SAM™ SMART NOZZLE N2P INSTALLATION, OPERATING, AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS ▪ Using any battery other than Akron Brass P/N 803435 can potentially damage your SAM™ SMART NOZZLE. Failure to do this increases the chance of fire and will void your warranty. 7. INTEGRATED PRESSURE TRANSDUCER Unique to the SAM™ SMART NOZZLE is an integrated pressure transducer. The transducer is used to feed the nozzle inlet pressure (nozzle calibration pressure) back to the SAM™ truck on a continuous closed loop setup.
SAM™ SMART NOZZLE N2P INSTALLATION, OPERATING, AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS process. Upon detecting the SAM™ SMART NOZZLE radio in the truck the SAM™ SMART NOZZLE will begin the process of synchronization between the two devices. The LEDs on the SAM™ SMART NOZZLE will toggle while displaying the color green as shown below. At the completion of the sync process the LEDs will display a successful sync or a failed sync attempt.
SAM™ SMART NOZZLE N2P INSTALLATION, OPERATING, AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS If for any reason a SAM™ SMART NOZZLE that has been sync’d with the SAM™ truck cannot locate the truck radio, the LED display of the SAM™ SMART NOZZLE will indicate as shown below in a red, yellow, green sequence. 9. PAIRING THE SAM™ SMART NOZZLE TO A DISCHARGE VALVE The truck pump must be in the disengaged mode (road mode) to pair the SAM™ SMART NOZZLE with a discharge valve on the SAM™ truck.
SAM™ SMART NOZZLE N2P INSTALLATION, OPERATING, AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS When ready to pair the SAM™ SMART NOZZLE with a discharge valve, SIMULTANEOUSLY press and hold the two function buttons located on either side of the SAM™ SMART NOZZLE module for a minimum time of 2 seconds. Release after the 2 second period. The LED display on the SAM™ SMART NOZZLE will illuminate in a blue wig-wag sequence as shown below indicating the signal to pair with a valve has occurred. Now, look at the SAM UV1100 display.
SAM™ SMART NOZZLE N2P INSTALLATION, OPERATING, AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS At the completion of the pairing process, the LEDs will display a successful pair or a failed pair attempt, as shown below. Two blue flashing LEDs denote a successful pair process and the SAM™ SMART NOZZLE is now paired with a specific discharge valve on the SAM™ truck. Navigate back to the home screen on the UV1100 display to end the pairing process. Two red flashing LEDs denote a failed pair process.
SAM™ SMART NOZZLE N2P INSTALLATION, OPERATING, AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS 10. UN-PAIRING THE SAM™ SMART NOZZLE FROM A DISCHARGE VALVE The truck pump must be in the disengaged mode (road mode) to unpair the SAM™ SMART NOZZLE from a discharge valve on the SAM™ truck. Failure to do so may cause unintentional activation of discharge valves on the truck. Unpairing a SAM™ SMART NOZZLE from a discharge on the SAM™ truck is a password protected process.
SAM™ SMART NOZZLE N2P INSTALLATION, OPERATING, AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS Upon seeing that the SAM nozzle has successfully unpaired, press the “SEND BAM” button at the bottom of the pairing screen on the UV1100. A pop-up window will appear, asking if you wish to continue. Click the check mark button to proceed. The UV1100 will reboot. 11. CHARGING THE HOSE FROM THE SAM™ SMART NOZZLE A paired valve with the SAM™ SMART NOZZLE can only be activated in pump mode.
SAM™ SMART NOZZLE N2P INSTALLATION, OPERATING, AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS 12. LOSS OF SIGNAL The SAM™ SMART NOZZLE uses a wireless communication method to remain in contact with the SAM™ system on the truck. If for any reason that communication is lost while in pump mode, the LED display on the SAM™ SMART NOZZLE is designed to turn off (go dark) as shown below.
SAM™ SMART NOZZLE N2P INSTALLATION, OPERATING, AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS 13. TANK LEVEL INDICATION AND PERMANENT WATER SUPPLY (HYDRANT) Tank level indication on the SAM™ SMART NOZZLE are visible only when the pump is engaged (pump mode). The SAM™ SMART NOZZLE LED display provides information on the amount of water in the tank on the truck. This is done via wireless communication between the SAM™ SMART NOZZLE and the SAM™ truck. Below are the colors and levels for various tank conditions.
SAM™ SMART NOZZLE N2P INSTALLATION, OPERATING, AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS 14.
