COMMISSIONING
Section 1.0 – Introduction

The first chapter describes the methods for the successful commissioning of the fire
protection skid.

The commissioning is carried out in four separate phases described below.

• Preliminary Connections

• Functional Testing

• Visual Inspection

• Arming the system

1.0.1 Receiving Equipment

The equipment is supplied in a “safe” condition to prevent carbon dioxide cylinder operation
during transit. As a result, additional work is required such as final connections to make the
equipment ready for operation.

The following measures are taken to achieve safety during transit.

• The cylinders are secured in position with transport racking.

• Cylinders are lowered to the base of the cabinet.
• The cylinder discharge outlet port is fitted with an anti-recoil cap.
• The flexible discharge hose is disconnected from the cylinder valve.
• The cylinder weighing device counter weight is lowered to its operated position.
• The solenoid actuator is removed.

Note: Cable ties will secure disconnected devices; these will need to be removed during
commissioning works.

Note: ALL EQUIPMENT SHOULD BE HANDLED WITH CARE, AS HIGH PRESSURE

CARBON DIOXIDE CYLINDERS ARE INCLUDED IN THE INSTALLATION.

The carbon dioxide cylinders are at high pressure.

The anti-recoil cap must be fitted to the valve outlet and the protection cap must be fitted
before removing the carbon dioxide cylinders.

Normal pressure vessel handling precautions must be observed.

Safety clothing (footwear, glasses and hard hats) must be worn when carrying out
installation and maintenance.

Should it be necessary to remove a cylinder from the cabinet, suitable lifting

equipment/trolley must be used.

Each cylinder’s weight monitoring device has a counter weight that is cable tied for transit
purposes. Care should be taken on removal, as a falling weight will cause injury.
 Figure 1

When the protection cap is removed the recessed actuating pin will be exposed. Care should
be taken to ensure the pin is not pressed.

Never use the cylinder valve to turn or move the cylinder.

Never fit any release device to a cylinder valve until it is secured in its final location and
connected to the discharge pipework.

1.0.2 Loose Equipment

The skid is provided with the following loose materials, which do not form part of the
system operation.

Cylinder transport protection caps. These will be required in the event of cylinder re-filling.
It should be noted that carriers would refuse to transport cylinders without the necessary
protection.

Cylinder valve solenoid port protection caps, which should be retained for transit.
CO2 Cabinet Assembly – Weather Protected – Figure 2
Section 1.1 – Preliminary Equipment Connections
The following instructions are laid out in the order in which the tasks should be completed to
maintain safety. Reference should be made to Chapter 2 of this manual concerning hazards
and safety.

1.1.1. Preconditions
The following conditions/work shall be completed prior to skid commissioning.

• Turbine shut down.

• Control/Monitoring System Commissioned, see Operating and Maintenance Handbook for
Controls Systems.
• Field devices commissioned with the exception of extinguishant actuator circuits.
• Control panel is in quiescent mode with extinguishant actuator circuits disconnected.
• Pipework installation completed and a purge test carried out.
• The extinguishant isolate ball valve should be closed to prevent accidental operation of
carbon dioxide into the risk during preliminary works.

1.1.2 Procedure for setting the cylinder in position.

1.1.2.1 Move cylinder front securing strap to its operational position.

Figure 3
Typical plan view of cylinder racking inside skid.
1.1.2.2 Raise the cylinder into its operational position by turning the M12 nut on the top of the
weigh beam. The cylinder should be raised until the top of the weight monitoring unit body
is approx 10mm from the underside of the weigh beam (See figures 4 & 4a). Cylinder should
be approximately 10 mm from the floor.

