3.2 ELECTRICAL CONTROLS
The electric TFT RC monitor is controlled by a very powerful, state-of-the-art electronics system. The key components of the system
are the motor control boards and a communication board. Each motor control board has its own microprocessor and a sophisticated
motor control chip. The communication board also has a microprocessor, which handles the interface to the operator stations. All the
components on these boards are solid state; there are no relays or electromechanical devices to wear out over time. The hardware
and software have been designed with several key features:
3.2.1 MOTOR CONTROL BOARD (MCB) AUTO CONFIGURE
Each monitor has three MCBs, one for each motor.The MCB controls motor movement and direction for horizontal rotation, elevation,
and nozzle pattern. In the unlikely event of a MCB failure, the failed board can be removed and one of the other two remaining MCBs
can be moved into that position. This MCB will then auto configure itself to take over the control of that axis, so that the monitor can
continue to be used, with two of the three motors. This is also a helpful benefit when troubleshooting and requires fewer spare parts
to be stocked.
3.2.2 MOTOR CURRENT LIMITING
The microprocessor on the MCB continuously monitors the motor current. As the motor reaches an end stop or if there is an
obstruction, the motor current rises very quickly and the motor control chip automatically shuts down the motor in a few milliseconds.
This eliminates the need for any type of external limit switches and the associated wiring. The microprocessor also locks the operator
from moving in the stopped direction again, until the operator first moves in the opposite direction.
3.2.3 MOTOR SOFT STOPS
The horizontal and vertical motors are equipped with feedback encoders which allow the microprocessor to know the motor position
at all times. The first time a motor reaches an end stop or strikes an obstruction, the microprocessor sets a new soft stop position just
before the end stop. From that point on, when the axis approaches the stop, the MCB automatically slows down the motor until the
end stop is reached. This significantly reduces the wear on the motor, gearbox, and gear drives.
3.2.4 MOTOR SLOW/FAST SPEED
When an operator presses one of the buttons, the associated motor starts in low speed mode for accurate control of the water
stream. For Tornado Monitors, after approximately ½ second the motor automatically ramps up to high speed, for quickly moving into
position. For all other monitors, the speed ramps up after 2 seconds. When quickly changing directions, monitor remains at speed of
prior move. If low speed is selected, monitor does not ramp to high speed but remains in low speed.
3.2.5 COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL
The communication from the monitor to the operator stations is performed over two wires using RS-485 serial protocol. Multiple
operator stations can be added with only two wires for power and two wires for the RS-485 protocol between each station.
3.2.6 OSCILLATE AND PARK FEATURES
The OSCILLATE feature allows the user to program up to 65 points of continuous movement of the horizontal and vertical axes. The
OSCILLATE pattern can be programmed from any operator station that has the OSC button.
The PARK feature allows the user to move the monitor, with one touch of a button, to a safe position before moving the fire truck.
The monitor will always move to two end stops to verify the correct position. During the programming procedure, the user has the
ability to select which axis moves first. This is helpful to avoid lights, hoses, obstructions, etc. The user can program up to 10 points
of movement to reach the final park position. The PARK pattern can be programmed from any operator station that has low profile
keypad buttons. A relay contact is available for connection to the truck alarm
3.2.7 SMART STREAM TECHNOLOGY
This technology, only available with TFT RC nozzles, utilizes a position encoder in the nozzle actuator to give the user greater control
on the stream pattern, especially at FOG position. Nozzles equipped with a FLUSH position are programmed to stop and pause at
full FOG position when moving towards the FLUSH position, preventing unwanted water flow.Asecond press on the button will cause
the nozzle shaper to continue to move to FLUSH position for removing debris from the nozzle.
