1 INTRODUCTION.
This manual is written for those who install, operate and maintain fire extinguishing systems manufactured by LPG
Técnicas en Extinción de Incendios, S.A. that use FM200 pressurised at 24.8 or 41.4 bars @ 21ºC.
NOTE: This manual deals with two different system pressure configurations. In order to clarify for the use of
this manual, LOW PRESSURE SYSTEMS are defining those fire extinguishing systems in which the cylinders
are pressurized at 24.8 bars @ 21 ºC. HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEMS are defining those fire extinguishing
systems in which the cylinders are pressurized at 41.4 bars @ 21 ºC.
This manual contains system installation, operation and maintenance instructions. In order to design a system in a
properly mode, consult the “FM200 Engineered System Design Manual” (Ref. MD2703IN).

This manual may contain components which are not specifically included in the UL listing. Design manual
(Ref. MD2703IN00) should be used as the reference for the components that are under the scope UL
listing.

2 MANUAL UTILIZATION.
There are two different useful ways of how to use this manual. Firstly, following the index accurately (mainly when is the
first system to be installed and the personnel has no previous experience) and secondly, as a reference book. In both
cases, it is necessary the use of the drawings provided with the system as a reference.
In the first case, the manual layout allows the installation of a system chronologically. It is also convenient to refer to the
drawings in order to identify the position and number of the components to be installed.
As for the second case, this manual is used when the installer, with previous experience, checks in the first place the
drawings provided with the system. Since the naming and technical data sheet of each part appears in them, each
component is easily located in the index and therefore, the appropriate chapter can be consulted.
This manual is contains specific instructions for installation, maintenance and testing requirements for LPG systems
and components. In any case is intended to replace any requirements specified in the applicable standards, such as the
NFPA 2001 “Standard on Clean Agent Fire Extinguishing Systems” which has to be fulfilled.

3 GENERAL.
FM200 fire extinguishing systems manufactured and designed by LPG are designed as heavy duty equipment, reliable
and easy to mount, with simple test routines to check their operating condition as described in this manual. However,
LPG Técnicas en Extinción de Incendios S.A. wishes to clarify the following:
• All personnel who are assigned to the equipment should be properly trained in its use, inspection, tests and
maintenance. LPG recommends at all times the adoption of safe working practice in accordance with
current health legislation and safety procedure. It is recommended that personnel in charge of installation
and maintenance of the fire extinguishing system should be properly trained in its safe use and should read
the whole of this manual before initiating any of the operations mentioned above.
• All personnel working in an enclosure protected by FM200 Systems should be warned of the effects on
personnel and protected properties. Personnel in the protected area should be trained in the modes of
actuation in case of alarm and in the different types of system activation.
• During installation and maintenance operations personnel should be protected by wearing protective
clothing and shoes and when necessary helmet and gloves. Safety glasses or facemask should be worn
whenever holes are drilled for pipe supports or cylinder bank brackets. Such protection is also needed
when dealing with particle emission.
• Due to possible false alarm of the detection system (if installed) produced by dust or smoke caused by
installation works, the detection system in the area should be isolated or disconnected prior to starting
and during the assembly operations.
• All the equipment and pipe system should be installed in accordance with the project drawings. Systems
are made up of units tested within limitations. The system designer must be consulted whenever changes
are planned for the system or area of protection. Constructive drawings should be corrected and
modifications included in the project.
• An authorized installer or system designer must be consulted after the system has discharged.
• Protective cap must always be installed on the discharge valve when a cylinder is being transported to its
final destination.
• Use one or several of the following sealing compounds as thread joint.

o 0.4 mm thread joint compound.
o Teflon tape.
Whichever sealing compound is used, never cover the two first threads to ensure internal cleanliness of the pipe
system.

4 DESCRIPTION OF FM200 SYSTEMS.

Centralized FM200 fire extinguishing systems manufactured and designed by LPG are developed as heavy duty, reliable
equipment and easy to mount.
LPG centralised systems consist of 4 elements:
1. Storage Systems.
Comprising steel cylinders containing the extinguishing agent.
2. Release System.
Controls the activation and later discharges the gas contained in the cylinders. Consists of a Pilot Valve, which
integrates the different release devices, such as manual release, solenoid valve electrical release and
pneumatic release, which control opening of cylinder valves or auxiliary cylinders.
3. Distribution System.
Pipe network that directs the gas discharge from the cylinders to the protected zone.
4. Support System.
Consisting of a metallic structure (brackets), which supports the cylinder lock. According to the configuration
there are single row and double row models.
The number of FM200 cylinders required to protect the hazard area is determined by specific calculation for each
application.
Cylinder Banks should always be located outside of the protected area. All systems may be actuated automatically by
means of the solenoid valve or manually. Manual actuation systems incorporate devices to prevent accidental
discharges.
Personnel in the protected area should be instructed in the modes of actuation in case of alarm and in system manual
actuation.
This manual does not cover detection or control panel to be used in connection to the system. When a reference to
those devices is made they shall be UL listed and fully compatible with the extinguishing system.

4.1 SYSTEMS USING LPG128, LPG145 OR LPG190.

4.1.1 SYSTEM 1: CYLINDER BANK OF 8 OR LESS CYLINDERS OF 67, 75, 100 and 120 l.
As reference see drawing G040671S “Standard battery for 4/67 l Gas 1 R without weighing device” included in Annex
I.
A Master cylinder is one of the bank of cylinders and is filled with the same contents as an auxiliary cylinder. In this
system pressure released at the opening of the Master cylinder is directed towards the auxiliary cylinder pneumatic
release cones used to pierce the release discs incorporated in their valves. LPG 190-50 (high pressure, technical data
sheet Nr. 178) or LPG 190-55 (low pressure, technical data sheet Nr. 193) valves used on Master and for auxiliary
cylinders of 75, 100 and 120 litres and LPG 145-50 (high pressure, technical data sheet Nr. 188) or LPG 145-55 (low
pressure, technical data sheet Nr. 192) valves for cylinders of 67 litres capacity.
The cylinder bank is delivered fitted with devices to prevent actuation through micro-leakage and to control release of
residual pressure in release pneumatic circuit.
The control panel via a solenoid valve may actuate the system automatically. For manual actuation it is necessary to
access the Master cylinder release, remove the safety seal and pull the lever.

As reference see drawing G090671S “Standard battery for 9/67 l Gas 1 R without weighing
device” included in Annex I.
A pilot cylinder of reduced volume filled with dry nitrogen at 100 bars is used to activate the system. In this case the
pilot cylinder contents are not used as effective extinguishing agent. The pressure released at the opening of the pilot
cylinder is directed towards the auxiliary cylinder pneumatic release cones in order to pierce the release discs
incorporated in their valves. Valve used on the pilot cylinder is the LPG 128-90 (technical data sheet Nr. 132). Auxiliary
cylinders of 75, 100 and 120 litres are fitted with LPG 190-50 (high pressure, technical data sheet Nr. 178) or LPG

4.1.3 SYSTEM 3: MODULAR CYLINDER.

As reference see drawing G011201S “Modular cylinder for environment” included in Annex I.
In this case, the system consists of only one cylinder, which contains the extinguishing agent, and the valve incorporates
all actuation and discharge release systems. The valve makes use of the pressure contained in the cylinder to open.
Normally fitted with manual and electrical solenoid valve actuation system. Pneumatic actuation is also possible for
special applications.
There are modular cylinder models of 5, 13.4 and 26.8 litres fitted with LPG 128-50 valve (high pressure, technical
data sheet Nr. 186) or LPG 128-55 valve (low pressure, technical data sheet Nr.191). Modular cylinders of 40.2 and

As reference see drawing 59022405 “Centralized system 175, 240 l with LP-230 low pressure valve” included in
Annex I.
A pilot cylinder of reduced volume filled with dry nitrogen at 100 bars is used to activate the system. Pressure released
at the opening of the pilot cylinder is directed towards the auxiliary cylinder pneumatic heads in order to pierce the
release discs incorporated in their valves. Valve used on the pilot cylinder is the LPG 128-90 (technical data sheet Nr.
132). A single pilot cylinder is suitable to operate up to 40 FM200 cylinders.
Auxiliary cylinders use the LP-230 valve (technical data sheet Nr. 171) but the head cap is different. This is a blind cap
where it is only possible to install the pressure gauge/pressure switch and the pneumatic head.
This valve incorporates a safety disk in order to evacuate the cylinder gas if overpressure takes place.

5 INSTALLATION
During system mounting it is recommended to make continual use of drawings enclosed with component delivery. This
will help to understand the system better.
As an example Annex I consists of standard drawings showing different models of FM200 cylinder banks. In these the
arrangement of cylinder bank connection of single release system and arrangement of standard support systems can
be seen. These drawings are enclosed as an example, however, for installations accompanied by specific drawings
these will prevail.
Prior to starting installation check the drawings and lists of materials to ensure that all components have been
delivered. Check that the components are not damaged. Any defective components should be replaced. Check the
position of the cylinders and lengths of pipes in the drawings. Check that there are no fixed barriers, which may require
modification of cylinder location, brackets and lengths of pipes. The Project Engineering Department should be informed
of any deviation from the drawings.
Prior to starting installation check the cylinder bank location (generally indicated in the drawings). The location advisable
for the cylinder bank would be a room as near as possible but outside of hazard protected, big enough to house the
equipment and to facilitate mounting and maintenance operations. The equipment should not be exposed to severe
weather conditions, direct contact with flame, excessive humidity and safe from unauthorised handling and mechanical
or chemical damage.

