1. SAFETY
Firefighting is an inherently risky activity. Knowledge and training may manage that risk. This document is
not a training manual and does not provide all detailed operation. This guide serves as a quick reference for
SAM operation. AHJ (Authority Having Jurisdiction) shall provide training and guidelines for system operation.
1.1 DANGERS, WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, and NOTICES
DANGERS, WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, and NOTICES consist of two parts: A heading (that identifies possible re-
sult if disregarded) and a statement of the hazard (that provides the minimum precautions). The following
warnings and cautions are used throughout the Hale SAM manuals.
INDICATES A HAZARDOUS SITUATION, WHICH IF NOT AVOIDED WILL RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY
OR DEATH.
INDICATES A HAZARDOUS SITUATION, WHICH IF NOT AVOIDED COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY
OR DEATH.
INDICATES A POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS SITUATION, WHICH IF NOT AVOIDED MAY RESULT IN MI-
NOR OR MODERATE INJURY.
ADDRESSES PRACTICES NOT RELATED TO PERSONAL INJURY.
1.2 SAM General DANGER, WARNING And NOTICES
ACTIVATING A FOAM OFF BALLOON TURNS OFF THE SMARTFOAM SYSTEM, TURNING OFF FOAM
TO ALL FOAM CAPABLE DISCHARGES, HOWEVER, THE DISCHARGE(S) ARE NOT CLOSED AND CON-
TINUE TO FLOW WATER ONLY.
AHJ MUST INSURE PROPER TRAINING IS IN PLACE FOR ALL OPERATORS. THIS QUICK START GUIDE
DOES NOT REPLACE OR SUPERSEDE THE OPERATION INSTALLATION MAINTENANCE MANUAL OR
PROPER TRAINING.
ALTHOUGH SMARTFOAM AND SMARTCAFS BOTH UTILIZE THE FOAM LABEL, A FOAM LABELED DIS-
CHARGE BUBBLE DOES NOT OPERATE THE SAME WAY ON SAM FOR BOTH SYSTEMS.
DO NOT ALTER THE CAN NETWORK COMMUNICATIONS (SAE J1939 CAN BUS) OR CONNECT OTHER
DEVICES TO ANY OF THE CAFS, CAPTIUM, FOAM, OR SAM CAN BUS BACKBONE(S).
DO NOT RUN THE PRIMER FOR MORE THAN 45 SECONDS. IF PRIME IS NOT ACHIEVED IN 30 - 45
SECONDS, STOP AND LOOK FOR AIR LEAKS OR BLOCKED SUCTION HOSE.

FROM THE VALVE X SCREEN (DISCHARGE VALVE CONTROL SCREEN), THE OPERATOR MAY SELECT
WATER ONLY, FOAM ONLY, OR CAFS. TO SELECT WATER ONLY, SWIPE THE PSI PRESET (RIGHT-
HAND SIDE OF THE WIDGET) TO THE TARGET. TO SELECT FOAM ONLY, SWIPE THE FOAM ONLY
PRESET TO THE TARGET. TO SELECT CAFS, SWIPE THE (WET, MED, OR DRY) CAFS PRESET TO THE
TARGET.
IF THE DISCHARGE DOES NOT ACTIVATE VERIFY THE CAFS SYSTEM PRESETS (PRESET 1 FOR CAFS,
PRESET 7 FOR FOAM ONLY ON THE SMARTCAFS DISPLAY) CONFIGURATION MATCHES THE SAM
CONFIGURATION. (SAM WILL ONLY ACTIVATE MATCHING CONFIGURATIONS – WET, MED, OR DRY.)
IF THE CONFIGURATIONS DO NOT MATCH, OPERATE SAM MANUALLY TO OPEN THE VALVE USING
THE SAM CONTROL CENTER. THEN OPERATE THE CAFS SYSTEM FROM THE SMARTCAFS DISPLAY.
KEEP ALL I/O PORT COVERS IN PLACE DURING USE TO PREVENT WATER DAMAGE.
ONLY TOUCH THE SCREEN IN ONE PLACE AT A TIME. THE TOUCHSCREENS DO NOT SUPPORT
MULTI–TOUCH.
SOME WATER ONLY OPERATIONS MAY DAMAGE THE CAFS SYSTEM IF THE CLUTCH IS ENGAGED.
REFERENCE CAFS QUICKSTART GUIDE, DISENGAGING THE COMPRESSOR CLUTCH (PAGE 10 OF
FSG-MNL-00176) TO ENSURE PROPER CAFS TURN OFF WHEN SAM INCLUDES A CAFS SYSTEM.
WHILE SAM CAN REDUCE PUMP OPERATOR WORKLOAD, IT DOES NOT TAKE THE PLACE OF THE
PUMP OPERATOR. THE PUMP OPERATOR STILL NEEDS TO CALCULATE THE REQUIRED LINE PRES-
SURE TO SUPPORT THE HOSE LAY AND NOZZLE IN USE. SAM WILL MAINTAIN THE SET PRESSURE
IN AUTO MODE.

