AWG I Operating manual I Nozzles I Turbo nozzles EVO DESCRIPTION
8 / 24 M1129B10 I Rev. 01-10/21
3 DESCRIPTION
3.1 Function
With the AWG turbo nozzles EVO, a full jet or a spray jet from 0° to
120° can be generated at a selectable flow rate.
The extinguishing agent discharge is started and stopped with the
hand lever.
By turning the nozzle head (jet form sleeve) the spraying angle is
changed between full jet and the different settings for the spray jet.
Full jet If the jet pipe head is in the full jet position, a focused jet
with a long throwing distance and corresponding mechan-
ical penetration force of the water flow is achieved.
Spray jet In the other positions of the nozzle head, an atomised spray
jet covering an area is generated. The spectrum ranges
from a concentrated spray pattern to a wide filled spray
cone.
Rinsing In this position, dirt particles can be removed from the
nozzle in the direction of flow.
For models with a fixed sprocket in the jet form sleeve, the sprocket
ensures a filled spray cone by reflecting the water droplets. With mod-
els without a fixed sprocket, no water droplets are reflected, a hollow
conical spray is created (hollow jet).
The turbo wheel (optional), which rotates quickly in the spray jet, is
used for fine atomisation of the spray jet.
Extinguishing foam can be produced with an optional foam attachment.
With the optional FIRE-EX Turbo 1000 wetting agent cartridge, wetting
agent is generated directly in the hollow nozzle and applied with the
turbo nozzle EVO.
3.2 Intended use
Fire-fighting with both full jet and spray jet
When used with foam agent (with foam attachment accessory):
fighting fires involving non-polar liquids (petrol, oil)
Only use the device in technically sound condition and in accordance
with the intended purpose and with safety and potential dangers in
mind.

IMPORTANT
Product information for foam concentrates
Observe the information on health hazards and potential environ-
mental hazards (e.g. water hazard class) provided in the safety data
sheet and other product information for the foam concentrates used.
Use of different foam concentrates
Note the compatibility of different foam concentrates.
Hand grip
The turbo nozzle EVO can be operated without a handle (de-
scription of assembly/disassembly in Chapter 7.2). The func-
tion of the nozzle is not affected.
With turbo nozzles EVO from Qmin = 500 l/min, the continuous
M6 threaded hole must be closed with a M6x6 threaded pin
and glued in tightly. If the threaded holes are not drilled
through, screw in a threaded pin as protection against con-
tamination.
Extinguishing in electrical installations /rated voltage up to 380 kV *
If the control distances according to DIN VDE 0132, Table 3: guideline
values H-5-10, are adhered to, a full jet of water from the turbo nozzle
EVO in the highest flow position has sufficient resistance according to
DIN VDE 0132 to prevent a voltage flash-over at high voltages of up to
380 kV.
For low voltage up to 1 kV, the guide values N-1-5 must be observed.
* Test report of an accredited test laboratory according to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025 is