3.2.8 MONITOR DISABLE INTERLOCK
This feature, only available with TFT RC Extend-A-Guns and Ladder/Platform versions of monitors, provides an interlock for RC
monitors that are installed on trucks in extremely confined spaces. This interlock can also be used to prevent a RC monitor from
moving and potentially damaging surrounding equipment. TFT RC Extend-A-Guns are shipped with the Monitor Disable Interlock
feature enabled. This feature prevents the monitor from moving when the RC Extend-A-Gun is in the retracted position. Ladder/
Platform versions of monitors require a signal wired to an inhibit input in the aerial electronics interface box. Once active this interlock
will prevent the monitor from damaging the apparatus that the monitor is installed on and prevent operator error from causing costly
damage.
3.2.9 MONITOR SIT-AND-STAY FEATURE
Once the PARK pattern has been performed, the monitor will enter an active state of checking axis positions. If road vibration causes
the axes to move or an operator tries to move the manual override knob, the motor control boards will command the motors back to
the PARK axis position. This feature can be cancelled by hitting any of the movement buttons on the membrane switch. This feature
is not disabled by the INHIBIT interlock feature. Power must be applied to the RC monitor for this feature to remain active.

3.2.10 MONITOR DEPLOY FEATURE
This feature available through YE-CAN1 Multiplex Interface Control, Y4E-JS Joystick Operator Station, Y4E-RP-D Panel Mount
Operator Station with Display, Y4E-CT-##-D Tether Operator Station with Display, and YE-RF-##-D Wireless Operator Station with
Display, will move the RC monitor horizontal & vertical axes to a predetermined position. This feature is useful to quickly move the
monitor from a PARK position into an attack position, ready for water flow. Initiating a DEPLOY movement will command each axis
to 50% of their overall travel limits.
IMPORTANT Review these sections and decide on locations before starting installation process.

4.0 ELECTRICAL CONTROLS INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
The electric RC monitor is supplied with a monitor mounted operator station. The wiring on the monitor and for this operator station
is factory installed. The assembly is supplied with a cable for connection to the operator control stations as shown in Figure 4.0 or
directly to a protected voltage supply. This cable has 4-conductors which supply power and the communications from the operator
stations to the monitor. To complete the installation, the installer will need to mount and wire the selected operator stations. The
power supply for the monitor will need to be connected to a protected circuit from the truck’s power distribution center. Refer to the
specifications section 3.1 for nominal current draw.
For installations where the customer would like to turn off the voltage to the monitor independent of the truck master switch, the
installer needs to install a SPST (single-pole single-throw) toggle switch. Install this toggle switch in a location that can quickly be
accessed before using the RC monitor. The toggle switch needs to be wired between the protected voltage supply and the red wire
feeding the RC monitor.
NOTICE INSTALLATION AND SERVICE PRACTICES
• Disconnect power before installing or servicing the electrical components to avoid electrical shock hazard or injury due to moving
parts.
• Provide adequate power supply for all electrical controls and motors taking into account voltage drops on wiring. See section 3.1
for electrical specifications.
• Careful selection of wiring is critical to avoid excessive voltage drop.
• Good mechanical connections on the wires are absolutely necessary and should be checked periodically. Poor electrical
connections can cause power loss to the electric RC monitor and be a fire hazard.
• Be careful to route cables and controls in protected areas away from high heat sources.
• Use grommets whenever wires pass through holes to prevent damage due to snags, abrasions, etc.
• Secure cables close to control box with plastic wire ties or cable clamps to relieve stress on the cables.
• Observe precautions for electrostatic sensitive devices when installing or servicing controls. Touch fingers to bare metal surface
before handling control boards to dissipate static electricity.
• Make sure that all control covers and gaskets are restored to their original condition after installation or servicing to maintain
weather tight seal.
Recommended Tool List - 11/32” nut driver - Wire cutter/stripper - Terminal crimping tool - Utility knife - 20mm open-end box wrench
- 17mm open-end box wrench - 5/32” drill bit - 25/32” drill bit - #2 Phillips screwdriver - Small flat blade screwdriver
IMPORTANT - When mechanical installation and electrical connections are complete, perform the following test to verify voltage
supply is adequate and the current limiting feature is functioning.
1) Apply power to monitor control box.
2) Press LEFT or RIGHT button and hold until monitor reaches its stop position. Continue to hold button down.
