General
1. Applicable Standards
The T
OTALPAC2 complies with the following standards:
- NFPA-13 Sprinkler Systems;
- NFPA-15 Water Spray Fixed Systems;
- NFPA-16 Foam-Water Deluge and Foam-Water Spray
Systems;
- NFPA-72 Fire Alarm Systems.
Before the installation, the contractor installing the unit shall
be familiar with the following documents and standards:
- Applicable Local & State Building Codes
- Any additional requirements of the Local Authority
Having Jurisdiction.
2. Listings and Approvals
In addition to being fabricated under tight ISO-9001
manufacturing and quality control procedures, your
T
OTALPAC2 Unit has also been tested and approved by
recognized laboratories:
Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL):
- Special System Water Control Valves - Assembled
Units, category # VKYL.EX4641".
Note: Although most TOTALPAC2 units are Listed, custom
built units are sometimes supplied on request.
Components in these special units maintain their
individual Listings/Approvals but the units are not Listed
as an assembled unit.
CAUTION ! Any unauthorized modification or addition
made on-site to a factory built Listed Unit will void this
Listing. Such modifications or additions may void the
unit's warranty as well. Consult your nearest FireFlex
Systems Authorized Distributor before proceeding with
such modifications or additions.
3. Environment
T
OTALPAC2 units shall be installed in a dry and clean
location. Verify that all equipment is properly heated and
protected to prevent freezing and physical damage.
The unit and it's components must be kept free of foreign
matter, freezing conditions, corrosive atmospheres,
contaminated water supplies, and any condition that
could impair its operation or damage the components.
The frequency of the inspections and maintenance will
vary depending on these environmental conditions. The
owner is responsible for maintaining the fire protection
system and devices in proper operating condition.
Refer to CONFIGURATION DESCRIPTION for
maintenance instructions.
4. General Description
The cycling deluge system uses open type sprinklers and
/ or spray nozzles in the sprinkler piping which totally
flood an area with pressurized water. A detection
network is used in parallel with the open type sprinkler /
nozzles system. This network is electric and may be
actuated by manual and rate-compensated temperature.
When the detection system operates it gives an alarm
and activate the Flow Control valve. Because deluge
systems are often used in extra-hazard occupancies,
electrical detection systems are by far the most common.
The T
OTALPAC2 integrated fire protection system by
FireFlex Systems Inc. consists of a cycling deluge system
trim totally pre-assembled, pre-wired and factory tested.
All electrical and mechanical components of the system
are contained in one single unit.
The only connections required for installation are the
water supply inlet, water discharge outlet, main drain, and
the electrical detection and alarm connections. The
discharge outlet is connected to a fixed piping system of
open sprinklers and or nozzles. Water is the
extinguishing agent.
Cycling Deluge systems are usually supervised. The
T
OTALPAC2 system is supervised in order to monitor its
integrity. The electrical detectors and associated wiring
are also supervised.
The most common applications are protection of extra-
hazard occupancies by creating a fire buffer zone or by
cooling surfaces to prevent deformation or structural
collapse. Examples: storage or process areas containing
substances having a low flash point; areas in which fire
may spread rapidly; tanks containing combustible
solutions, transformers, equipment pits or product
handling systems.
Systems should be designed by qualified fire-protection
engineers in conjunction with the appropriate Authority
Having Jurisdiction.
Note: Each T
OTALPAC2 Unit is identified with it's unique
Serial Number. This number is located on a sticker
inside the main door panel and is used to maintain a
record in our computerized data base. Have this Serial
Number handy when calling for information on your unit
(format is TOT#####).
