Combining modern technology with years of experience, Elkhart’s industrial systems are designed for use in many different types of industrial settings, including: refineries, chemical plants, loading docks, tanker berthings, railroad yards, offshore platforms, etc.
A complete Elkhart Brass industrial fire suppression system is composed of hardware (water cannon or monitor, nozzle, valve, etc.), electrical capabilities (control system, wiring, etc.), programming, and integration of the hardware and software within the facility. Elkhart customizes all aspects of their approach to deliver an industrial system suited to your needs.
Having mdi handle all aspects of your Elkhart Industrial System means your project goes in on schedule, on budget and performs as expected.
Electric Remote Controlled Monitor systems are
pre-engineered systems specifically designed for
hazardous location Class I, Division or Zone 2
environments.
Each ERCM includes: monitor / water cannon (85
brass), master stream nozzle (brass*), monitor
junction box (stainless steel), monitor motor control
panel (stainless steel), and an operator control
panel (stainless steel).
HRCM:
Hydraulic Remote Controlled Monitor systems are
pre-engineered systems specifically designed for
hazardous location Class I, Division 1 environments.
Each HRCM includes: monitor / water cannon (85
brass or SS), master stream nozzle (brass), valve &
pump box (NEMA 7/4 cast aluminum) with spool
assembly (welded steel riser pipe), and operator
control panel (NEMA 7/4 or NEMA 4X).

When a fire strikes, seconds count
Prompt response can mean the difference between a minor inconvenience and a six-month plant shut-down.
Instantaneous control needs to be in reach, but well out of harm's way.
The Elkhart Brass advanced electronic controls provide prompt and dependable control of potential crisis situations.
That's just one reason why the biggest names in industry protect their physical investments with Elkhart's electronic remote controlled monitor systemss(ERCMs).
They also know that Elkhart has the experience and capabilities to do the entire job right - right from the start and all the way through final installation and service.
Benefits of Elkhart Brass
Leveraging Elkhart Brass’ know-how in the industrial system arena gives you a hassle-free experience.
Elkhart Brass brings all project aspects, from design to manufacturing through programming and support, “under one roof” — assuring your project will:
Maintain project integrity through consistent management
Achieve more focused cost control
Realize on-time delivery and installation
Elkhart Brass utilizes proven modular components — including products certified by CE, U.L. listed, and/or FM approved
— to build systems tailored to your specific requirements.
The Elkhart Brass solution guarantees you receive:
Maximum performance
Maximum reliability
Minimized costs
With Elkhart Brass systems, the instant the system is needed for fire protection or actual firefighting,
the “hardware” (monitors, nozzles, valves, etc.) can be activated from a remote location where the operator can:
turn on the water supply, direct monitors vertically or horizontally, and change the stream pattern of the nozzle — all from a safe distance.
Some standard safety options include:
An option that allows the monitor to oscillate automatically, freeing the operator to tend other duties
An option for one or more pre-set automatic oscillation arcs for coverage of highest risk areas
The option of a secondary control station at another remote location (several monitors can be operated from one control station)
Benefits of Electric Monitors
Electronic monitors offer more control options while maintaining a similar price point to hydraulic monitors.
Additionally, with electronic monitors, the controls themselves are fully integrated into the system.
Some of the highlights of an electric monitor system include:
Less costly to install than hydraulic or water-powered monitors
Less maintenance than hydraulic or water-powered monitors through the use of industrial hardened electronics
○ IP68 industrial, over-molded, quick-connect motor cables are fast, error-free, and rugged
Less complicated interface to modern operator controls
Benefits of Network Communications
Network communications are adaptable to changing needs while being cost-effective.
Due to the cable type/size/conduit, cost savings in the installation phase
Allows advanced two-way communications
As needs change, the system easily accommodates expansion
Easier to build-in safety redundancy and reliability through back-up communications