Figure 4

Figure 4a
1.1.2.3 Remove the anti recoil cap and connect the discharge hose to the cylinder valve outlet.
(Store the anti recoil cap in safe place for future transit use). Adjust the height of the
cylinder as necessary using the M12 nut on the weigh beam to ensure the discharge hose is
under no strain. The discharge hose is already connected into the manifold. Check the
manifold connection is tightened.
Important: Check Co2 cylinders are positioned as shown in figure 5a. Position ensures
solenoid assembly, vent valves and hose do not clash with weight monitoring hanger rods.

Figure 5

Figure 5a
1.1.2.4 Raise the weighing device counter balance weight to its monitoring position. The weight will
be retained in the upper position as the counter balance weight is set to its correct monitoring
position prior to dispatch.

Figure 6

Note: In the event of difficulty a full procedure for setting the weighing device is
included in Appendix ‘B’
Section 1.2 – Functional Testing

Note: Functional testing is carried out by Tyco Fire prior to delivery of the extinguishant
cabinet.

Functional testing shall be carried out to prove:

• Weight monitoring operation.

• Discharge pressure switch signal operation.
• Actuator circuit operation.

1.2.1 Weight Monitoring Circuits

There are two weight-monitoring circuits (Initial/Reserve)

Each weight-monitoring unit should be tested to prove a signal is received at the
Control/Monitoring System. The weight monitoring mechanism (See Figure 6) should be
manually lowered to its operated position, note that a signal is received at the
Control/Monitoring System. Return the mechanism to its monitoring position and repeat on
all other cylinders.

1.2.2 Discharge Pressure Switches (Initial/Reserve)

The pressure switches are factory set to operate at 4 bar rising. The test procedure is
therefore by simulation only. For ongoing maintenance see Chapter 3. To simulate the
switch operation, gently lift the microswitch (See Figure 7) and the switch contact will be
made. Check the Control/Monitoring System for the following conditions.

Initial Discharge Pressure Switch

a. System discharge LED on

b. Alarm LED on

Reserve discharge pressure switch

a. System reserve LED on

b. Alarm LED on
Figure 7
1.2.3 Actuator Circuit Test

Note: The solenoid operation is confirmed during system discharge test (if required) or
enclosure integrity test.
This test will entail operating both initial and reserve actuator circuits simultaneously. The
logic of the actuator circuits and time delay should have already been proven in the
Control/Monitoring System commissioning.
Note: To carry out this test all discharge hoses (Initial/Reserve) shall be removed from
their cylinder valves and anti-recoil caps fitted.

1.2.3.1 Test Procedure (Refer to Figure 8)

a) Ensure that the safety pins are installed in all cylinder valves and mechanical release
lever is fitted to the solenoid operated cylinder valve assembly.
b) Disconnect discharge hose from the cylinder valve of each cylinder on the cylinder bank
to be tested.
c) Fit a new or unused hexagonal valve anti-recoil cap to each cylinder valve outlet and
tighten the cap securely (torque setting 20 to 50 Nm).
Note: a hexagonal valve outlet cap is supplied with each CO2 cylinder assembly.
d) Check the solenoid pilot hose connections are tightened down.
e) Check pilot vent valve is installed on each valve assembly.
f) Fit the actuator solenoid (Initial/Reserve) and secure with locking nut.
g) Simulate a fire condition by using manual release test key. This will cause operation of
the pilot operating circuits initial solenoid after 30 seconds and reserve solenoid after a
further 5 seconds.
h) Reset the Control/Monitoring System, 60 seconds after simulating fire condition.
i) At the carbon dioxide skid, check each solenoid cylinder valve has operated. The pistons
on each valve should be seen to protrude approximately 25mm. The safety lock off pins
will inhibit final stage of valve opening.
j) Remove the actuator solenoid (Initial/Reserve) by removing the locking nut and sliding
actuator off the solenoid assembly pin.
k) Depress the bleed button on the pilot vent to relieve carbon dioxide pressure in the pilot
circuit.
l) Using the mechanical release lever, reset the CO2 cylinder valves to the set (armed)
position.
m) Carefully unscrew the anti-recoil cap from the CO2 cylinder valve outlet. There should
be no pressure behind the caps.
n) Reconnect the discharge hose to the CO2 cylinder valves.
o) Fit the actuator solenoid (Initial/Reserve) and secure with locking nut.
p) When all the discharge hoses have been reconnected to all CO2 cylinder valves, remove
the safety pin from each CO2 cylinder valve. Warning: With the safety pins removed
the CO2 cylinders are armed.