2. USING SMARTFOAM WITH SAM
SAM interfaces with either a HALE SmartFOAM or a SmartCAFS system. To utilize foam with the SAM system,
activate a foam associated Quickset from the Auto Mode Home screen or foam associated preset from the
Valve X via the Select Discharge screen. (The discharge valve control screen.)
Once the SmartFoam system is active, the SmartFoam display may be used to control the foam system as if
the apparatus did not have SAM. Reference SmartFOAM Electronic Foam Proportioning Systems Models:
Class A only – 1.7 AHP, 2.1 A Class A/B – 3.3, 5.0, 6.5 Description, Installation, and Operation Manual (P/N
FSG-MNL-00158) for detailed foam system operating instructions. Figure 1 shows the SmartFOAM default
display. While FOAM is ON all foam capable discharges flow foam when open. Additionally, all foam compati-
bility and flushing notes/recommendations apply (see FSG-MNL-00158) when using SmartFOAM with SAM.
Figure 1. SmartFOAM Display (Default)
2.3 Activating A SAM FOAM Quickset
To use SAM to activate a FOAM Quickset, perform the following.
A. Touch desired Quickset. (All foam available discharges are labeled with the word FOAM.) See
Figure 2.
Figure 2. Activating A Foam Quickset
B. Drag Quickset to target (PUSH TO PUMP or ADD LINE).
C. Release Quickset (remove finger from screen).

word FOAM and are located to the left of the widget.) See Figure 5.
D. Drag bubble to target (SET PRESSURE).
E. Release bubble (remove finger from screen).
The SmartFOAM system powers on and activates preset #1. The associated concentration of foam solution
is discharged. See example, Figure 3.
2.5 Close A Foam Discharge (With SAM)
SAM can control multiple FOAM capable discharges. If ONLY one FOAM discharge is active, and that dis-
charge is closed, FOAM is also turned off when the discharge closes. However, if multiple FOAM discharges
are active, FOAM stays on until the last FOAM discharge is closed.
To close a SmartFOAM discharge, perform the following.
A. On SCC Home screen, touch desired active FOAM discharge. Displays Valve X screen (dis-
charge valve control screen) displays. See left-hand side of Figure 6.
B. On Valve X screen (discharge valve control screen), swipe CLOSE LINE bubble to target (cen-
ter of widget). See right-hand side of Figure 6.
Figure 6. Closing A Foam Discharge Sequence
NOTES
The CLOSE LINE balloon activates automatically (the same as a preset would). No confirmation is
required.
If the swipe fails, times out, misses the target, or the operator only touches and releases the bal-
loon; a confirmation popup window appears (Figure 7). Touch the YES bubble to close the line or
the NO bubble to make no change.

Figure 8 shows the SmartFOAM display when FOAM is turned off. However, if additional FOAM discharges
are active, FOAM stays on (see Figure 3) until the last FOAM discharge is closed.
Figure 8. SmartFOAM Display With No FOAM Discharges Active
2.6 Turn Off FOAM (With SAM)
As stated above, SAM can control multiple FOAM capable discharges. No matter how many FOAM discharges
are active, activating the FOAM OFF bubble turns off FOAM to all FOAM capable discharges and any open
discharge continues flowing water ONLY.
To use SAM to turn off FOAM, perform the following.
ACTIVATING A FOAM OFF BALLOON TURNS OFF THE SMARTFOAM SYSTEM, TURNING OFF FOAM
TO ALL FOAM CAPABLE DISCHARGES, HOWEVER, THE DISCHARGE(S) REMAIN OPEN AND CON-
TINUE TO FLOW WATER ONLY.
A. On SCC Home screen, touch desired active FOAM discharge. Displays Valve X screen (dis-
charge valve control screen) displays.
B. On Valve X screen (discharge valve control screen), swipe FOAM OFF bubble to target (center
of widget).

