Safety Summary

Definitions• Note: Notes are used to call out information that requires extra attention.

• Caution: Cautions are placed throughout the manual in areas where the possibility of property/equip-ment damage. The general cautions in the Safety Summary should be adhered to at all times when working with a Kidde Fire Systems IND Dry Chemical System.

• Warning: Warnings are placed throughout the manual in areas where the possibility of severe prop-erty/equipment damage, system failure, personal injury, and in some cases, death could occur. The general warnings in the Safety Summary should be adhered to at all times when working with a Kidde Fire Systems IND Dry Chemical System.

General Warnings

• Protective eye wear must always be worn when working with pressurized cylinders. Never service the Cylinder and Valve Assembly unless the Anti-Recoil Plate (P/N 255681) and Shipping Inspection Plate (P/N 255096) are installed. Death, serious injury or property damage could occur.

• Under no circumstances while performing cylinder recharge should a charged cylinder be allowed to “free stand” without either the charging apparatus attached or the anti-recoil plate installed. When-ever these devices are not installed, a charged cylinder must be securely clamped to a rigid structure capable of withstanding the full thrust that would result should the valve inadvertently open.

• It is likely that industrial applications involving flammable or combustible liquids will be enclosed within or surrounded by areas that will be classified as Class-I or Class-II, Division-1 or Division-2 locations (Zone 1 or Zone 2). Dry chemical system electrical components, such as heat detectors, located within these areas shall be rated for use in classified areas, and all wiring to these components shall conform to the provisions of NFPA 70, National Electric Code, for Class-I or Class-II, Division-1 or Division-2 locations (Zone 1 or Zone 2). Any system with a Microswitch must be rated for use in a classified area.

• Do not use water or oxygen to blow out piping. Moisture will cause blockage. The use of oxygen is very dangerous as the possible presence of even a minute quantity of oil may cause an explosion, thereby causing death, serious injury and/or property damage.

• The system uses high pressure. Safety goggles or glasses must be worn. Loosen the fitting slowly and carefully. Bleed all pressure out gradually. Failure to observe these cautions could result in bodily injury.

• The braided High-Pressure Nitrogen Tubing, is required on all installations in which the XV Control System is connected to a System Valve Actuator (SVA). Use of a different type of connection in such an installation could result in serious personal injury and/or malfunction of the system.

• Never dispose of a pressurized cartridge. Cartridges must be discharged before discarding. Filled gas cartridges may be dangerous if not handled properly. Do not heat cartridges above 120°F (49°C). Death, serious injury and/or property damage could occur. Pressurized cartridges that become over-heated can explode, and thereby cause property damage, severe personal injury, and possibly death.

WARNING

January 2007 ii P/N 83-100036-001

General Cautions

• Where electric detection and/or actuation is provided, supervision shall be provided in accordance with NFPA 17. Alarms and indicators, along with a supervisory power source, shall be provided in accor-dance with NFPA 72, National Fire Alarm Code. Electrical wiring and equipment shall be provided in accordance with NFPA 70, National Electric Code. All installations are subject to the approval of the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).

• A System Nitrogen Cartridge, P/N 87-120043-001, is required for final system set up. Using any other cartridge could cause malfunction or non-function of the system.

• System owners should refer to the IND Dry Chemical Owners Manual, P/N 83-INDMA-001. No other action shall be taken by the system owner other than visual. If further maintenance is determined necessary as a result of owner inspection, contact an authorized Kidde Distributor.

• Do not attempt to recharge any cylinder with out first checking for last hydrostatic test date. The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and Transport Canada (TC) has ruled that any pressurized con-tainer of the type used in dry chemical systems shall not be recharged or transported with out first being inspected internally and externally and hydrostatically tested if more than five (5) years have elapsed since the date of the last hydrostatic test. Regardless of previous inspection dates, it is illegal to refill any pressurized container that leaks, which bulges, has defective safety devices, bears evi-dence of physical abuse, fire or heat damage, or detrimental rusting or corrosion, until it is properly repaired and requalified as specified in DOT and TC regulations. For more information, refer to Com-pressed Gas Association (CGA) Pamphlet C-6.

GENERAL PRECAUTIONSThe following general safety precautions are to be observed at all times:

1. All electrical components associated with equipment shall be installed and grounded in accordance with NEC and local regulatory requirements.

2. Special precautionary measures are essential to prevent applying power to equipment at any timemaintenance work is in progress.

3. Before working on electrical equipment, use a voltmeter to ensure that system is not energized.

4. When working near electricity, do not use metal rulers, flashlights, metallic pencils, or any other ob-jects having exposed conductive material.

5. When connecting a meter to terminals for measurement, use a voltage range higher than expectedvoltage to be measured.

CAUTION

P/N 83-100036-001 iii January 2007

Pressurized CylindersKidde IND™ Dry Chemical fire suppression systems use pressurized equipment; therefore, personnel re-sponsible for fire suppression systems must be aware of the dangers associated with the improper han-dling, installation or maintenance of this equipment.

Fire suppression system service personnel must be thoroughly trained in the proper handling, installation and service of Kidde IND Dry Chemical equipment and follow the instructions used in this manual and on the cylinder nameplate.

Kidde has provided warnings and cautions at appropriate locations throughout the text of this manual. These warnings and cautions are to be adhered to at all times. Failure to do so may result in property/equipment damage, serious personal injury, and even death.

SAFETY BULLETIN 1, MARCH 2, 1987

SUBJECT: SAFE CYLINDER HANDLING PROCEDURES

Pressurized (charged) cylinders are extremely hazardous and if not handled properly are capa-ble of violent discharge. This may result in death, serious personal injury, and/or property dam-age.

Before handling Kidde system products, all personnel must be thoroughly trained in the safe handling of the cylinders as well as in the proper procedures for installation, removal, filling, and connection of other critical devices, such as System Valve Actuators (SVAs).

READ, UNDERSTAND and ALWAYS FOLLOW the operation and maintenance manuals, owners manuals, ser-vice manuals, etc., that are provided with the individual systems.

The following safety procedures must be observed at all times:

Moving Cylinders: Cylinders must be shipped compactly in the upright position, and properly secured in place. Containers must not be rolled, dragged or slid, nor allowed to be slid from tailgates of vehicles. A suitable hand truck, fork truck, roll platform or similar device must be used.

Rough Handling: Cylinders must not be dropped or permitted to strike violently against each other or other surfaces.

Storage: Cylinders must be stored standing upright where they are not likely to be knocked over, or the cylinders must be secured.

For additional information on safe handling of compressed gas cylinders, see CGA Pamphlet PI titled “Safe Handling of Compressed Gases in Containers”. CGA pamphlets may be purchased from The Compressed Gas Association, Crystal Square Two, 1725 Jefferson Davis Highway, Arlington, VA 22202.

