The Chemguard Water Powered Oscillating Monitor Station is a self-contained unit that relies only on water flow and pressure to place the system into operation. It is designed to be installed in an aircraft hangar for under-wing protection. It has a tank capacity from 100–300 gallons of foam concentration, oscillating monitor and a 500 gpm self-educting nozzle. All that is required to place the unit in operation is to fill the foam concentrate storage tank with the correct type and quantity of foam concentrate and connect a suitable water source to the inlet.
If the unit is to be used with any of the AR-AFFF type foam concentrates, it is recommended that a thin layer of mineral oil be placed on the surface of the concentrate to minimize evaporation.
Each unit can be ordered with a pre-piped 100% reserve capacity to meet the requirements of NFPA 409 – Standard on Aircraft Hangars.
