CAUTION The electric Hurricane RC may be remotely operated. The electric drives are current limited but
may still produce enough force to cause injury. Keep hands and fingers away from pinch points on
the monitor.
CAUTION
CAUTION
CAUTION
Do not use the manual override handwheels while the electric controls are in operation. The
electric drives produce enough torque to cause injury.
Maximum pressure is 200 psi (14 bar). Damage or injury may result if the monitor is operated
beyond these limits.
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 standard Z535.4-1998, the definitions of the three signal words are as follows:
DANGER
CAUTION
WARNING
DANGER indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or
serious injury.
WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death
or serious injury.
CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or
moderate injury.
The stream exiting a monitor is very powerful and capable of causing injury and property damage.
Make sure the monitor is securely attached to the base and pointing in a safe direction before water
to the monitor is turned on. Use care in directing the stream.
Injury can result from an inadequately supported monitor. The monitor mount must be capable of
supporting 1500 lbs (700 kg) of nozzle reaction force.
2.0 SAFETY
3.0 GENERAL INFORMATION
WARNING
The operation of this monitor can be dangerous. The following must be observed at all times.
The Task Force Tips’ HURRICANE RC is an electric remote monitor, with a single low-profile waterway discharge. It has high flow and
low friction loss characteristics. Capable of flowing 1250 gpm (4500 l/min) while maintaining a FULL 450° of rotational travel (225° either
side of center position). Maximum operating pressure is 200 psi (14 bar). Field changeable horizontal rotation stops at 45°, 90° and 135°
either side of center position. Elevation range is 90° above horizontal and 45° below. Designed for field changeable 12 or 24 VDC
operation. The Hurricane RC comes with a factory installed control panel mounted on the monitor for controlling horizontal rotation,
elevation and nozzle pattern. See Task Force Tips’ Price List and Product Specifications for additional control stations. Unit comes with
30 feet of ultra-flexing robotic cable, enclosed in a unique wire guide, already wired to the monitor so installation effort is minimized.
Large handwheels are provided on the horizontal rotation and elevation drive for manual override. TFT's Master Stream 1250 nozzle
plugs into the factory installed nozzle power wire. All electrical components affecting water tightness are a minimum of NEMA 4 (IP65).
Motors and control boxes are factory tested for water tightness. Available with various inlet adapters for flanges and thread fittings. Inlet
also made for direct connection to TFT's Extend-A-Gun RC3 or RC4. Standard outlet is 2-½” National Hose male (65mm). Other outlets
are available (see figure 3.3). A threaded port (0.25” NPT) (6.4mm) is provided for pressure gauge. The monitor is made from hardcoat

3.1.1 MECHANICAL SPECIFICATIONS
On many vehicle installations the monitor is the highest point on the apparatus. Often it is critical that the monitor be properly stowed
before driving to avoid damage to overhead obstructions such as door openings. In these cases the use of a switch wired into the
apparatus "door open" circuit is highly recommended. The switch should be wired to give a "door open" signal if the monitor is not in the
stowed position. Due to the variety of possible mountings and nozzles, it is the installer's responsibility to supply the appropriate switch

3.5 ELECTRICAL CONTROLS
The electric Hurricane 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 electro-mechanical devices to wear out over time.
The hardware and software have been designed with several key features:
3.5.1 MOTOR CONTROL BOARD (MCB) AUTO CONFIGURE
Each monitor has three MCBs, one for each motor, which 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.
3.5.2 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.
3.5.3 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 external gears.
3.5.4 MOTOR SLOW/FAST SPEED
When an operator presses one of the buttons, the associated motor starts in slow speed mode so that the operator can accurately
control the water stream. After approximately 1-2 seconds the motor automatically ramps up to a fast speed, for quickly moving into
position. When quickly changing directions, monitor retains speed from prior move. If low speed is selected, monitor does not ramp to
high speed but remains in slow speed.
3.5.5 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.
4.1 STRUCTURAL REQUIREMENTS FOR MONITOR MOUNTING
The structure that the Hurricane RC Monitor is mounted to must withstand
the internal pressure of the monitor as well as shear and bending forces due
to nozzle reaction. Nozzle reaction can be as high as 1,050 lbs (480 kg) (1250
gpm at 200 psi).
For flanged connections, the use of flat flanges without raised faces is
recommended. Use a full-face gasket as defined in SME 16.21 or ISO 7483.
Tighten flange bolts in an alternating sequence as shown in figure 4.1.
Tighten to 76-80 ft-lb (100-110 Newton-Meters).
4.0 INSTALLATION
Injury can result from an inadequately supported monitor. The monitor mount must be capable of
supporting the nozzle reaction force which can be as high as 1500 lbs (700 kg). Flanges and pipe
made from plastic are inadequate for monitor mounting and must not be used. This monitor is not
recommended for portable use.
WARNING

3.5.6 OSCILLATE AND STOW 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 STOW 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 STOW position. The STOW pattern can be programmed from any operator station that has the STOW button.
See section 6.2.3 and 6.2.4 for programming instructions.
3.5.7 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. A second press on the button will cause the nozzle
shaper to continue to move to FLUSH position for removing debris from the nozzle.