LPG FM200 centralised systems are divided into 4 subsystems:

1. Support system
2. Storage system NOTE: Mounting operations and components for each system are described as follows.
3. Release system The sequence in which components are described is at the same time the order in which
they should be installed
4. Distribution system

5.1 SUPPORT SYSTEM.

5.1.1 SUPPORTS.
Description:
A metallic structure consisting of a frame (bracket) which supports the cylinder block and the manifold.
The brackets for cylinders up to 75 litres capacity are provided with vertical support columns while cylinders of 100,
120, 142, 175 and 240 litre capacity are just fixed to the wall (no support columns).
Mounting:
The following points should be considered at the time of performing the installation:
1. Thoroughly clean the area where the system is going to be located. Check the drawing measurements to
ensure that the cylinder bank fits perfectly in location chosen.
2. Verify that the floor where the system is going to be mounted is as flat as possible.
3. The wall where the bracket is going to be fixed (if necessary) must be solid and in perpendicular position from
the floor (avoid partition walls, Pladur or similar).
4. If the bracket has to be fixed to a partition wall, plates to support the bracket on the opposite face of the
partition wall should be used in accordance with drawing:
Nut M12 fixing bolt
Bracket
Support plate
Partition
The mounting of the bracket and the position of manifold depend on whether the bracket is fitted with vertical side
support column or not and whether connection to pipe system is vertical or to the side.
5.1.2 MOUNTING OF BRACKETS.

LPG supplies the cylinder fixing brackets together with equipment. Among them, three types may be distinguished:
A) Brackets provided with vertical support column.
B) Brackets with no vertical support column.
C) Brackets appropriate for self contained cylinders.
Within each of these types there are different models, which comply with use requirements of system supplied. This
manual describes the characteristics of each of the types but without entering into mounting details for each of the
models consisting of these. To perform installation "in situ" drawings supplied together with equipment should be used
and instructions contained in this manual should be taken into account.
As an example, Annex I contains standard drawings showing brackets described above.

Attention: Always complete the final installation of brackets, cylinders and manifold
pipe prior to performing connection between the manifold pipe and the nozzle system.
This method prevents many adjustment problems during installation of different
cylinder bank components.

Figure 5.1.2.1.1. Example of single row bracket with vertical support column
The characteristic of this type of bracket is that the vertical support columns are included which may be fixed directly to
wall and floor. This configuration gives stability and rigidity to the cylinder bank assembly.
The following models are included within this family:
1. Single row bracket: All bank cylinders are aligned in a single row and the weight of the manifold pipe rests on
the bracket structure.
2. Double row bracket: All bank cylinders are aligned in two parallel rows and the weight of the manifold pipe rests
on the bracket structure.
Enlarged drawings of different models of brackets are enclosed in Annex I. Refer to them for identification of each
element described in the written procedure.
Attention: Never begin to mount bracket by connecting manifold pipe to the

nozzle pipe system. Such method gives rise to many adjustment problems
during the installation of the remainder of the cylinder bank components.

The following points should be considered when faced with the job of mounting one of these brackets:
1. A drawing of the mounted system is delivered with every equipment supplied and at least a standard enlarged
drawing with the bracket. It is essential to understand these drawings thoroughly prior to start mounting.
2. Drawings supplied indicate cylinder bank measurements. Perform an initial check to ensure that the structure
fits perfectly in the area chosen.
3. Clean the area where the bracket is going to be installed.
4. In accordance with system drawings perform a bracket pre-mounting on the floor. It is not necessary to mount
the complete bracket. It is sufficient to mount those structure components closest to the wall.
5. When performing pre-mounting it is necessary to take into account the fixing system of the different structure
parts. Vertical support columns incorporate some welded lugs on their sides. The purpose of these lugs is to
hold the cylinder bank crosspieces . Correct connection between the vertical support column and the
11
crosspiece is described in the following figure.
Tapped plate Manifold

Vertical column
Crosspiece Vertical column
Screw
Lug
6. The manifold seats are mounted directly onto the vertical support columns. Depending on the cylinder bank
2
model, manifold seats may differ according to their position on the cylinder bank. It is essential to consult the
system drawing to determine the exact position of each.
7. Once pre-mounting is performed, put them in their final position taking into consideration the required distance
for connection between the manifold pipe and the nozzle pipe system. When accurate location is found, tighten
all screws, which ensure the connections between support vertical columns and the crosspieces to make the
structure rigid. Align the different structure components vertically and horizontally so as not to distort the
shape or position of bracket.
8. Place the two bank cylinders which are farthest apart from each other onto brackets and tighten. For cylinder
banks consisting of 8 or less cylinders, one of them may be the pilot cylinder. Align the valve outlet as indicated
in system drawing.
NOTE: The valve protective cap must always be installed whenever a cylinder is being transported.
1
Crosspiece: Metallic piece, which is, mounted horizontally joining two vertical support columns.
2
Manifold seat: Metallic piece which supports the manifold pipe weight. It has a square shape and is always mounted on vertical support columns.

9. Locate the manifold pipe onto its seats. warning: the system is not fastened onto any fixed part in the building
33
yet. Take the necessary precautions to prevent the assembly from falling over.
10. Place the manifold retention valves for each of the cylinders presented. It is not necessary to perform final
installation of these parts.
11. Place discharge hoses between cylinder valves and the non-return valves. It is not necessary to perform final
installation of hoses.
12. Find the best location for the manifold with respect to the location and position of the discharge hose. Compare
with the cylinder bank drawings. Once proper location of manifold is found, that is final position of bracket.
13. Check the vertical and horizontal level of the cylinders and mounted parts of the brackets prior to marking
anchoring points on the floor and wall. It is possible to drill taking as a guide those fixing holes on the brackets.
Fix bracket into its final position. High-power chemical or mechanical fixing plugs should be used for floor and
wall fixing. Do not use plastic plugs.
14. Mount the remainder of bank cylinders onto the bracket and finish the metallic structure. It is very important
that all cylinders are in the same direction and vertically levelled so as to prevent problems when installing
discharge hoses.
15. When all the cylinders are mounted with their hoses and non-return valves and all assembly is fixed and
secured, then it is possible to connect the manifold pipe to the nozzle system.
16. Carry out the installation of the remainder cylinder bank parts in accordance with the instructions described in
this manual.
3
Manifold pipe: Length of pipe, which collects all the gas, discharged from the cylinder bank and directs this to the nozzle system.

5.1.2.2 Mounting of brackets with no vertical support columns.

There are differences between the brackets depending on the cylinder/valve configuration.
Systems using LPG128, LPG145 or LP190: Use front crosspieces.
Systems using LP-230: Do not use front crosspieces and the threaded simple plate have “U” form.

Figure 5.1.2.2.1. Mounting of brackets with no vertical support columns. Single row. 3 cylinders
The characteristic of this type of bracket is that there are no vertical support columns. The structure consists of
interconnecting crosspieces which are fixed directly to the wall and which hold the cylinders securely. The manifold pipe
is supported by special squares independent from the rest of the bracket and also fixed to the wall. This is a simple
structure, easy to install. Normally it is used with high volume cylinders.
Within this type of bracket are the following models:
1. Single row bracket: All bank cylinders are aligned in one single row. The weight of the manifold pipe rests on
independent squares directly fixed to the wall.
2. Double row bracket: All bank cylinders are aligned in two parallel rows and weight of manifold rests on independent
squares directly fixed to the wall.

B2) BRACKETS WITH NO VERTICAL SUPPORT COLUMNS FOR SYSTEMS USING LP-230.
Figure 5.1.2.2.2. Mounting of brackets with no vertical support columns. Single row. 2 or 3 cylinders
The characteristic of this type of bracket is that there are no vertical support columns. The structure consists of
crosspieces which are fixed directly to the wall and which hold the cylinders securely (7 / 8). The manifold pipe is
supported by special squares independent from the rest of the bracket and also fixed to the wall (9). This is a simple
structure, easy to install. Normally it is used with high volume cylinders.
The bracket used in the low pressure system is always in one single row. With this type of bracket all bank cylinders are
aligned in one single row and the weight of the manifold pipe rests on independent squares directly fixed onto the wall.
Drawings of different models of brackets are enclosed in Annex I. Refer to them for identification of each part described
in the written procedure.
Attention: Never begin to mount the bracket by connecting the manifold

pipe to the nozzle pipe system. Such method gives rise to many adjustment
problems during installation of the rest of the cylinder bank components.
When faced with the job of mounting one of these brackets it is essential to take into account the following points:
1. A drawing of the mounted system is delivered with every equipment supplied and at least a standard enlarged
drawing of the bracket. It is essential to understand these drawings thoroughly prior to mounting.
2. Drawings supplied indicate cylinder bank measurements. Perform an initial check to ensure that the structure
fits perfectly into the area chosen.
3. Clean the area where the bracket is going to be installed.
4. Determine approximately the final position of cylinder bank taking into account the manifold pipe connection to
the nozzle system.
5. See drawing for the height indicated for bracket installation. Draw a levelled horizontal line.
6. Arrange bracket onto the line and mark fixing drill holes on the wall. To facilitate operation it is advisable to
dismantle the assembly and arrange the rear crosspiece only, the one that goes on the wall (section "U"
shaped).

7. Perform fixing drill holes to the wall. Fix bracket into its final position. Fixing should be performed by means of
high strength chemical or metallic plugs. Do not use plastic plugs. If the wall is not strong enough perform the
type of mounting described in 5.1.1.
8. Place onto brackets the two bank cylinders, which are farthest apart from each other in accordance with the
location indicated in the drawing. Mount bracket front crosspiece (square section pipe).
9. Install the manifold squares in accordance with the measurements indicated in the drawing. High-power
chemical or metallic fixing plugs should be used. Do not use plastic plugs. If the wall is not strong enough
perform type of mounting described in 5.1.1.
Attention: Do not try to move a cylinder to its location by tightening the nuts located on the
division bars, thus pushing cylinder by the front or intermediate crosspieces. These elements are
not designed for this purpose and may suffer distortion.
10. Place the manifold pipe onto squares. To prevent its accidental fall position the manifold "U" fixing allowing
manifold pipe movement.
11. Mount the discharge hoses. Place the manifold non-return valves for each of the cylinders. It is not necessary
to perform final installation of the non -return valves.
12. Place the discharge hoses between the cylinder valves and the non-return valves. It is not necessary to perform
final installation of the hoses.
13. Find the best position for manifold with regard to the location and position of the discharge hoses. Compare
with the cylinder bank drawings. Once proper location of manifold is found, that is final position of the bracket.
14. Fix the manifold onto squares with the help of manifold "U" fixing.
15. Mount the remainder of bank cylinders onto the bracket and finished metallic structure. It is very important
that all cylinders are in the same direction and vertically levelled so as to prevent problems when installing the
discharge hoses.
16. When all cylinders are mounted with their hoses and non-return valves and all assembly is fixed and secured,
then it is possible to connect the manifold pipe to the nozzle system.
17. Carry out the installation of the remainder of the cylinder bank parts in accordance with the instructions
described in this manual.