WARNING: Checking the operation of the CO2 cylinder valve & solenoid assemblies
should only be carried out by a suitable qualified engineer.
 Figure 8

Note: The solenoid-operated valve is intentionally left installed at all times. Removal of the
solenoid valve may cause damage or loss of the ‘O’ ring seal. For removal instructions
refer to Appendix ‘A’ Cylinder Removal.
 1.2.3.2 Resetting Procedure
Note: The solenoid actuator is a non-latching device, resetting the Control/Monitoring
System will reset the solenoid actuation.

• Ensure the Control/Monitoring System is reset.

• Remove the actuator solenoid-locking nut and detach the solenoid from the solenoid-
operated valve. This will close off the pilot supply.

• Depress the bleed button on the pilot vent to relieve carbon dioxide pressure in the pilot
circuit.

• Using the mechanical release lever, reset the CO2 cylinder valves to the set (armed)
position.

• Carefully unscrew the anti-recoil cap from the CO2 cylinder valve outlet. There should
be no pressure behind the cap.

• Reconnect the discharge hose to the CO2 cylinder valves.

Section 1.3 - Arming the System

All parties should be made aware and access to the protected area should be restricted.

Refitting the actuator solenoid.

Fit the actuator solenoid after firstly ensuring that the Control/Monitoring System is fully
reset.

Each skid assembly is fitted with two pilot circuits to operate initial/reserve cylinders.

Check that the weight monitoring device is in its monitored position (See Figure 6).

Remove safety lock off pins (See Figure 9) from all the CO2 cylinder valves.

Important – with safety lock pins in place the system will not operate.

Open system isolate valves located on extinguishant pipe work to risk area.

Notify key personnel that the CO2 system is operational.

Note: Should the piston not return to it’s set position either the pilot line has not been fully
vented or the solenoid valve has not re-seated properly. Manually vent the line using pilot vent
and refer back to resetting instruction 1.2.3.2

Figure 9

Note: Each cylinder valve is fitted with a pilot vent.

OPERATION
Section 2.0 - Introduction

2.0.1 An extinguishant system is provided comprising of the following equipment:

• An extinguishant skid complete with bottles, weight monitoring, valves and
actuation/monitoring electrical equipment.
• Piping with isolation valve and position switches.
• Discharge nozzles (positioned within the acoustic enclosure).

2.0.2 The extinguishant equipment is for emergency use. Its correct operation requires the
apparatus to be in perfect working condition at all times. Regular routine
maintenance should be carried out to ensure the system remains functional at all
times.

2.0.3 All extinguishant hardware is skid mounted to suit the client’s requirements. Each
electrical device located within the extinguishant assembly is fully monitored on
input/output circuits via the fire and gas control and monitoring system.

2.0.4 The extinguishant agent used for this application is Carbon Dioxide.
At atmospheric pressure carbon dioxide is a colourless, odourless and an electrically
non-conducting inert gas, which is almost 1.5 times as dense as air. It is stored as a
liquid under pressure, and 1Kg of liquid carbon dioxide expanded to atmospheric
pressure will produce approximately 0.52m³ of free gas at a temperature of 10°C.

2.0.5 Carbon dioxide extinguishes fire by reducing the oxygen content of the atmosphere
to a point where it will not support combustion. Reducing the oxygen content from
the normal 21% in air to 15% will extinguish most surface fires. In some
applications the cooling effect of carbon dioxide may also assist extinction.
Typically for turbine application the oxygen levels will be reduced to below 12%.

2.0.6 Carbon dioxide provides its own pressure for discharging through valves, pipework
and nozzles, penetrating into otherwise inaccessible locations.

2.1.2 General System Description

The extinguishant skid assembly houses extinguishant equipment in accordance with

the contract requirements.

Each cylinder is connected to an overhead manifold using flexible discharge hoses,

each manifold port is fitted with a check valve. The check valve is installed to allow
for cylinder removal whilst maintaining operation.

The manifold incorporates further check valves (100% redundancy) to allow for
positive differentiation between initial and reserve discharge signals. Flexible pilot
loops are connected from the manifold to the relevant discharge pressure switch
(initial/reserve).

The manifold is connected to a network of discharge pipework and nozzles, with

pipe diameters and nozzle orifices sized to achieve the required rates of application.
Connections are provided off the carbon dioxide pipework to operate dampers.

An isolation ball valve is installed within the discharge pipework outside the
protected area at an accessible level. This device allows the carbon dioxide supply to
be manually isolated. The ball valve is supplied with limit switches to provide
electrical confirmation of operation (open and closed) back to the turbine
Control/Monitoring System.
2.1.3. Type of System (Total Flood)

The system is designed to achieve an extinguishing concentration of 37% carbon

dioxide within one minute and maintain a minimum 50% concentration for 20
minutes to allow cool down of surface temperatures and avoid re-ignition.

2.1.4 Hazards to Personnel

The reduction of oxygen content in the air, caused by a carbon dioxide concentration
sufficient to extinguish fire, will create atmospheres that will not sustain life.

Carbon dioxide is normally colourless but when discharged from a storage cylinder
under pressure it resembles a cloud of steam. Large volume discharges of carbon
dioxide may seriously interfere with visibility during and immediately after the
discharge period.

The rapid release of a large quantity of carbon dioxide results in a substantial

localised cooling of the discharge pipework and the area surrounding the point of
discharge. This can present a frostburn hazard. During the process of carbon dioxide
being released, frosting of the discharge pipework and cylinders will occur.
Personnel must not touch the pipework and cylinders, hazard notices are provided to
warn of this danger.

The removal of cylinders should be carried out using suitable lifting and transport
equipment.

When working on a cylinder the weight monitoring counter balance weight should be
temporarily tied in position, a falling weight will cause injury.
2.1.5 Safety Summary

The discharge of large amounts of carbon dioxide used to fight fires may cause
hazards to personnel as described in section 2.1.4 above.

Exposure to atmospheres containing about 5% carbon dioxide leads to shortness of

breath and causes slight headaches. At 10% headaches, visual disturbance, ringing in
the ears (tinnitus) and tremors are caused, followed by the loss of consciousness.

The fire extinguishing concentration of carbon dioxide in the turbine enclosure is in

excess of 30% and carries the risk of almost immediate asphyxiation.

The gas is also denser than air and will drift and accumulate in low spaces.
Thorough ventilation of discharged carbon dioxide should be carried out and the area
declared safe prior to re-entry. Consideration should also be given as to where the
carbon dioxide would be vented to and if this would result in accumulation in other
areas.

Since the turbine enclosure area is not normally occupied, the carbon dioxide system
may be left on fully automatic control i.e. release of the carbon dioxide system is
initiated by automatic fire detection equipment.

The system may be set to manual-only operation, by using a keyswitch located at the
Control/Monitoring System if required.

Prior to entry into an enclosure where carbon dioxide has been present the ventilation
system should be run for 5 minutes and it is recommended a portable carbon dioxide
‘sniffer’ should be used.

Entry to the turbine enclosure/protected area should only be permitted after closing
the carbon dioxide supply isolate ball valve located on the discharge pipework that is
adjacent to the extinguishing system skid and putting the discharge system into
manual via the control system. Switch contacts on the ball valve are used to provide
a signal to the turbine Control/Monitoring System.

