MACHANICAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
A. MECHANICAL MONITOR ATTACHMENT
The Monitor is to be mounted on the waterway with a 2" OR 21⁄2" NPT thread. The front of the monitor is shown in
Figure 4. The 21⁄2" NPT inlet will have a Logo etched on the front. The 2" NPT Inlet will have the Latch Pin Hole facing
the front .
B. THE ROTATIONAL AND ELEVATION STOPS SET THE BOUNDARIES FOR THE AREA IN WHICH THE MONITOR IS
ALLOWED TO TRAVEL. The monitor is shipped with rotation stops at 90˚ right, and at 90˚ left. All other positions are
achieved by switching the factory set stop and the plug in the desired stop location. Both the stops and the plugs have
a 1/2 inch hex head. Refer to Figure 4 to determine which stop location is needed for the desired rotation. The elevation
stop sets the upper limit of the elevation. The monitor is shipped with elevation stops at 90° above horizontal and 45˚
below horizontal to meet NFPA. All other vertical positions are achieved by switching plugs and stops to the desired
locations as indicated in Figure 4 .

The FireFox is designed for a quick disconnect inlet. If equipped with a quick disconnect inlet, first mount the inlet on the
2" NPT piping. Make sure the latch pin on the inlet is facing towards the front (see figure 4). Place the monitor into the
inlet so the two guide pins line up with the groove. Slide the monitor all the way in and rotate 15° clockwise until the latch
pin locks in place. To remove the monitor, pull the latch pin, rotate the monitor 15° counterclockwise, and lift the monitor
out of the inlet .
WARNING: Make sure the monitor is in locked in place before flowing water. The latch pin must be flush
!
with the housing .
E. MANUAL OVERRIDE CONTROLS
THE MANUAL OVERRIDE CONTROL IS TO BE USED WHEN THE POWER TO THE MONITOR IS OFF. A 1/4 inch Allen
wrench will actuate the overrides. To use the manual override insert the hex head end of the override crank in the hexagon shaped
hole. Then rotate or spin the override crank either clockwise or counterclockwise to aim the monitor in the
desired direction .
WHEN THE OVERRIDE CRANKS ARE NO LONGER IN USE PUT THEM BACK IN THE STORAGE POSITION. DO NOT
USE THE ELECTRIC CONTROLS WHEN THE OVERRIDE CRANKS ARE BEING USED OR ARE IN POSITION FOR USE.