General Information

CHAPTER 1GENERAL INFORMATION

1-1 INTRODUCTION

The Kidde® IND™ Dry Chemical System for Vehicle Spray Booths is a pre-engineered drychemical fire suppression system. The system provides fire protection using dry chemicalagents in accordance with the latest edition of NFPA Standard 17, “Standard for Dry ChemicalSystems”, NFPA Standard 33, "Standard for Spray Applications Using Flammable orCombustible Material", and other applicable NFPA standards. All configurations are UL Listedto Underwriters Laboratories 1254, 1998 Edition, unless otherwise noted.

1-2 VEHICLE SPRAY BOOTHS

Used for painting automobiles and trucks, as well as other types of mobile equipment, a vehiclespray booth generally consists of three main components:

1. The work area where the vehicle is painted,

2. The plenum, which is used to filter out overspray from the exhaust air drawn through thework area, and

3. The duct, which draws air through filters in the work area and plenum with a fan andexhausts the filtered air.

A typical vehicle spray booth configuration is shown in Figure 1-1.

Figure 1-1. Example of a Typical Vehicle Spray Booth Configuration

Although vehicle spray booths are manufactured in a variety of sizes and configurations, theycan be broken into two main categories based on the design of the exhaust system: cross-draftand down-draft. In the cross-draft booth, air is moved from front to rear in the work area.Typically, fresh air enters the work area through inlet filters in the door(s) and exits throughexhaust filters into a plenum at the rear of the booth. In the down-draft booth, air is moved

General Information

from top to bottom in the work area. Typically, fresh air enters the work area through inletfilters in the ceiling and exits through exhaust filters into a plenum on the floor of the booth.

This manual will provide the designer/installer with the information necessary to identify thebooth configuration and design/install a Kidde IND Dry Chemical System to achieve proper firesuppression.

1-3 KIDDE IND DRY CHEMICAL SYSTEM FOR VEHICLE SPRAY BOOTHS

The Kidde IND Dry Chemical System for Vehicle Spray Booths is a fixed dry chemical systemconsisting of a supply of dry chemical stored in one or more Cylinder and Valve Assemblies.Each cylinder is equipped with a System Valve Actuator, which is activated by the XV™ ControlSystem.

The system can be actuated either automatically or manually. Upon activation, the drychemical is discharged through agent distribution piping and nozzles positioned throughout theprotected area.

1-3.1 Total-Flooding System

The Kidde IND Dry Chemical System for Vehicle Spray Booths is designed based on a total-flood concept. In a total-flooding system, a predetermined amount of dry chemical isdischarged through agent distribution piping and nozzles into an enclosed space or enclosurearound the hazard.

1-4 TYPE OF DRY CHEMICAL

The Kidde IND Dry Chemical System uses monoammonium-phosphate base (termed “multi-purpose dry chemical”) for Class A, Class B and Class C fires.

The classification of fire is defined as the following:

• Class A: Surface Type Fires; wood or other cellulose-type material (ordinary combustibles)

• Class B: Flammable liquids

• Class C: Energized electrical equipment

The dry chemicals used in the Kidde IND Dry Chemical System are stable at both low and hightemperatures. Various additives are mixed with the base materials to improve their storage,flow and water-repellency characteristics. The upper storage temperature limit for the systemis 120°F (49°C). The lower temperature limit is 0°F (-17°C).

Monoammonium phosphate is non-toxic, however, the discharge of large amounts the drychemical agent may cause temporary breathing difficulty during and immediately afterdischarge, and may cause serious visibility problems.

After discharge, the dry chemical should be removed from any valuable equipment to preventa possible reaction between materials in the presence of moisture. Personnel in contact withthe agent should remove the dry chemical from their skin with tap water (refer to Appendix Afor Material Safety Data Sheets).

WARNING

Upon system alarm notification, all personnel must evacuate the protectedspace. Failure to do so may result in temporary respiratory difficulties,disorientation, and/or personal injury and/or death.

General Information

1-5 EXTINGUISHING PROPERTIES OF DRY CHEMICAL

Multi-purpose (ABC) dry chemical can be used on fires involving flammable liquids, energizedelectrical equipment, and on fires in ordinary combustible materials.

When multi-purpose dry chemical is discharged onto ordinary combustibles that are burning,the decomposed monoammonium phosphate leaves a sticky residue. This residue seals oxygenfrom the burning material, thus providing fire suppression and inhibiting re-ignition.

When introduced into the combustion zone, dry chemical causes almost immediate flameextinguishment. Smothering, cooling and radiation shielding contribute to the extinguishingefficiency of dry chemical, but the principal mechanism for the flame extinguishment is thechemical chain-breaking properties of the dry chemicals.

1-6 USES AND LIMITATIONS OF DRY CHEMICAL SYSTEMS

Due to the rapidity with which it extinguishes flame, multi-purpose dry chemical is used onsurface fires involving Class A (ordinary combustible) materials as well as Class B.

Note: It is important to recognize that dry chemical is considered to be a transientextinguishant and does not produce a lasting inert atmosphere above the surface of aflammable liquid, nor does it maintain a total-flooding concentration in an enclosedspace. Consequently, its use will not result in a permanent extinguishment if re-ignitionsources, such as hot metal surfaces or persistent electrical arcing, are present.

1-7 HAZARDOUS MATERIALS INFORMATION SYSTEM (HMISSM)

The HMIS rating for dry chemical is as follows:

• Health (H) = 1

• Flammability (F) = 0

• Reactivity (R) = 0

Refer to http://www.kiddefiresystems.com web site for latest MSDS information.

CAUTION

Dry chemical fire extinguishing agents are considered nontoxic, but areclassified as a nuisance dust irritant, and may cause temporary irritation to theeyes, skin, or respiratory system. Avoid unnecessary exposure.

Operation

CHAPTER 2OPERATION

2-1 INTRODUCTION

This chapter describes the Kidde® IND™ Dry Chemical operation as used in vehicle spray boothapplications.

2-2 MODES OF OPERATION

Figure 2-1 illustrates the main components of the Kidde IND Dry Chemical System installed ona typical vehicle spray booth (detailed descriptions of each component are provided in Chapter3, Component Descriptions). Operation of the Kidde IND Dry Chemical System is accomplishedusing the XV™ Control System. The XV Control System can be operated in three differentmodes when a fire, or extreme temperature rise, is detected:

1. Automatic Mechanical Operation,

2. Manual Operation (Remote and/or Local), or

3. Automatic Electrical Operation.

2-2.1 Automatic Mechanical Operation

The XV Control System can be automatically actuated by mechanical link detection (Fusible-Links or Thermo-Bulb Links). There can be up to two cables under tension using in-linemechanical link detection. In the event of a fire, when the mechanical link detector reaches apredetermined temperature set point, the two halves of the mechanical link detector separate,releasing the tension held on the cable. When tension is released on any of the possible twocables, the actuation lever releases, tripping the XV Control System. A System NitrogenCartridge then opens releasing nitrogen into the Actuation Delay. After 10 to 20 seconds,nitrogen is released through High-Pressure Nitrogen Tubing to the System Valve Actuators(SVAs). The SVAs then open the cylinder valves. Dry chemical agent flows through the agentdistribution piping and nozzles, and suppresses the fire. The XV Control System will indicate“Released” to confirm that is has been operated.

