The water discharge gun operation signal transmission / reception wiring 4 connected to the water discharge gun operation unit 2 can be wound up by a take-up reel (not shown) provided at the back of the storage recess 3. When the water spray gun operating unit 2 is stored in the storage recess 3, the water gun operating unit 2
Is configured so that the operation surface of the water spray gun control panel 1 and the operation surface are aligned.

The water gun control panel 1 is installed in a crane operation room 10. A monitoring window 5 is provided in the crane operation room 10 so that the dust pit space, which is a protection area, can be seen. The garbage pit is equipped with a water spray gun to extinguish fires.

In such a configuration, the water gun operating unit 2 is normally operated in a state of being housed in the housing recess 3 of the water gun control panel 1. For example, work such as inspection of the system can be performed in the housed state.

At this time, since the operation surface of the water spray gun operation unit 2 and the operation surface of the water gun control panel 1 are aligned, the operation of the water gun operation while maintaining the same operability as the switches of the water gun control panel 1 is maintained. The operation of the unit 2 can be performed.

Therefore, inspection and the like are easy. On the other hand, in the event of a fire, the water spray gun operation unit 2 is removed from the storage recess 3 and the operator reaches the monitoring window 5 through which the entire protection range can be seen.
And operate the water discharge gun near the monitoring window 5. FIG. 1 illustrates this state.

On the operation surface of the water spray gun operation unit 2, a liquid crystal display panel 7 with a touch panel is arranged in addition to a plurality of operation switches. The liquid crystal display panel 7 displays switches and indicators for mode selection, operation, and the like according to a software configuration.

For example, FIG. 2 shows a display example of the liquid crystal display panel 7. When the number of installed water guns is different, a motor operation switch for selecting a water gun, turning, etc. is displayed. FIG.
