d. Following the diagram in Figure 5, install the nut and lock washer on the cable and
insert the cable end through the panel and faceplate hole. Extend cable shaft out to
its fullest and install ferrule by screwing onto the cable shaft end. Do not over
tighten. Four or five turns are sufficient.
e. Place rubber o-ring seal onto the cable shaft and install the release handle by
screwing it onto the cable shaft. Do not tighten to the point where the pinhole in the
handle will be obstructed.
f. Push the handle into the ferrule. This will seat the o-ring seal. Align the pull pinholes
in the handle and ferrule and insert the pull pin (Figure 5).
g. Turn the handle so that the word FIRE is vertical. The handle can now be locked in
position by tightening the nut behind the face plate panel.
h. Temporarily remove pull pin and test cable operation. Cable must move freely
without friction or binding. Reinstall pull pin and confirm that release handle is now
locked in place.
i.
Attach the tamper resistant round plastic tie to the pull pin by passing tie through the
pull pin ring and around the cable assembly. Insert the end of the tie into cable end
and pull up snug. The tie provides a means of determining if manual discharge has
occurred.
j.
Nylon cable ties should be used for cable securing. Fasten and support the cable on
straight runs only. Do not secure at locations where cable forms a bend.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE NYLON CABLE TIES AS TAMPER FOR PULL PIN.
CAUTION: ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGE DURING HANDLING OR INSTALLATION MAY CAUSE
SERIOUS INJURY. DO NOT REMOVE FACTORY INSTALLED SAFETY PIN FROM
CYLINDER SENSOR VALVE/DETECTOR UNTIL INSTALLATION IS COMPLETED
AND CHECKED. WEAR EYE PROTECTION WHEN INSTALLING OR SERVICING
THE SYSTEM.
Step 3
Connecting cable assembly to cylinder (Figure 6 or 7)
a. Before attaching cable to the cylinder, check that the cylinder bracket is located
correctly and firmly mounted.
b. With the cylinder strapped in its bracket, pass the cable jacket ferrule completely
through the hole in the cylinder manifold. This will allow the necessary cable
flexibility needed for inserting the offset end of the flexible shaft into the actuator
lever. After connecting the shaft and actuator lever, move the cable back and align
the ferrule grove with the slot in the manifold. Insert the locking clip that is provided
with cable assembly. The cable assembly must be locked to the manifold or
accidental discharge can occur.
c. Using care, remove the factory installed actuator lever safely pin from the cylinder.
Store safety pin in the nylon retainer provided on the cylinder neck (Figure 6 or 7).
d. The Sea-Fire manual/automatic extinguisher is now fully operational.
