Alarm Check V alve

As an essential part of a wet sprinkler system, Paradise Alarm Check Valves are used for device that detects water flow of fixed type extinguisher installed in high-rise apartments or parking lots. Made of cast bronze, Paradise Alarm Check Valve undergoes strict in-house test on pressure-withstanding and functional compliance, and again is inspected by national authorities before delivery. Paradise Alarm Check Valve is sold along with pressure gauge and other parts necessary to function the system.
Features
There is no false alarm that might result from remaining air in the outlet pipe. In case of pipe leakage that causes water flow to drop down to 17/min, a ball check valve inside will supply properly pressurized water to the pipe, preventing a false alarm. It is designed to fit into tiny space for installation.

Operation
Water always fills both inlet and outlet ports, making itself ready to extinguish fire at all times. As the pressure of outlet side drops due to the sprinkler operation, clapper is lifted and alarm switch or pressure switch is triggered through the hole of seat-ring. Built with a test & drain valve inside, an alarm valve opens the valve easily to be readily tested. It s valve can be completely opened, making itself empty by draining water out of the drain valve.

Handling & Installation

Paradise Alarm Check Valve Trim is made of cast steel from the valve body to the test & drain valve. Paradise Alarm Check Valve must be handled with extreme care to prevent any damage during loading and unloading.

Open the box and check if the folowing contents are all intact.
Part Valve Body Pressure Gauge Pressure Switch Gauge fitting pipe and gauge valve Qty. 1 2 1 2 Remark Incl. pressure switch line pipe & retarding chamber. Delivered in separate package. Delivered in separate package. Packed together with valve body.

Installation Procedure
A. Before Installation Prepare two gasket packings (3t) suitable for the Alarm Check Valve flange to be installed. Flange Bolt & Nut (Incl. plain and spring washer) 100A : M1675 16Ea 150A : M2075 16Ea Also prepare teflon tape for piping purpose and wiring materials if needed. B. Pipe Flange Welding Properly position Alarm Check Valve and bolt hole and then firmly weld in accordance to the pipe flange plan considering the height of Alarm Check Valve and gasket packing. C. Pipe Cleaning When the installation is completed, clean thoroughly the pipe interior. Remove slag by knocking welded parts of pipe with a hammer, and if possible, flush the interior with pressurized water of 5kgf/ until it is completely rinsed out. Negligence of cleaning will: 1. cause repeated false alarm due to the damaged seat rubber in the Alarm Check Valve. 2. retard or even result in failure of fire suppression when the orifice of sprinkler head is choked up. D. Valve Installation 1. Once again, clean interior of valve body. Check disk, seat rubber and seating hole before installation. 3 2. Install valve body, inlet and outlet pressure gauge. Alarm or to the other 3. Install retarding chamber (incl. pressure switch). alarm line 4. Unused holes must be plugged in order to prevent leakage. 1 5 (A contact , 5. Refer to the pressure gauge wire connection diagram below. B contact , )
Caution

1. Apply frost-protection to where the risk of frost is expected in order to prevent any frost-caused leakage. 2. Make sure to perform flushing of piping after the installation. Otherwise, the system may not engage in proper operation due to the clotting of pipe hole or seat rubber damage by dirt or foreign particles. 3. Do not step on the pipe. It may damage the pipe.

Using monkey-spanner, pipe wrench or other such tool may damage to the valve bar, valve disc or seat rubber. Frequent inspection on pipe installation will prevent damages caused by sudden shower of water. B. Operation Procedure and Check To prevent false alarm, retarding chamger time is set not to buzz immediately when you open the test valve. Ideal time setting may as well be adjusted between 4 ~ 7 seconds.
