3. Operation
A. To release the extinguishing agent, the pilot operates a control switch, applying 17 to 31
VDC, 3.5 amperes current to the cartridge connector pins. The current detonates the
explosive charge in the cartridge. The explosion creates a shock wave, which fractures
the rupture disc and releases the extinguishing agent into the discharge line.
B. The pressure switch indicator should be checked regularly to make sure that the fire
extinguisher is charged.
4. Technical Properties
A. The technical properties of the fire extinguishers are given in Table 1.

4. Hydrostatic Pressure Test Requisites
A. The DOT requires these units to be hydrostatically tested at five year intervals. FAA,
CAA, and DOT rules may impose other requirements.
B. The approved method of testing is by water jacket volumetric expansion, which uses
high internal water pressure to determine total volumetric expansion.
5. Hydrostatic Test Procedure
A. Set up the hydrostatic test equipment.
B. Prepare the fire extinguisher for the hydrostatic test, as follows:
(1) Disassemble the fire extinguisher to remove the cartridge (5), discharge outlet (20),
rupture disc (45), fill fitting (50), and pressure switch (60). Refer to the Disassembly
section.
(2) Install plugs and caps (Table 101) in the boss locations.
C. Perform hydrostatic test per test stand (Table 101) manufacturers instructions.
REQUIREMENT: THE PERMANENT VOLUMETRIC EXPANSION MUST NOT
EXCEED 10 PERCENT OF THE TOTAL VOLUMETRIC
EXPANSION.
NOTE: If the test pressure cannot be maintained due to a failure of the test apparatus,
the test may be repeated at a pressure increase of 10 percent or 100 psig (690
kPag), whichever is the lower value.
D. Repeat the test once if system error is suspected. Replace the weldment if the weldment
fails both tests.
E. Remove the caps and plugs (Table 101) from the weldment. Drain the water from the
weldment.
F. Heat in an oven or heater (Table 101) to 225F to 250F (107C to 121C). Heat the
weldment for one hour or until completely dry.
G. Inspect the weldment (refer to the Check section, paragraph 3).
H. Stamp the hydrostatic test date and DOT identification number next to the pressure
stamp on the mounting lug.
6. Pressure Switch Functional Test
A. Install the pressure switch (60, IPL Figure 1) into the test fitting (Table 101).
B. Attach a digital multimeter (Table 101) to connector pins 1 and 2. The digital multimeter
should indicate continuity, showing contacts closed. Attach a digital multimeter (Table
101) to connector pins 2 and 3. The multimeter should indicate no continuity, showing
contacts open.
26-20-09
Page 105
Feb 1/99
C. Using the nitrogen source (Table 101), slowly apply pressure until switch contacts 2 and
3 close. The maximum closing pressure is 500 psig at 70F (3448 kPag at 21C). The
digital multimeter should indicate continuity, showing contacts closed.
D. Slowly decrease pressure until switch contacts 2 and 3 open. The minimum opening
pressure is 230 psig at 70F (1586 kPag at 21C). The digital multimeter should indicate
no continuity, showing contacts open.
E. Remove pressure switch from the test fitting. Install the protective covers (Table 101).
