In case of fire, these are the basic step by step start-up procedure on how does the Sprinkler
System operates in auto mode condition; please refer to Sprinkler System Flow Chart.
1In case of fire and the room temperature increase, the sprinkler head will explode at the
temperature of equal or greater than 68C except in kitchen area which has a maximum
value equal or greater than 79C.
2The pressure of the Sprinkler piping system at normal condition is 9 kg/cm 2, if pressure drop
is occurs the alarm valve will open (this alarm valve distributed in the terminal
building)and relay signal alarm to Fire Alarm System.
3The pressure switch at the expansion tank at the fire pump room will open and relay signal to
the Sprinkler System control panel to start operation of Jockey Pump.
4The pressure switch for jockey pump in expansion tank is set to pressure range from 8.5
kg/cm2 10.0 kg/cm2. When the sprinkler head burst out and the pressure in the system
continuously decreasing and achieve the pressure of 8.5 kg/cm 2 the jockey pump will
automatically start to build up pressure in the system. If the pressure increases up to 10.0
kg/cm2 jockey pump will stop. Normally Jockey Pumps are alternately running
5The Main pump has a cut-in pressure of 8.0 kg/cm 2. It means that when pressure in the system
drops to 8.0kg/cm2 the main sprinkler pump will run.
6Also the sub-pump has a cut-in pressure of 7.5 kg/cm 2. The sub-pump will run when the water
pressure continuously decreasing up to 7.5 kg/cm2 and main pump will stop.
7The Sprinkler System designed to have pressure regulating valve which is installed at the
discharge pipe of Sprinkler System. This pressure regulating valve set to maintain pressure
at maximum 10.0 kg/cm2. If the pressure is greater than 10 kg/cm 2, the pressure regulating
valve will automatically open and release the excess pressure and maintain 10 kg/cm 2.
8In case of critical fire condition, call local fire department to standby and position the fire truck
accessible to the Siamese connection and pillar stand.
9To shutdown the Sprinkler System operation, stop the sprinkler pump at control panel. Turn
switch 21 into manual mode and then press button 18 to stop the pump. For Jockey Pump
turn switch 23 in auto mode and the jockey pump will automatically stop when exceeding

the pressure as set out in pressure switch. Refer to the Sprinkle System control panel
operating instruction in this section.
10 In case that Sprinkler System is malfunction/breakdown or out of action, you can instruct
the fire truck from the local fire department to supply water in the Sprinkler System via
Siamese connection located at Gridline K11 & K22. Please refer to Sprinkler System Flow
Chart.

C. Operating principle of alarm valve:
When the fire protection system is initially being pressurized, water will flow into the system until
the water supply and system pressure become equalized and the torsion spring closes the clapper in
the alarm check valve. Once the pressure has stabilized, the alarm check valve is in service and the
centrally located groove in the seat ring is sealed. Consequently, with the alarm check valve set for
service, there is no flow through the alarm port to the alarm devices (pressure alarm switch)
When there is a steady flow of water into the sprinkler system due to a sprinkler operation, the
clapper open. Water is then permitted to flow into the centrally located groove in the seat ring and
out through the alarm port towards the restriction assembly. When the flow through the inlet
restriction of the restriction assembly exceeds the flow through the outlet restriction. The retort
chamber begins to fill. Subsequently, the pressured alarm switch will be actuated. The alarm will
continue to be actuated as long as the clapper remains open. Water in alarm lines will
automatically drain out through the drain orifice in the restriction assembly. When the clapper
closes due to a discontinuation in the flow of water into the sprinkler system.
