AQUIS ULTRAFLOW Industrial Foam Proportioner System
The AQUIS ULTRAFLOW industrial foam proportioner system supplies concentrate into a solution-capable discharge line. A Tellurus™ touchscreen display, or
human machine interface (HMI), shows system activity, and provides control over the system using a CANbus protocol. Foam concentrate is sourced from an
on-board supply tank or an auxiliary source. The concentrate pump distributes concentrate though the discharge line assembly (DLA) using hydraulic
components, where it is measured, controlled, and introduced into the solution-capable discharge line to produce foam solution. Understand that your application
will include all or portions of the components described.
SubsystemSubsystem DescriptionDescription
1Control system This monitors and controls the foam proportioning system. The components in this subsystem include:
• Tellurus display (HMI)—this displays system operation and provides control of the system.
• Control box—this connects to various components in the system and contains the programmable logic controllers (PLC).
• Manual override switch—this disables the automatic control of the concentrate control valves.
• Power disconnect relay—this power relay enables and disables power to the DLA.
• Remote I/O—this adds a node controller to the system for additional options required in your application.
• Various cables—these provide communication and power to system components.
2 Discharge line assembly This manages the concentrate injected into the solution-capable discharge. The system can control up to 19 DLAs. The
components in this subsystem include:
• Node controller—this connects to, and controls, the concentrate control valve, reads the owmeters and the discharge
pressure transducer.
• Split CANbus cable—this connects the node controllers to one another and the control box.
• DLA terminating resistor—this terminates the CANbus connection on the last node controller or valve in the CANbus
chain.
• Concentrate control valve—this controls the concentrate flow.
• Magnetic flowmeter—this measures the concentrate flow.
• Check valve—this prevents contamination of concentrate by preventing reverse fluid flow in the line.
3Solution-capable discharge This includes the installer-supplied water pump, distribution manifold, plumbing, and additional components that produce
water flow. Additional components in this subsystem include:
• Paddlewheel flowmeter—this measures the amount of water flowing in the discharge. Note: You can install the
paddlewheel flowmeter upstream or downstream of where the concentrate is injected into the waterway.
• Water pump pressure transducer—this measures the pressure at the pump discharge. Note: Some applications prohibit
measuring discharge pressure at the pump, in those applications alternative measurement methods are used.
• Solution discharge pressure transducer—this measures the pressure at the solution capable discharge.

AQUIS ULTRAFLOW Industrial Foam Proportioner System
SubsystemSubsystem DescriptionDescription
4Concentrate pump These components support, control, and power the concentrate pump. The components in this subsystem include:
• Concentrate pump—this circulates the foam concentrate through the system.
• Hydraulic motor—this drives the concentrate pump.
• Hydraulic pump—this drives the hydraulic motor.
• Hydraulic fluid reservoir—this contains the hydraulic fluid supply.
• Hydraulic fluid filter—this filters the hydraulic fluid.
• Hydraulic fluid heat exchanger—this cools the hydraulic fluid.
• Hydraulic fluid temperature sensor—this measures the hydraulic fluid temperature.
• Hydraulic fluid level sensor—this monitors the hydraulic fluid level in the reservoir.
• Pressure transducer—this measures the pressure in the concentrate discharge line.
• Pressure relief valve—this limits the pressure in the concentrate discharge manifold by opening when the pressure
reaches a predetermined level.
5Concentrate supply This contains components that contain or supply foam concentrate for the system. The components in this subsystem
include:
• Concentrate supply tank—this contains the on-board foam concentrate supply.
• Tank-full sensor—this indicates a tank full condition to the system.
• Tank-low sensor—this indicates a tank low condition to the system.
• Tank level sensor—this is an installer supplied sensor and display that indicates the supply level in the tank.
• Concentrate pump intake select valve—this is an installer supplied, 2 position valve, and additional components that
sources concentrate from an on-board tank or an auxiliary supply. A signal is provided to the system to ignore the
on-board tank sensors when sourcing concentrate from an auxiliary supply.
• Concentrate strainer—this collects debris that would otherwise flow through the system and could damage the
concentrate pump.
6 Concentrate supply refill line This allows you to fill the on-board tank from an external source. The components in this subsystem include:
• Node controller—this connects to the fill valve and flowmeters.
• Fill line control valve—this controls the flow of concentrate.
• Magnetic flowmeter—this measures the flow of concentrate.
• Split CANbus cable—this connects the node controllers to one another and the control box.
• Check valve—this prevents reverse fluid flow in the line.

SubsystemSubsystem DescriptionDescription
7Low-flow bypass line This returns a portion of the pumped concentrate in the supply line back to the pump inlet when the desired concentrate
output requires the pump to operate at an RPM that is lower than possible by the pump. The components in this subsystem
include:
• Node controller—this connects to the low-flow control valve, flowmeters.
• Low-flow valve—this controls the concentrate return flow.
• Magnetic flowmeter—this measures the flow of concentrate.
• Split CANbus cable—this connects the node controllers to one another.
8 Transfer line This allows you to transfer or relay concentrate from the apparatus to another location. The components in this subsystem
include:
• Node controller—this connects to and controls the concentrate control valve, flowmeters.
• Split CANbus cable—this connects the node controllers to one another and the control box.
• Concentrate control valve—this controls the concentrate flow.
• Magnetic flowmeter—this measures the concentrate flow.
• Check valve—this prevents reverse fluid flow in the line.
9Priming line This evacuates air from the concentrate pump inlet as the system primes before operation. The components in this
subsystem include:
• Priming valve—this opens to allow air to evacuate the line before operation.
• Split CANbus cable—this connects the node controllers to one another and the control box.
• Prime bypass line—this is an installer-supplied valve that prevents contaminating the concentrate during training. When
water is substituted for concentrate during training or testing, and you have concentrate in the supply tank, this bypass
valve prevents water from contaminating the concentrate supply. Note: You must drain any remaining water in the line
before priming the system with concentrate to prevent contamination.
