New Remote Control Firefighting Monitors
01 Oct 2007
Tyco Safety Products Fire Suppression Group has unveiled its new generation of SKUM brand remotely controllable FJM-EL fog / jet firefighting monitors for use on firefighting boats, multi-role pilot boats, tugs, workboats and merchant shipping. Pronounced 'skoom', SKUM is the Swedish word for foam.
The new FJM-EL monitors are powerful additions to the established SKUM FJM range. All three new model the FJM-100 EL, the FJM-150 EL, and the FJM-200 EL, offer exceptional flow performance, incorporate electric motor driven elevation and rotation and solenoid valve operated fog / jet pattern adjustment. They offer remote control operation as fix-mounted monitors designed for the safe delivery of foam or water, either as a solid jet or a fog pattern.
The FJM-100 EL, with the built in inductor option, delivers up to 6,000 litres of water a minute to a maximum jet throw of 80m, while the FJM-150 EL increases this to 11,700 litres a minute to a distance just short of 90m. The top performing FJM-200 EL increases the reach to 120m and the flow to 2,000 litres a minute. The foam capacity for each of the models is 340 litres a minute, 585 litres a minute and 600 litres a minute respectively.
The lightweight and compact balanced design monitors all incorporate an electrical junction box, low friction bearings for easy manoeuvrability, and feature saltwater corrosion resistant construction, which makes a major contribution to the monitors’ reliability, while minimising the maintenance requirement. All include a manual override option. Other optional components include a control and operating panel, which can be either the standard FJM model or be custom built, suction hose and valve, and explosion protected EEx (e) and flameproof EEx (de) electrical equipment.
