SECTION 6 – OPERATIONAL TEST AND PLACE IN SERVICE
2014-MAY-02 REV. 0 PAGE 6-1
CAUTION
Before performing any operational test(s), protect the fire suppression system from uninten-
tional actuation. Verify Electric-Pneumatic Actuators are not connected to Release Circuit
Drop Cables and any pneumatic manual actuators are ring-pinned for safety and/or actua-
tion cartridges removed.
The following tables are step-by-step instructions to complete testing and place the system in service. If unexpected results occur
refer to Section 9 – Troubleshooting section.

Detection and Actuation System
Release Circuit
CAUTION
!
When handling the PAD, always point actuating end away
from yourself and others. On electrical initiation, PAD oper-
ates very quickly and a small brass disk forcefully separates
from actuating end. Physical injury may occur from contact
with the actuating pin and/or the detaching disk.
Before conducting the OPERATIONAL TEST, confirm all
installed Release Circuit Drop Cables have a Release Circuit
Tester (RCT) (Part No. 441021) and/or a Release Circuit Test
Plug (Part No. 440912) installed.
1. Insert Release Circuit Test Plug in socket of Release
Circuit Drop Cable(s). (If installed remove PAD.)
2. On last Release Circuit Drop Cable insert RCT. (If
installed remove PAD.)
Switch on top of RCT must be turned on for testing. LEDs
on front indicate status: Ready, Pass, Fail, and replace
RCT battery.
After RCT indicates pass or fail, press switch on top to
reset the tester.
Note: If there is a single Electric-Pneumatic Actuator,
connect RCT to Release Circuit Drop Cable. Release
Circuit Test Plug is not installed.
CAUTION
When performing any operational test(s), make certain RCT
and Release Circuit Test Plug(s), as required, are attached to
the release circuit.
IF INSTALLED,
