• Information is looped from the pump to the nozzle
• The Smart Nozzle charges the hose line and adjusts the valve position to assure that the rated pressure and flow is available at the end of the hose.
• The water tank level and status of the water supply are shown on the nozzle, giving nozzle operators the information that they need without tying up precious communication lines.
• The SAM System continues to operate and provide consistent pressure at the valve even if wireless transmission is interrupted.
• SAM System discharges are controlled from the SAM System control screen, allowing pressures to be adjusted automatically or manually at the valve.
• The traditional bail handle continues to serve as the water open/close at the nozzle, and nozzle adjustments for stream and flow rate (if so equipped) function as they do today.
• With the SAM Smart Nozzle installed, the pump operator will be able to see valve pressure, rated nozzle pressure, actual nozzle pressure, hose/friction loss, battery life and signal strength for each discharge.

Technical

• The wireless, battery-operated Smart Control Console is an integrated unit mounted to the inlet of TurbojetTM, Assault, and Smoothbore Akron Brass nozzles.
• Operating pressure can be 50, 75, or 100 psi, depending upon the nozzle and customer requirements.
• The system uses spread-spectrum technology for communications and a low power draw.
• Range of operation: The SAM Smart Nozzle technology will compensate for advancing the line up to five floors above the pumper or two floors below grade (beyond the typical 300-foot pre-connect deployment).
• The SAM Smart Nozzle is designed and tested for use on pre-connected hand lines up to 300 feet long.

Communication Components

• Truck-Installed Radio and Antenna
• Akron Brass Handline Nozzle with wireless SAM Smart Nozzle Control Console
• Smart Panel Console

The SAM Smart Nozzle with N2P Technology is an option on all new and existing SAM Integrated Total Water Control Systems.

System Requirements

The system requires the following components to be specified with the truck:

• Akron Brass Electric Valves and pressure transducers
• Class 1 ITL-40 tank level
• Hale SPV primer
• Hale electric MIV(s)

Optional items:

• Akron Brass Navigator electric valve controllers (can be used as redundant controllers, but not required)
• Class 1 SmartFoam or SmartCAFS
• Additional SAM Control Center (Up to two additional)
