NOTICE: It is the responsibility of your company to verify that this information has been received by the
employees who currently hold valid certification credentials for design and/or service of the system(s)
referenced within this bulletin.
We are pleased to announce that the Acoustic Nozzle (Part No. 445710) is now UL listed for use with the INERGEN
150/200-Bar and INERGEN 300-Bar iFLOW systems. The installation also requires the use of the Orifice Pipe (Part
No. 445715).
This bulletin serves as a supplement to the ANSUL INERGEN 300-Bar System, Design, Installation, and
Maintenance Manual (Part No. 441435-02) dated October 5, 2015; ANSUL INERGEN 150-Bar System Design,
Installation, Recharge and Maintenance Manual (Part No. 416655-15) dated November 15, 2017; and ANSUL
INERGEN 200-Bar System Design, Installation, Recharge and Maintenance Manual (Part No. 430149-06) dated
November 24, 2017. The information contained in this bulletin will be updated into the manuals during the next
revision.
We are now the first to have an acoustic nozzle Verified by UL for acoustic performance and fully listed for use with
a fire suppression system. This continues to show our leadership in developing acoustic solutions for the data center
and sensitive equipment markets. The UL Verified Mark and Listing provides confidence in our product marketing
claims and allows us to differentiate true performance as compared to non-verified performance claims.
The UL Verified product page is also hosted on UL’s website and can be found at the following web address:
http://verify.ul.com/mark?id=A759089
Below are the details of the design process and installation.
ACOUSTIC NOZZLE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

The acoustic nozzle is designed to be used with INERGEN fire suppression systems with 1/4 in. to 1 1/2 in. diameter
piping and is available in a 360 degree discharge pattern only.
The acoustic nozzle is intended to be used in applications requiring a system discharge generating a lower sound
output than a standard suppression nozzle, a primary example being data centers. The acoustic performance of
the nozzle is flow rate dependent, meaning that the sound level changes are based on the flow rate through nozzle.

The Acoustic Nozzle (Part No. 445710) must be ordered with either an NPT (Part No. 445715) or BSPT
(Part No. 27511) orifice pipe assembly with the orifice drill diameter derived from system flow calculations.
SUPPRESSION SYSTEM HYDRAULIC CALCULATION NOTE

The acoustic nozzle is designed to be a drop-in replacement for standard suppression nozzles. The drop-in
replacement also applies in the system hydraulic design calculations. The acceptable range of nozzle orifice plate
drill codes for the Acoustic Nozzle ranges from the smallest orifice allowed in the 1/4 in. nozzle to the largest of
the 1 1/2 in. nozzle. The system designer must ensure the acoustic performance of the nozzle as defined in the
ANSUL Acoustic Nozzle Data Sheet (Form No. F-2016267-01) meets the field requirements for the application. The
following installation section notes how the Acoustic Nozzle is to be adapted to various size pipe networks.
INSTALLATION
The acoustic nozzle is provided with an attached 1 1/2 in. NPT (DN40) pipe coupling. (See Figure 1.) This coupling
shall be connected to the outlet side of the orifice pipe assembly.
The inlet side of the orifice pipe assembly is connected to the
pipe network.
REDUCER
When the section of the pipe network to be connected to the ORIFICE PIPE
nozzle has a diameter less than 1 1/2 in., a reducer should be 2 IN. (DN50) ASSEMBLY
PIPEWORK

assembly (on the orifice plate/inlet side). Similarly, a reducer
needs to be used if the pipe size is larger than 1 1/2 in. Figure ACOUSTIC NOZZLE
1 illustrates an example of a pipe network with a larger pipe

size and reducer. The acoustic nozzle is connected to the pipe

The nozzle shall be located so the nozzle side of the coupling is within 12 in. (305 mm) of the ceiling or, if installed in
a sub floor, within 12 in. (305 mm) of the underside of the floor tile and shall be located centrally in the hazard area
(or theoretical volume) it is protecting. Figure 2 and Figure 3 show the nozzle dimensions and the nozzle assembly.

SUBJECT: Placement Indicator Switch - Halocarbon and INERGEN® Systems
NOTICE: It is the responsibility of your company to verify that this information has been received by the
employees who currently hold valid certification credentials for design and/or service of the system(s)
referenced within this bulletin.
We are pleased to introduce the Placement Indicator Switches (Part No. Placement Indicator Switch
441870 and 441871) for our clean agent product lines. Product will become
available for shipment starting December 1, 2015.
The placement indicator switch is a monitoring device designed to help ensure

proper placement of the system electric actuator on the master container and
selector valve. The design of the placement indicator switch allows the device
to mount directly to the electric actuator.
Activating the placement indicator switch allows a small amount of electric

current to pass through the end-of-line resistor. This functionality enables
the fire control panel to indicate the actuator is in proper position for system
operation.
If an issue occurs, and the electric actuator is not in the proper

position, the placement indicator switch is CLOSED. This means
009586
the switch contacts are closed, and the current will now pass
through the closed contacts. Once the current passes through the closed contacts, current will not pass
through the EOL resistor, and the fire control panel will indicate the actuator is not in the proper position.
This indication will result in an audible and visual warning at the associated system fire suppression control panel.