2-2.2 Manual Operation (Remote and/or Local)

Manual operation can be accomplished either locally at the XV Control System, or from aRemote Manual Release. For local manual operation, the safety pin is pulled out of the leveron the XV Control System. The lever handle is turned clockwise to release the XV ControlSystem. A System Nitrogen Cartridge then opens releasing nitrogen into the Actuation Delay.After 10 to 20 seconds, nitrogen is released through High-Pressure Nitrogen Tubing to theSystem Valve Actuators (SVAs), which opens the cylinder valves. Dry chemical agent thenflows through the agent distribution piping and nozzles, and suppresses the fire. The XVControl System will indicate “Released” to confirm that is has been operated.

For remote manual operation, the XV Control System is released by pulling out the safety pinof the Remote Manual Release and pulling firmly on the handle. The same sequence ofactuation then occurs, as in local manual operation.

2-2.3 Automatic Electrical Operation

Automatic electrical operation can only be accomplished when the optional Electric Actuator isinstalled in the XV Control System. This option uses a remote electrical release and/or a HeatDetector, which, when activated sends a signal to a UL Listed fire control panel. The fire control

P/N 83-100036-001 2-1 January 2007

Operation

panel sends an activation signal to trip the XV Control System. A System Nitrogen Cartridgeopens, releasing nitrogen into the Actuation Delay. After 10 to 20 seconds, nitrogen is releasedthrough tubing to the System Valve Actuators (SVAs), which open the cylinder valves. Drychemical agent then flows through the agent distribution piping and nozzles, and suppressesthe fire.

2-3 SEQUENCE OF OPERATION

The sequence of operation for the Kidde IND Dry Chemical System for Vehicle Spray Booths isillustrated for all three modes of operation as a flowchart in Figure 2-2. The flow chart can bereferenced on Figure 2-2 of this manual.

3-2.2 XV™ Control System, P/N 87-120099-001

The XV Control System can be operated with either automatic mechanical detection, remoteor local operation or electrical operation.

When the XV Control System is in 'Set' position, it places tension on the attached cables andpushes down on the paddle(s) of the Microswitch(es). When the tension is released, the XVControl Systems goes into the 'Released' position. The beam of the XV Control System swings,pushing on the actuation latch. The actuation latch releases the cam/flag assembly, whichpushes the puncture pin into a System Nitrogen Cartridge, (P/N 87-120043-001). The nitrogenis released through the High-Pressure Nitrogen Tubing (P/N 87-120045-001) into the ActuationDelay (83-100035-001). After 10 to 20 seconds, nitrogen is released through High-PressureNitrogen Tubing to the System Valve Actuators (SVAs, P/N 87-120042-001), which open thecylinder valves. Dry chemical agent then flows through the agent distribution piping andnozzles, and suppresses the fire.

When the cam/flag assembly is released, the paddles of the Microswitch(es) release andchange the position of the Microswitch(es).

Figure 3-4 and Figure 3-5 show the inside and outside view of the XV Control System.Table 3-3 lists the components that are included with the XV Control System.

CHAPTER 4DESIGN

4-1 INTRODUCTION

This chapter introduces the designer, installer and/or user to the process whereby Kidde®IND™ Dry Chemical Systems are designed. It outlines the process, introduces the limitationsimposed on design by system hardware, as well as those mandated by performanceconsiderations. It also gives a brief introduction to the use of industrial dry chemical in basicspray booth fire suppression applications.

As the designer becomes familiar with this material, they should remember that analysis anddesign is a careful, step-by-step process. All steps must be followed, none can be omitted, andall unique aspects of a given application must be taken into account if the resulting fire-suppression system is to deliver the desired results.

All systems must be designed in accordance with the latest edition of NFPA Standard 17,“Standard for Dry Chemical Systems”, NFPA Standard 33, "Standard for Spray ApplicationsUsing Flammable or Combustible Material", and other applicable NFPA standards. Allconfigurations are UL Listed to Underwriters Laboratories 1254, 1998 Edition, unless otherwisenoted.

4-2 VEHICLE SPRAY BOOTHS

4-2.1 Components of a Spray Booth

Vehicle spray booths are used for painting automobiles and trucks, as well as other types ofmobile equipment. They consist of three main components:

1. The work area where the vehicle is painted,

2. The plenum, which is used to filter out overspray from the exhaust air drawn through thework area, and,

3. The duct, which draws air through filters in the work area and plenum with a fan. The ductthen exhausts the filtered air.

A typical vehicle spray booth configuration is shown in Figure 4-1.

P/N 83-100036-001 4-1 January 2007

Design

Figure 4-1. Example of a Typical Vehicle Spray Booth Configuration

Although vehicle spray booths are manufactured in a variety of sizes and configurations, theycan be broken into two main categories based on the design of the exhaust system: cross-draftand down-draft. In the cross-draft booth, air is moved from front to rear in the work area.Typically, fresh air enters the work area through inlet filters in the door(s) and exits throughexhaust filters into a plenum at the rear of the booth. In the down-draft booth, air is movedfrom top to bottom in the work area. Typically, fresh air enters the work area through inletfilters in the ceiling and exits through exhaust filters into a plenum on the floor of the booth.

This manual will provide the designer/installer with the information necessary to identify thebooth configuration and design/install a Kidde IND Dry Chemical System to achieve proper firesuppression.

4-3 DESIGN PROCESS

Analysis and design should be approached as a methodical process, and performed step-by-step. Only when all the steps are followed is the resulting protection system complete. If anystep is omitted, it is probable that the system will not meet the design as specified in its listing,and may not operate as intended. The steps in the analysis and design process are:

1. Analyze area(s) to be protected.

2. Select nozzle locations.

3. Determine cylinders and their locations.

4. Design and locate pipe within limitations.

5. Determine and locate detection.

6. Determine other auxiliary requirements.

In addition to performing the analysis and design process, and having a general knowledge ofdry chemical systems, the system designer must also have a working knowledge of all systemand sub-system limitations; this knowledge is necessary to ensure the effectiveness of theinstalled fire-suppression system. Each design must allow for the limitations of each part of thesystem: detector(s), actuator(s), nozzles, piping, cylinders and auxiliary control requirements.

Down-Draft Side Exhaust Down Draft Pit with Tunnel

P/N 83-100036-001 4-3 January 2007

Design

For example, some detectors are unsuitable for some types of fire hazard; the three nozzlesavailable for use with the system will distribute extinguishing agent in different patterns; somesystems will require one kind of actuator rather than another, or may require a combination ofactuators; and finally, piping must be designed so that the agent is distributed effectively.

The design limitations of industrial dry chemical systems and their components are discussedin detail in this manual, and the designer should familiarize himself with them before beginningthe design process.

