INSTALLING THE ELECTRIC CONTROL HEAD (ECH):
Select a suitable location for the Electric Control Head that allows access for installation, service, recharge and
where both pressure gauges of the Nitrogen Actuation Cylinder and the 15 in³ N
₂
Actuation Cylinder can be
viewed. The ECH must be fastened to a surface which has sufficient structure to support the loads anticipated.
Using the backplate as a template, mark the top two holes for mounting and anchor the module loosely, adjust to
level and mark bottom holes, anchor securely using appropriate fasteners.
Do not install the Nitrogen
Cylinders at this time.
The ECH requires the following components for completion of the control equipment:
P/N 19347 Actuation Cylinder, P/N 09956 15 in³ Nitrogen Actuation Cylinder, and the P/N 17014 Electric Actuator.
The Electric Actuators of the ECH, and all other electrical components, must be connected to the Amerex-
supplied Releasing Control Panel, P/N 19340, Model designation: SR-X.
INSTALLING THE ACTUATION NETWORK
Refer to the Design Section 3, Page 3-29 for limitations of the Actuation Network. The network originates at the
pipe outlet of the MRM / PRM / ECH and continues to each Agent Cylinder Valve assembly. The protective plug
at the port on the MRM / ERM / ECH must be removed. All threaded connections in the Actuation Network must
be sealed with Teflon tape per page 4-16.
