5.3.2 Operation
The fire suppression system is equipped with an
automatic activation.
The automatic activation detects a fire via a heat
sensitive wire (4). It activates at a temperature of
approx. 180°C. As soon as a fire is detected, the
control module (1) shuts down the compressor. After
a delay of 30 seconds the automatic actuator (6)
releases a small nitrogen cylinder (3). The
compressed gas will blow the extinguishing fluid
from the cylinder (2) through the nozzles (5) into the
engine compartment.
The automatic fire suppression system is directly
powered by the compressor batteries.
5.3.3 Daily check
The LED’s status on the control box should be
checked daily prior to starting up the compressor. The
green Power LED (1) should flash every three
seconds! It is not allowed to start up the compressor
when there are any deviations.
Staff that are not familiar with this
system are not allowed to run checks
on the system. Wrong handling may
lead to an inactive system or release
of extinguishing fluid.
All maintenance, recharging and
repair work must be carried out by
authorized personnel only.