4-4 COMPONENTS OF SUPPRESSION

4-4.1 Nozzles

Three different types of nozzles are available for vehicle spray booth applications: TotalFlooding (TF), Duct/Plenum (D/P) and 3-Way. See Table 4-1 for more information.

4-4.2 Cylinders

The Kidde Dry Chemical System Models IND-21 and IND-45 are used in modular configurationsfor work area, plenum and exhaust duct coverage using the TF, D/P or 3-Way Nozzles. TheKidde Model IND-70 is used for protection of the work area, plenum and exhaust duct of a basicsize vehicle spray booth.

4-5.1 Nozzle Coverages

4-5.1.1 WORK AREA

Protection in the work area is based on a modular concept. A single TF Nozzle (P/N 83-100005-001) can protect a work area module with the following limitations:

• Maximum module volume per nozzle:

1260 ft.3 (35.7 m3)

• Maximum module height per nozzle:

24 ft. (7.3 m)

• Maximum module area:

105 ft.2 (9.8 m2) for 12 ft. (3.7 m) or less height* 52.5 ft.2 (4.9 m2) for 24 ft. (7.3 m) height*

• Maximum module side length:

14 ft. (4.3 m) at 12 ft. (3.7 m) height*10 ft. (3.0 m) at 24 ft. (7.3 m) height*

Note: For heights in between 12 and 24 ft. (3.7 m and 7.3 m), reference Table 4-2 andTable 4-3.

4-5.1.2 SPECIAL APPLICATION: SIDE WALL NOZZLE SYSTEM

The Kidde IND Dry Chemical System for Vehicle Spray Booths supports side-wall nozzleplacement for protection of the work area. In this application, one IND-45 utilizing four totalflooding nozzles (P/N 83-100005-001) is used to protect a work area having maximumdimensions of 28 ft. L x 15 ft. W x 9 ft., 2 in. H (8.5 m L x 4.6 m W x 2.8 m H). The four nozzlesare placed along the side-walls aiming horizontally towards the opposite wall as shown inFigure 4-12. Modular protection can be allowed, provided an entire IND-45 four-nozzle systemis used without exceeding the maximum dimensions of 28 ft. L x 15 ft. W x 9 ft., 2 in. H (8.5m L x 4.6 m W x 2.8 m H) per work area module.

Piping limitations for the Side-Wall Nozzle System are detailed in Figure 4-20.

Note: This special side-wall system is independent of any of the parameters inParagraph 4-5.1.1. None of the limitations in Paragraph 4-5.1.1 apply to this side-wallsystem.

4-5.1.3 EXHAUST DUCT

The Exhaust Duct is a fan-powered air channel that draws air through the work area, theplenum and out through the duct. The D/P Nozzle will protect either round or rectangular ductsup to 28 ft. (8.5 m) in length (see Figure 4-13).

Any change in duct direction or additional length requires an additional D/P Nozzle. The ductnozzle must be centered at the duct entrance, and pointed in the direction of the air flow. Thetip of the duct nozzle must be within 6 in. (152 mm) of the duct entrance. The maximumdiameter of a round duct is 48 in. (1219 mm); the maximum perimeter for a rectangular ductis 150.8 in. (3830 mm) and the maximum diagonal is 48 in. (1219 mm). See Table 4-4 forrectangular duct dimensions.

Table 4-5 outlines the maximum single nozzle protection for each of the various plenumconfigurations. As with the protection of the work areas, plenum protection is based on thesingle nozzle coverage, and can be modularized provided the limitations below for nozzlesemployed do not exceed that of the single nozzle. Thus, plenums with dimensions exceedingthose below or pit plenums with changes in direction or additional tunnels can be protectedbased on modularization. For nozzle locations, refer to Figure 4-14.

4-5.2.1 FLOW DIVISION

When the flow of a two-phase fluid changes in direction, such as at an elbow, the flow changecan cause a separation of the nitrogen gas and the dry chemical powder. In order to ensurethe proper flow division of dry chemical at each tee, certain minimum pipe lengths must beobserved when approaching a tee following a change in flow direction. These minimum pipelengths are shown in Figure 4-28.

Figure 4-28. Distribution Systems Requiring Minimum Pipe Lengths

Figure 4-29. Distribution Systems Requiring No Minimum Pipe Length

4-5.2.2 MATERIAL FOR PIPE AND FITTINGS

All piping must be Schedule 40, hot dipped, galvanized steel pipe, and all fittings must be, ata minimum, standard weight (150 lb. class). Examples of acceptable fitting materials includehot dipped, galvanized malleable iron, ductile iron or steel. Couplings and unions may be usedwhere necessary, and reducing bushings or reducing tees can be used for changes in pipediameter.

Note: Black steel pipe and fittings can be used in relatively noncorrosive atmospheres.

4-6 COMPONENTS OF ACTUATION

4-6.1 XV™ Control System

The XV Control System can be operated with either automatic mechanical detection, remoteor local operation or electrical operation.

When the XV Control System is in 'Set' position, it places tension on the attached cables andpushes down on the paddle(s) of the Microswitch(es). When the tension is released, the XVControl System goes into the 'Released' position. The beam of the XV Control System swings,pushing on the actuation latch. The actuation latch releases the cam/flag assembly, whichpushes the puncture pin into a System Nitrogen Cartridge, (P/N 87-120043-001). The nitrogenis released through the High-Pressure Nitrogen Tubing (P/N 87-120045-001) into the ActuationDelay (83-100035-001). After 10 to 20 seconds, nitrogen is released through High-PressureNitrogen Tubing to the System Valve Actuators (SVAs, P/N 87-120042-001), which open thecylinder valves. Dry chemical agent then flows through the agent distribution piping andnozzles, and suppresses the fire.

When the cam/flag assembly is released, the paddles of the Microswitch(es) release andchange the position of the Microswitch(es).

4-6.2 Actuation Delay Assembly

The Actuation Delay Assembly (P/N 83-100035-001), allows the Microswitches in the XVControl System to shut down the power supply to connected blowers, pumps, etc., beforedischarge begins. The Actuation Delay Assembly mounts directly to the XV Control Systemhousing, and connects to the XV Control System using the High-Pressure Nitrogen Tubing (P/N87-120045-001). The output is applied to the System Valve Actuator using copper tubing.

4-6.3 Detection

Types of heat detection available for use with the Kidde IND Dry Chemical Vehicle Spray BoothSystem include:

1. Mechanical; such as Thermo-Bulb or Fusible-Links.

2. Radiant; such as infrared or optical.

3. Linear; such as LHS cable or AlarmLine™.

Refer to Paragraph 3-2.4, or the individual detector listing requirements for more information.

Note: The following are additional notes and requirements regarding the copper tubing andHigh-Pressure Nitrogen Tubing:

• High-Pressure Nitrogen Tubing (P/N 87-120045-001) is required to connect the outlet ofthe XV Control System to the inlet of the Actuation Delay.

• Copper Tubing shall be 1/4-inch O.D. 1.030 wall thickness x 3/16-inch I.D. copper tubing.