Enclosure door warning notices are positioned on the turbine enclosure to warn of
the dangers of entering the enclosure with the carbon dioxide system active.
Section 2.2– System Operation

2.2.1 Automatic (Electrical) Operation

The fire detection Control/Monitoring System provides a 24V signal to the solenoid
actuator assembly. Operation of the solenoid causes a pilot valve to open and the
master cylinder pressure is allowed to enter the pilot circuit. Operation of the
cylinder actuator(s) causes the cylinder discharge valve(s) to open and the carbon
dioxide is discharged into the system via the flexible discharge hose. The pilot circuit
consists of small bore interconnecting pilot loops connecting each cylinder valve
actuator to achieve simultaneous discharge. Each cylinder valve is fitted with a pilot
vent that is normally open to allow for possible fluctuations in pressure and safeguard
against unwanted discharge. On operation of the pilot valve the pilot vent will close
in order to maintain pilot operating pressure for the discharge duration. (See figure
10)

Figure 10 – Solenoid Actuator Assembly

2.2.2 Emergency Manual Operation.

System operation via manual lever actuator.

This mechanical release facility is only intended for use in the event of automatic or
electrical manual release failure.

Note: Operation of the individual cylinder actuators are available at all times
and is not inhibited by auto inhibit.

Manual release of carbon dioxide is achieved by operation of the lever actuator,

fitted to the pneumatic actuator, actuator through its complete 90 degrees movement
causes the firing piston to release the cylinder valve-actuating pin. This action would
result in releasing the extinguishant agent from the cylinder. (See Figure 10a)

Figure 10a
2.2.3 Extinguishant Discharge Manifold and Pipework.

As previously described the manifold consists of three sections of pipe with the use
of check valves i.e. initial/reserve manifolds feeding into a common manifold.

Flexible hoses are provided to allow free movement of cylinders for the weight
monitoring system and to facilitate ease of disconnection.

Flexible hoses are connected to check valves. The check valves allow removal of a
cylinder whilst retaining protection.
(See Figure 11)

Figure 11– Discharge/Pilot Hoses and Check Valve Arrangements

 A directional check valve is fitted between the initial and reserve cylinder
manifolds. This additional check valve is fitted to provide protection against
unwanted operation of the reserve ‘Gas Released’ pressure switch from the initial
system discharge.
(See Figure 12)

Figure 12 – Gas Released Pressure Switches

2.2.4 Manifold Burst Disc Assembly

Should the system be discharged with the risk isolation ball valve closed then the
manifold and flexible discharge hoses would be pressurised to full system pressure.
As a safety measure the manifold is fitted with a burst disc assembly so that if the
pressure in the manifold should rise above 190 bar (as a result of high temperature)
the disc would rupture and allow a controlled release of the carbon dioxide within the
cabinet.

Figure 13– Manifold Burst Disc Assembly

2.2.5 Cylinder Weight Monitoring Equipment

The weight monitoring mechanism is a device used to automatically monitor the

weight of a fixed fire extinguishant cylinder. The system operates by suspending the
cylinder approximately 10mm above the skid base and uses a counterbalance weight
system. When correctly adjusted the counterbalance weight is held up by the weight
of the extinguishant cylinder. If the cylinder weight falls by a pre-determined
amount, typically 10%, the counterbalance weight drops, operating a micro-switch
and sends a warning signal to the monitoring control system.

Each cylinder weight monitoring assembly is pre-set during assembly of the

extinguishing skid.

If cylinders are removed and replaced, it is essential that the weight monitoring
system is adjusted in accordance with maintenance procedures to accommodate the
new cylinders

MAINTENANCE
Section 3.0 - Maintenance
3.0.1 This part of the manual describes procedures that will enable a proficient Service
Engineer to undertake the regular inspection and testing of fire protection equipment
safely.
3.0.2 Prior to attending site, the Service Engineer should obtain the relevant details and
drawings of the systems to be serviced, and refer to reports of previous service visits
and fault “call outs” since the last service.
3.0.3 The Engineer’s signature on the service report and record card on completion of
work is confirmation that the system, on that day, was in complete operational order.
3.0.4 On arrival at site, the service engineer should report to the customer’s representative
to determine if there are any specific instructions with which to comply.
3.0.5 Obtain permit to work from the customer if necessary.
3.0.6 Ask if any particular problems have arisen since the last service visit.
3.0.7 Ask if any fires have occurred and how the system performed.
3.0.8 All fires, faults or accidental operation of systems should be recorded with reasons.
3.0.9 If it is necessary to take further action, which may cause inconvenience to the
customer, ask his permission first.
3.0.10 Notify all concerned that the fire protection system is being maintained and may be
inoperative.
3.0.11 Work systematically in a clean, tidy and professional manner.
3.0.12 Consider the possibility of a genuine fire alarm occurring while you are working on
the system and make appropriate arrangements.
3.0.13 Prepare a service report, submitting a copy to the Client, the Customer Service
Manager and retain a copy. (See checklist Appendix D)
3.0.14 Where faulty parts are removed and the fault requires further investigation,
arrangements should be made to return the parts to the supplier.

Section 3.1 - Pre-conditions

• Maintenance should be carried out during planned shutdown periods.

• The carbon dioxide isolate valve should be closed to protect against accidental
operation.

• Inhibit F & G system.

Section 3.2 - Additional reference notes relating to maintenance activities

3.2.1 To obtain the overall weight of the carbon dioxide cylinder assembly, the counter
balance weight position can be measured to obtain a reasonably accurate assembly
weight.

The object of the exercise is to identify any cylinder showing a loss of 10% nett
contents. (i.e. cylinder fill 45kg therefore 4.5 kg loss) Any cylinder showing this loss
should be removed and refilled.

Proceed as follows: -

• Read the tare weight stamped on the cylinder

• Take dimension ‘A’
• Refer to chart below

Figure 15

Cylinder Tare Weight (kg) Dimensions A (mm)

Note: 1 Kg weight difference = 1.8mm movement

3.2.2 Gas Gone Pressure Switch

The pressure setting shall be tested using a suitable pressure source, regulator and
calibrated gauge. The switch set point is set at 4 bar rising, the pressure switch has a
¼” N.P.T. female process connection,

Also inspect all terminals for tightness and that cables are in good condition. Check
for internal condensation and rectify is necessary.

Figure 16

To adjust the set point, slacken off the set point lock screw and rotate the set point
adjuster to suit. (Clockwise to increase, counter clockwise to decrease)
Lock the set point lock
Re-check the set point is 4 bar rising
3.2.3 Carbon Dioxide Cylinder(s)

An inspection of the carbon dioxide cylinder(s) should be carried out annually.

Deterioration of cylinder paintwork should be repaired.

A full inspection and test for all cylinders should be carried out after a 10 year period
from the date stamped on the cylinder. This should include re-hydro testing and
should be carried out by a competent Organisation.

A full external inspection should be carried out by a competent engineer to check for
mechanical damage, excessive corrosion and loss of gross mass with all results
recorded appropriately.

Any cylinder showing signs of mechanical damage, excessive corrosion or loss of

gross mass exceeding 3% shall be withdrawn from service and submitted to a full
periodic inspection and test.

3.2.4 Enclosure Integrity Test

An enclosure integrity test shall be carried out yearly to establish if any sealing work
is required.
The efficiency of the fire fighting system depends on achieving and maintaining
concentrations to a required level. Therefore, leakage above the original design
criteria will affect the performance of the fire protection.

a) Where applicable. Remove lever actuators from cylinder valves.

b) Where applicable. Remove the actuator solenoid and retain locking nut in a safe
place for re-installation.

c) Where applicable. Remove the solenoid valve assembly (See Figure 8).

Removal of solenoid-operated valve may result in damage to the ‘O’ ring seal. Carefully
check the seal before reusing.

Slowly unscrew the solenoid operated valve assembly, a short discharge of gas may be
audible.

Fully remove the actuator assembly. (Retaining the ‘O’ ring seal.)

To protect the valve sealing face immediately assemble the protection cap to the
valve.

d) Disconnect the discharge hose at the valve outlet position (See Figure 9) do not
disconnect the discharge hose from the manifold. Retain any sealing washers and
store in a safe place for re-installation.

e) Before attempting to move the cylinder, install the anti recoil cap on the
discharge valve outlet (See Figure 9).

f) Lower cylinder to cabinet floor using the M12 nut on the top of the weigh beam (See
Figure 14).

g) Disconnect the hanger rods from the neck collar and remove the neck collar (See
Figure 14) retain all parts for re-installation.

h) Fit the cylinder transport protection cap. (See Figure 1)

i) Remove the cylinder(s) from the cabinets if necessary lay the cylinders on the floor
ready for transport (See Appendix E).
Cylinder Filling Instructions

To replace a discharged cylinder bank, the following action should be taken:

• Notify key personnel that work is being carried out

• Ensure the manual isolation valve is closed and the pilot circuit has been
vented via the vent valves located on the carbon dioxide cylinder valve

• Where applicable disconnect the flexible pilot loops

• Disconnect flexible hoses from the cylinder valves, taking care to retain the
sealing washers

• Where applicable remove the pilot solenoid and solenoid hose

• Fit transport caps, valve outlet caps and lock off pins onto cylinders to be
recharged

• Remove cylinders from weight monitoring cylinder hangers and remove from
frame

• Where applicable remove pilot cylinder assembly and disconnect from

actuators

• The cylinders will need to be re-connected when recharged

Refer to Section 3 for instructions on re-connecting the cylinders

CARBON DIOXIDE WEIGHT MONITORING DEVICE

1.1 General

The Weight Indicator Mechanism (Part No. E8731-402) is a device used to automatically
monitor the contents of fixed fire carbon dioxide cylinder. When the contents of the
cylinder fall by a predetermined amount, typically 10%, the weight drops.

The components of the weight indicator mechanism are shown below. The device is
supplied in a kit form, for assembly onto the mounting frame, and comprises: the body, two
hanger rods, neck collar, weight, four off M10 nuts and washers, and one off M12 nut and
washer.

1.2 Operation

When the weight indicator mechanism is set up, the downward force of the cylinder is
greater than the leverage provided by the weight on the weight rod.

As the contents of the cylinder drops through a pre-determined amount, the downward force
of the cylinder becomes less than the leverage of the weight, therefore the weight rod drops.

All screws and steel fittings are zinc plated.

Setting Instruction

1. Position the weight on the hanger rod so that the carbon dioxide cylinder weight holds the
weight in its upper position, i.e. moving the weight slightly away from the cylinder will
cause the weight will fall.

2. On achieving the balance position the nut located between the weight and the cylinder
should be turned five full rotations.

3. Accordingly the weight should be rotated back to the cylinder by five rotations.

4. The front securing nut should be tightened down onto the weight. This position will monitor
for a 10% loss in liquid contents.

 ENCLOSURES
INTRINSIC SAFETY
Pressure switches neither store nor
generate electricity and are therefore
normally usable in intrinsically safe
circuits without further certification
provided that the power source of the
circuit is certified Exi and the installation
is in accordance with the relevant
codes of practice (e.g. ANSI/ISA 12.6 or
BS 5345 Part 4, 1977). Because of the
low voltages and currents of I.S. circuits,
we recommend using gold and/or
sealed contacts.
Temperatures in Table 1 refer to
limitations for certified enclosures. See
TECHNICAL DATA.
NOTE: Codes T and U - to increase gas
