Types of Fire Water Monitors Classifications and Features
Fire water monitors are categorized into four main types based on their application scenarios: automatic fire water monitors, manual fire water monitors, electrically controlled fire water monitors, and mobile fire water monitors.
1. Automatic Fire Water Monitor
The Automatic Tracking and Targeting Jet Fire Extinguishing Device (Spray Type) integrates infrared sensing, signal processing, communication control, computer technology, and mechanical transmission to provide 24/7 fire detection within its coverage area. Upon detecting a fire, the system activates immediately, performing intelligent horizontal and vertical scans to pinpoint the fire's location. The central controller then triggers alarms, starts the water pump, opens valves, and directs the monitor to aim at the fire source for targeted water discharge. The system uses high-pressure water jets for long-range, wide-coverage fire suppression. After extinguishing the flames, the monitor stops spraying automatically but resumes operations if new fires are detected, returning to standby mode once all threats are eliminated.
2. Manual Fire Water Monitor
Designed for on-site manual operation, this type is ideal for large, high-risk areas requiring water-based fire suppression. The monitor allows horizontal rotation and vertical tilting for precise targeting. Its reliable locking mechanism ensures stable positioning, enabling firefighters to adjust the spray direction and evacuate safely while maintaining effective fire control.
3. Electrically Controlled Fire Water Monitor
This type combines remote electrical control with manual operation flexibility. Operators can adjust the spray angle, range, and flow rate via a control panel or joystick, making it suitable for hazardous environments where direct human intervention is unsafe. It is commonly used in industrial facilities, ports, and large warehouses.
4. Mobile Fire Water Monitor
The Mobile Fire Monitor is deployed in scenarios where water sources are distant or fire trucks cannot access the site, such as oil tank cooling or remote industrial zones. It features a mobile chassis, adjustable flow rate, long-range coverage, and a modular design comprising a water inlet, rotary body, and nozzle. The spray pattern can be seamlessly switched between direct jet and 90° water mist, enhancing firefighting efficiency and heat reduction. Its compact size and versatility make it a critical tool for fire trucks, oil tankers, and dockyards.
