ECHO (ERCM):
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).
CUSTOM:
Custom systems are designed and engineered for
your specific hazardous location application. This
could include anything from gas mitigation to mining
operations to marine & saltwater applications.
Custom systems allow the user to specify how many
monitors per system, the environmental rating,
material, actuation type, communication type, etc.

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