• In every system, either a single cylinder or multiple cylinder, a 1/8-inch NPT plug or ventcheck (P/N 877810) shall be used in the outlet port of the last System Valve Actuator inthe actuation line.

• Operating temperature limitations for the Actuation Delay are 0°F to 120°F (-18°C to49°C).

• The minimum length of copper tubing in the actuation line is 5 ft. (1.5 m).

• Pressure switches may be placed anywhere in the copper tubing actuation line after theActuation Delay. These pressure switches are not to be placed in the High-PressureNitrogen Tubing line between the XV Control System outlet and the Actuation Delay. Thesepressure switches are not to be used to perform the exhaust fan shut-down, since fanshutdown must occur at the time of system detection (per UL 1254, 1998 Edition).

4-7.2 Link Selection

For automatic actuation to occur during a fire, the links must be heated sufficiently to melt andcause actuation. Experience has shown that it may take several minutes for links to actuate,and actuation is dependent upon:

• Fire intensity

• Link temperature rating

• Link spacing and location

In order to minimize delays in link response time, it is necessary to conduct a temperaturesurvey at all locations where detector links will be installed. The survey must be conductedunder maximum operating conditions (i.e., at the highest operating temperatures and airflows)to determine the optimum exhaust airflow locations and record the peak temperatures that areexpected to occur. Once the survey is completed:

• Select the lowest temperature-rated link that can be used.

• Make sure that the maximum exposure temperature of the link exceeds the maximumtemperature obtained from the survey.

CAUTION

Links must have an exposure temperature rating greater than the maximumpeak survey temperatures recorded (refer to Table 3-7 for link maximumexposure temperatures); links with too low of a temperature rating could causeaccidental system discharge.

P/N 83-100036-001 4-39 January 2007

Design

4-7.2.1 LINK SPACING

The link housing kit, shown in Figure 4-36, provides the flexibility required to install fusiblelinks in a wide variety of industrial applications. Depending upon the size of the area beingprotected, the number of links used can range from a minimum of 1 up to a maximum of 80.When multiple links are used, they are connected to each other in series using 1/16-inchstainless steel Control Cable to form a continuous chain. The 1/16-inch Control Cable connectsthe XV Control System to the nearest link.

Kidde Rapid-Response Thermo-Bulb Links (KGR) can be spaced every 20 ft. (6.1 m) for smoothceilings up to 12 ft. (3.7 m) high. Consult NFPA 72 for reductions in spacing for ceiling heightsin excess of 12 ft. (3.7 m), and for spacing guidelines when different ceiling arrangements areencountered.

Note: For standard response mechanical links, Kidde requires reduction in spacing by 50%,or spacing every 10 ft. (3.1 m).

Potential fire hazards and/or fire development scenarios may require closer fusible linkspacings. Consult the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) in these situations.

Figure 4-36. Link Detector Installation

WARNING

All links must be connected in proper order in the series for the system tooperate correctly. Only one (1) terminating link per detection line is permitted.Improper order could result in system malfunction, thereby causing propertydamage, personal injury and/or possible death.

4-7.2.2 HEAT DETECTOR (DETECT-A-FIRE®) SELECTION

The Detect-A-Fire must be heated to its setpoint temperature for automatic actuation to occurduring a fire. Automatic actuation is dependent upon:

• Fire intensity

• Heat detector setpoint

• Heat detector spacing and location

In order to minimize delays in Heat Detector response, it is imperative that a temperaturesurvey be conducted at all locations where Heat Detectors will be installed. The survey mustbe conducted under maximum operating conditions (i.e., at the highest operatingtemperatures and airflows) to determine the optimum exhaust airflow locations and record thepeak temperatures that are expected to occur. Once the survey is completed:

1. Select the Heat Detector with the lowest usable setpoint.

2. Make sure that there is approximately a 75°F to 100°F (24°C to 38°C) buffer between theHeat Detector setpoint and the maximum temperature obtained from the survey.

3. Make sure that the Heat Detectors are located in the exhaust airflow, not in dead-airspaces. This will provide the fastest detector response.

4-7.2.3 HEAT DETECTOR SPACING

The number of Heat Detectors required for a particular industrial application is a function ofthe size of the area

being protected. Since the Heat Detector is an non-powered electrical component, there is noupper limit established for the maximum number of detectors that can be used for a givensystem. In practice, issues such as voltage drops caused by wiring resistance impose certainlimitations on the lengths of wiring that can be used. For applications that require control units,consult the appropriate control unit installation manual for wiring limitations. When multipleHeat Detectors are used, they are electrically connected in parallel.

Heat Detectors are spaced every 20 ft. (6.1 m) for smooth ceilings up to 12 ft. (3.7 m) high.Consult NFPA 72 for reductions in spacing for ceiling heights in excess of 12 ft. (3.7 m), andfor spacing guidelines when different ceiling arrangements are encountered.

4-7.2.4 OTHER DETECTION SYSTEMS

There may be some applications where another mode of detection, such as flame or radiationdetection, is more appropriate. Any UL Listed and/or FM Approved detector may be used toactuate the extinguishing system provided that the detector is appropriate to the type ofcombustibles involved and is connected to a listed and compatible control panel. The controlpanel shall be UL Listed and/or FM Approved for releasing device service and compatible withthe Kidde IND Dry Chemical System equipment. Consult with the detection device’s approvedinstallation manual for installation and spacing requirements.

WARNING

It is likely that industrial applications involving flammable or combustibleliquids will be enclosed within or surrounded by areas that will be classified asClass I or Class II, Division 1 or Division 2 locations (Zone 1 or Zone 2). Dry-chemical system electrical components, such as Heat detectors, located withinthese areas shall be rated for use in classified areas, and all wiring to thesecomponents shall conform to the provisions of NFPA 70, national electricalcode, for Class I or Class II, Division 1 or Division 2 locations (Zone 1 or Zone2).

5-2.2 Mounting Bracket Installation

1. Determine the Cylinder and Valve Assembly mounting locations and mark the mountingholes for each bracket. Before drilling the mounting holes, be sure that the mountingsurface will support the loads identified in Table 3-2.

2. Drill three holes for each Mounting Bracket and attach the bracket to the mounting surfacewith three (3) 3/8-inch diameter bolts or screws of suitable length and type.

Note: Use of other approved hardware is permitted.

3. Place each Cylinder and Valve Assembly on its bracket shelf, tighten the flexible strap andcheck the mounting for proper fit. Make any necessary final adjustments.

5-2.3 Agent Distribution Piping

Note: If a Pressure Operated Release (P/N 874290) is to be used, refer to Paragraph 5-2.7.5.

Install the agent distribution piping as dictated by the layout of the vehicle spray booth beingprotected.

Pipe installation can start with the Discharge Adapter Kit (P/N 844908) or it can start with thenozzles. The 3/4-inch discharge pipe union connects to the Discharge Adapter by means of a3/4-inch elbow. The 1-inch pipe connects to the Discharge Adapter by means of a 3/4-inch to1-inch adapter.

