Fire monitor design and key specifications
FireDos has announced the M1, a compact remote-controlled fire monitor intended for stationary fire protection installations and use on fire trucks.
The company said the unit has dimensions of 470 mm x 255 mm x 360 mm and is designed for installation in confined spaces.
The M1 is electrically driven and uses 24V DC drives.
FireDos stated that the M1 can be operated remotely using the FireDos control system.
The company described two working ranges with extinguishing agent flows of 150 to 1000 l/min or 400 to 2000 l/min.
Nozzle options and stated applications
FireDos described the M1 as being available with several nozzle options to suit different application environments.
The M1 can be equipped with the MPN multi-purpose nozzle or the AMPN Adjustable Multi-Purpose Nozzle.
FireDos stated that with the MPN nozzle, the extinguishing agent flow is adjusted and tested to customer specifications and can switch steplessly between hollow and spray jets.
The company stated that the AMPN allows the extinguishing agent flow to be adjusted continuously during operation, including to respond to spreading fires.
FireDos described an optional configuration where both nozzles are designed as flat jet nozzles that produce a fan-shaped jet and are intended to extinguish large areas more quickly.
The company listed typical applications including stationary fire protection in waste bunkers, recycling plants, ASRS systems and helicopter landing pads.
FireDos also described use as a front monitor on standard fire trucks, including for vegetation fire response using a wide-angle flat jet nozzle.
The M1 is intended to be configured through nozzle selection and operating range to match the installation and response scenario.
