B 7 Section 2 Deploying the Bambi MAX Deployment Instructions Connecting Power The power requirement to control the Bambi MAX valve is 5 amps 24 28 VDC The Bambi MAX comes with a three conductor 16 gauge control cable that comes from the valve to 3 above the head Attached to the end of the cable is a male waterproof Nema 5 15 electrical plug the female receptacle for the helicopter is attached If desired the operator may replace these plugs to match the receptacles installed on their aircraft If a longline is to be used the replacement plug at the head should be waterproof The purpose of this type of plug is to offer a clean breakaway if the Bambi MAX has to be jettisoned from the aircraft in an emergency It is suggested that the plug be lightly taped together with vinyl tape while in use to ensure that wind action does not separate the plug during flight There are three types of suggested wiring installations see Appendix for diagrams 1 Pilot control In this configuration the control is wired into the pilot s control column through a relay 2 Pilot control US interagency In this configuration the control is wired into the pilot s control column through a 50 amp relay as per US interagency regulations This system can also be used to control a heli torch etc 3 Crew control remote power supply This configuration allows a crew member or a pilot to control the dumping of the bucket using a battery pack to su

We Engineer Solutions 2013 Bambi MAX Service Manual Models 1518 3542 Version B 14 sb E Section 3 Using Accessories Using the PowerFill System There are a few key points to keep in mind To initiate a fill the pump impeller must be immersed It may not be possible to fill from water sources less than 15 40cm deep Opening the valve while immersing the bucket allows the water to enter the bucket keeping the bucket more stable and decreasing the filling time Once a fill has been started the bucket will need to be supported by maintaining some tension on the suspension lines particularly when the bucket is nearly full If the bucket is not supported the flexible nature of the bucket shell may allow it to collapse to one side as the water load increases Frothing of the water or slow fill rate indicates the pump is not submerged for enough to maintain prime The further the bottom of the bucket can be lowered into the water source the faster the bucket will fill It is recommended that the pump not be run when a conventional dip fill is possible Do not run the pump if it is submerged to a depth of 10 feet 3 m or more Do not submerge the bucket to a depth of more than 20 feet 6 1 m when performing conventional dip fills pump off in deep water sources The filter screen is designed to filter out objects large enough to damage the pump impeller and to prevent weeds and debris from clogging the pump i
