HAND MONITORS

Hand Monitors are chosen for their simplicity and cost effectiveness. Lever operated, hand control monitors are ideal for protecting risks where the monitor angle and trajectory can be adjusted and locked before use. Once in operation, manoeuvring the steering arm (handle) can be hard – as the reaction forces created by the jet, particularly at operating pressures over 7 bar can make the load on the handle difficult for a single operator to manage. For this reason a counter weight is often fitted to manual monitors to help balance the load of the reaction forces, particularly when a foam cannon is fitted.

Hand monitors offered by Angus Fire are:

HM80
LMB40
MM1

Flow rates and sizes can be found in the individual datasheets along with the options on jet spray nozzles and foam cannons.

GEARED MONITORS

Geared monitors are used for a number of applications, and in particular for trailer mounting. The gears make the horizontal and vertical movement of the monitor easy to change. Geared monitors are therefore ideal for protecting a variety of small, high risk areas in a terminal at different heights and distances (small fuel storage tanks and bunds for example). In fixed monitor applications, geared monitors can be used on risks demanding high application rates of water or foam. As the geared hand wheels make it easy to control the monitor precisely.

Geared monitors offered by Angus Fire are:

GMB48
GMB50
GMB75
GMB85
GMS45
FWM

Flow rates and sizes can be found in the individual datasheets along with the options on jet spray nozzles and foam cannons.

OSCILLATING MONITORS

Oscillating monitors are often found protecting the most hazardous area of a site or platform. They can be turned on remotely via a water valve allowing the user to remain at a safe distance. The automated sweeping action enables the monitor to cover a wide risk area. Angus Oscillating monitors are supplied with a permanent pelton wheel water driven motor, which provides the power for the horizontal oscillation movement. No outside power source is needed.

Oscillating monitors offered by Angus Fire are:

OM80
OMB40

The Angus OM80 is a nominal 80mm waterway Oscillating Monitor, designed to provide optimised hydraulic efficiency and long throw performance when the Angus Long Throw (LTN) nozzles or (LTC) cannons are fitted. The compact low profile configuration, makes this monitor particularly suitable for installation on towers, aircraft hangars, offshore platforms for helideck protection and other areas where space is limited.

The OM80 is engineered to the highest standards to withstand severe environmental conditions and provide exceptional operational reliability, long life and extremely low maintenance.

NOZZLE OPTIONS

Fog/Jet Nozzles

The FJ and LTN ranges of fog/jet nozzles are a simple and reliable design.  The FJ series is fitted with a rotating sleeve which allows the water or foam stream to be adjusted manually from straight jet to wide fog pattern. Both style of nozzles can be used across the range of Angus portable and fixed monitors.

The FJH series is available with a hydraulic cylinder for remote operation using either hydraulic or electric (solenoid) pressure.

CANNON OPTIONS

Standard Cannons

The FC range of stainless steel aspirating foam cannons are all based on a simple and reliable design developed over 10 years of operating experience. The unique design of the body forces the foam/water pre-mix through a series of orifices breaking up the flow and providing a large surface area for aspiration.

Self Inducing Cannons

The FCS range of stainless steel aspirating foam cannons are all based on a simple and reliable design developed over 10 years of operating experience. The unique design of the body forces the foam/water pre-mix through a series of orifices breaking up the flow and providing a large surface area for aspiration.

All standard and self inducing cannons can be fitted with optional foam spreaders manufactured from 316SS.
