Hale VPS Pump Shift Assembly

A Hale VPS (Valve Position Sensor) Pump Shift Assembly is a component designed for use with a Hale fire pump or valve system with an electronic valve position sensor. The pump shift assembly is an essential part of the hydraulic system that controls the shifting of the pump’s transmission, allowing it to switch between gear ratios and thereby adjust the water flow rate.

The primary purpose of the Hale VPS Pump Shift Assembly is to provide a reliable and efficient way to shift the pump’s transmission in response to electronic signals from the VPS sensor. This allows firefighters to adjust the water flow rate precisely, resulting in more efficient and effective firefighting operations.

To ensure the proper functionality and safety of the fire pump or valve system, it is crucial to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines and instructions during the installation or replacement of the pump shift assembly. Regular inspection and maintenance will help prolong the life of the components and ensure they function correctly when needed.

Hale Products has built a reputation for delivering high-quality and reliable firefighting equipment, which is essential in high-pressure, life-threatening situations. Their products are designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern firefighting, ensuring that firefighters have the tools they need to protect lives and property effectively.

Air actuated Hale VPS Pump shift control assembly includes:

1. Controller
2. Label Plate
3. Mounting hardware

The Hale VPS (Valve Position Sensor) Pump Shift Assembly should be replaced if it is damaged, worn out, or if it fails to function properly. Some signs that the pump shift assembly may need replacement include:

1. Failure to shift gears: If the pump shift assembly fails to shift gears in response to electronic signals from the VPS sensor, it may need to be replaced.
2. Leaks: If there are leaks in the hydraulic lines, solenoids, or valves of the pump shift assembly, it may need to be replaced.
3. Electrical issues: If there are electrical issues with the solenoids or other components of the pump shift assembly, such as faulty wiring or connectors, it may need to be replaced.
4. Corrosion or wear: Over time, the components of the pump shift assembly can become corroded, worn, or damaged, which may necessitate replacement to maintain proper functionality.

It is essential to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines and instructions during the replacement of the pump shift assembly to ensure proper functionality and safety of the fire pump or valve system. Regular inspection and maintenance will help identify potential issues before they lead to pump failure or reduced performance.