4.2 INLET FITTINGS OR EXTEND-A-GUN RC INSTALLATION
The Hurricane RC Monitor is available with various inlet fittings as shown in figure 3.3. The Hurricane RC Monitor also connects directly
to TFT's Extend-A-Gun RC3 or RC4. The fittings and Extend-A-Gun RC are attached to the monitor by means of a threaded joint with an
o-ring seal. Once in the proper orientation, the threaded joint is locked from rotation by two ¼-28 button head cap screws as shown in
figure 4.2A. This makes for easy removal of the monitor, since the large threads of the joint are not tightened and do not have any thread
locking compounds on them. It is best to install the inlet fitting or Extend-A-Gun RC to the apparatus and than install the monitor to the
inlet fitting or Extend-A-Gun RC. This gives more room to install the bolts in the case of flanged fittings. Referring to figures 4.2A and
4.2B, the installation sequence is as follows:
1) Install inlet adapter or Extend-A-Gun RC to apparatus.
• Mount so that 180 degree apart threaded cross holes will give desired direction relative to the “Straight Back Reference Mark”
when the monitor is installed.
2) Screw monitor onto inlet adapter or Extend-A-Gun RC until threaded joint bottoms out.
• Do not use pipe dope or Loctite on the inlet base threads. These threads are sealed with an o-ring. The use of thread locking
compounds will make removal difficult.
3) Unscrew monitor slightly until a pair of 90 degrees apart slots line up with the 180 degrees apart threaded cross holes in the inlet
adapter or Extend-A-Gun RC.
• Orient monitor so that the Straight Back Reference Mark is facing the desired direction.
• Slots will line up with threaded cross holes every 90 degrees of rotation.
• Monitor may be unscrewed up to one full turn from the bottomed out position.
4) Install ¼-28 by ½ long button head cap screws and washers in the two threaded cross holes.

4.3 NOZZLE CONNECTION
The Hurricane RC monitor outlet thread types are as shown in figure 3.3. The nozzle is simply screwed onto the Hurricane RC monitor's
exit threads. Insure that the nozzle's coupling does not make contact with the elevation drive housing when the monitor is in its highest
elevation position.
For nozzles with electric pattern control, a waterproof connector wire is provided at the bottom outlet of the Hurricane RC's control
station box. This wire attaches directly to TFT's electric Masterstream 1250 nozzle. The electric actuator box of nozzle must be oriented
to the top side of nozzle for the connection wire to extend 90° above horizontal and 45° below elevation movement. (see figure 4.3 and
refer to Sections 5.12 and 6.6.2 for properly attaching female to male connectors). Any other nozzle should have the corresponding
male electrical connector installed and long enough wire to extend of the
nozzle.
90° above horizontal and 45° below elevation movement
DO NOT CUT OFF THE FEMALE CONNECTOR ON THE MONITOR. THIS CONNECTOR IS MOLDED ONTO THE WIRE
AND MUST REMAIN ON TO MAINTAIN THE WATER TIGHTNESS OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.
CAUTION The nozzle threads must match the threads on the Hurricane RC in both size and type.
Mismatched or damaged threads may cause the nozzle to leak or uncouple under pressure and
could cause injury.
CAUTION Do not connect aluminum to brass or brass to aluminum. Dissimilar metals coupled together can
cause galvanic corrosion that will freeze the threaded joint or cause complete loss of thread
engagement. If dissimilar metals must be coupled together, the effects of corrosion can be greatly
delayed by various coatings on the metal such as powder paint, hard anodizing or silicone grease.

4.4 HORIZONTAL ROTATION TRAVEL STOPS
The range of Horizontal (left-right) travel for the Hurricane RC monitor is limited to 450 degrees or 225 degrees from either side of a
nozzle discharge position. Horizontal (left-right) travel stop bolts may be installed in the monitor to limit travel as shown in figure 4.4A and
4.4B. Note that left and right are relative to the “Straight Back Reference Mark” shown in figure 4.4A, and refer to the operator's position
behind the monitor, opposite the nozzle's discharge direction. Also, Figure 4.4A shows the range of travel for the various stop bolt
locations along with installation notes as shown in Figure 4.4B.

5.0 ELECTRICAL CONTROLS INSTALLATION
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 30-foot length of cable for connection to the operator control stations as shown in
Figure 5.0 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 3.2.1 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.
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.
Careful selection of wiring is critical to avoid excessive voltage drop.
Be careful to route cables in a protected area 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.
Disconnect power before installing or servicing the electrical components. The RC monitor control boxes and motors are not rated
as ignition proof, explosion proof, or intrinsically safe.

The electric motors and other components are ignition sources. The electric drives should be
operated only in areas where there is adequate ventilation and no hazard of flammable vapor
buildup.

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.