These brackets are designed for holding one single cylinder. Installation is very simple. Just place the bracket against
the wall to the height indicated in the drawings supplied. Fix the cylinder taking care that the pressure gauge and
manual actuation system are easily visible and accessible. Once the cylinder is installed connect to the nozzle line
together with the discharge hose supplied.
Annex I includes different mounting systems depending on the modular cylinder volume. Refer to them to identify each
one of the elements described in procedure.
High power chemical or metallic fixing plugs should be used for fixing bracket onto the wall. Do not use plastic plugs. If
the wall is not strong enough carry out mounting as described in 5.1.1.
It is very important never to install nozzles directly at cylinder outlet for two reasons:

- Firstly, if nozzle is installed directly on valve outlet there are many possibilities that the nozzle will be at a
person's height. In case of cylinder discharge (accidental or otherwise) pressure released could cause serious
injuries to personnel who might be somewhere near the cylinder.
- Secondly, the strength of reaction produced by the discharge is always generated at the gas outlet. If coupled
to the cylinder outlet, the result could be that the wall bracket could be violently pulled out.

The relief valve device on the head cap (made up of parts 20, 21, 22 and 23) prevents accidental cylinder discharge
caused by micro leakage of pressure produced by some release devices.
The safety disk (10) is set ready to burst and release the internal cylinder pressure when the pressure reaches values
slightly inferior to the cylinder hydraulic pressure. This device prevents an excessive rise in pressure (for example, due to
over heating) that may cause the assembly to explode.
The burst disk (19) allows actuation of manual and pneumatic release devices. When this disk bursts by means of the
release system connected to it, the valve opens. Its set pressure does not allow bursting caused by cylinder over
pressure.
Pneumatic cone
When a cylinder is used as an auxiliary cylinder,

the valve incorporates pneumatic release cones
on the burst disk and a cap on the solenoid valve
coupling as it is show in the figure.
Solenoid cap
Manual pneumatic release
Cylinder banks consisting of 8 or less cylinders

one of them it is used as a master cylinder.
This master cylinder incorporates all cylinder
bank external actuation systems. As a
standard master cylinder valve incorporates
double manual-pneumatic release and a
solenoid valve provided with 1/8" pneumatic
outlet, as it is show in the figure.
Connecting hose

Manual pneumatic release
In the case of self-contained cylinders, the valve

incorporates a manual lever release and a
solenoid valve as it is show in the figure.
Solenoid Valve
To prevent uncontrolled accidental discharges during installation, maintenance operations or handling of the valve,
remove the head cap (8) and place the cap (25) on the valve outlet. This simple operation prevents risks; in case of
accidental release the orifice (33) will direct gas from the cylinder to the atmosphere in a controlled way, thus
preventing valve actuation. The safety disk cap (9) incorporates orifices, which allow controlled gas discharge in case
over pressurisation bursts the safety disk (10).
Mounting:
The valve is supplied mounted onto the cylinder. Do not try to disassemble any of the accessories that come
incorporated. The mounting parts attached to the valve (discharge hose and release devices) should be performed
later, following the order they are described.
NOTE: Always consult the instructions contained in this manual prior to mounting or disassembling any
valve part. This equipment is pressurised. Negligence or bad handling could cause uncontrolled discharge,
injuries to personnel and damage to property. In case of doubt, always consult LPG technical department.
NOTE: For any installation or maintenance operation, the valve head cap (8) must remain dismantled as a
safety measure. When any mounting, maintenance or test operation is finished, do not forget to replace the
head cap. Hand tightened; check that head cap sealing O-ring (7) is mounted in its interior.

OPERATION OF VALVE MODELS LPG 128, LPG 145 AND LPG 190.
This section describes the operation of valves, models LPG 128, LPG 145 and LPG 190. Given that the operation is
similar for all 3 models, only valve model LPG 128 is shown in the graphic below as a visual aid to this definition:

This actuation system is used for auxiliary cylinders.

LPG Valves make use of cylinder internal pressure for opening.
The only way to activate valve is by making the piston (11) move downwards.
When valve is at rest, the pressure is retained by the sealing element (12) and the release disk (8). The release
pneumatic cone (13) incorporates in its interior a needle-piston (14). When the pressure released by the pilot or
master cylinder approaches the rear of the needle-piston (14), it is displaced until the release disk (8) bursts. At that
moment the pressure retained by the release disk is released and driven over the piston (11). Given that the ratio of
surface area between the piston (11) and the sealing element (12) is 3:1, the piston moves downwards and thus, opens
the valve.

This actuation system is used for master cylinders in cylinder banks consisting of 8 or less cylinders with no directional

The LPG valves make use of cylinder internal pressure for opening.
The only way to activate valve is by making the piston (1) move downwards.
When valve is at rest, pressure is retained by the sealing element (2) and the release disk (3) and the piston (4) placed
inside the solenoid valve (5).
When solenoid valve is energised (5), the piston (4) moves backwards thereby allowing free passage of pressure. This
pressure is directed through a flexible hose to the manual pneumatic release. The released pressure pushes the needle-
piston (6) bursting of the disk (3). At that moment pressure retained by disk is released and driven over the piston
(1). Given that the ratio of surface area between the piston (1) and the sealing element (2) is 3:1, the piston moves
downwards and opens the valve.
Release is also possible by directly actuating the manual release lever (7).

This actuation system is used for pilot cylinders and modular cylinders. The method described is valid for the manual
lever release as well as for the double manual pneumatic release when manual actuation is performed.

When the release is activated manually by pulling the lever (4) backwards, the needle-piston (5) is pushed downwards,
this will cause the release disk (3) to burst. At that moment the pressure retained by the release disk is released and
directed over the piston (1). Given that the ratio of surface area between the piston (1) and the sealing element (2) is

5.2.1.2 Systems using LP-230.

Description:
LPG LP-230 valve

Technical data sheet N. 124
LP-230 Valve model is used with cylinders of 142, 175 and 240 litres capacity.
This valve is made of brass and consists of two parts: “valve body” and “head cap”. Both parts are joined by means of
four screws to support the force done over the cap.
This valve incorporates a safety disk rated to 60 ± 3 bar which is approved according to directive 97/23/EC. This
safety disk has the function to allow a controlled discharge of the extinguishing agent in case an overpressure takes
place in the bottle.
Once the battery is discharged, the valve has to undergo a maintenance procedure in order to become functionally
useful another time (See 8.7. Actuation after cylinder bank discharge).
LP-230 valve is a large outlet one making possible the discharge of the cylinders with its maximum charge allowed in
less than 10 seconds. This factor allows the designing of systems with a high discharge volume but with a less cost as
much in materials as in time of installation.
Following technical characteristics of LP-230 valve are shown:
Outlet Free cross Hydraulic test

Valve Cylinder thread
thread sectional area pressure
LP-230 3 1/2” –12 UN R 2 ½” 3318 mm 2
150 bar

For further information about valve components, refer to figure 5.2.1.2.1. which shows an enlargement of valve model
LP-230.
IMPORTANT: There is a “locking piston screw” port (5) in the valve body. This screw is used
to LOCK the piston avoiding its movement once the valve has been charged. This device
prevents accidental discharges during the maintenance or the transport of the system.
When the cylinder has been installed, the locking screw must be unscrew as it is show in
the adhesive fixed in the cylinder in order to put the valve in an operational mode.
Inside the “valve body” (7) there is a “piston” (13) that prevents the discharge of the gas stored into the cylinder through
the outlet port. The mentioned piston separates the inside part of the valve body in two differentiated chambers: the
lowest chamber is the one that communicates with the pressure of the bottle and the upper chamber that is joined to
the head cap which holds the piston closed. The piston remains closed because of the recovery spring of the piston (18)
and because the pressure of the upper chamber and the cylinder are the same.
The discharge of the valve is produced by the rupture of the burst disk (25) placed in the head cap, the pressure
accumulated in the upper chamber of the valve body goes out in a safe mode through an orifice placed in the head cap.
When the pressure of the lowest chamber of the body (cylinder) is greater than the pressure of top chamber, the
piston goes up and the valve opens discharging the gas contained in the cylinder by a 2 ½” outlet port (that is equivalent
to a 65 mm. nominal diameter).
The systems that actuate the “pneumatic release head” (36 and 38), that is the one that breaks the burst disk, are:
electric by solenoid (40) and breaking the disk by means of the manual lever release (29).
The “head cap” (46) contains the control and devices: pressure gauge/ pressure switch, electric release systems,
manual lever release. The head cap allows the connection of a pressure switch instead of a blind cap (45).
This valve has been designed so that dismounting the pressure gauge/pressure switch (24), the pressure to the
release systems is locked. In addition the pressure gauge can be mounted or dismounted in a safe way without
unexpected leakages during its manipulation.
The valve incorporates a pressure gauge/pressure switch (rated to 0-69 bar) to monitor the internal pressure of the
cylinder.
The connection of the outlet valve to the rigid release hose is by means of a grooved coupling.

to personnel and damage to property. In case of doubt, always consult LPG technical department.

OPERATION OF LP-230 VALVE MODEL.
This section describes the operation of LP-230 valve model.

