OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Normal Operation
The Scorpion monitors use the standard Left/Right, Up/Down, and Fog/Stream commands to provide
stream direction and pattern adjustments.
 To move the monitor left or right, press and hold the LEFT or RIGHT button until the monitor
discharge is in the correct position, or a mechanical stop is reached.
 To move the monitor up or down, press and hold the UP or DOWN button until the monitor
discharge is in the correct position, or a mechanical stop is reached.
 To adjust the stream pattern, press and hold the FOG or STREAM button until the desired stream
pattern is reached.
Any combination of left or right, fog or stream, and up or down can be used to achieve motion
horizontal, vertical, or nozzle commands simultaneously. If the LEFT and RIGHT buttons are pressed at
the same time, the monitor will stop all motion. To continue motion, release both buttons and repress
the desired direction button. This is also true for the up/down and fog/stream commands.
The handheld remote transmitter has a power saving feature that turns the transmitter power off if no
signal is sent for 5 minutes. Press and hold the “ON/OFF” button until the Power LED illuminates to
reactivate the transmitter. The “Low Battery” LED will flash slowly when the battery voltage drops below
a predetermined level. When the low battery LED flashes rapidly, the batteries are nearly discharged
and should be replaced immediately.
NOTE: The SM-1250E, SM-1250BE, SM-2000E and SM-2000BE nozzles have a unique ball screw
drive that allows motor to “free wheel” at the end of pattern travel in either the straight stream or wide
fog positions. No slip clutch or current limiting feature is used with these nozzle drives.
Oscillation Function
The 8294-06, 8294-06 EXT, and 8394-07 monitors have an automatic left/right oscillation function,
which can be used to provide continuous exposure protection with no operator input. The oscillation
limits are set using the handheld or truck mount RF transmitters.
 Position the monitor at either the left or the right limit of oscillation.
 Press and hold the OSCILLATE button.
 Move the monitor to the other limit of oscillation.
 Release the OSCILLATE button.
 Press and release the OSCILLATE button to engage the oscillation function.
 The monitor will oscillate between the limits until the oscillation button is pressed again. Pressing
the left or right button on one of the controllers will also stop the oscillation.
For safety reasons, once oscillation has stopped the oscillation limits need to be reprogrammed before
it can be re-engaged. The nozzle fog, stream, and discharge elevation functions can be operated
while the monitor is oscillating.
