CONTROLS INTERFACE FOR FiFi VESSELS FEATURES JETfighter enables the integration of the vessel’s FiFi system and the MECS JETfighter vessel controls. Two common FiFi arrangments on a waterjet vessel are: • Engines drive either a fire pump or a waterjet (Non-Shared) • Engines simultaneously drive a fire pump and waterjet (Shared) CAPABILITY: The MECS JETfighter-FiFi Interface has been designed for operation with 1 to 5 waterjet installations. The main engine can be used for two purposes, to drive a fire pump and also power the waterjet - the JETfighter system allows you to achieve this capability on all fireboats with HamiltonJet MECS controls. OPERATIONAL BENEFITS: • Allows for firefighting and manoeuvring from the same engine. • Provides a priming mode to allow for fire pump engagement. • Provides safe main engine RPM control to the firefighter at the firefighting position. • The helmsman remains in control of the vessel propulsion. • Provides a one-touch button to return to idle for safety. • Allows for immediate and safe restoration of propulsion controls if or when required. • Monitors and manages the fire pump clutch and 2 speed gearbox, where used. • Provides pump-station functionality (vessel alongside used for pressure controlled fire pump). • The JETfighter interface is totally integrated with and exclusive to the HamiltonJet MECS control system. SCOPE OF SUPPLY: • A fire pump throttle. • Upgraded MECS software for control of the JETfighter fire-fighting system. • An interface module for the fire pump throttle. • An upgraded engine control module (ECM) with MECS fire fighting ca