PNEUMATIC HEAD ACTUATION (AUXILIARY CYLINDER).
AT REST ACTUATED
The only way to activate the valve is making the piston (1) move upwards.
When valve is at rest, the pressure of the upper chamber is equal as the cylinder pressure, piston (1) is placed down
and the sealing element (2) maintain the valve closed.
The release 2 ways pneumatic head (3) incorporates in its interior a needle piston (5). When the release system is
activated, the pressure released by pilot cylinder arrives to the pneumatic heads of the auxiliary cylinders (3). The needle
piston (5) is displaced breaking the burst disk (4). At this moment, the pressure retained in the upper chamber is
release and piston (1) moves upward opening the valve.

Mounting:
The pressure gauge is supplied mounted on the FM200 cylinder valve. If for any reason you have to disassemble (for
example, to remove solenoid valve), follow the procedure written in this manual.
Systems using LPG128, LPG145 or LPG190: Remove the cylinder valves head caps.
Low pressure systems LP-230: Tight the locking screw device to LOCK the piston avoiding its movement.
From here, the procedure is the same for both types of systems. Remove its protector cap by unscrewing by hand.
Using a fixed wrench, loosen the fixing nut contained between the pressure gauge and valve body and remove the
pressure gauge unscrewing it by hand.
Prior to starting mounting the pressure gauge on the valve check for the o-ring seal and a fixing nut. Prior to connecting
the pressure gauge, move the nut against the o-ring by unscrewing the first one. Begin to thread the pressure gauge
into its coupling by turning by hand, at the same time with the help of a fixed wrench stop the movement of the fixing nut.
In this way, the fixing nut pushes the o-ring preventing it is ejected by cylinder pressure.
If during this operation, the fixing nut touches the valve body (it is detected because flattening of the o-ring may not be
visible) loosen the fixing nut a little and carry on.
When gauge reaches the bottom and you observe that o-ring is properly fitted, check the position of the lens and the
pressure-indicating needle. If the lens is not in its normal reading position, by holding the fixing nut with a fixed wrench so
that it will not move, rotate the gauge until a suitable position is found. Once in position, tighten the fixing nut against the
valve body so as to fix its position. Connect electrical connection.
Check with soapy water for possible leakage for 10 minutes prior to completion of the operation.
The electrical connection should be performed when installation mounting is complete in accordance with the
specifications in section 5.5. Electrical Installation.
Finish the procedure installing the cylinder valves head caps in high pressure systems and unlock the piston unscrewing
the locking screw device in low pressure systems.
Nitrogen Pressure Gauge / Pressure Switch.
This pressure gauge is installed in pilot cylinders.

This device allows reading of Nitrogen cylinder internal pressure. This pressure gauge includes electrical connection to
provide external signal when pressure inside cylinder falls below 88 bar or gets above 114 bars. Normally with
pressure closed.
O-Ring
Fixing Nut
Figure 5.2.2.3. Nitrogen Pressure Gauge / Pressure switch. Scale 0-134 bar.
Mounting:
The pressure gauge is supplied mounted on the FM200 cylinder valve. If for any reason you have to disassemble (for
example, to remove solenoid valve), remove its protector cap by unscrewing by hand. Using a fixed wrench, loosen the
fixing nut contained between the pressure gauge and valve body and remove the pressure gauge by unscrewing by
hand.

Prior to starting mounting of the pressure gauge on the valve check for the o-ring seal and a fixing nut. Prior to
connecting the pressure gauge, move the nut against the o-ring by unscrewing the first one. Begin to thread the
pressure gauge into its coupling by turning by hand, at the same time with the help of a fixed wrench stop the
movement of the fixing nut. In this way, the fixing nut pushes the o-ring preventing it is ejected by cylinder pressure.
If during this operation, the fixing nut touches the valve body (it is detected because flattening of the o-ring may not be
visible) loosen the fixing nut a little and carry on.
When gauge reaches the bottom and you observe that o-ring is properly fitted, check the position of the lens and the
pressure-indicating needle. If the lens is not in its normal reading position, by holding the fixing nut with a fixed wrench so
that it will not move, rotate the gauge until a suitable position is found. Once in position, tighten the fixing nut against the
valve body so as to fix its position. Connect electrical connection.
Check with soapy water for possible leakage for 10 minutes prior to completion of the operation.
5.2.3 MANIFOLD DISCHARGE PIPE.
It is used the same type of manifold for high and low pressure systems.

Mounting:
The manifold pipe is located above cylinder bank, on the squares directly fixed on the wall or on vertical support columns.
Assembly of the manifold pipe is performed at the same time as the mounting of the bracket. Avoid positioning the
manifold by initially connecting it to the distribution system as such operation may modify the elevation between the
manifold connections and the location of bank cylinders. See 5.1.2 Mounting of Brackets for further information.
All manifold threaded connections should be sealed with Teflon tape. Do not apply any Teflon tape to the two first
threads.

5.2.4 FM200 CHECK VALVES.

The use of the different check valves is related to the valves used in the system.
Description:

Mounting:
NOTE: Do not remove the protective caps from cylinders until they are fixed onto their brackets
and only immediately prior to installation of the discharge hose.
The cylinder-valve assembly is supplied fully mounted. Place all cylinders onto the bracket. To prevent damage to the
cylinders through accidental dropping, locate the front pieces of bracket prior to removing the protective caps. Tighten
the front pieces allowing the cylinder freedom of movement. Next, remove protective caps.
Systems using LPG128, LPG145 and LPG190: Remove the valve head cap.
Systems using LP-230: Cylinders are supplied from LPG with the locking screw device locking the piston. This device
avoids piston movement during the transport and manipulation of the cylinder.
All cylinder valves should be aligned in the same direction (manifold and valve LPG stamp should be facing towards the
front).
Do not forget, when release system mounting is finished, fix the cylinders onto the bracket tightening firmly.
When the complete system installation is finished (including the release devices) install and tight manually all LPG valve
head caps in high pressure systems and unlock the piston in low pressure systems.

5.2.5.1 Cylinder inscriptions.

Under legal requirement, all cylinders should consist of a number of inscriptions attached to their shoulders indicating
the name of manufacturer, quality trade names, hydraulic pressure test, gas contained and other data. The
arrangement of LPG cylinder marks is specified as follows:

5.2.5.2 FM200 identifying label.

With each delivery, LPG supplies one adhesive identifying label for each cylinder delivered for both high and low pressure
systems. To prevent labels from deterioration during transport and cylinder installation, they are delivered together with
the accompanying documentation. These labels identify the gas contained in the cylinder, the quantity of gas contained,
the weight of the empty cylinder, the working pressure, the cylinder identification number and the date of fill.

As a legal requirement, it is compulsory for each cylinder to have its own identifying label. Therefore, it is very important
for the installer to have each label attached to its cylinder as soon as the installation is finished. To perform this
operation, the manufacturing lot number on each cylinder shoulder should be compared with the identifying numbers
printed on the labels supplied.
The labels should be attached directly onto cylinder body, in a visible location and in a normal reading position. To
facilitate adhesion of the labels, first wipe away dirt, dust, oil or grease from cylinder area where the label is going to be
placed.
In addition, cylinders equipped with LP230 incorporate another label where it is show the operation for locking the
piston, in order to transport and manipulation of the cylinders with LP-230 valve in a safely way and the later operation
to put the valve in an operational mode.

its installation.
When this hose is used in cylinder banks, it is always in combination with the 2 ½” check valve. See section 5.2.4.
FM200 Check Valves.

5.2.8 PRESSURE SWITCH WITH LOCKING DEVICE.
Description:
The pressure switch closes or opens an electric circuit when a gas discharge from the manifold pipe takes place. The
electric signal may be monitored by a control panel or used to operate and/or shut down other electrical devices. Once
activated it may only be re-armed by manually by removing the sphere (1), which incorporates the latching mechanism.
Re-assembly should be performed at the storage location on the pressure switch itself.
Figure 5.2.8.1. Pressure switch with locking device

Mounting:
Mounted on the manifold pipe. Apply Teflon tape to the threaded connection taking care not to cover the two first
threads. Tighten the union using a fixed wrench on the brass body, never on the connection box. The electrical
connection should be performed when installation mounting is complete in accordance with the specifications in section
5.5. Electrical Installation.

5.3 RELEASE SYSTEM.

This is the system which allows command of gas discharge contained in the cylinders. The LPG FM200 standard
release system is pneumatically operated. Annex 1 contains as an example, drawings of the following release systems:
Battery Systems using LPG145 or LPG190 valves
Sketch for discharge and release system: FM200 cylinder bank provided with master cylinder (cylinder banks of 8 or
less cylinders of 67, 75, 100 or 120 litres).
Sketch for discharge and release system: FM200 cylinder bank provided with pilot cylinder (up to 40 cylinders of 67,
75, 100 or 120 litres).
The pneumatic release consists of one master cylinder or one or two pilot cylinders, with a pilot valve each other
incorporating. The pilot valve combines different release devices, such as manual release devices, electric actuation by
means of solenoid valve, which once activated carries out the opening of the auxiliary cylinder valves. This is a flexible
system, which may incorporate more than one pilot cylinder and command release from several cylinder banks
simultaneously.
Battery Systems using LP-230
Sketch for discharge and release system: FM200 cylinder bank provided with master cylinder (cylinder banks of 2 or 3
cylinders of 142, 175 or 240 litres).
Sketch for discharge and release system: FM200 modular cylinder of 142, 175 or 240 litres.
The pneumatic release consists of one master cylinder with a pilot valve. The pilot valve combines different release
devices, such as manual release devices, electric actuation by solenoid valve or exploders which once activated carries
out the opening of the auxiliary cylinder valves.
The drawings mentioned above show the connection of release systems of different complexity. However, these
drawings are included as examples.
Components which may be included into a FM200 release system and the mounting of each are described as follows.
Mounting is performed in the order the parts are described.

