DIGITAL IN-LINE GAUGE/TOOLS 36

Question 1

Digital in line gauge..

Answer 1

DOES NOT regulate water flow, but monitors pressure and flow

Question 2

RED LED readout in PRESSURE (PSI)

Answer 2

BLUE LED READOUT IN WATER FLOW (GPM)
-rechargeable lithium ion 9 volt battery (5 hours of operation)
-sleep mode and auto shutoff
-low battery warning 
45 degree elbow 
-carrying case

Question 3

gauge should not be reconnected to hose length .

Answer 3

press GREEN on/off button..four dashes will appear under PRESSURE and “r3.00” under FLOW/digital readout should show “O” pressure and flow

Question 4

if pressure reading is normal or higher and FLOW IS REDUCED, suspect.?

Answer 4

KINKS

Question 5

if pressure reading is normal or lower and FLOW IS INCREASED…suspect

Answer 5

BURST LENGTH

Question 6

if digital gauge fails to display , make ANOTHER ATTEMPT TO TURN ON..

Answer 6

IF THIS ATTEMP FAILS, control ff should verify with officer that proper pressure and flow is being received

**hoseline ops CAN CONTINUE”

-3 lengths - 70
4 lengths -80
flow - 225-250 (RESIDUAL PRESSURE, NOZZLE OPEN WATER FLOWING)

-STATIC PRESSURE is not an indicator of sufficient pressure )

Question 7

When pressure exceeds 200 PSI..

Answer 7

-red digital readout flash high pressure alert –‘HI-P”

-

Question 8

WATER FLOW EXCEEDS 250 GPM..

Answer 8

-blue readout “HI-F”/HIGH FLOW

Question 9

LOW FLOW..LESS THAN 80 GPM..

Answer 9

BLUE READOUT/”LO-F

Question 10

SLEEP MODE..

Answer 10

15 minutes of no water flow..once water flows, digital display will reactivate

no water flow after 30 minutes , digital display will POWER OFF AUTOMATICALLY, if ops are to resume, manually press start button for 4/5 seconds to turn digital display back on

Question 11

special rechargeable battery / 9 volt lithium ion…

Answer 11

NOT OTHER 9 VOLT MAY BE USED 
4 BATTERIES :
-1 in digital gauge
-1 in clear batter pouch
2 in charger unit at quarters

Question 12

FULLY CHARGED battery will supply 5 hours of continuous use..

Answer 12

after 3.5 hours/”LO-BATT”–90 MINUTES REMAIN (Swap out after operation)–slow flash

rapid flash–10 minutes remaining (swap out while water is flowing)
-batter test feature (left red button) “BATT GOOD” will display (every tour )

-batteries rotated and recharged WEEKLY and after each use (two in, two out–rotate with charging unit)

-steady red-charging
steady green -fully charged
blinking red-defective/replaced

-RT -2/ FIRE TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT
