NOVEC EXTINGUISHING SYSTEM

WARNING

1. Control heads must be removed from NOVEC cylinders and

nitrogen pilot cylinders prior to testing to avoid accidental cylinder
discharge.

2. Control Heads must have safety caps installed immediately when

discharge hoses or valve outlet adapter is disconnected.

3. Disconnect wiring for shutdown of HVAC or Gas Turbine.

PROCEDURES

1. The entire NOVEC System should be completely inspected.

A). AGENT SUPPLY

Check and Write o.k. if normal x if not.

*Pressure ( )

(If pressure gauge indicates a

pressure loss of more than 10%, it
must be recharged.)

*Weight of NOVEC ( )

(If weight loss is more than 5%, the

unit must be recharged with
NOVEC gas)
 * Containers Corroded ( )

(If containers are found to be corroded

it must be serviced and changed).

* Containers Bracketing ( )

* Containers Supports ( )

(Supports or brackets shall be changed if there is

corrosion if not fitted with the cylinders)