Note: Use of bushings is permitted.

All piping must be Schedule 40, hot dipped, galvanized steel pipe or black steel pipe in non-corrosive environments. All fittings must be a minimum of 150 lb. class. Examples ofacceptable fitting materials include hot dipped, galvanized malleable iron, ductile iron or steel.Couplings and unions may be used where necessary, and reducing bushings or reducing teescan be used for changes in pipe diameter.

Standard pipe hangers or pipe clamps shall be used for support as required. It is important toprovide proper support close to the adapter fitting so that no damage will be done to this fittingwhen the test fixture is attached during system checkout and test.

Before installing the agent distribution piping, ensure that the inside of the pipe is clean andfree of obstructions. Piping shall be reamed and cleaned before assembly. After the piping isinstalled, it must be blown clean with dry air or nitrogen. Pipe thread compound or tape shallnot be used.

CAUTIONDo not exceed the maximum pipe lengths, equivalent pipe lengths or pipe fittinglimitations as defined in Chapter 4 or the system may not operate as intended.

CAUTION

5-2.4.4 ACTUATION

The next step in the installation process is deciding what type of actuation to use. The XVControl System offers the use of mechanical, electrical or a combination of mechanical andelectrical actuation. Mechanical actuation utilizes links (fusible, KGR and/or KGS) to detectheat, whereas electrical actuation utilizes heat detectors for detection. Mechanical andelectrical actuation can be combined together when configured using a UL Listed fire controlpanel, such as the Kidde Scorpio™, Gemini II or PEGAsys™. Figure 5-7 illustrates the steps tofollow when deciding what type of actuation to use.

5-2.5.2 INSTALLING FUSIBLE-LINKS

Install Fusible-Links of proper rating as described Paragraph 3-2.4. To install Fusible-Links,follow the steps below. Always start Fusible-Link installation at the last link, i.e., end-of-linelink (see Figures 5-8, 5-9 and 5-10).

1. To install Fusible-Links, create a cable loop using a Crimp Sleeve (P/N 214951).

Note: In order to ensure the crimp sleeve is secure, the cable must always be looped so thatthere are two lengths of cable inside the Crimp Sleeve before crimping. A single cablemust not be spliced anywhere along its length.

2. Crimp once on each end of the Crimp Sleeve on alternating sides. Use Crimping Tool (P/N253538) for this process.

a. Attach an “S” hook (P/N 87-9189413-000) to the end of the last fusible-linkmounting bracket.

b. Attach proper Fusible-Link onto the “S” hook.

c. Attach 1/16-inch cable to the hook at the other end of the Fusible-Link, forming acable loop held in place by a Crimp Sleeve.

Note: If only one Fusible-Link is used, thread the cable back through the EMT conduit to theXV Control System. If additional links are used, attach the cable to each successiveFusible-Link “S” hook, as described above. After attaching cable to last Fusible-Link “S”hook, thread cable back through the EMT conduit to the XV Control System.

Figure 5-8. Link, Bracket, “S” Hook and Cable Assembly (End-of-Line Link Installation)

CAUTIONTo ensure proper system operation, each link must be installed so that at least1-1/2 in. of cable movement toward the XV Control System is maintained.

5-2.7.4 CABLING MECHANICAL GAS VALVE

Note: The following instructions assume that the cabling will begin from the terminus of theline (gas valve).

The gas valve cable is easier to attach while the cam/flag assembly is in the 'Released'position. Final gas valve cable adjustment must take place when the cam/flag assemblyis in the 'Set' position. The gas valve should be set only after setting the cam/flagassembly.

Bringing the control cable in from the valve, carefully insert the end of the cable into the holein the end of the trigger. Pull enough cable through so that there is slack on the outlet side ofthe trigger. Slip a Cable Crimp (P/N 214951) over the end of the cable. Making a loop, slip theend back through the Cable Crimp. Use the Crimping Tool (P/N 253538) to fasten the CableCrimp to the cable. Cut the loop off of the crimped cable assembly. Cut any loose end off asclose to the Crimp Sleeve as possible.

Pull the cable back through so the crimp rests at the trigger (see Figures 5-15 and 5-16).

To set the gas valve, use the Keeper Pin (P/N 60-9197108-000) to set cam/flag assembly andlock it into the 'Set' position. The gas valve can now be set and adjusted.

To set the gas valve later, the system must be completely set up, with all detection lines in the'Set' position. The cam/flag assembly can then be set and the gas valve can be properlyadjusted.

5-2.7.5.1 High Mounted Microswitch

The High Mounted Microswitch mounts with the paddle(s) facing up into the cam/flagassembly. When in the 'Set' position, the cam/flag assembly pushes down on the paddle(s) ofthe Microswitch. When the cam/flag assembly is released, the Microswitch(es) release andchange position (see Figure 5-22 for wiring diagram, and Figures 5-17 and 5-18 for mounting).

The Microswitches are best mounted when the system is in the 'Released' position. Two pairsof #4 screws are included with each Microswitch kit: 5/8 in. long and 1 in. long x 3/32-inchAllen Key. If mounting a single switch, use the 5/8 in. screws. If mounting two switches, usethe 1-inch long screws. After mounting the Microswitch, turn the cam/flag assembly to the 'Set'position to ensure the paddles move far enough down to change the phase of the Microswitch.Use the included pigtail assembly to connect the Microswitch to the circuit being monitored.

Note: It is recommended that the pigtails be threaded into the port before attempting to plugit onto the Microswitch contacts. All splices and connections should be made in aseparate approved electrical box connected by EMT or other approved conduit. SeeNFPA 70 and 72 for proper wiring guidelines.

5-3.4 Control System Inspection

The purpose of the control system inspection is to ensure that the detection system has beenproperly interfaced to the extinguishing system, and that all required auxiliary functions suchas ventilation shutdown and alarm notification have been achieved. In general, the inspectionmust address the following points:

1. Will each installed detector activate the extinguishing system?

2. Are all cylinders simultaneously activated upon receipt of a single detector signal?

3. Are all auxiliary functions accomplished?

The detailed control system inspection will depend upon the operating characteristics(mechanical, electrical or pneumatic) of the installed fire suppression system.

5-3.5 Mechanical Systems Inspection

The XV Control System must be checked for proper connection to external components. It mustalso be properly set prior to the final system checkout. Before setting the XV Control System,check that:

1. All stainless steel cable to Fusible-Links and Remote Manual Release(s) is protected withconduit or EMT. Conduit runs must be clean and secure.

2. All cable runs to external components enter the proper XV Control System input/outputports and are installed in accordance with the instructions in Chapter 4.

3. There is no branching in the cabling to the Fusible-Links.

4. Stainless steel control cable lengths, and Corner Pulley and Tee Pulley counts are withinListed limits.

5-4 COMMISSIONING THE SYSTEM

5-4.1 Setting the System

The system is now installed. At this time, the fire suppression system should be in the followingcondition:

Note: No cartridges should be installed in the XV Control System at this time.





