HAZARD IDENTIFICATION BASIC PLANNING
Individuals responsible for planning (or designing) a CHECK-

FIRE 110 Detection and Actuation System must hold current

ANSUL Certification from an ANSUL A-101 and/or LVS train-

ing program. In addition to the certification, planners must

research:

• Known fire hazards in equipment to be protected
• Federal and local fire protection codes/standards
For easier planning obtain a general model drawing of the

vehicle with accurate dimensions.
Identify hazard areas needing protection. Agent nozzles in

existing fire suppression systems may point out hazard areas.

For existing or new fire suppression/detection systems review

and apply the following vital information to determine proper

placement of discharge nozzles and detection devices.

Fire Hazard Locations

A fire hazard is any area where an ignition source (heat, high

temperature or sparks) and fuel (flammable materials) may be

found in close proximity. A solid or liquid combustible or flam

mable material can cause fire when in contact with an ignition

(heat) source. Fire hazard areas may also exist in locations

where fire can propagate due to dripping or running flammable

liquids.

Examples of ignition (heat) sources:

• Engines
• Exhaust manifolds and piping
• Turbochargers
• Power source compartments
• Electrical system equipment
• Torque converters
• Transmissions
• Hydraulic pumps
• Parking brakes (engaged while moving)
• Bearings, clutches or gears
• Malfunctioning components
• Friction from debris packed around parts

Examples of fuel or flammable materials (may cause rapid

buildup or spreading of fire):

ClAss B MATErIAls

• leaking fuel (gasoline, diesel, engine oil, hydraulic oil,

glycol, steering fluid, etc.)

• Broken fuel lines/fittings
• slow leaks – fuel or hydraulic fluid
• Broken hydraulic lines or pumps
• High pressure hoses
• Belly pan (fuel and debris accumulation)
• ruptured fuel or hydraulic tank
• Greases

ClAss A MATErIAls

• Electric wiring insulation
• Plastic parts
• rubber
• Debris (wood chips, coal dust, landfill material, etc.)

Identify every foreseeable hazard. Include the occasional

danger of malfunctioning components.

Other Considerations

The propagation of fire from one area to another may cause

a hazard to be larger than originally determined. liquid fuel

may flow, spray, or splash causing the fire to spread further

than anticipated. Radiation, sparks, or conduction through

metal can carry heat to an area where the danger of fire would

not normally exist. Hand portable fire extinguishers should be

accessible to suppress residual fires or to help with providing

an escape route.

research the fire history of the equipment or of similar equip

ment. This information may be available through company

records or vehicle operators who may have first-hand expe

rience enabling them to identify locations of previous fires as

well as specific hazards such as frequent component wear,

fuel leak points, or ruptures of certain hydraulic fittings or

hoses.
Normal operating temperatures in excess of the detector

ratings will cause the detection system to activate.
Each identified hazard must include both fire suppression

system fixed nozzles and linear detectors or spot thermal

detectors for automatic detection and system activation.

Equipment Shutdown

Plan for the shutdown of components that could add to the

intensity of the fire, re-ignite the fire, or negatively impact the

discharge of fire suppression agent such as:

• Fuel pumps
• Hydraulic pumps
• Engine
• Power source
• Electrical system
• Fans

Automatic pressure bleed-down and/or fuel and hydraulic tank

shutoff valves should also be considered to mitigate fire propa-

gation and/or re-flash.

Electrical interface to shutdown functions requires the pneu

matic Pressure switch (Part No. 440090) (the CHECKFIrE

110 Control Module does not include a shutdown function).

The switch connects to shutdown devices to initiate properly

sequenced engine shutdown simultaneously with fire suppres

sion system operation. Consult the vehicle manufacturer for

details. refer to section 2 - Components, page 2-9, for electri

cal rating of switch contacts.
