Step 5
Locate bracket in desired position (Vertical-Sensor Valve/Detector Head Up, or
Horizontal, Figure 2). Using the bracket as a template, mark and drill holes in bulkhead
and install bracket insuring that all bolts are thoroughly tight.
Figure 2
WARNING: When installing cylinder in horizontal position, the actuator (top of cylinder)
must NEVER be lower than the bottom of the cylinder or proper discharge of agent will not
occur (see Figure 2 above).
MODELS FD1100 THRU FD1500 MUST BE INSTALLED VERTICAL ONLY
Step 6 Carefully attach cylinder to bracket. Sensor valve/Detector head should point towards
engine or center of the compartment. Nameplate should be visible. Tighten bracket
straps so that the cylinder body is firmly and securely held in place by its’ bracket.
CABLE ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION
(for FG and FD systems with “M” designation - manual discharge capability:
Model SMAC-XX is required.)
CAUTION: TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGE DURING CABLE INSTALLATION,
VERIFY THAT THE MANUAL DISCHARGE LEVER SAFETY PIN IS PROPERLY INSTALLED
(SEE FIGURE 6A OR 7C).
Step 1
Select the proper location.
a. Manual discharge release handles should never be installed in the protected
compartment.
b. Locate discharge handle at the helm station with full view and easy access by the
operator.
c. The area selected must be structurally secure and provide at least twelve (12)
inches (305mm) of clearance at the rear of the panel to facilitate cable hardware.
d. Do not install actuator cable in area where the possibility of physical abuse is likely.
Where practical, follow the same cable path as installed by boat manufacturer.
e. The cumulative number of bends in the cable run must never exceed 360 degrees.
This is equivalent to four (4) right (90°) angles. Use extreme care when bending
cable to avoid kinking. Never form a bend with a radius of less than twelve (12)
inches (305mm). Selection of the correct size Sea-Fire cable length will eliminate
cable coil.
Step 2 Mounting manual cable, faceplate, and release handle.
a. Using the manual discharge faceplate as a template (Figure 5) mark and drill a
13/32 inch (10.4mm) hole. Install the manual release cable adhering to the
guideline in Step 1 above.
b. Do not connect cable to the cylinder at this time.
c. Remove the protective backing from the faceplate. While aligning the holes, place
even pressure upon the faceplate. To insure a good bond, the temperature should
be in excess of 50°F (10°C).