If for any reason, breakdown or under expressed instructions of LPG Technical Service it is essential to remove solenoid
valve from pilot cylinder valve, you should:
SYSTEMS USING LPG128, LPG145 or LPG190:
The procedure specified is adapted for master cylinder valves, pilot cylinder valves or self-contained valves.
- First, dismantle the head cap of valve.
- Second, disconnect the pressure gauge. When the pressure gauge is disconnected, the pressure supply to the
solenoid valve is shut-off. This operation should be performed with great care and carried out carefully to prevent
false operation. Therefore, the operator should stand sideways to prevent a sudden ejection the pressure gauge.
- Next, dismantle the connector (4), the nut (2), remove the coil (3) and finally loosen the fixing nut (1) with the
appropriate round spanner. Now it is possible to remove the rest of the solenoid valve.

Mounting is carried out by following the disassembly procedure in reverse: mount the solenoid, connect the pressure
gauge and finally install the head cap.
In order to dismantle the solenoid valve it is needed to use a rounded spanner.
After mounting a solenoid valve check that there is no leakage by applying soapy water to all the solenoid valve body,
previously removing connector and coil. Check likewise for leakage on the valve head (head orifice) prior to notifying that
work is completed. The equipment remains in service when the valve head cap is replaced.
SYSTEMS USING LP-230:

- Tighten the locking screw device to LOCK the piston avoiding that an accidental discharge may occur.
- Disconnect the pressure gauge. When the pressure gauge is disconnected, the pressure supply to the solenoid
valve is shut-off. This operation should be performed with great care and carried out carefully to prevent false
operation. Therefore, the operator should stand sideways to prevent a sudden ejection the pressure gauge.
- Next, dismantle the connector (4), the nut (2), remove the coil (3) and finally loosen the fixing nut (1) with the
appropriate round spanner. Now it is possible to remove the rest of the solenoid valve.

Following the indication on the drawings mount the pneumatic coupling on the LP-230 head cap and tight it
NOTE: Prior to mounting the head on the valve it is important to check that needle piston set is
completely retracted in the head, by pushing down with a screwdriver. Otherwise an accidental
cylinder discharge may occur.

5.3.8 DECOMPRESSION SCREW.

This component can be used all battery configurations.
Description:
After an activation of the cylinder bank, the pneumatic release circuit remains pressurised with nitrogen from the
master or the pilot cylinder. To decompress the circuit in a safe and guided way, the decompression screw is operated
(see 8.5.3 Release line decompression). There are two models available: C & L.
“L” model is used in high pressure systems, while the “C” model is used in low pressure systems.

Screw model “C”
Figure 5.3.8.2. Decompression screw mounted on pneumatic heads (low pressure systems)
Mounting:
Systems using LPG145 or LPG128 valves: Model “L” is mounted on any of the intermediate cylinder cones, connected
instead of the retaining screw.
Systems using LP-230 valve: It is only used the Model “C” which is directly mounted on the pneumatic head of the last
cylinder of the battery.
Thread the part using a fixed wrench and do not apply sealing compound to the joint, as the seal is conical. Their
location is determined in the release system drawings.

5.3.9 DECOMPRESSION VALVE R ¼”.

This component can be used in all battery configurations.
Description:
The decompression valve for pneumatic release systems prevents that an over pressurisation on the release line
produced by micro-leakage can produce an accidental discharge of the cylinder bank. At rest this device allows the
external exit of micro-leakage. In case of real actuation of the system it automatically closes preventing the loss of
pressure on the release circuit.
Figure 5.3.9.1. Decompression valve
Mounting:
The ¼” decompression valve should be installed in accordance with the drawings. Generally mounted on a Tee at the
nitrogen pilot cylinder valve outlet and the first hose on the release line (see examples in the drawing included in Annex
I). The connection does not require sealing compounds.
This device is only used in cylinder banks that use pilot cylinders. In cylinder banks that do not use a pilot cylinder the
function of this component is achieved by similar devices integrated in other cylinder bank components.

5.3.10 RELEASE LINE TEFLON FLEXIBLE HOSES.

NOTE: Avoid twisting flexible hoses during the mounting operations. Therefore, hold the
coupling cap with a pair of pliers while the connection is tightened by a fixed wrench.
5.4 DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM.

This is the assembly of pipe and fittings, which directs the gas discharge from the cylinders to the protected zone. The
components used in the distribution system are the same for high and low pressure systems.
5.4.1 PIPE AND FITTINGS.
• Pipes should be installed in accordance with the isometric drawing accompanying the project. Measurements,
dimensions and pipe quality indicated in the drawing have to be complied with, as are any modifications relating
to pipe dimensions or measurements that would impair system operation. In case of any modification being
required, the engineering department responsible for the system design should be notified as appropriate.
• The pipe system should comply with the pressure requirements specified in table below. ASTM grade A-106ºC
B seamless steel pipe of the following classes (According to ANSI B-36-10) is recommended:
Pipe Size Max. Working pressure Pipe class
¾”
1”
1¼” 24.8 bar @ 21 ºC

1½” (low pressure systems) Sch 40,
equivalent or
2” 41.4 bar@ 21 ºC stronger
(high pressure systems)
2½”
3”
4”
• Fittings shall be according ANSI/ASA 3000 and shall be rated at least to 3000 lbs/in . 2
• Connection by threaded accessories:

o Welding for pipes smaller or equal to 2" nominal diameter should not be performed in situ. The
connections performed in situ should be threaded.

• The installation must be earthed.

• The colour of pipe paint should be red (RAL 3000).
In fact, it is possible to have FM200 systems with two working pressure: 24.8 bars and 41.4 bars. In both cases the
Sch. 40 piping is indicated.
5.4.2 SUPPORTS.
• Every installation should have a minimum of two supports that hold the pipe system.
• The maximum distance between the two supports along pipe should never exceed the following values:
Nominal Nominal Maximum Distance
Diameter (mm) Diameter (inches) among supports (m)
10 3/8” 1.0
15 ½” 1.5
20 ¾” 1.8
25 1” 2.1
32 1¼” 2.4
40 1½” 2.7
50 2” 3.4
65 2½” 3.5
80 3” 3.7
100 4” 4.3
• Whenever pipe is more than 2 inches (DN 50) and table distances cannot be adhered to because of building
designs, these distances may be raised to 6 m between supports, as long as they are double.
• The pipe supports should be located next to the pipe joints, to elbows and to changes in pipe direction.
• The supports should connect the pipe system directly to the building structure and should not be used to
support other objects. The parts of the building where supports are fixed should be strong enough to take the
load (see table for design load). Otherwise, additional straps should be fixed to other resistant parts. Only pipes
with nominal diameters less than or equal to 50 mm may be attached to the metallic structures in the form of
trusses or concrete slabs (the design should be approved by the authorities). The concrete fastening plugs
should be located at least 150 mm away from the edge of the slab.
• The distance between the nozzle and its support should be the shortest possible:
o For pipes with a smaller or equal diameter to 25 mm, the maximum distance from last support to
nozzle should be 100 mm.
o For pipes more than 25 mm diameter, the maximum distance from last support to nozzle should be
250 mm.
• Support type hangers or manifold "U" fixings are recommended. Pipe brackets and other fittings for holding
pipes, should completely surround the pipe and be closed.
• Supports should comply with the following minimum requirements for sectional areas and depth anchoring:
Pipe nominal Design load Thread size Minimum depth of anchor for
Minimum support
concrete fastening plugs
diameter (N) section (mm) (metric) (mm)
Up to DN 50 (2”) 2000 30 8 30

8500 227 16 50
DN 200 (8”)
10000 150 20 60
DN 250 (10”)
• The minimum cross-sectional area of the supports should be no less than 30 mm . 2
• The support material should be at least 3 mm thick. If galvanised, 2.5 mm thickness will be enough. In the case
of heat galvanised supports, the minimum dimensions should be 25 mm x 1.5 mm for pipes up to 50 mm (2")
nominal diameter and 12 mm x 1.5 mm for approved models.
The following types of support are included as examples:

5.4.3 NOZZLES.
This component can be used all systems configurations
Technical Data Sheet N.135 and 136
Description:
The nozzles are the devices through which the gas is discharged within the protected enclosure. They consist of a head
(1) containing a multiple number of orifices in the interior in which a diaphragm (2) is fitted with one single calibrated
orifice. This device is designed to produce optimum gas distribution. The pressure in the pipe system will depend on the
pressure losses (pressure drop) of the pipe and the orifice used in the diaphragm. This orifice should be calibrated in
accordance with the hydraulic calculation for each installation.
Figure 5.4.3.1. Nozzle.
Nozzles shall incorporate an orifice plate with drill diameter according with hydraulic calculations and limitations of area
ratio to the internal pipe diameter.

Mounting:
Locate the diaphragm inside the nozzle and lock its position by means of an elastic washer, Segel type (supplied
together with the nozzle and the diaphragm). Apply thread sealing compound or Teflon tape to the distribution pipe
thread. Connect the nozzle and tighten using a fixed wrench.
ACCEPTED BANNED
NOTE: Fixing of the nozzles and nozzle alignment is very important. The nozzles should never
point at false ceilings or mobile parts as gas discharge could raise the ceiling tiles or drag objects.
Never locate discharge nozzles directly on the valve discharge opening.
To prevent errors during the installation, all nozzles should incorporate legible and long lasting inscriptions indicating the
calibrated diameter of the diaphragm, and the identification of its location in the drawing with reference to the project
and the system hydraulic calculations. Normally LPG carries out a mechanic engraving (punched) on the nozzle bodies
with the above mentioned inscriptions.

