ELECTRICAL GAS VALVE REQUIREMENTS (Continued)
Approvals
ANSUL gas valves listed in this section are UL listed and
approved for 110 VAC. If more information is required, refer to
the Gas and Oil Equipment List of Underwriters Laboratories,
Inc. under “Electrically Operated Valves Guide No. 440 A5” or
consult Tyco Fire Protection Products, Marinette, Wisconsin
54143-2542.
If other gas valves are used, they shall be “UL listed electrical
-
ly-operated safety valves for natural or LP gas as required, of
appropriate pressure and temperature rating, 110 VAC/60 Hz.”
The information on temperature and type of gas that the valves
are suitable for may be found in the Gas and Oil Equipment List
of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. under “Electrically Operated
Valves Guide No. 440 A5.”
The electrically operated gas valve must be of the type that
needs to be energized to remain open.
Note:
For electrical wiring diagrams, see “Installation Instructions”
Section, Pages 5-40 through 5-42.

ALARM INITIATING SWITCH REQUIREMENTS
The Alarm Initiating Switch can be field mounted within the
AUTOMAN release. The switch must be used to close a super
-
vised alarm circuit to the building main fire alarm panel when
the AUTOMAN release actuates. This action will signal the fire
alarm panel that there was a system actuation in the kitchen
area. The switch kit contains all necessary mounting compo
-
nents along with a mounting instruction sheet. See Page 5-39
for wiring information.
The switch is rated 50 mA, 28VDC.

ELECTRICAL SWITCH REQUIREMENTS
Note: Electrical connections shall not be made in the
AUTOMAN.
The electric (snap-action) switches for the R-102 system are
specially designed to fit the regulated release assembly. The
switches are intended for use with electric gas valves, alarms,
contactors, lights, contractor supplied electric power shut-off
devices, and other electrical devices that are designed to shut
off or turn on when the fire suppression system is actuated.
(See Figures 5-122 through 5-124 in Installation Section for
reference).
Contractors shall supply “UL listed, enclosed industrial control
equipment or magnetic switch having a rating matching that of
the cooking appliance, coil 110 VAC/60 Hz or 24 VAC/60 Hz.”
All electrical connections should be performed by a QUALIFIED
ELECTRICIAN
and in accordance with authority having
jurisdiction.
Electric (Snap-Action) Switches that may be field installed are:
Part No.

One Switch Kit
423879
Two Switch Kit
423880
Three Switch Kit
423881
Four Switch Kit
436770
Two Switch Kit (no wire leads)
Each switch has a set of single-pole, double throw contacts
rated at 21 amp, 1 HP, 125, 250, 277 VAC or 2 HP, 250, 277
VAC.
Note:
A relay must be supplied by others if the equipment load
exceeds the rated capacity of the switch.
Electrical wiring and equipment shall be installed in accordance
with NFPA 70 (National Electrical Code) or the requirements of
the authority having jurisdiction.
If a fire alarm system is provided, the fire extinguishing system
shall be connected to the alarm system in accordance with the
requirements of NFPA 72, National Fire Alarm Code, so that the
actuation of the extinguishing system will sound the fire alarm as
well as provide the extinguishing function of the system.
If supervision of the electrical detection, electrical actuation or
electrical power supply circuit is provided, it shall give prompt
audible or visual indication of trouble and shall be distinctive
from alarms or indicators indicating operation or hazardous
conditions as specified in NFPA 17A.
