To test a remote electric pull station, refer to appropriate
AUTOPULSE Control System installation, operation, and
maintenance manual.
To test a remote cable pull station to ANSUL AUTOMAN
II-C release, complete the following steps:
1. With the gas cartridge removed, remove ring pin from
release puncture pin assembly.
2. If required, remove glass break rod from pull station by
removing set screw on side of stud and slide glass
break rod out.
3. Pull handle on pull station. If the release assembly is
tripped easily, the remote cable pull station is properly
installed.
If the release assembly does not trip easily, remove pul-
ley tee (if provided) and each pulley elbow cover to
make certain wire rope is resting on the pulley sheave.
If this does not correct the problem, there is too much
slack in the cable and it must be retightened.
4. If retightening or realignment was necessary, retry pull
station. If release assembly operates properly, cut off any
excess wire rope 3/4 in. (2 cm) above oval sleeve.
5. Recock release assembly using cocking lever, Part No.
26310, and reinstall ring pin.
6. Slide glass break rod through stud and ring handle.
Tighten set screw into stud.
7. If no other testing is required, re-install nitrogen car-
tridge in ANSUL AUTOMAN II-C Release.
To test a remote cable pull station to cylinder lever
release(s), complete the following steps:
1. Remove lever actuator(s) from cylinder valve.
NOTICE
After removing actuator(s) from cylinder
valve, securely support actuator(s) in order
for it to operate when pull station is pulled.
2. Pull remote cable pull station. Lever actuator should
move to the tripped position.
If lever actuator does not trip, remove each pulley elbow
cover to make certain wire rope is resting on the pulley
sheave. If this does not correct the problem, there is too
much slack in the cable and it must be retightened.
3. If retightening or realignment was necessary, retry pull
station.
4. If pull station operated properly, reset lever actuator.
5. Reinstall lever actuator on cylinder valve. Wrench
tighten.

CAUTION
!
When testing pull station, make certain cartridge is not
installed in ANSUL AUTOMAN II-C release. Failure to
remove cartridge will cause system actuation. Make cer-
tain shipping cap is installed on cartridge.
CAUTION
!
Make certain lever actuator(s) are removed from cylinder
valves prior to testing pull station. Failure to do so will
cause cylinder discharge.
CAUTION
!
Make certain lever actuator is in the “SET” position
before reinstalling on cylinder valve. Failure to do so
will cause actuation when reinstalling.
