All potential operators should be totally familiar with the instructions on any extinguisherthey might be required to use.

    WHERE TO USEAmerex manufactures an extensive variety of hand portable and wheeled fire extinguishers, both compliance(code required) and specialty types. Specialty type extinguishers are intended for use on particular types of hazards, socareful attention should be made to locating them in close proximity to the specific hazard they are meant to protect. It is naturalfor a person to use the extinguisher located nearest to a fire. The most current issue of NFPA-10 should be consulted forminimum recommended fire extinguisher types, placement and travel distances. Your local Amerex Fire Equipment Distributoris professionally equipped to help you evaluate and implement these recommendations.All Picture Symbols are detailed below and should be reviewed with all who might be expected to use a fire extinguisher.Everyone should be familiar with these picture symbols which identify the types of fires on which they may be used. TheInternational sign system diagonal red slash indicates a potential danger if the extinguisher is used on that particular type of fire.

    MODEL 570 contains a special blended Sodium Chloridebased dry powder extinguishing agent. Heat from the firecauses it to cake and form a crust excluding air anddissipating heat from burning metal. Metal fires involvingmagnesium, sodium, potassium and sodium-potassium al-loys can be successfully extinguished with this extinguisher.There is data showing that zirconium, uranium and powderedaluminum fires can be controlled and extinguished with thisunique extinguisher.

    Available in 150 lb. Wheeled or Stationary

    MODEL 571 contains a copper extinguishing agent speciallydeveloped by the U.S. Navy for fighting lithium and lithiumalloy fires. The copper compound smothers the fire andprovides an excellent heat sink for dissipating heat. Copperpowder has been found to be superior to all other known fireextinguishing agents for lithium.

    Available in 250 lb. Wheeled

    FOR COMBUSTIBLEMETAL FIRES

    The Amerex "soft flow" extension applicator is particularlysuited for fighting Class D fires. It keeps the operator'shands away from the extreme heat and prevents inhala-tion of toxic fumes caused by burning material. The easilycontrolled, even discharge provides a non-dispursingapplication of the agent. The applicator may be quicklydetached to provide a straight stream of chemical wheregreater range, a narrow discharge pattern or a lobbingeffect is required.

    Fire destroys billions of dollars of industrial equipmentevery year. It causes manpower losses, decreasedproperty value, and, in many cases, human lives. Yet,companies fail to properly protect their workers andindustrial equipment from its damaging effects. Thatswhy there is Amerex.

    Amerex is one of the nations leading manufacturersof fire fighting equipment with more engineering, manu-facturing and quality control experience than anyoneelse in the industry. We can protect your equipmentfrom fire with a suppression system designed specifi-cally for you.

    Amerex Vehicle Fire Suppression Systems may make it easier to obtain insurance and also help youqualify for lower premiums. As the costs of heavy duty vehicles rise, insurance rates escalate accord-ingly. Many insurance companies have recognized a reduction in claims paid out due to the presence ofa fixed vehicle fire suppression system. The Amerex Fire Suppression System will lower your fire risk,which can lower your insurance premiums. The key phrase is material change of risk. Ask your insur-ance agent.

    THE AMEREX ADVANTAGE

    AMGADS III

    (Amerex Mobile Gas Detection System - 3rdGeneration) gas monitoring system is a pre-engineered system designed to be utilized onany type of alternately fueled vehicle. The sys-tem can be installed by the vehicle OEM orretrofitted. Its advanced technology can detect:Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), LiquifiedNatural Gas (LNG), Propane (LPG), Hydro-gen and any other hydrocarbon fuel vapors.

  • AGENT:The system agent is Amerex KP liquid fire suppressant, a potassium acetate based solution thatsuppresses cooking grease fires both through saponification and cooling. The agent has a pH of9 or less and does not harm stainless steel surfaces.

    AGENT CYLINDER :The agent cylinder is a mild steel DOT 4BW 240 specification cylinder, tested to 480 PSI (3309kPa). The agent cylinder/discharge valve assembly is fully factory charged with Amerex KP liquidagent and pressurized to 240 PSI (1655 kPa).

    DETECTION:

    MECHANICAL RELEASE MODULE (MRM):The mechanical release module is the spring-loaded type using a mechanical input and electrical, mechanical or pneumatic outputs.It is capable of actuating from one to ten cylinder/valve assemblies using one nitrogen cylinder and is operated either automatically bythe detection network or manually by a remote manual pull station.

