Can I have a mix of manual valves and electric on my truck with the SAM system?
Nope. The SAM system is only available with all electric valves. A mixed system is not available.
-
Can I retrofit the system to an existing truck?
Unfortunately, no. The system is not retrofittable at this time.
-
How do I perform my annual pump test?
SAM has a manual mode that allows the operator to control the valves directly and includes the standard pressure governor functions so pump testing can be done exactly as it has been in the past.
-
Do I need to have multiplexing on my truck?
Although we recommend it, multiplexing is not required for SAM.
-
Can I operate SAM from any of my multiplexing trucks?
Unfortunately you can’t. SAM is a closed network that includes only the parts required to control your water flow on the truck – intakes, discharges, tank and pump. It cannot be connected to other multiplexing screens.

Is this system compatible with Captium?
The system is on a J1939 bus so Captium will be able to capture SAM parameters and display on the Captium dashboard once integration is complete with the Captium system.
-
If I have multiple control centers on the truck, which one is the master?
Each control center and tablet are equal inputs to the system. When an operator sends an input to the system it is reflected on all available control centers and tablets.
-
Can I lock out the control centers on the truck when I am using the tablet?
There is no option to lock out the control center during tablet use. If an operator is making changes to the system at the tablet it will be seen at the other control centers on the truck.