Figure 10. Foam Off Popup Confirmation
After confirmation, all discharges previously providing FOAM continue to provide water ONLY, until closed
individually.
3. USING SMARTCAFS WITH SAM
SAM also interfaces with a HALE SmartCAFS system. When SAM initializes, the SmartCAFS air compressor
(clutch) is engaged and remains engaged unless manually disengaged from the SmartCAFS display/control-
ler. (Reference FSG-MNL-00157, UV SmartCAFS Installation and Operation Manual.) To utilize CAFS with the
SAM system, activate a CAFS associated Quickset from the Auto Mode Home screen or CAFS associated pre-
set from the Valve X via the Select Discharge screen (discharge valve control screen). The CAFS system can
also provide traditional FOAM in addition to CAFS.
It is important to note that when operating SAM with SmartCAFS, that a CAFS (wet, med, or dry) preset (or
Quickset) activates preset #1 on the CAFS system; and that a foam only (FOAM) preset (or Quickset) acti-
vates preset #7 on the CAFS system.
Prior to activating a CAFS associated Quickset or preset, if the apparatus is equipped with an automatic or
manual dual tank (ADT or MDT) or manual single tank (MST) selector, place the selector in position to deliver
the desired foam concentrate.
Once the SmartCAFS system is active, the SmartCAFS display may be used to control the CAFS system as if
the apparatus did not have SAM. Reference FSG-MNL-00157, UV SmartCAFS Installation and Operation
Manual. Additionally, all foam compatibility and flushing notes/recommendations apply when using
SmartCAFS with SAM (see FSG-MNL-00157).
NOTE
Any discharge plumbed into the CAFS manifold prior to the air injection point will be FOAM ONLY
capable. Although this is NOT typical it is supported by SAM via the FOAM label.
ALTHOUGH SMARTFOAM AND SMARTCAFS BOTH UTILIZE THE LABEL FOAM, ON SAM A FOAM LA-
BELED DISCHARGE BALLOON DOES NOT ENABLE THE SAME PRESET ON THE SMARTFOAM AND
SMARTCAFS SYSTEMS.
3.1 Activating A CAFS Quickset
To activate a CAFS ready Quickset, perform the following.
A. If equipped, set ADT, MDT, or MST Selector to desired foam source.
B. Touch desired Quickset. (All CAFS available discharges are labeled with one of the following
words: DRY, MED, or WET.) See Figure 11.

Figure 11. Activating A CAFS Quickset
C. Drag Quickset to target (PUSH TO PUMP or ADD LINE).
D. Release Quickset (remove finger from screen).
The SmartCAFS system powers on and opens air valve and activates preset #1. The associated concentra-
tion of air and foam solution is discharged.
Any operation of the CAFS system (beyond launching the preset from the SAM Control Center) must be per-
formed from the SmartCAFS Control Display, reference UV SmartCAFS Installation and Operation Manual
(P/N FSG-MNL-00157).

3.7 Closing A CAFS Discharge (With SAM)
SAM can control multiple CAFS capable discharges. If ONLY one CAFS discharge is active, and that discharge
is closed, CAFS is also turned off when the discharge is closed. However, if multiple CAFS discharges are ac-
tive, CAFS stays on until the last CAFS discharge is closed.
NOTES
If only one CAFS discharge is open, the CLOSE LINE balloon activates automatically (the same as
a preset would). No confirmation is required.
If one or more CAFS discharges are open, and FOAM rather than CAFS is desired, see Changing A
CAFS Discharge To FOAM ONLY (paragraph 3.5, page 10). Additionally, if water only is desired, see
Turning Off CAFS (paragraph 3.8, page 14).
If a swipe fails, times out, misses the target, or the operator only touches and releases the balloon;
the applicable confirmation popup window appears (see FOAM OFF and CLOSE LINE reference
from above). Touch the YES bubble to complete the action or the NO bubble to make no change.
To use the SAM Control Center to close a SmartCAFS discharge, perform the following.
A. On SCC Home screen, touch desired active CAFS discharge. Displays Valve X screen (dis-
charge valve control screen) displays. See left-hand side of Figure 23.
B. On Valve X screen (discharge valve control screen), swipe CLOSE LINE bubble to target (cen-
ter of widget). See Figure 23.
Figure 23. Closing A CAFS Discharge Sequence
On the SmartCAFS display, AIR is turned off when only the icon on the right-hand side of the display is

3.8 Turning Off CAFS (Using SAM)
When SAM has been used to activate CAFS and then CAFS is desired to be turned off via SAM the procedure
varies depending on either the desired transition (CAFS to FOAM, CAFS to water, or CAFS to pump shutdown)
and/or the number of active CAFS discharges.
3.8.1 Turning The CAFS System Off
If only one Quickset (or one preset) is active, simply use the CLOSE LINE balloon to turn off SmartCAFS (see
paragraph 3.7, above). This terminates CAFS (and FOAM) operations whether water flow is continued or ter-
minated at the same time.
If more than one Quickset or preset is active, and termination of pumping is desired, close all discharges
(CAFS and any other) sequentially and CAFS turns off when the last CAFS discharge is closed.
If more than one Quickset or preset is active and the continued pumping of water via the CAFS discharges is
desired, perform the following.
A. On SCC Home screen, touch any active CAFS discharge. (See Figure 14, page 9.) Displays
Valve X screen (discharge valve control screen) displays. (See Figure 15.)
B. On Valve X screen (discharge valve control screen), swipe FOAM ONLY bubble to target (cen-
ter of gauge). (See Figure 18, page 11.)
C. Touch YES on the popup verification. (See Figure 19, page 11.)
D. On Valve X screen (discharge valve control screen), swipe FOAM OFF bubble to target (center
of gauge). (See Figure 25.)
Figure 25. Turning The CAFS System Off
E. Touch YES on the popup verification. (See Figure 10, page 7.)
The CAFS system is turned off and the discharges (previously flowing CAFS) now flow water only.
SOME WATER ONLY OPERATIONS MAY DAMAGE THE CAFS SYSTEM IF THE CLUTCH IS ENGAGED.