type of detector used is appropriate for the type of hazard so
proper response is attained in a fire situation. When a detector
senses a fire, a signal is sent to the control panel. The panel in
turn sends an electrical signal to the solenoid actuator located
on the pilot container valve. The actuator opens the container
valve releasing the INERGEN agent into the manifold. The
pressure in the manifold then causes the slave valves to open
and discharge INERGEN agent into the piping network and out
the nozzles.

The AUTOMAN II-C electric releasing device uses approved

UL EX-4510
2001-DEC-01 REV. 0 PAGE 9-1
INSPECTION
Inspection is a “quick check” that a system is operable. It is
intended to give reasonable assurance that the system is fully
charged and will operate. This is done by seeing that the system
has not been tampered with and there is no obvious physical
damage, or condition, to prevent operation. The value of an
inspection lies in the frequency, and thoroughness, with which it
is conducted. Systems should be inspected at regular monthly
intervals, or at more frequent intervals when circumstances
require.
The following visual checks should be performed during an
INERGEN system inspection:
–
Visually inspect the hazard area to verify that it has not
changed. Look for different fuels, new equipment, blocked
open doors or dampers.
–
Check detectors to make certain they are in place, not
damaged or coated with dirt, grease, paint, or any contami-
nating substance.
– Check all manual pull stations to assure they have not been
tampered with and are not blocked from use.
– Check all alarm devices for damage, dirt, corrosion, etc.
– Check that the piping is secure and nozzles are in place.
Make certain the nozzles are not covered with dirt, grease,
or paint and that there is nothing structural blocking the
discharge.
– Visually inspect all components for signs of damage, such
as disconnected or loose parts, corrosion, twisted or dented
components, etc.
– Check each INERGEN container indicator (gauge) to deter-
mine that the container pressure is in the operable range.
– Verify that all pressure switches are in place and are in the
correct, non-operated, position.
– Visually verify that control panel and/or releasing device is
functioning properly.
– Perform any other checks that may be required by the author-
ity having jurisdiction.
– Verify that the pressure reducer/union contains an orifice plate
by visually noting the presence of the orifice indicator tab on
the side of the union.
– If applicable, push green poppet valve near solenoid on selec-
tor valve to relieve any pressure.
– Visually check solenoid or electric actuator wiring on selector
valve to make certain it has not been disconnected.
–
Make certain lever actuator on selector valve is in “SET”
position.
– Record that the system has been inspected and inform the
proper personnel.

Electric Detection/AUTOPULSE Control System
! CAUTION
Remove the electric valve actuator from the container valve prior
to testing the AUTOPULSE Control System. Failure to do so will
cause accidental system discharge.
On selector valve systems, it is not necessary to remove the

actuator on the selector valve during this test.
Perform system annual maintenance by following the instruc-
tions listed in the appropriate AUTOPULSE Control System
Installation, Operation, and Maintenance Manual.
To test the operation of the valve actuator, apply power to the
circuit the actuator is installed on. When power is applied, a
“click” will be heard and visual inspection should be performed
to confirm the HF actuator has fired. This will confirm the actu-
ator is functioning.
Also, check the actuator on the selector valve. The “click” should
also be heard and visual inspection should be performed to
confirm the HF actuator has fired, confirming the actuator is
operating.
When all tests have been completed, make certain all control
panels are returned to the normal condition and actuator(s)
have been reset. Make certain all actuators are correctly rein-
stalled back on their respective valves.

for Clean Agent Fire Extinguishing Systems,” which states,
“the design concentration must be achieved within 1 minute. It
is important that an effective agent concentration not only be
achieved, but shall be maintained for a sufficient period of time
to allow effective emergency action by trained personnel.”
The INERGEN system consists of a container bank, a piping
arrangement and discharge nozzles located in the room and
subfloor space.
Occasionally, drainage is installed in the subfloor area.
Provisions must be made for making the drain piping a closed
system unless water is present to assist in assuring the neces-
sary concentration.
When the computer room is normally occupied, personnel safety
is of first concern. Alarms or warning devices must be located in
the room to provide sufficient annunciation of INERGEN agent
discharge. The room and subfloor must be tight to prevent loss
of INERGEN agent.
All air handling equipment must be shut down and dampered
prior to system discharge.
Smoke detectors, operated by an electronic control panel, are
usually employed with an INERGEN system to provide detec-
tion and thus suppression of a fire before it has a chance to do
serious damage.
Thermal detectors are used as a backup automatic system.
The authority having jurisdiction may have additional require-
ments.
