9 Condensed Aerosol Fire Extinguishing System Arrangement
The
FirePro Xtinguish
condensed aerosol generators and ancillary system components shall be
arranged to allow easy inspection and maintenance activities, minimizing the interruption of
protection.
FirePro Xtinguish
condensed aerosol generators shall not be located where they can be
mechanically damaged, exposed to chemicals, or to adverse weather conditions which may render
them inoperative. Suitable protective provisions shall be adopted, if necessary.
FirePro Xtinguish
condensed aerosol generators shall be securely installed following the guidance
given by this manual.
9.1 Minimum Safe Distances
Minimum safe distances:

FirePro Xtinguish
condensed aerosol generators shall not be installed at less than the minimum
safe distances as specified in the
FirePro Xtinguish
condensed aerosol generator data sheets.
The generator datasheets are in Appendix C of this manual.

The minimum safe distance between the
FirePro Xtinguish
condensed aerosol generator
casing and personnel shall be the distance from the generator casing to where the temperature
does not exceed 75°C (167°F) during and after discharge.

The minimum safe distance between the
FirePro Xtinguish
condensed aerosol generator
casing and combustible materials shall be the distance from the generator casing to where the
temperature does not exceed 200°C (392°F) during and after discharge.
9.2 Safety Requirements
Personnel shall not enter a protected space during or after the agent discharge.
Safeguards shall be provided to ensure prompt evacuation of personnel prior to system discharge,
and to prevent entry or re-entry into the protected enclosure after system discharge.
There shall be provided a means for prompt rescue of any trapped personnel, including the following:
a. Provision for adequate egress pathways, and procedures to keep them clear at all times
b. Provision for emergency lighting and directional signs if necessary to ensure quick, safe
evacuation.
c. Provision for alarms in such areas that will operate immediately on detection of the fire.
d. Provision for only outward-swinging, self-closing doors at exits from hazardous areas and,
where such doors are latched, panic hardware shall be installed.
e. Provision for continuous alarms at entrances to such areas until the atmosphere has been
restored to normal.
f. Provision for warning and instruction signs at entrances to and inside such areas. These
signs should inform persons in or entering the protected area that an aerosol system is
installed and shall contain additional instructions pertinent to the conditions of the hazard.
g. Provision for the prompt discovery and rescue of persons rendered unconscious in such
areas. This should be accomplished by having such areas searched immediately by trained
personnel equipped with proper breathing equipment. Self-contained breathing equipment
and personnel trained in its use and in rescue practices, including cardiopulmonary
resuscitation, should be readily available.
h. Provision for instruction and drills for all personnel in or in the vicinity of such areas, including
maintenance or construction people, to ensure their correct action when a
FirePro Xtinguish
condensed aerosol system operates.
