nected. Failure to do so may result in re-ignition after the FM-200® concentration depletes.
Disconnect may be accomplished by using a shutdown system. See OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT.

glass surfaces: A backing washer (flat) or plate should be utilized if the thickness is
less than inch.
Step 5 Using the bracket as a template, drill (4) ____” diameter holes. Mount the bracket
using no less than Grade 5 corrosive resistant ____” fasteners. (See Figure 5)
Step 6 Install the extinguisher into the bracket and latch clamp.