3) Once movement is stopped, manually turn override knob in opposite direction while continuing to hold button down. If knob can
be turned, then voltage supply is adequate. If knob cannot be turned and motor continues to operate, then the voltage supply or
wiring is not adequate. Check connections and voltage connection point, rewire if necessary. NOTE: Override knob will only
turn in one direction.

4.0.1 OPERATOR STATIONS
The electric RC monitor has five different styles of operator stations for use in various locations on the fire truck or fire ground.
The design of the operator station communications allows users to override commands on other stations. The “last” button pressed
has control. The overridden user can regain control by releasing his/her button and pressing again.
Platform and ladder electronics enclosures are pre-configured for one set of inputs to have a master override feature. The operator
station connected to these inputs, typically at the base of the ladder, will override any other operator station.
Any operator station with a communication board or connected to a communication board can be field configured with the master
override feature. This allows the user to setup an operator station on the fire truck or fire ground as the master override station.
4.0.2 SETTING UP A MASTER OPERATING STATION
Any remote operator station or interface board can be re-configured to override
all other operator stations. These stations include the Y4E-RP, Y4E-RP-D,
Y4E-CT-##, Y4E-CT-##-D, Y4E-TS, Y4E-JS, YE-RF-##, YE-RF-##-D, or any
inputs connected to an interface box such as Y4E-COMM or ladder/platform
enclosures.
Note: A master station will override another master station.
To enable the master override feature, follow these steps:
1. Ensure power is OFF to the unit.
2. Remove lid from enclosure.
3. Locate configuration DIP switches on circuit board.
4. Slide DIP switch #1 to the ON position for a master station.
5. Replace lid. Verify rubber seal is clean and undamaged. Verify that no
wires are caught between lid and box.

Figure 4.0.2
Master Override Setup
4.0.3 PARK FEATURE
The PARK position needs to be programmed during installation. The monitor needs to “find” two (2) hard stops, one for each axis,
before the monitor can move to the PARK position. When programming, the first two commands teach the monitor where to find the
hard stops. This guarantees that the position is accurate. From that point, the programmer can program the move to the final PARK
position.
During normal operation, each time the PARK button is pressed, the monitor moves the nozzle to the full straight stream position,
moves to each programmed hard stop, and then moves to the PARK position. While the monitor is performing the PARK feature,
pressing any button will stop the monitor. If the installer prefers to have the nozzle move to the full fog position during the PARK
pattern, see section 4.0.3.3.
RECOMMENDED PARK POSITION: For truck mounted applications, it is recommended that the monitor be parked in a position
such that the monitor’s nozzle rests against a bracket or support surface. This will minimize bouncing of the nozzle when the
apparatus is traveling. Always be sure the monitor is properly parked before moving the truck and know the overall height to avoid
damage from overhead obstructions such as doors or bridges.
NOTE: Depending on the manufactured date, it may be necessary to deploy the Extend-A-Gun in order to enter PARK programming
mode.
4.0.3.1 PROGRAMMING PARK PROGRAMMING MUST BE INITIATED
WITHIN 1 MINUTE OF APPLYING POWER TO MONITOR.
After 1 minute, programming access is blocked. Power must then be cycled to reset 1 minute timer.
Press and hold PARK button (~10 seconds) until light blinks. Release button. Light will continue to blink while in program mode.
FIRST AXIS TO MOVE:
Press and release LEFT/RIGHT or UP/DOWN button of axis that will move to first hard stop. Light will blink rapidly when hard stop
is reached.
SECOND AXIS TO MOVE:
Press and release LEFT/RIGHT or UP/DOWN button of axis that will move to second hard stop. Light will blink rapidly when hard
stop is reached.
MOVE TO PARK POSITION:
Press and hold the LEFT/RIGHT or UP/DOWN buttons to move monitor to first point of park routine, press and release PARK button.
Light will blink rapidly to acknowledge position.
Repeat until pattern is complete (up to 10 points).
Press and hold PARK button until light turns off. Release button.
