Inspection
Inspect all system components, agent distribution pipe, and conduit runs for physical damage and/or
displacement.
displacement
Inspect all nozzles to see if protective caps (if applicable) are in place. Check for possible
obstructions to the discharge of the dry chemical.
Inspect all detectors (Fusible-links and Thermo-bulbs) for contamination. If contamination is found,
contact an authorized Pre-Engineered Distributor for service.
Inspect each Cylinder and Valve Assembly. The pointer on the pressure gauge should be in the
“green” range. The cylinder should not show evidence of corrosion or damage.
Inspect manual pull stations are unobstructed and in clear view and labeled for intended use.
Inspect all tamper seals are intact and the system is in a ready condition.
A record of the monthly inspection is to be kept reflecting the date inspected, initials of the person
performing the inspection, and any corrections required.
If wall mounted, the XV/UCH Control System must be tightly bolted to the wall. If cylinder mounted,
the XV/UCH Control System must be tightly bolted to the SVA. The Cam/Flag on the XV/UCH Control
System indicator should point to the ‘Set’ position. The safety pin and seal wire on the local manual
release handle should be in place. Refer to Figure 5-1. If no Remote Manual Release is installed, the
path to the local manual release on the cylinder should be clear and unobstructed and within reach.
If any discrepancies are noted while making this inspection, DO NOT CONTINUE OPERATING
HAZARDOUS PROCESSES OR TURN ON PROTECTED EQUIPMENT. Immediately contact an authorized
Distributor for service and/or repair.

Maintenance
• According to NFPA, cylinders are due for hydrostatic
retest everyy 12 yyears
– Discharge and replace chemical
– Replace all gaskets and stems
• Valve Rebuild Kit
Servicing
• Secure cylinder while working on it
– Discharging,
Discharging especially
• Do not keep the chemical
• Hydrostatic testing
– Check cylinder for integrity before pressure test
• Visual check
• Hammer test
– Water jacket method is the best
– Make sure cylinder is quickly dried out
• Mild steel rusts quickly
Servicing
• Always
y use manufacturer’s dryy chemical
– UL tests performed with our own dry chemicals
– UL takes samples
– Always use new chemical
