Introduction
The AF-X Fireblocker Carbon Series is designed to extinguish a fire. The authors of this user manual have constructed
it in such a way that it covers every important aspect of the AF-X Fireblocker Carbon Series’ functional use. To
ensure functional use of the AF-X Fireblocker Carbon Series, all instructions of this manual need to be followed
closely.
Electrical installations, such as fire detection, control and alarm systems, need to be installed by the relevant
system’s supplier’s specially trained (certified) personnel according to the system’s suppliers manual and
instructions. These matters are therefore not included in this user manual.
In case of incorrect use of this manual neither AF-X Systems BV, nor the AF-X Fireblocker Carbon Series distributor
or dealer can assume any responsibility.