5.5 ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION.
EVERY FIRE FIGHTING INSTALLATION SHOULD BE CONNECTED TO GROUND
After carrying out the pneumatic mounting installation you should:

Systems using LPG128, LPG145 or LPG190 valves: Dismantle all pilot valve head caps.
Systems using LP-230 valves: Dismantle the pilot valve head cap and tight the locking screw device to LOCK the piston
of the auxiliary cylinders. In self-contained cylinders LOCK the piston of the valve.
These actions must be done before carrying out the electrical connection of the components that require so. When
these components are fed through to a control panel, it is recommended to read the installation instructions carefully
for the main control so as to prevent accidental electrical device effect that may, in some cases, cause complete
discharge of the whole cylinder bank.
NOTE: LPG electrical components do not have polarity. All electrical connections should be undertaken in
such a way that the cables reach right to the device to prevent cable confusion later for starting up and
maintenance operations.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION OF THE PRESSURE SWITCH WITH LOCKING DEVICE:
For a normally closed circuit connect to terminals 21 and 22. For a normally open circuit connect to terminals 13 and
14.

SOLENOID VALVE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION:
NOTE: The voltage supply should only be done at the moment of detecting a fire, as it will produce
cylinder discharge. Ensure that the solenoid supply is shut off during electrical connection.
Nominal voltage: 24 VDC

Cold consumption: 13 W
Hot consumption: 10 W

5.6 INSTALLATION FINAL REQUIREMENTS.

• All the cylinders, including pilot cylinders, should have an adhesive label attached indicating their identification
number (coinciding with the one engraved on its shoulder) gross weight, net weight and date of fill.
• All the cylinders mounting LP-230 valves should have an adhesive label attached indicating the procedure to
manipulate the locking screw device. Once the installation of the system is finished, it is needed to unlock the
piston of the valves unscrewing the locking screw device.
• The paint of all components should be in perfect condition. Repaint those areas where the paint has been
damaged. In case of any oxide, prepare the surface; apply a coat of metal primer and finish by applying a top
coat of paint. The colours for FM200 fire extinguishing systems are: (RAL 3000) red for the cylinder body and
shoulder, and (RAL 3000) red for the pipe system.
• Each cylinder bank should be identified by means of a notice indicating:
o Hazard protected
o Warnings
o Instructions for use and manual operation
• The notices should be firmly affixed and visible to the parts fitted and must be resistant to climatic and
environmental conditions to which they may be exposed (dust, dirt, etc.).
• All gauges should indicate an accurate pressure reading for each cylinder.

6 COMMISSIONING AND MAINTENANCE.

A FM200 extinguishing system should be inspected and tested by trained and competent personnel during system
commissioning after its installation phase. Furthermore, a system inspection and maintenance schedule should be
followed. The objective of a periodical inspection is to ensure that the system is in perfect operating condition at all
times. It is also useful for identification of problems due to age, accidental and environmental damage, unauthorised
handling, changes in the contents of protected volume, uses, openings communicating with rooms and in general all
those factors which may negatively affect the predicted performance of the extinguishing system.
The commissioning the fire extinguishing system consists of an installation inspection to evaluate compliance of installed
system with that projected and the execution of a series of tests, which ensure proper operation of the extinguishing
system.
This document only deals with commissioning operations and inspections for cylinder banks and extinguishing systems.
For detection system commissioning operations consult your supplier or detector manufacturer.
Only personnel properly trained in fire extinguishing techniques should perform system hand-over inspection and
commissioning.
Study in detail the cylinder bank connection and in particular the release system.
As occasionally only one release system is used to control discharge of several cylinder banks, which may even be
located on different distant locations. It is recommended to study the installation drawings carefully showing the
connection diagrams and the LPG standard cylinder bank releases; in the case of commissioning of a non-standard
cylinder bank it is necessary to consider the drawing supplied together with the cylinder bank components.
The tests to be carried out for system commissioning should follow the steps described in this manual, as a failure in
execution could cause accidental system discharge. Extinguishing system tests for components, which are not
described in this manual, should not be carried out.
During the execution of tests all personnel not assigned to commissioning operations should evacuate the cylinder
storage area and the area or areas protected by cylinder bank.
Protection masks and gloves should be worn for handling components subjected to pressure.
6.1 COMPONENT REVISION.

After the installation of a FM200 system proceed with a hand-over inspection of the system. This consists of a
component revision where the condition, proper connection and installation of components in accordance with project
are inspected.
All component checks to be carried out are included on the checklist in Annex III: Regulation extract and checking list for
reception and routine inspection for fire extinguishing installations.
6.2 COMMISSIONING OPERATIONS AND OPERATIONAL TESTS.

For commissioning, it is recommended to carry out all the tests described hereinafter. Some of these tests are also
carried out for maintenance operations (section 7. Maintenance). The material supplied by LPG is subject to factory
quality control, so the following tests on the installed system constitute a complement to ensure proper operation of the
extinguishing system and to prevent possible damage resulting from installation mounting.
6.2.1 BLOW OUT WITH NITROGEN.

This test should be done for all systems configurations.
Blowing out a pipe system with nitrogen (or any other suitable gas) ensures that the inside of the pipe is cleaned and
clears pipe or nozzle obstructions. Nitrogen flow should be continuous. To perform the blow out, follow the steps below.
• Remove the cylinder valve head caps in LPG128, LPG145 or LPG190 valves. For LP-230 valves you should
dismantle the head cap of the pilot cylinder, disconnect the flexible release hose of the first auxiliary
cylinder pneumatic head and lock the pistons of the valves using the locking screw device.
• Remove the manifold pressure switch with locking device.
• Connect to the manifold free port a dry nitrogen cylinder, fitted with the output set at 15 bar pressure in
accordance with enclosed sketch.

• Remove all nozzles of the system to be blown out. To perform nozzle reinstallation it is very important to
have available isometric drawings or project document where the location of each nozzle is specified, as
the internal calibrated diameters differ for each.
• Plug all the free pipe ends, except one.
• Open the nitrogen cylinder valve. Open the ball drip valve located at nitrogen cylinder outlet and keep
blowing for approximately 5 seconds
NOTE: Pressure escape through the free end is dangerous. Check that there are no
personnel inside the room and evacuate or fix objects, which could be thrown by the effect of
the pressure. Clouds of dust may be produced during this test. Liquid and solid residues may
be thrown through the free outlet.
• Repeat the operation freeing a different pipe end each time and plugging the remainder until all the pipe
ends are completed.
• Remove all the plugs and replace the nozzles into their original position.
• Disconnect the nitrogen cylinder and reconnect the pressure switch with locking device.
• Replace the cylinder valve head caps in LPG128, LPG145 or LPG190 valves. For LP-230 valves you should
mount the head cap of the pilot cylinder, install the flexible release hose of the first auxiliary cylinder
pneumatic head and unlock the piston of the valves unscrewing the locking screw device.
6.2.2 GAS INTEGRITY PNEUMATIC TEST FOR OPEN PIPES.
¿ When do you perform this test?

Always, except when:
- Other pipe test have been performed which ensure its gas integrity.
- The distribution system is very simple, fitted with no more than one accessory which
changes flow direction between the manifold and the nozzle.
Limitations if the temperature to which the pipe is exposed undergoes variations of over 10 ºC
during the 10 minute test, the results of the test will not be reliable.
This test verifies the gas integrity for the pipe distribution system.
• Remove the cylinder valve head caps in LPG128, LPG145 or LPG190 valves. For LP-230 valves you should
dismantle the head cap of the pilot cylinder, disconnect the flexible release hose of the first auxiliary
cylinder pneumatic head and lock the pistons of the valves using the locking screw device.
• Remove the pressure switch with locking device.
• Remove the manifold pressure switch with locking device.
• On manifold, connect a nitrogen cylinder to the pressure switch port (nitrogen or any other suitable gas)
with the output set at 3 – 5 bars. Insert a “T” fitted with a ½” or ¼” PN-16 (relief) sphere valve.

• Remove all nozzles making up the system to be blown out. To carry out nozzle reinstallation it is very
important to have available isometric drawings or project document where the location of each nozzle is
specified, as the internal calibrated diameters differ for each.
• Plug all the free pipe ends except one.
• Connect to the free end a 0-10 bar pressure gauge or a pressure recording device. Pressure recording
may be continuous or carried out only at the beginning and end of test.
• Pressurise the pipe slowly at 3 - 5 bar. Wait for 10 minutes and register the initial pressure value. Shut off
the pressure supply, keeping the pressurisation for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, register the pressure
again.
¿ Has the test been successful?

The pressure registered at the end of the test should be at least 80% of the pressure
registered at the beginning of the test. Otherwise, look for system leakage: with
pressurised pipe, check with soapy water the pipe and accessory joints. If any leakage is
found, depressurise and redo the threaded joints. Repeat the test.
• Depressurise system by means of the relief valve inserted into the nitrogen connection.
• Disconnect the nitrogen supply and reconnect the pressure switch with locking device.
• Disconnect the pressure meter and unplug the free pipe ends. Locate the nozzles into their initial position.
• Replace the cylinder valve head caps in LPG128, LPG145 or LPG190 valves. For LP-230 valves you should
mount the head cap of the pilot cylinder, install the flexible release hose of the first auxiliary cylinder
pneumatic head and unlock the piston of the valves unscrewing the locking screw device.

6.2.3 OPERATING TEST FOR THE PRESSURE SWITCH WITH LOCKING DEVICE.
This test should be carried out when the pressure switch is already connected (to the manifold and to the alarm control
panel) and it is not going to be disconnected again. Carry out this test again in case of pressure switch disconnection for
maintenance operations or for any other reason.
• Remove the box cap of the electrical system.
• Remove the box electric body without disconnecting the wiring. With the help of a ballpoint pen or a rod,
push the lower piston until the upper terminals in the box are short circuited by the contact rod. Check that
the control panel receives a corresponding alarm signal.
• Re-insert the pressure switch body into its box, replace the box cap and re-arm the pressure switch
Re-arming of the LPG pressure switch with locking device.

To re-arm this device it is only necessary to pull the sphere incorporated in
the latching system.

