Akron Brass Launches Feature-rich Wireless Remote Control for Monitors

The handheld controller offers greater control, flexibility and visibility on the fireground

Wooster, OH — Akron Brass Company, the fire and rescue industry’s
performance leader, launches a new handheld wireless remote controller for municipal electric
monitors. Advanced features and functionality allow the first responder to safely operate electric
monitors and valves from multiple positions around the truck with greater control, flexibility and
visibility on the fireground.

The wireless remote controller can operate one or two monitors up to 300 feet away, maneuvering
all operational positions of the monitor and nozzle plus stow, deploy, oscillation and valve discharge.
The Style 6047 controller can also display both the monitor and valve positions when your monitor is
equipped with position feedback. Customizable features are also available by using your phone or
laptop to adjust items such as monitor speed, LED brightness and power usage. Use the remote to
program and troubleshoot your monitor by simply viewing the LED code readouts (indicator) versus
counting blink codes.

A new ergonomic design with contoured molded rubber grips and a joystick-like control makes it easy
to operate with gloved hands. Also, backward compatible, the remote control works with all standard
Akron Brass electric monitors already in the field.

The new multi-function wireless remote controller is IP66 rated for water-resistant and meets the
recommended NFPA 1901 standard for safely operating electric monitors remotely to prevent the
firefighter from climbing to the top of the truck.

Remote Control.
