Testing Detection System Without Causing 
Water Flow (Single Interlock)

Refer to Figure 1.
1.  Close the supervised valve controlling water supply to the Mod-

el H Riser Assembly, and note the water pressure gauge read-
ing. Also, shut off the system air at the Model A-2 Device.

2.  Operate the detection system - operate a cross-zoned releas-

ing control panel by operating two detectors.

3.  Operation of the detection system must result in a sudden drop  

of  water pressure as the solenoid valve opens.  When the water 
pressure gauge drops to zero, open main drain valve,  bypass 
drain valve and manual emergency station valve until all water 
above the supervised control valve drains away.

4.  Reset detection system - reverse operations performed in Step 

“2” above.  All detection devices must be reset before the PFC-
4410-RC Releasing Control Panel can be reset.  The solenoid 
valve closes when the releasing panel is reset. Close the by-
pass drain valve and manual emergency station valve.

5.  Slightly open the supervised valve controlling water supply to 

the Model H Riser Assembly, closing main drain valve when 
water flows steadily.  Open slowly, but fully, the supervised con-
trol valve and monitor it properly.

6.  It is necessary to shut down the supervisory pressure  supply 

(ref. Step “1”) during testing; otherwise, low pressure annuncia-
tion can occur when the drain valves are opened in Step “3”. 
Restore the supervisory pressure to 10 psi (0.7 bar) at this time.

Testing Detection System Without Causing 
Water Flow (Double Interlock)

Refer to Figure 1.
1.  Close the supervised valve controlling water supply to the Mod-

el H Riser Assembly, and note the lower water pressure gauge 
reading.

2.  Operate a double interlock system by operating one detector 

and also venting the supervising pressure, through the inspec-
tors test station, below 4 psi (0.3 bar), to operate the low air pres-
sure switch. 

3.  Operation of a detector and the system pressure switch must 

result in a sudden drop of water pressure as the solenoid valve 
opens.  When the water pressure gauge drops to zero, open 
the main drain and bypass drain valves until all water above the 
supervised control valve drains away.

4.  Reset system by following the operation described previously in 

Steps “5” through “7” of the section named “Resetting Double 
Interlock Systems.”  All detection devices must be reset before 
the PFC-4410-RC Releasing Control Panel can be reset.

5.  Open slightly the supervised valve controlling water supply to 

the Model H Riser Assembly, closing the main drain valve after 
water flows steadily through it.  Open slowly, but fully, the control 
valve and supervise it properly.  Verify there is adequate water 
supply pressure and proper pneumatic supervisory pressure 
on the appropriate   gauges.  There should be no pressure 
reading on the water gauge directly above the manual emer-
gency releasing station when the system is properly reset.

Resetting Double Interlock Systems

Refer to Figure 1.
1.  Close the supervised valve controlling water supply to the Mod-

el H Riser Assembly and shut off the system’s air supply at the 
Model A-2 Device.

2.  Open all drain valves and the manual emergency station valve 

to drain the system.

3.  Open all the drain valves and vents at low points throughout the 

system, closing them when flow of water to drain has stopped.

4.  Inspect and replace any portion of the sprinkler system and 

detection system exposed to fire conditions.  Reset detectors. 

 

Note: 

 It is not possible to reset the PFC-4410-RC panel until 

Step “6”, which resets the system pressure switch, has been 
completed.

5.  Restore the system supervising pressure to approximately 10 

psi (0.7 bar) by opening valves on the Model A-2 Pressure 
Maintenance Device (refer to Bulletin 251) and adjusting the 
regulator, as required.

6.  Verify that the bypass drain valve is closed to prevent the loss 

of pneumatic supervising pressure out of the automatic drain 
valve.  When the supervising pressure has reached the 10 psi 
(0.7 bar) setting, the low air pressure switch will automatically 
reset (contacts now open).

7.  With the low air pressure switch reset (Step “6”) and all detec-

tors replaced or reset (Step “4”), the PFC-4410-RC Releasing 
Control Panel can be reset.  Pushing the “System Reset” button 
on the panel will simultaneously restore the solenoid valve to the 
closed condition.

8.  Restore water supply to the Model H Riser Assembly in ac-

cordance with Bulletin 507, Model H Deluge Riser Assembly 
Instructions for Installation, Operation, Care, and Maintenance.

Inspection and Testing of Single Interlock

Refer to Figure 1.
1.  Water supply - be sure the supervised valve controlling water 

supply to the Model H Riser Assembly is open fully and prop-
erly supervised.

2.  Other trimming valves - check that all pressure gauge valves 

are open, and that the Model A-2 Pressure Maintenance De-
vice ¾” NPT fill valve is closed. The two ¼” NPT bypass line 
valves must be fully open.

3.  Check that system supervising pressure is approximately 10 

psi (0.7 bar).

4.  Operation test - for detection only, operate by actuation of a 

keyed manual (electrical) emergency station (refer to Figure 5 
for wiring instructions).  Double interlock systems also require 
the supervisory pressure to be discharged, through the inspec-
tors test station or other venting means, below 4 psi (0.3 bar) 
before total system operation will occur.

Note:

  Total system operation testing will cause water flow 

through the Model H Riser Assembly and into the system.  
Where difficulty in performance is experienced, contact Reli-
able Technical Services before any field adjustment is to be 
made.