6.2.4 RELEASE CIRCUIT PNEUMATIC INTEGRITY TEST.

This test should be done only for battery systems using LPG145 or LPG190 valves.
• Remove the head caps from the auxiliary cylinders of the cylinder bank.
• Disconnect the flexible hose (or copper pipe), which supplies the release cone of first cylinder.
• Disconnect the release cones corresponding to the auxiliary cylinder valves. Holding the cone in the hand,
remove the piston-needle assembly by pushing down with a screwdriver onto the narrowest part of the
cone.
• Turn over the piston-needle assembly and reinsert it in the cone until it butts, with the needle pointing
towards the narrowest part of the cone. Reinstall the cones on the valves with piston turned over.
• Apply a 50 bar pressure source to the free end of the flexible hose line (in the figure). A nitrogen cylinder
with a regulator is recommended, inserting a "T” fitted with a (½” or ¼” PN-60) relief valve.
• Pressurise the line. Check the tightness of the flexible hose with soapy water. Check that there is no gas
leakage through the head orifice of the valve (without a head cap).
• Depressurise and replace each cone piston-needle assembly to its initial position.

NOTE: Prior to mounting the cone onto the valve it is most important to check that the piston is
completely retracted inside the cone, by pushing down with a screwdriver. The hammer pin
should not extend beyond the nut.
• Reconnect the first bank cylinder to the line coming from the pilot cylinder.
• Replace the auxiliary cylinder valve caps.
6.2.5 OPERATING TEST FOR MASTER CYLINDER RELEASE SOLENOID VALVES.

This test should be done for all systems configurations
• Study at length the drawings or installation of the electric circuit supplying the pilot cylinder solenoid valves.
Checking of self-contained cylinders or Master cylinders fitted with LPG128, LPG145 or LPG190 valves.
• Remove the valve head cap of the master cylinder.
• Remove the nut located on the solenoid valve coil and remove the latter from its housing on its centre
stem. Remove all the solenoid valve coils belonging to the same release system. It is very important to
ensure that they are all out of their housing to prevent accidental discharge during the test.

• Operate an electric release from main panel to energise the coil.

• Once coil is energised, insert a suitable easily magnetised object (such as a light screwdriver) through its
centre hole. Proper operation is confirmed if a magnetic field is produced which retains the metallic object
inserted into the coil hole.
• Repeat the operation with each of the solenoid valves in the same release system.
• To prevent accidents, prior to replacing each coil into its stem, (it is vital not to mix up each coil position)
using the same metallic object check for traces of magnetisation through the coil hole which may activate
the valve.
IMPORTANT: It is advisable that the length of the cable for solenoid valves should be such
that it will not be possible to mix up their position (the long cable for the solenoid valve which
is farthest away and the shorter cable for the one that is nearest).
• Slowly place the coil onto the centre stem. If there is any magnetism left, controlled leakage will take place
through the top of Master cylinder main valve. If so, remove the coil quickly to interrupt the leakage. Such
leakage shows that solenoid valve is still being supplied. Shut off that supply.

Check with soapy

water for possible
leakage
• If for whatever reason controlled leakage is produced through the top of the cylinder main valve and it would be
difficult to eliminate, to prevent the slow discharge of the cylinder, proceed to carry out 2 or 3 rapid clamping
with the energised coil (pulses not to exceed 1 second) on its stem to stop the leakage. If the leakage is
uncontrolled, contact the Technical Service of LPG Técnicas en Extinción de Incendios, S.A.
• Once the coil is replaced onto its stem, replace the hexagonal nut, install the valve head cap.
Checking of self-contained cylinders fitted with LP-230 valves.

• Lock the piston of the LP valve screwing the locking screw device, dismount the pressure gauge in order to
cut the flow pressure to the solenoid valve and the pneumatic head of the cylinder.

• Remove the nut located on the solenoid valve coil and remove the latter from its housing on its centre
stem.
• Operate an electric release from main panel to energise the coil.

• Once coil is energised, insert a suitable easily magnetised object (such as a light screwdriver) through its
centre hole. Proper operation is confirmed if a magnetic field is produced which retains the metallic object
inserted into the coil hole.

• To prevent accidents, prior to mounting again each coil into its stem using the same metallic object check
for traces of magnetisation through the coil hole which may activate the valve.
IMPORTANT: It is advisable that the length of the cable for solenoid valves should be such
that it will not be possible to mix up their position (the long cable for the solenoid valve
which is farthest away and the shorter cable for the one that is nearest).
• Slowly place the coil onto the centre stem.
• Once the coil is replaced onto its stem, replace the hexagonal nut, install the pneumatic head of the master
cylinder, install the pressure gauge and unlock the piston of the valves.

NOTE: For whatever reason it is decided to SEPARATE THE MAIN VALVE BODY FROM A
SOLENOID VALVE STEM it is imperative to disconnect the master cylinder main valve gauge
first. This operation shuts off the pressure supply to the solenoid valve. CAUTION: THE
CYLINDER IS FILLED AT HIGH PRESSURE. See 5.2.1, 5.2.2, 5.3.4 y 5.3.5 for further
information.
In case of malfunction, LPG recommends not to dismantle the stem but to submit the
master cylinder + solenoid + valve assembly to the LPG technical service department for
verification.

7 MAINTENANCE.
FM200 fire extinguishing systems should be subject to a preventive maintenance program ensuring the proper
operation in case of fire. This program and the maintenance operations should comply with regulations applicable in the
country or region where the system is installed. In this section applicable Spanish Law is taken as a basis for the
installation maintenance. As a manufacturer, LPG advises all system owners and end users to demand, as a minimum,
execution of the maintenance operations described in this manual.
The safety manager as well as personnel in charge of maintenance operations should be properly trained in system
operation, the required safety conditions for maintenance and the effects of FM200 on personnel and property. They
should also know and have access to system connection drawings, design project, maintenance and inspection files,
including the hand-over inspection.
During maintenance operations, which require execution of any of the tests described in section 6, wear a protection
mask and gloves.
In the event that an FM200 system is designed to consist of a release abort system (LPG Maintenance Box) prior to
each maintenance operation set such a system in the "MAINTENANCE" position. In high pressure systems, this valve
position directs the pilot cylinder discharge towards an escape external to the system, thus preventing the actuation of
the cylinder bank. The outlet for escape track should be installed in a safe zone outside the storage area. When the
maintenance operations are finished, do not forget to reset the release abort valve to its in service position.
REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE FM200 INSTALLATIONS.
Given that FM200 systems are fire fighting elements, at a domestic level (Spain), they are covered in the Regulatory
application frame for Installations and Fire Fighting Apparatus (RD. 1942/1993). Annex III consists of extracts from
the most important Regulation points on system maintenance. In brief, this rule specifies the following:
1)
st
The last person responsible for the maintenance of the installation is the final user or owner of such.
2 ) In all cases, the maintainer as well as the user or owner, should keep written proof of compliance of the
nd
preventive maintenance program, indicating, as a minimum, the operations carried out, the results of verifications and
tests and replacement of defective parts carried out. Annotations should be up to date and should be at the disposal of
the appropriate official inspection services.
3 ) Quarterly maintenance operations established under the Regulations may be carried out directly by the
rd
installation user or owner without requiring the assistance of any external official service provider.
LPG has carried out a maintenance program in compliance with all the Regulatory specifications for Fire Fighting
Installations and Apparatus, including other maintenance operations recommended by LPG as a manufacturer. This
program specifies the following terms and operations:
Quarterly:
a) Check the general condition of installation using the list in Annex III, Checklist for maintenance inspection of gas
systems.
b) Check that the installation identification notices, the user and warning signs as well as the cylinder adhesive
labels are in their appropriate location.
c) The safety apparel for system handling and maintenance are in perfect condition.
Annually:
a) Nozzles: in dusty atmospheres check that the discharge orifices are not obstructed.
b) Releases: carry out an operating test for the solenoid valves. The test is described in section 6.2.5. in this
manual.
c) Alarms: check the audible and visual function of the alarm devices, giving the instructions from control panel.
Check the pressure switch with locking device for operation according to the test described in 6.2.3.
Every two years:
a) In unusually dirty and dusty environments the pipe distribution system should be blown out with dry nitrogen, in
accordance with section 6.2.1.
Every ten years:

b) Carry out re-stamping of the bank cylinders (auxiliary cylinders and pilot cylinders), in accordance with the
Regulations established by the ADR (Acuerdo europeo sobre el transporte internacional de mercancías
peligrosas por carretera).

c) Carry out a hydraulic test for integrity of the flexible hose and the manifold. This test consists of subjecting the
components to a hydraulic test, pressurising up to 1.5 times the component working pressure.
Any repair or maintenance operation performed in addition to those mentioned above should be done with the approval
of routine inspection in Annex III.

