VEHICLE OVERVIEW
WEIGHT: 1157420 lb (525000 kg)
TEREX CAPACITY: 34.01 yd3 (26 m3)
NOTE:
Dual agent systems combine the fast knockdown properties of A:B:C dry chemical powder with the suppression and cooling properties of the AFEX
liquid agent for greater effectiveness and to reduce the chance of fire reflash. NFPA 122, Chapter 12.3.6.1.1, requires dual agent protection for hydraulic
shovels with greater than 150 gal (567.8L) of hydraulic fluid.
SYSTEM FEATURES:
CONTROL UNIT Satisfies NFPA 17, Chapter 5.7.2.1: Supervision of electrically or pneumatically operated automatic systems
shall be provided unless specifically waived by the authority having jurisdiction.
FIRING MECHANISM Satisfies NFPA 17, Chapter 9.9.7: At least one easily accessible manual actuator or operating device shall
be provided for use by the equipment operator.
REMOTE ACTUATOR Satisfies NFPA 17, Chapter 9.9.8: An additional manual actuator or operating device shall be located so that
it is in the path of egress and operable from ground level.
ENGINE SHUTDOWN Satisfies NFPA 17, Chapter 5.5.2: Where systems protect hazards that have flowing flammable or
combustible fluids or gases, the systems shall be provided with automatic means to ensure shutoff of power
and fuel valves upon operation of the extinguishing systems.
INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS:
The guidelines below are minimum recommendations. The system may include additional nozzles or sensors that should be used to address additional fire risks
that are identified in the fire risk assessment. Linear wire may also be used for detection. Special attention should be paid to certain hazard areas such as, but not
limited to, turbochargers, exhausts, hydraulic connections to pumps, valves and tanks, transmissions, starters, alternators, and additional fuel and heat sources.
Revised 2/7/2013
This information is only a guideline and does not provide definitive rules or specifications. Due to variations in vehicle models and accessories, the actual installation may vary from that listed above. All installations
should include a detailed fire risk analysis as described by NFPA 122 and the AFEX service manual.
The purpose of a fire suppression system is to mitigate fire damage to the equipment. The system cannot be designed or expected to extinguish all fires. As with all mechanical equipment, AFEX Fire Suppression
Systems require regular maintenance to assure they will operate safely and effectively.
In accordance with the manufacturers’ or designers’ recommended inspection and maintenance procedures and schedules, all fire suppression systems, including alarms, shutdowns, and other associated
equipment, shall be thoroughly examined and checked for proper operation by competent personnel. (NFPA 122)