    ZONE DEFENSE SYSTEMS:The Zone Defense Restaurant Fire Suppression System is a pre-engineered, wet chemical, stored-pressure typewith a fixed nozzle agent distribution network manufactured by Amerex Corporation. The system is listed byUnderwriters Laboratories, Inc., ULC and tested to UL Standard 300. The system shall be designed, installed andmaintained in accordance with: Amerex Part No. 16640 Design, Installation and Maintenance Manual, N.F.P.A. 96,N.F.P.A. 17A, local codes and ordinances by an Authorized Amerex Zone Defense Systems Distributor using factory

    trained personnel. The Zone Defense system is fully self-contained and does not require electrical power or connection to eitherdomestic water supply or fire sprinkler supply lines.

    PNEUMATIC RELEASE MODULE (PRM):The PRM offers superior detection by using a linear pneumatic detection system. The PRM detection system consists of the PRM,tubing and end of line fitting. The tubing is pressurized through a small accumulator inside the enclosure, routed throughout thehazard area, and has a UL listed fixed temperature of 435F. When exposed to a fire condition, the tubing ruptures, relieving all of thepressure in the tubing and accumulator thus firing the system using a nitrogen cylinder. The PRM comes complete with enclosure,accumulator, end of line fitting, connector for mechanical manual pull, one SPDT microswitch, and knock-outs. It is capable of firingup to 10 KP375 cylinders and releasing up to 2 gas valves.

    1. When a fire starts, either detection net-work will automatically detect the fire orthe manual pull station can be used, re-leasing a low pH agent throughout thehood, duct and onto the appliances.

    2. Either method of actuation willinterrupt gas or electrical powerto the appliances precedingsystem discharge.

    3. The Amerex KP agent quickly extin-guishes the fire and cools the fuel whilesecuring the vapors with a smotheringfoam reaction.

    PLEASE SEE OUR KP OR ZD BROCHURES FOR MORE INFORMATIONAVAILABLE TO AUTHORIZED DISTRIBUTORS ONLY

    The detection network uses a continuous cable run with detectors specifically listed for use with the Amerex KP System. No S hooksare allowed.

    KP / ZD RESTAURANT FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEMSThe Amerex KP Restaurant System is a pre-engineered, wet chemical,stored-pressure type with a fixed nozzle agent distribution network. The sys-tem is listed by Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., ULC and tested to U.L.

    Standard 300. The system shall be designed, installed and maintained in accordance with:Amerex Part No. 12385 Design, Installation and Maintenance Manual, N.F.P.A. 96, N.F.P.A.17A, local codes and ordinances by an Authorized Amerex KP Systems Distributor usingfactory trained personnel.

  • AUTOMATIC INDUSTRIAL DRY CHEMICAL SYSTEM IS

    For over 30 years, Amerex has been protecting facilities and businesses of all types from fire.Our innovative fire extinguisher and automatic system designs have prevented damage andloss that would have been caused by the ravages of fire. Costs associated with lost produc-tion time, equipment replacement and business interruption are a concern for any industry.In keeping with the Amerex tradition of concern for the customer, the Amerex IS has beendesigned to offer the best fire protection available and we do it with less. Less equipmentmeans less time to install, less time to service and fewer nozzles to locate (and get in yourway). All of this could translate into lower initial cost and lower maintenance cost over the lifeof the system.

    Weve got you covered with the best Fire Extinguishing agent available

    The Amerex IS system uses our exclusive ABC (Model 555) dry chemical. ABCdry chemical suppresses more fire, by volume, than any other agent. ABC drychemical has quick flame knock-down and can help to secure Class A fires againstre-ignition. Since many hazards involve a variety of fuel sources, our ABC dry chemi-cal, with protection against Class A (wood, paper, pulp), Class B (flammable liq-uids) and Class C (live electrical equipment) is the agent that is best suited formost Industrial hazards.

    Always ready when you need it

    The Amerex IS industrial system incorporates an automatic detection sys-tem that will operate in case of a fire anytime, 24/7, even if no one is present. Aswith the rest of the IS system design and philosophy, the automatic fire de-tection system uses fewer components which saves on installation and main-tenance costs.

    Fewer Cylinders, Fewer Nozzles, Less Pipe

    The Amerex IS industrial system uses fewer nozzles, including a unique 3-way nozzlethat eliminates the need for two separate nozzles for many situations. In some cases thismay even eliminate an extra agent cylinder!
