Models FD 150 – 1500
with EC approval are designated as “CE” marked in
accordance with the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) 2014/68/EU. These
systems are refillable.
-
FD 150 – 1000
have seamless aluminum cylinders built to technical standards
either BS EN 1975 or ISO 7866. Systems with π marked cylinders built to ISO
standard 7866 are to be maintained in accordance with ISO 10461, Gas Cylinders
– Seamless Aluminum – Alloy Gas Cylinders – Periodic Inspection and Testing.
Systems with π marked cylinders built to BS EN 1975 are to be maintained in
accordance with BS EN 1802.
-
FD Models 1025 – 1500
have welded steel cylinders built to technical standard
EN 13322-1. These cylinders need to be maintained in accordance with BS EN
1803.
For cylinders built to European directives and maintained in accordance with those
directives in the European community, the inspection interval is 10 years from the
manufacture date hard-stamped into the cylinder. Note – the
Manufacture Date
on
the specification label, described in the next section, indicates the fill action and final
assembly date. This is not the cylinder manufactured date and has no impact on the
cylinder requalification interval. TPED Directive 2010/35/EU also has requirements for
periodic inspection.
WARNING:
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DISASSEMBLE ANY PART OR COMPONENT OF THE
EXTINGUISHER. THIS UNIT IS PRESSURIZED AND SERIOUS INJURY COULD RESULT.
CONTACT THE FACTORY OR AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR SERVICE INFORMATION.
Agent Weight Inspection
Weigh cylinder to insure ample extinguisher agent (every 6 months, minimum).
All fire suppression systems containing liquefied gas require periodic weighing to
ensure a fully charge unit. Pressure gauges indicate the ability to discharge the agent
but not the quantity of extinguishing agent. The cylinder (less bracket) must be
weighed on at least a semi-annual basis and be replaced immediately if gross weight
has decreased by the quantity noted on the specification label. The specification label
(examples shown below) identifies the Model Type, Work Order #, Discharge
Temperature, Agent Weight, Maximum Volume Protected, Gross Weight, and
Manufacturer Date:
