FUSIBLE LINK SELECTION
To assure that the appropriate temperature is selected, the temperature sensing device must be used at each
detector location while the cooking line and exhaust fan is operating. Temperatures found at each detector
should be recorded and placed with other documentation in the job file for future reference. Selection of fusible
links should be made according to the temperature measured:
DETECTION NETWORK LIMITATIONS: PRM
Select a suitable location for the pneumatic release module (PRM) that has access for installation, service,
recharge and where both the nitrogen actuation cylinder pressure gauge and the system status indicator can be
viewed. The PRM has provisions for a single, continuous section of detection tubing.
“No Splicing” and "No
Tee's" are allowed
. There shall be only two tubing terminations – one at the accumulator cylinder inside the
PRM and the other at the opposite end of the tubing, with the use of an End of Line fitting (P/N 16506). Install
in areas where the Maximum Sustained Ambient Temperature does not exceed 176°F (80
C) and the
Maximum Intermittent Safe Exposure Temperature is 375
F (190.5
C).
