The intelli-tank air level display illuminates to show the air-remaining
level in the cylinders. (See Figure 2-3: “CAFSAttack Operator Control
Panel,” on page 21.)
Note: The air level indicator lights are an accumulation of both cylinders. See
separate manual, located at the back of this manual, for additional information.
IMPORTANT !
KEEP IN MIND THAT THERE IS A SMART-SWITCH CONTROLLER FOR EACH
AIR CYLINDER. THEREFORE BOTH NEED TO BE ADJUSTED, ALTHOUGH
THEY CAN BE ADJUSTED DIFFERENTLY FOR INDIVIDUAL CAFS RESULTS.
FOR EXAMPLE, ONE COULD BE SET TO DISCHARGE A
“WET” QUICK
DRAINING FOAM BLANKET; WHILE THE OTHER COULD DISCHARGE
A “DRY,” SHAVING CREAM-LIKE, FOAM FOR EXPOSURE
PROTECTION.
4.
Set the air bottle valve Handle to the OPEN (I) position. Also see Figure
2-3: “CAFSAttack Operator Control Panel” on page 21.
5.
Press and release the desired foam consistency button - either WET or
DRY.
❑
The selected button LED flashes.
❑
The valve position bar graph indicator LEDs illuminate to indicate the
relative position of the discharge valve (the less bars illuminated indi-
cates a DRYER consistency; to more bars, a WETTER consistency).
❑
The FoamLogix display controller is activated in preparation to flow
foam when water flow is detected.
6.
Begin discharging CAFS in accordance with departmental or locality
regulations.
CAUTION !
COLD WEATHER ENVIRONMENTS (TEMPERATURES AT OR NEAR 32° F
(0° C) CAN CAUSE SOME SYSTEM COMPONENTS TO FREEZE AND
RESTRICT AIR FLOW. COMPONENTS MUST BE THAWED BEFORE CON-
TINUING CAFS OPERATION.