1. Automatic Operation: an electrical signal causes the release of master cylinder (2) to initiate the discharge
procedure.
2. Manual operation: the discharge is activated by operating the manual release lever located on the pilot
cylinder or the master cylinder (2).
The automatic release signal comes from the detectors (8/9). The detectors operate by sending a signal to the control
panel (4) when a fire is detected inside the room.
The control station then initiates a fire extinguishing method, which may be different for each installation, but it always
includes, as a minimum, actuation of the alarm signals (sirens, visual devices, etc.) during a delay time, which generally
lasts 30 seconds. This delay time is the time personnel inside the room have to vacate immediately and in order to
leave the room where the visual/audible alarm signals operate.
At the same time, the control panel sends an instruction to open the pilot or master cylinder valve (2). At this moment it
is IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP THE DISCHARGE OF THE EXTINGUISHING AGENT, which will be produced imminently.
In accordance with the ISO 14520 Standard (Standard on fire extinguishing system design for gaseous extinguishing
agents), it is possible to carry out the protection of normally occupied zones as long as the system is provided with
safety devices listed in the following table. Alternatively ISO14520 uses the same approach as defined in 8.3.
Auto/manual
Maximum Concentrations Time delay device Lock off device
Switch
X Not necessary Not necessary
≤ NOAEL
> NOAEL < LOAEL X X Not necessary
X X X
≥ LOAEL
The objective of these measurements is to prevent personnel from unnecessary exposure to the FM200 extinguishing
agent. Factors like evacuation time and hazard which to personnel is the fire it, need to be taken into account to
determine discharge time. When national regulations require other measurements, the latter should be applied.
Where the delay means incorporating an automatic system designed to delay the extinguishing agent by the alarm
signal emitted by the fire detection system discharge to ensure evacuation for personnel easier.
The auto/manual switch is a system, which gives the possibility of leaving the extinguishing system manually activated
when the area is occupied and automatically operated when the area is unoccupied. Usually this device is an electronic
device.
The locking device allows for deviation of the pilot cylinder filled charge externally, thus preventing the discharge of the
cylinder bank inside the protected area, especially during maintenance operations. LPG has available a device of this
type called the Maintenance Cabinet.
A UL listed control panel that is compatible with the electrical components of the system must be used.
The NOAEL and LOAEL values for FM200 in accordance with ISO 14520-9 are shown in the following table.
Properties % Concentration value
Level at which no adverse effects are observed (NOAEL) 9.0
Min. level at which adverse effects are observed (LOAEL) > 10.5

8.3 SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS (Compliance with NFPA 2001).

Although FM200 is non-toxic to humans in concentrations necessary to protect most hazards, certain safety
considerations should be observed. Unnecessary exposures to FM200, including at and below the NOAEL (No Observed
Adverse Effect Level 9.0 %), and its decomposition by-products should be avoided. Means shall be provided to limit
exposure to no longer than 5 minutes. One objective of pre-alarm and time delays is to prevent human exposure to the
agent. Unprotected personnel shall not enter protected spaces during or after the discharge.
FM200 systems for spaces that are normally occupied and designed to concentrations above the NOAEL are
permitted, given that means be provided to limit exposure to the design concentrations shown to the following table that
correspond to a maximum safe human exposure of 5 minutes. Higher design concentrations shall be permitted to be
used provided that exposure shall be limited to the corresponding maximum safe exposure time shown in the following
table, and an exposure and egress analysis shall be performed and approved.
Concentration by volume Safe Human Exposure Times

(% v/v) (min.)
6.0 5.00
6.5 5.00
7.0 5.00
7.5 5.00
8.0 5.00
8.5 5.00
9.0 5.00
9.5 5.00
10.0 5.00
10.5 5.00
11.0 1.13
11.5 0.60
12.0 0.497
FM200 Safe Exposure at Stated Concentrations is derived from the US EPA-approved and peer-reviewed physiologically
based pharmacokinetic model. The Data are based on 9.0 % NOAEL (No Observable Adverse Effect Level).
With this information in mind, it should be noted that a design concentration of ≤ 10.5 % will be sufficient to protect
most common applications. Undecomposed FM200 poses no threat to human life when used in concentrations
required to protect most common risks provided that maximum exposure time limits are not exceeded.
¡ Important! Only design concentrations that allow safe exposures of 5 minutes are recommended for
use in normally occupied areas.

8.4 GENERAL SAFETY CONSIDERATION.

It is advisable to introduce simulated evacuation of personnel occupying the area protected by FM200 during the 30
seconds discharge delay.
The pipe where gas from all cylinders is collected is called the discharge manifold (13). A pressure switch is located on
the manifold (12), which sends a signal to the control panel to indicate that the agent discharge has begun.
Gas flows through the pipe system to the nozzles (11) and is expelled at high velocity towards the fire.
System manual actuation is also possible by means of the Alarm Push Button (3). This device should only be used
WHEN THE ROOM HAS BEEN VACATED. Use of this device involves the same operation described above for actuation
of the automatic fire detection systems. If the delay time is over and the discharge has not been produced, actuate the
cylinder bank manually. (See 8.6. Actuation in the event of failure of fire extinguishing system automatic actuation).
Gas is discharged from the nozzles at high velocity, so suitable means of room evacuation should be provided, as far as
possible from the direct reach of the nozzle. The strength of extinguishing agent discharged is not enough to raise heavy
objects (computers, tables, cupboards, machines), nor raise personnel but it can raise papers, light books and movable
objects located near the discharge nozzle.
Appropriate warning signs should be affixed not only in the enclosure protected by the installation but also at the
cylinder storage areas. Appropriate warning signs should provide instructions in case of the fire alarm. The storage
area should be provided with instructions for manual system actuation including requirements to previously check that
the area to be protected has been VACATED. (See 8.6. Actuation in the event of failure of fire extinguishing system
automatic actuation).
Appropriate warning notices should be affixed inside protected room informing its occupants about the type of
protection and modes of actuation in case of fire. All these signs should be clearly legible and resistant to environmental
conditions. It is advisable to provide adhesive labels in red or green background and white letters. Notices should
incorporate at least the following messages:
Typical sign inside the protected enclosure:
Typical sign outside the protected enclosure:

Typical sign affixed near the protected areas.
Typical signs placed at every manual actuation device.
For better extinguishing action, all inlets of air which might re-ignite the fire should be prevented. Once discharge is
complete, wait a minimum of 30 minutes prior to activating room ventilation, so as to prevent fire re-ignition. It is
advisable to call the fire brigade at the time of activation of room ventilation.

8.5 MANUAL USE OF DEVICES.

Manual operations after an actuation
The following operations should always been performed manually after a discharge (see 8.7. Actuation after a cylinder
bank discharge).
- Re-assembly of the pressure switch with locking device.
- Decompression of the release line.
Manual operations in case of failure of the automatic system:
In the event of failure of the automatic discharge system or malfunction of any of its components, LPG has made
provision by designing components and systems in such a way as to allow for manual actuation (See 8.6. Actuation in
the event of failure of fire extinguishing system automatic actuation). The following operations are included:
- Actuation of the manual lever release
8.5.1 RE-ASSEMBLY OF PRESSURE SWITCH WITH LOCKING DEVICE.
Unlatch the pressure switch by pulling the lever (1).
The pressure switch is located in the storage area, mounted on the discharge manifold pipe.
8.5.2 ACTUATION OF MANUAL LEVER RELEASE AND MANUAL PNEUMATIC RELEASE.
The manual lever release is located on the installation master cylinder or pilot cylinder valve, as well as on the modular
cylinders.
To operate, pull hard to remove the safety pin (3). Operate the lever (1) by pulling hard backwards and downwards.
Carry out the same operations to use the manual pneumatic release described in section 5.3.3.

8.5.3 RELEASE LINE DECOMPRESSION.

When a discharge takes place, the release line remains pressurised all along its length, from the pilot or master
cylinder to the last release cone or pneumatic head. FM200 systems incorporate a decompression screw (generally
located at the pilot cylinder outlet or at the last release cone or head), which allows controlled release of nitrogen or
agent extinguishing. Operate the decompression screw in accordance with the following procedure.
1. Remove head cap (7)

2. Using a flat screwdriver pull out the internal cap (5)
3. Replace the head cap (5) in the reverse position (hexagonal nut on the outside). Tighten using a 6 mm Allen key.
At that moment the escape of internal pressure will be heard.
4. Once all internal pressure has been vented replace the cap (5) as it was at the beginning (grooved surface
facing the exterior).
5. Replace the head cap onto its position (7). Verify that the o-ring (6) is in its position.
8.6 ACTUATION IN THE EVENT OF FAILURE OF FIRE EXTINGUISHING SYSTEM AUTOMATIC

ACTIVATION.
When extinguishing discharge is not released within delay time specified by the Main Panel (see Main Panel technical
instructions) from fire alarm or if you can see a fire or the alarm system has failed to operate, wait until area is vacated
to manually actuate extinguishing. The following operations should be carried out quickly and in order:
1. The person in charge of manual operation should wear a helmet and safety glasses, which he will find in the
storage area, next to the cylinder bank and close to the warning signs containing the operational instructions
for manual discharge.
2. Visually check the condition of the cylinder bank (flexible hoses, gauges on cylinders show correct pressure in
accordance with labels, no leakage).
3. Operate the pilot cylinder release (see 8.5.2. Actuation of manual lever release and manual pneumatic
release). This operation opens the pilot cylinder or the master cylinder valve and auxiliary cylinder valves.

8.7 ACTUATION AFTER CYLINDER BANK DISCHARGE.

At the hazard:
1. Prior to opening the door or to operating hazard ventilation where discharge has taken place, wait for the
arrival of the fire brigade.
2. Once the hazard is controlled clean the area.
3. Check visually condition of the FM200 installation within the hazard (general pipe condition, nozzle condition). It
is recommended to follow the appropriate sections on "Check list for maintenance of gas systems" included in
Annex III.
Cylinder bank location:
4. Verify that all FM200 installation cylinders have been discharged (check that all pressure gauges indicate 0
bar). Otherwise, remove manually the cylinder head caps in LPG128, LPG145 or LPG190 valves or lock the
LP- 230 valve piston in LP-230 valves. Notify the LPG technical department. If it is not possible to remove
head caps manually do not force them. Call LPG technical personnel.
NOTE: In case that it was not possible to remove the cylinder head cap manually, DO
NOT FORCE THEM and notify to LPG Technical Department.
5. Unlatch the pressure switch (see 8.5.1. Reassembly of pressure switch with locking device).
6. Cut the electricity supply to the pilot or mater cylinder solenoid valve.
7. Decompress the release line by means of the decompression screw. (see 8.5.3. Release line decompression).
8. Visually check the condition of the FM200 installation within the hazard (component general condition). It is
recommended to follow the corresponding sections on "Check list for maintenance of gas systems” included in
Annex III.
9. Disassemble cylinders from their brackets and send them to LPG to be recharged as well as all damaged
components for repair or replacement.
10. After replacing cylinders and their components, check all equipment release systems and reassemble (e.g.
replace manual release seals, replace release burst disks, etc.).
11. Installation hand-over and commissioning of fire extinguishing system should be carried out again.
