CONNECTING A SOLENOID VALVE
The ED510 can be supplied either to take advantage of the EDL low consumption valve or for connection to higher power valves.
When supplied with the EDL valve the current is internally limited to 100mA for 12V and 50mA for a 24V saving battery power.
Both entry and exit connections are 3/8th in BSP female and are suitable for Propane or Butane bottles at a pressure in the
range of 0 - 0.01 Bar. The valve has a 6.7mm orifice. When Relay RL4 is fitted the ED510 is suitable for the connection of other
solenoid valves taking a maximum current of 1A. A reverse polarity diode should be fitted to the valve to avoid damage to the
ED510 and reduce electrical noise.
TEST & SETUP PROCEEDUREs
FIRE EQUIPMENT
All detectors connected to the fire detection zones should be tested for correct operation after installation and then regularly as
part of routine maintenance. Additionally its is important to check the correct operation of fault monitoring. An open circuit fault
can easily be achieved by removal of a detector. Ensure the appropriate fault light and the internal buzzer operate.
All EDL call points come complete with a test key enabling testing without the need to break the replaceable glass inserts.
Aerosols of synthetic smoke can be purchased inexpensively and provide a clean and simple way of testing both ionisation
and optical smoke detectors. Professional kits are available for testing heat detectors, however a domestic hair drier can be
used provided it is able to reach the necessary temperature and if a mains supply is available. For testing flame detectors an
expensive infrared or ultraviolet source is required, therefore it is advisable to contact a fire detection Service engineer with the
necessary equipment.
