1 Safety
Before attempting to operate or install the PyroLance unit, read
all of these safety precautions and follow carefully.
An ultra-high pressure fire pump system is inherently powerful and potentially hazardous equipment; however,
with the proper care and understanding of the instructions, such firefighting units can be operated effectively
and safely.
A PyroLance firefighting unit must only be operated by qualified personnel who have completely
read and understood this PyroLance Manual.
This manual is intended to reinforce and review safety techniques. It is recommended that qualified users
complete extensive firefighting exercises prior to placing a unit in service and practice refresher exercises on
an annual basis.
It is strongly recommended that this entire instruction manual be reviewed in depth before operating or
maintaining this equipment. Service work should only be performed by individuals who have read and
completely understood the operations manual.
2. Always wear full personal protective equipment (PPE) for nozzle operator
4. Observe a minimum of 15 feet (4600 mm) safety radius around the nozzle operator
6. Always ensure pressure vessel cap is de-pressurized prior to removing the cap for filling
or service work
9. Follow this Instruction Manual regarding winterization, draining, and protection of the
hoses, pump, and entire plumbing system when exposed to temperatures under 32
degrees F / 0 degrees C
11. Do not operate equipment unless operator has read this installation and operation
manual!

6 Transmitter Programming
Receiver Set-up
The unit is shipped from the factory with SEL1 switches in the open positions and the unit is receiving
commands on Address 1/Frequency 1. If you wish to change these default settings, follow the
instructions in the table below.
It is highly recommended that you use all available frequencies BEFORE changing the
digital address of systems. For instance, the first system pairing would be left at the
default of F1/ A1. The next pairing would be F2/A1. Then continue as follows: F3/A1;
F4/A1; F5/A1; F6/A1; F7/A1; F8/A1 (now all frequencies for Address 1 have been
exhausted). The next pairing would be set as F1/A2, then F2/A2; F3/A2; F4/A2; F5/A2;
F6/A2; F7/A2; F8/A2. Then F1/A3; F2/A3; F3/A3, etc.

Transmitter Programming
Pairing Procedure
The pairing procedure begins by matching the transmitter frequency to the receiver which will be
followed IMMEDIATELY by linking the remote to the receiver, so be sure to have them both readily
available.
Note: The Lance/Blitz trigger will be squeezed and released to set up the frequency. Each squeeze and
release of the trigger will increment the frequency by one. The initial squeeze and release as performed
in Step 2 below counts as the first increment and will set the frequency to #1.
Step 1. Select the Lance to be paired and remove one of the AA batteries from the transmitter battery
pack.
Step 2. Squeeze the trigger and while holding in, replace the AA battery in the battery pack. The
Power/TX LED will illuminate solid RED. Release the trigger to set to Frequency 1, or, within two seconds,
stay in programming mode by squeezing and releasing the trigger the number of times equal to the
frequency you are choosing. So the second squeeze and release takes the transmitter to Frequency #2,
the third squeeze and release sets its Frequency to #3, and so on. You will use the TX LED to confirm
your setting. After you squeeze and release the number of times you wish the frequency to be set to,
observe the LED. It will blink RED or GREEN up to four times depending on the frequency chosen. See
table below for clarification:

5) Operator #2 will take a firm and stable stance before pulling the
water trigger.
a) To penetrate the target, pull the water trigger and activate
the abrasive switch.
b) This will activate the power unit and send high-pressure
water and abrasive to the Lance nozzle.
c) Please note: It will take several seconds for the abrasive to
travel the length of the hose and begin penetrating the
targeted object.
Safety Trigger Engaged
d) Penetration time will be minimized if the Lance nozzle tip
is held steady.
6) After the target object has been penetrated, de-activate the
abrasive switch while continuing to depress the water trigger.
The target has been penetrated when the external spray stops.
7) The duration of water flow into the fire will vary and is
determined by many factors such as:
a) Type and size of the fire
b) Enclosure size.
The decision to stop water flow can be based on an internal Safety Trigger Disengaged
temperature reading (if thermal imaging equipment is available)
or other established practices.
8) Releasing the water trigger will cause the power unit to go back
to idle.