• For mechanical actuation:



– All conduit and Corner Pulleys are secure, and all Corner Pulleys are capped.

• For electrical actuation:

– Ensure that the Electrical Actuator is secure.


– Test the detection, alarm and releasing circuits according to the listed manual forthe fire control panel.




• The XV Control System contains no cartridges: neither the Test Cartridge, nor the SystemNitrogen Cartridge.

• The detection lines are in the 'Released' position

• The cam/flag assembly is in the 'Released' position

5-4.1.1 ARMING THE SYSTEM

Set the detection beams by turning the ratchet wheels in the direction of the arrows (see Figure5-23).

Tighten the line until the beam reaches the Stop. Do not over tighten.

Note: In long cable lines (over 125 ft. [38 m]) there will be stretch in the control cable and inthe loops for the links. It is important to ensure the control cable is tight without overtightening.

CAUTIONThe actuation latch must be in the horizontal position. If it is in any positionother than horizontal, the system could malfunction.

P/N 83-100036-001 5-31 January 2007

Installation

Figure 5-30. Setting the Detection Beams

Be careful not to allow the control cable to become entangled with any other parts in thesystem. If it does, perform the following steps.

1. Using a 7/8-inch socket slightly turn the ratchet wheel. Do not turn so far that it will clickinto the next step. Using the thumb release on the pawl, release the ratchet and allow itto turn backwards. The beam will move back to the 'Released' position.

2. Untangle the control cable and guide it onto the spool while ratcheting. Once there istension, there should be no more entanglement.

3. Using a 7/8-inch socket, carefully ratchet up the slack in the control cable lines (see Figure5-24 and Table 5-6). Tighten the line until the beam reached the stop. Do not overtighten.

Note: The actuation latch should now be in the horizontal position. If it is not, check to ensurethe Remote Manual Release control cable is not interfering with the actuation latch andthat the actuation latch swings freely.

CAUTION

If the Remote Manual Release control cable is interfering with the freemovement of the actuation latch, it might require re-cabling. If there issomething else interfering with the free movement of the actuation latch, takeappropriate corrective action. If it is determined that the interference is due toa mechanical fault of the XV Control System, it must be replaced and returnedto the factory.

10. Remove the spent cartridge used for the functional test.

11. Discard the spent cartridge in an appropriate manner (see Paragraph 5-4.3.1). Check toensure the detection lines are set. Reset the cam/flag assembly and reinstall the KeeperPin into the cam/flag assembly.

Note: Ensure the Microswitches are setting properly. Check the deep mount Microswitches toensure the trigger pin is under the paddles of the Microswitches and is pushing themup. Check the high mount Microswitches to ensure the cam/flag assembly is pushingdown on the paddles.

WARNING

The system uses high pressure. Safety goggles or glasses must be worn.

All pressure must be released from the actuation lines before resetting thecam/flag assembly. Failure to do so will cause the head of the puncture pin toprotrude through the port, exposing the O-ring. This could result in the O-ringbeing damaged, thereby causing malfunction or non-function of the system, asdesigned. Always ensure that the pressure has been released before resettingthe cam/flag assembly.

WARNINGTo avoid accidental discharge later in the service sequence, it is important tocompletely disconnect the fitting outside the XV Control System.

5-4.3.1 DISPOSAL OF CARTRIDGE

The following are the recommend instructions for disposal of spent cartridges.

Determine if gas is present in the cartridge. All puncturable type disposable cartridges arepresumed to be fully charged unless the small puncturable end (opposite of the roundedbottom) is clearly punctured. If the puncture is not clear, the cartridge may be weighed usinga scale capable of reading in grams accurate to 0.1 g. The weight of the cartridge shall beless than the indicated weight imprinted on the side of the cartridge by the amountof the indicated charge.

After using one of the methods described to determine that no gas is present in the cartridge,the cartridge may be placed with normal refuse, or may be placed with steel recyclingmaterials. All of the steel cartridges are produced from a low carbon (14) steel product. Onceempty, no residue remains. Cross cutting or sectioning is not required.

Figure 5-37. XV Control System, Armed

WARNING

Never dispose of a pressurized cartridge. Cartridges must be discharged beforediscarding. Filled gas cartridges may be dangerous if not handled properly. Donot heat cartridges above 120°F (49°C). Pressurized cartridges that becomeoverheated can explode, and thereby cause property damage, severe personalinjury, and possibly death.

6-3.2 Functional Testing of the System

Note: These tests are meant as a complete mechanical functional test. They are not meant asan agent discharge or air/nitrogen test.

6-3.2.1 AGENT DISTRIBUTION PIPING

The agent distribution piping must be blown clear with dry air or nitrogen to clean out thesystem and to check for any leaks or obstructions.

6-3.2.2 MECHANICAL LINK LINES

To test the mechanical link lines, perform the following steps:

1. Go to the far end of the line. Cut the link.

2. Check to ensure the rotation of detection spool and beam assembly is as intended.

3. Check each link and bracket to ensure the travel distance of the cable. Make sure the linehas operated without interference at any place in the system.

4. Replace all of the links in the detection line.

5. Set the detection beams by turning the ratchet wheels in the direction of the arrows (seeFigure 6-8).

Tighten the line until the beam reaches the Stop. Do not over tighten.

Note: In long cable lines (over 125 feet) there will be stretch in the cable and in the loops forthe links. It is important to ensure the cable is tight without over tightening.

6. If more than one detection line is being used, repeat steps 1 through 5.

WARNING

Under no circumstances while performing cylinder recharge should a chargedcylinder be allowed to “free stand” without either the charging apparatusattached or the anti-recoil plate installed. Whenever these devices are notinstalled, a charged cylinder must be securely clamped to a rigid structurecapable of withstanding the full thrust that would result should the valveinadvertently open.

WARNING

Ensure that all System Nitrogen Cartridges have been removed from the XVControl System before proceeding.

Improper usage of the lockouts will cause a malfunction or non-function of thesystem.

WARNING

Do not use water or oxygen to blow out agent distribution piping. Moisture willcause blockage. The use of oxygen is very dangerous as the possible presenceof even a minute quantity of oil may cause an explosion, thereby causing death,serious personal injury and/or property damage.

CAUTION

The mechanical link lines are under tension. Wearing safety glasses and glovesis required during this process.

Before cutting a link, ensure the System Nitrogen Cartridge is not installed inthe XV Control System and that the Keeper Pin is in place in the cam/flagassembly.

7. Be careful not to allow the control cable to become entangled with any other parts in theXV Control System. If it does, perform the following steps:

a. Using a 7/8-inch socket slightly turn the ratchet. Do not turn so far that it will clickinto the next step. Using the thumb release on the pawl, release the ratchet andallow it to turn backwards. The beam will move back to the 'Released' position.

b. Untangle the control cable and guide it onto the spool while ratcheting. Once thereis tension, there should be no more entanglement.

c. Using a 7/8-inch socket, carefully ratchet up the slack in the control cable lines(see Figure 6-9 and Table 6-4). Tighten the line until the beam reached the stop.Do not overtighten.

