CONTROL SYSTEM
Ansul Holland uses the most flexible, safest and most reliable control system for monitors in the global marketplace.

After having used conventional electric and PLC configurations, we have develop this system some years ago.

This microprocessor based control system has now proven to be the most reliable and flexible system available

The system consists of a compact operator control panel with joystick and pusbuttons to control all functions, a digital display for showing additional information, a main control box, junction box and the electrical motors and/or actuators. The system is made of water proof components and can be used for all currencies. All items in hazarduous zone can be explosion proof according to EXE or EXD or ATEX. Valuable features are position indication, lock-out key, flexible adjustment of limits, safety-key protection and integrated control of pums and valves. Among the many optional possibilities are interaction with other control systems and wire-less radiographic controls

FiFi Requirements :
FiFi-1 notation needs minimum 2 monitors with each a capacity of 1200 m3/h, throwlength 120 mtr and heigth of 45 mtr.

FiFi-2 notation needs 2, 3 or 4 monitors depending on their water capacity. Total capacity at least 7200 m3/h, throwlength 150 mtr and heigth 70 mtr.

FiFi-3 notation needs 3 or 4 monitors having a total capacity over 9600 m3/h with same throw as FiFi-2.

FiFi-1/2 is non-notational and would have typically 2 monitors with each 600 m3/h, throwlength 100 mtr and height 45 mtr.
