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 WARNING And NOTICES
ENSURE THE OK TO PUMP (GREEN LIGHT ON THE IN-CAB CONTROL PANEL) AND THROTTLE READY
(GREEN LED ON THE TWISTER) INDICATORS AND THE PUMP CONTROLLER ARE ON BEFORE AT-
TEMPTING TO OPERATE THE PUMP. FOLLOW ALL SOG (STANDARD OPERATING GUIDELINES) FOR
PARKING BRAKE, PUMP ENGAGEMENT, AND WHEEL CHOCKS.
SAM PROVIDES AUTOMATED CONTROL OF EACH INDIVIDUAL DISCHARGE LINES PRESSURE.
WHILE FLOWING, THE VALVES GATE TO MAINTAIN THE SET PRESSURE. ADDITIONAL FEATURES
ASSIST THE OPERATOR WITH THE TRANSITION FROM TANK TO HYDRANT (OR DRAFTING). LOW
INTAKE MONITORING FOR A HYDRANT AND LOW FLOW DETECTION FOR DISCHARGES (CAN HELP
INFORM THE OPERATOR IF A NOZZLE IS CLOSED OR A HOSE LINE IS SEVERELY KINKED). AD-
VANCED FEATURES CALCULATE PUMP FLOW RATES ABOVE 600 GPM AND PROVIDE ADVANCED
MAINTENANCE REMINDERS TO REDUCE LIFE CYCLE COSTS.
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.
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.
ONLY TOUCH THE SCREEN IN ONE PLACE AT A TIME. THE TOUCHSCREENS DO NOT SUPPORT
MULTI–TOUCH.

3. OEM Connections To SAM
3.1 Hale labels (and/or tags) SAM connection points (for OEM/apparatus builders) to aide in proper installation.
The SAM installation on an apparatus should be verified prior to delivery of the apparatus
4. Electrical Connections
4.1 Power Requirements
The OEM/apparatus builder shall supply two separate sources of +12 VDC power (ignition), one capable of 85
Amps and one capable of 300 Amps (one for SAM and one for the ESP primer system respectively).
OTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS MUST NOT BE SUPPLIED FROM THE SAM SYSTEM SUPPLY. DO NOT
CONNECT THE PRIMER AND HALE SAM TO THE SAME POWER WIRE.
When an optional SmartFOAM system is selected a third +12 VDC power source capable of
40 Amps (for a 1.7 AHP or 2.1 A foam pump), 60 Amps (for a 3.3 or 5.0 foam pump), or 80 Amps (for a 6.5
foam system) is also required.
DO NOT CONNECT THE SAM, ESP, OR FOAM SYSTEM TO A LOAD SHEDDING CIRCUIT.
When an optional SmartCAFS system is selected a third +12 VDC power source capable of
60 Amps for a 3.3 or 5.0 foam proportioning system is also required.
DO NOT CONNECT THE SAM, ESP, OR CAFS SYSTEM TO A LOAD SHEDDING CIRCUIT.
Connect System Power Tag

4.2 CAN Bus Requirements
The SAM system utilizes three (3) separate CAN buses (see Figure 2, page 13): Blue (engine ECU), Green (intake
valves), and Red (discharge valves).
The Blue bus connects the apparatus (ECU) and the SAM control modules
and is labeled for connection by the OEM/builder . All CAN bus wiring is provided by Hale for SAM system
components.
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 BACK-BONE(S).
4.3 Interlocks
OEM Pump Engaged, and Throttle Ready interlock inputs and auxiliary interlock “OK to Pump” may be provided
but is not required). These are all positive polarity inputs.
Located by the Blue engine can bus connection on the left frame rail.
4.4 Tank level transducer(s)
Install tank level transducers as per ITL40 manual. Calibrate ITL40(s) per ITL40 manual or from 800 screen
Enter Password 7474 and follow on screen instructions.
Mount the pressure transducer (sensor) vertically to insure an accurate reading and to reduce the possibility of sensor port contamination.
4.5 Speaker and Amplifier
Mount the speakers behind the speaker cutouts on the right and left of the pump module with the wire facing
down for proper drainage. Two (2) should be place on the left of the apparatus and two (2) should be on the
right side of the apparatus. The amplifier should be place in a location behind to operators pump panel away
from direct contact with moisture. Mount the ground loop isolator to the back of the 800 screen with the
supplied clamp and connect the blue connector supplied in the harness.

5. Compressed Air Requirements
5.1 The OEM/apparatus builder shall supply dry compressed air with a minimum of 75 psi, a maxi-mum of
150 psi. (Typically, from the vehicle air brake system which is typically capable of the 90 psi to 150 psi at
approximately 13 cfm at 1250 rpm.) The pump kit or module provides a loose coil of hose to connect the
OEM/apparatus builder supplied air. See Figure 53. The air supply should include a protection valve as
required by DOT standards.
Connect to Truck Air Tag
6. Plumbing Connections
6.1 Water Column tubing.
A Coil of 3/4-in tubing (loose or pre-connected at SAM end) SAM end connects to fitting on the SAM Drain
Manifold Assy. Plumb to top of onboard water tank fill tower (above the overflow level–in atmosphere)
Labeled as “PLUMB TO TOP OF TANK”
Note: At the onboard water tank access/fill tower, route the 3/4-in flex line to prevent (to maximum extent
possible) incidental items (bags of oil dry, spare supply containers, etc.) from being placed on the tubing and
damaging/breaking it.
6.2 Tank Valves
Connect tank-to-pump and tank fill valves to the apparatus on board tank.
6.3 Connect Drains as labeled. No connection needed on those labeled “to atmosphere”.

7. Tablet Mounting (If equipped)
7.1 Mount docking station in an easily accessed location near the operators’ panel. (The docking station
may NOT be in the cab unless it is mounted in a close compartment.)
7.2 Supply constant 12Vdc power and ground to provided power supply and connect to docking station. This
should be always powered and protected on a 10amp circuit.
8. WIFI router/antenna (if equipped)
8.1 Mount above the Operators side of the apparatus. The rubber antennas should be above the body
and/or cab but not the tallest item on the truck. The higher it is mounted the better the tablet range will be.
Connect the power for the 12/24vdc converter to the supplied harness.
