1.0 MEANING OF SAFETY SIGNAL WORDS
A safety related message is identified by a safety alert symbol and a signal word to indicate the level of risk involved with a particular
hazard. Per ANSI Z535.6, the definitions of the four signal words are as follows:
DANGER DANGER indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious
injury.
WARNING WARNING indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious
injury.
CAUTION CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor
or moderate injury.
NOTICE NOTICE is used to address practices not related to physical injury.
2.0 SAFETY
DANGER An inadequate supply of pressure and/or flow will cause an ineffective stream and can result
in injury or death. Choose operating conditions to deliver adequate fire suppression. See flow
graphs.
WARNING The stream exiting a nozzle is very powerful and capable of causing injury and property damage.
Make sure the nozzle is securely attached and pointing in a safe direction before water is turned
on. Do not direct water stream to cause injury or damage to persons or property.
WARNING Equipment may be damaged if frozen while containing significant amounts of water. Such damage
may be difficult to detect visually. Subsequent pressurization can lead to injury or death. Any time
the equipment is subject to possible damage due to freezing, it must be tested and approved for
use by qualified personnel before being considered safe for use.
WARNING This equipment is intended for use by trained personnel for firefighting. Use of this equipment for
other purposes may involve hazards not addressed by this manual. Seek appropriate guidance
and training to reduce risk of injury.
CAUTION The electric drives are current limited but may still produce enough force to cause injury. To avoid
injury from a moving monitor:
• Be aware that the monitor may be remotely operated
• Keep hands and fingers away from pinch points on the monitor
• Never operate the manual override while electric controls are in operation
NOTICE To prevent mechanical damage, do not drop or throw equipment.
3.0 GENERAL INFORMATION
TFT’s Tornado RC compact industrial monitor is designed for both fire and industrial applications. This industrial version is certified
to ingress protection IP66/67 to limit penetration of dust and moisture into the electronics, ball races and gears. Models can be
remotely operated and are capable of flowing up to 500 gpm (2000 l/min). Heavy duty seals and O-rings help mitigate contamination
in applications like mining and road construction.
The Tornado RC compact industrial monitor features include:
• High performance seals in both the vertical and horizontal axis minimize penetration of dust and moisture in bearing races
• Override knobs replaced with protective caps and O-rings to minimize penetration of dust and moisture into the worm gear area
• 340° maximum total rotation for the horizontal axis
• Horizontal axis has infinitely adjustable travel stops
