EQUIPMENT: FM-200°(UL/FM) PUBLICATION: 14A-07H ISSUE No. 02 SECTION1-INTRODUCTION DATE: 2010-03 About this Manual Introduction This manual is a prehensive guide that contains all FM-200° is a clean safe fire fighting agent for use in total the information necessary to design install and maintain flooding automatic extinguishing systems. It is intended the FM-200° Engineered Extinguishing system. However as a long temm replacement for Halon 1301 and whilst the manual does not address information relating to fire maintaining the excellent fire suppression properties of detection. Halon has none of the environmental problems. Storage Users of this manual are assumed to be petent and distribution requirements are similar to Halon and the fire engineers with a basic knowledge of such systems. majority of system ponents are identical. However The contents are arranged in a logical order describing the FM-200° is not a direct replacement for existing Halon various procedures in turn altematively specific sections 1301 installations due to the difference in agent quantity can be referred to as required. Users who are not familiar and discharge characteristics. The minimum FM-200* with the equipment should first read the plete design concentration for Class A hazards is 6.4% for UL manual. Listed systems or 7.17% for FM Approved systems and for Class B hazard is at least 9.0%. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Definitions accepts use in normally occupied areas where the further been confirmed by the HalonAlternative Group concentration doesn’t exceed 9%. The safe use criteria has FM-200* FM-200* is a registered trade mark of (HAG) report. Refer to NFPA 2001 2008 edition *Clean the Du Pont. Agent Fire Extinguishing Systems ” Section 1-5 “Safety " for adkditional exposure requirements. System o o sajau uss enueu s u] Thesystems described in this manual are *engineered'. extinguishingequipment and does not FM-200° containers modularised ormanifolded together Engineered systems for example may consist of several include any detection system which may initiate an agent release. oqmu udd pe nozzles. Engineered Hydralic flow program used to Systems may be activated mechanically orelectrically. predict the two phase flow of FM-200* through a pipe network. Mechanical manual actuation is via a manual actuator aftached to the container valve. Electrical actuation is via a removable side mounted solenoidor a top mounted Contacts electrical actuator. Actuation can ocur automatically via a signal from a detection and alamm control panel.
