Elkhart Brass’ Scorpion EXM is the second monitor to incorporate the EXM operating system. Designed for fire apparatus, AARF, military, and de-icing vehicles, the Scorpion EXM is a high-tech, high-flow remote controlled water cannon that can be integrated with other truck systems. The monitor can deliver flows to 3,000 gpm and offers NEMA 6 (full submersion) sealed electronics. Scorpion EXM allows for wired or wireless communication via panel-mount or handheld controller, joystick, or OEM-sourced controller or switches. It is CAN bus J1939 and PLC compatible. In addition to the EXM functionality, the Scorpion has been further updated to employ a new ultra high efficient waterway and axially aligned thrust bearings for a 22 percent increase in flow efficiency. www.elkhartbrass.com, 800-346-0250
