If the hand lance becomes unresponsive, Cobra can still be operated in override mode from the pump panel. This function is designed for rare but critical situations where continued use is required despite a technical issue.
Override bypasses the normal safety functions, which means clear team roles, constant supervision of the lance, and strict procedures are essential. Training and structured practice ensure that crews are prepared if override ever needs to be used in the field.
Cobra – a tool in the toolbox
All fires are different, and Cobra is not a tool suitable for all situations. However, the application areas are constantly developing, and we continue to learn from Cobra users about new situations where Cobra can be an efficient tool. Our Cobra Use Cases are descriptions of possible areas of use. They are based on our own and our users’ experiences. One example is how to safely operate Cobra in override mode.