Note: The actuation latch should now be in the horizontal position. If it is not, check to ensurethe Remote Manual Release control cable is not interfering with the actuation latch andthat the actuation latch swings freely.

CAUTION

If the Remote Manual Release control cable is interfering with the freemovement of the actuation latch, it might require re-cabling. If there issomething else interfering with the free movement of the actuation latch, takeappropriate corrective action. If it is determined that the interference is due toa mechanical fault of the XV Control System, it must be replaced and returnedto the factory.

1. Secure the Actuation Delay hose to the outlet of the XV Control System.

2. After ensuring that the system is in the 'Set' position and the Keeper Pin is in place, locatethe System Nitrogen Cartridge (P/N 87-120043-001). Carefully install the System NitrogenCartridge into the valve assembly of the XV Control System. Tighten until cartridge is snug(see Figure 6-12).


Figure 6-12. XV Control System, System Nitrogen Cartridge

3. Locate the cover of the XV Control System. Ensure that the local manual remote handle isset and that the safety pin is inserted (refer to Figure 6-1). The handle should be locked inthe set position. If the handle can turn, adjust until the pin can be inserted all the waythrough the handle into the body of the cover.

Note: Installation of a tamper wire seal can prevent the pin from slipping out.

CAUTION

Do not attempt to push the puncture pin down. Pushing the puncture pin too farcan cause the O-ring to move to the valve bore. This could cause the O-ring tochip or break upon actuation of the system, and thereby possibly cause thesystem to malfunction. Inserting the System Nitrogen Cartridge will push thepuncture pin down to the proper location in the valve bore.

CAUTION

While the cover is resting on the XV Control System enclosure, moving itupward could engage the local manual release with the latch, causing the XVControl System to release. Keep the cover as centered as possible whileperforming this step.

4. Remove the Keeper Pin from the XV Control System cam/flag assembly. Carefully installthe cover onto the XV Control System enclosure. The cover has a tongue that fits into thegroove of the XV Control System enclosure. Center the cover over the XV Control Systemenclosure and fit the tongue and groove together.


Note: The Valve Protection Plate should remain on the top of the cylinder until directed toremove it.

6. Pull the safety pin and turn the handle in the direction of the arrow about 1/8-turn. Thesystem will fire, pressurizing the actuating lines.

Note: Do not loosen any of the fittings on the actuating lines at this time.

7. Using a timer or a watch with a second hand, time how long between turning the lever ofthe XV Control System and the point at which the Actuation Delay metering device comesout. When the actuation indicator (located on the bottom of the Actuation Delay) comesout, the SVAs downstream will actuate. This will take approximately 10 to 20 seconds.

8. Inspect the actuating lines and SVAs for leakage. Each SVA piston must be in the releasedposition (down) and locked. Check each piston to ensure that it is fully extended and thespring-loaded plunger is extended.

Note: If any leakage is observed, appropriate steps must be taken to implement correctiveaction. However, pressure should be bled off before any action is implemented on theactuating lines.

9. After ensuring there is no leakage, loosen the swivel fitting located at the bottom right sideof the XV Control System. Allow the pressure to vent slowly. When the pressure iscompletely vented, disconnect the fitting and remove the cover.

Note: It is important to completely disconnect the fitting outside the XV Control System (seeFigure 6-13).

The Actuation Delay requires approximately 10 minutes to reset itself. Do not installcartridges or actuation fittings until the actuation indicator (located on the bottom ofthe Actuation Delay) has reset into the body of the assembly.

CAUTION

The system uses high pressure. Safety goggles or glasses must be worn.

All pressure must be released from the actuation lines before resetting thecam/flag assembly. Failure to do so will cause the head of the puncture pin toprotrude through the port, exposing the O-ring. This could result in the O-ringbeing damaged, thereby causing malfunction or non-function of the system, asdesigned. Always ensure that the pressure has been released before resettingthe cam/flag assembly.

3. Blow any dry chemical residual from the valve, siphon tube and cylinder threads.

4. Visually inspect the entire inside and outside surface of the cylinder per CGA Pamphlet C-6.

5. Replace the valve stem (P/N 877343), the valve spring (P/N 217768), the spring retainer(P/N 253299), the retaining ring check (P/N 1849-0004), and the valve stem O-ring (P/N6435-0006). Put a light coating of Dow Corning No. 55M grease, or equivalent, on the valvestem O-ring. Do not grease the bonded seal on valve check (see Figure 6-18).

Figure 6-18. Valve Assembly, Cutaway

6. Replace the Valve to Cylinder O-ring (P/N 5661-0327).

WARNING

Under no circumstances while performing cylinder recharge should a chargedcylinder be allowed to “free stand” without either the charging apparatusattached or the anti-recoil plate installed. Whenever these devices are notinstalled, a charged cylinder must be securely clamped to a rigid structurecapable of withstanding the full thrust that would result should the valveinadvertently open. Refer to the Safety Summary for more informationregarding pressurized cylinders.

CAUTION

Do not attempt to recharge any cylinder with out first checking for lasthydrostatic test date. The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) has ruledthat any pressurized container of the type used in dry chemical systems shallnot be recharged or transported with out first being inspected internally andexternally and hydrostatically tested if more than five (5) years have elapsedsince the date of the last hydrostatic test. Regardless of previous inspectiondates, it is illegal to refill any pressurized container that leaks, which bulges,has defective safety devices, bears evidence of physical abuse, fire or heatdamage, or detrimental rusting or corrosion, until it is properly repaired andrequalified as specified in DOT regulations.

APPENDIX AELECTRICAL DETECTION INSTALLATION

(DETECT-A-FIRE®)
A-1 INTRODUCTION
DETECT-A-FIRE® thermal detectors are UL and ULC Listed (available upon request), and FMApproved detection and release devices used with fire detection systems to activate alarms andactuate extinguishing systems. This Rate Compensated device combines the best features ofboth fixed temperature and rate-of-rise detectors.

1 Although incandescent lamps are considered resistive, their inrush current is 10 - 15 times their steady cur-rent. Do not exceed ratings.

A-2 LOCATION

DETECT-A-FIRE® Units are precision temperature sensors. They must be mounted in an area(normally a ceiling) so that:

1. The detector spacing complies with both system requirements and requirements of thelocal Agency Having Jurisdiction.

2. The thermal air path to the shell is not obstructed.

Spacing per UL, FM, and UL of Canada is shown in Table A-2. Distances given are for betweenunits on smooth ceilings. Distances from partitions or walls are half that shown. To assure thatall spacing requirements are met, consult the local Authority Having Jurisdiction.

A-3 MOUNTING

Detect-A-Fire units are not position sensitive. Horizontal and vertical detectors refer to themost common mounting configuration for that unit. However, each type can be mounted eitherhorizontally or vertically depending on the application and installation requirements.
