washed clean. Consult Stat-X Safety Data Sheet for safety
information.
6.
Important! Any residue which is not cleaned up shortly
following discharge can absorb moisture in air.
A change in
room temperature during a fire event or discharge can affect
humidity and it is important to reduce the enclosure humidity
as soon as possible following discharge.
7. Remove spent generators, being sure to wear gloves or
other hand protection. The generators will remain quite warm
to the touch for a time after actuation.
8. Dispose of spent generators per applicable federal, state,
and local regulations
9. Contact your Stat-X distributor immediately for replacement
generators. Replacement and commissioning should only be
undertaken by trained personnel
NOTE
WARNING
Before performing post fire maintenance procedures refer
to the Stat-X Safety Data Sheet.
MAINTENANCE
General:
To ensure proper operation of your fire suppression
system, a systematic maintenance program is required.
A periodic maintenance schedule must be instituted including
an inspection log maintained for reference. The log should,
at a minimum, record: (1) inspection interval, (2) inspection
procedure performed, (3) maintenance performed, if any,
because of inspection, and (4) the name of the responsible
person performing the operation.
Preventive Maintenance.
Fireaway suggests that a preventive
maintenance program require, at a minimum, the following
schedule:
Inspection Procedures
Weekly
1. Check all electrical connections to ensure operation of the
Stat-X generators in the event of a fire. If connected to a fire
alarm control panel, check the panel status.
2. Make a general visual inspection of all aerosol generators
for damaged or missing parts, and visually inspect that
generator mounting is secure.
Every Six Months
1. Ensure access to hazard areas, lines of egress, and
manual release stations are unobstructed and that there are
no obstacles inhibiting the proper operation of the aerosol
generators or distribution of the aerosol in the event of a fire.
2. Inspect Stat-X aerosol generators for physical damage,
such as cracks, dents, distortion, or corrosion. If damage
is found, replace generator as instructed in the installation
section of this manual.
3. Inspect mounting brackets, clamps, and associated
hardware for loose, damaged, or broken parts. Replace
damaged parts and tighten all loose hardware.
4. Inspect all manual release stations for damage, dirt, or
distortion. Inspect station for signs of physical damage, replace
if necessary.
5. Inspect all electrical connections and run electrical
continuity tests using an ohmmeter. Repair and replace as
necessary.
6. Replacement: The aerosol generators have an installed
service life of fifteen (15) years. Generators are to be replaced
fifteen years from the date code in the lower right corner of
the product label as follows, the 2-digit numeric represents the
year and then the month of shipment from the factory:
21 22 23 24 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
21 = 2021, 22 = 2022, etc. A unit marked 21 12, for
example, would have shipped in December of 2021.
RECYCLING OF AEROSOL GENERATORS AFTER
DISCHARGE:
In most cases the discharged generator can be disposed of
in any landfill that handles industrial waste. However, local
regulations must be researched and observed.
Each discharged aerosol generator will contain the following
material:
1. Stainless steel outer shell – all
2. Mild steel cross members (30E, 60E, 100E, 250E, 500E)
3. Mild steel spacer ring - all
4. Stainless steel inner shell, top and bottom plates, screens
(all sizes), and cross members (1000E, 1500E, 2500E)
5. Activated Alumina: CAS 1333-84-2 (Aluminum Oxide non-
fibrous)
30E 60E 100E 250E 500E 1000E 1500E 2500E
20g 40g 100g 550g 970g 1670g 2350g 3600g
1. Fiberglass rope (ø1cm x 50cm).
2. Ceramic Paper < 150g.
3. Wire – 24gauge, PVC coated (< 1g)
4. Trace chemicals: K2CO3 (water-soluble particulate
“trapped” in unit during discharge).
Un-discharged generators taken out of service should be
returned to your local authorized distributor for replacement
and re-cycling.

Inspection Steps
Yes
No N.A.
Perform a general visual inspection of all aerosol generators for damaged or missing parts. Examine each
device for a puncture in the aluminum foil seal at orifice plate. Replace generator if foil is punctured or ripped.
Verify at the control panel for any fault or trouble indication with regards to the panel output releasing circuit(s).
If there is an indicated releasing circuit fault, verify electrical signal connection from panel to each aerosol
generator electrical initiator. Test using a multi-meter, the line resistance of the releasing circuit signal line.
Replace aerosol generator if each electrical initiator resistance exceeds operational range of 1.4
Ω
to 2.0
Ω
.
Inspect aerosol generators for physical damage that is not superficial, such as cracks, dents, distortion, or
corrosion. If damage is found, replace generator as instructed in the owner’s manual.
Verify mounting brackets and straps, tightness of mounting hardware, and generator alignment are properly
secured. Tighten all loose hardware or replace damaged parts.
Ensure paths of emergency egress from protected area is not impeded by an aerosol discharge as well as
unobstructed access to manual pull stations and abort devices (where installed). Ensure there are no obstacles
inhibiting the proper operation of the aerosol generators or distribution of aerosol in the event of fire.
Ensure automatic dampers (where fitted) are functional. Verify leakage areas identified during the original
system design have not been modified.
Follow specific recommended manufacturer maintenance and test procedure for the fire detection/control
system and fire detection devices, and per local codes.
The aerosol generators have an installed service life of fifteen (15) years. Replace each generator fifteen (15)
years from the marked date code in the lower right corner of the product label.
