DEFINITION OF TERMS (Continued)
Pulley Elbow: A device used to change the direction of the wire
rope which runs between: the regulated release mechanism
and the detectors, the regulated release mechanism and the
mechanical gas valve, and/or the regulated release mechanism
and the remote manual pull station.
Pulley Tee: A device used to change the direction of two wire
ropes which run from a regulated release or a regulated actu-
ator to two remote manual pull stations, or from two regulated
releases or regulated actuators to a single mechanical gas valve
or from one regulated release or regulated actuator to two gas
valves.
Regulated Actuator Assembly: An assembly which contains
the regulator, pneumatic actuator, agent tank, and expellant gas
hose within a metal enclosure. This assembly is used to pressur-
ize additional agent tanks in a multiple tank system.
Regulated Release Mechanism: An enclosed device within
the AUTOMAN regulated release assembly which releases the
expellant gas, activates alarms, and/or shuts off other devices
when signaled automatically by a detector or manually with a
remote pull station.
Regulator: A device used to regulate the pressure from the
nitrogen cartridge into the agent tank(s) when the system is
actuated.
Remote Manual Pull Station: A device which provides manual
actuation of the system from a remote location.
Remote Mechanical Release: A device that provides actua-
tion gas, activates alarms, and/or shuts off other devices when
signaled automatically by a detector, or manually with a remote
pull station.
Salamander Broiler: A broiler very similar in design to the
upright broiler. A salamander broiler is used for general broiling
of meats and fish, toasting, and holding/warming foods. Most
contain a removable grease drip tray.
Series Detector: Any detector located in-line between the regu-
lated release assembly and the terminal detector.
Silicone Lubricant: A heat-resistant organic compound used to
lubricate O-rings, rubber and mechanical components.
Supply Line: The agent distribution piping which extends from
the agent tank outlet and serves as a manifold for the branch
lines.
Terminal Detector: The last in a series of detectors, or the only
detector used in a single-detector system. This detector is thus
named because it is at the point at which the wire rope ends,
or ‘‘terminates.’’ There is only one terminal detector per detection
system.
Transition: An extension of the hood or canopy which allows for
the smooth transmission of gases, air, and vapors between the
hood opening and the base of the ventilation duct.
Vent Plug: A device used to prevent pressure build-up within
the agent tank or agent distribution lines due to temperature
fluctuations.
