What is the safe operating angle for portable monitors during firefighting?

The safe operating angle for portable monitors during firefighting is 35 degrees. This specific angle is established to ensure that the monitor remains stable and effective while in operation. At this angle, the force of the water flow is managed effectively, allowing for better control of the monitor and reducing the risk of tipping or losing operational efficiency.

Operating the monitor at this angle ensures that it can handle the pressures that come with water flow while still providing adequate coverage of the area being sprayed. This includes ensuring that the stream is directed towards the target effectively without compromising the operator's safety or risking damage to the equipment.

In contrast, angles that are too steep may lead to instability, while angles that are too shallow could diminish the effectiveness of the water stream. Thus, the 35-degree angle strikes a balance that maximizes both safety and firefighting efficacy.
