SYSTEM DESIGN REFERENCES
THE SYSTEM IS DESIGNED TO BE INSTALLED, INSPECTED AND MAINTAINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH JANUS INSTALLATION,
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL (DOC324, DOC348) AND NFPA 17, STANDARD FOR DRY CHEMICAL EXTINGUISHING
SYSTEMS. THIS SYSTEM IS MADE UP OF UNITS TESTED WITHIN LIMITATIONS CONTAINED IN THE DETAILED INSTALLATION
MANUAL. THE SYSTEM DESIGNER MUST BE CONSULTED WHENEVER CHANGES ARE PLANNED FOR THE SYSTEM OR AREA OF
PROTECTION. AN AUTHORIZED INSTALLER OR SYSTEM DESIGNER MUST BE CONSULTED AFTER THE SYSTEM HAS DISCHARGED
INSPECTION INSTRUCTIONS
INSPECT MONTHLY OR AT MORE FREQUENT INTERVALS WHEN CIRCUMSTANCES REQUIRE. VERIFY THAT ALL PARTS ARE FREE
FROM DAMAGE OR CORROSION. CYLINDER PRESSURE MUST BE IN OPERABLE RANGE. DISCHARGE HOSE AND NOZZLES SHALL
BE FREE FROM OBSTRUCTIONS. ALL NOZZLES, DETECTORS, CYLINDERS AND OTHER HARDWARE MUST BE SECURE. NOZZLE
DUST CAPS SHALL BE IN PLACE. RECORD DATE OF INSPECTION ON INSPECTION TAG. CYLINDER WEIGHT AND PRESSURE SHALL
BE CHECKED AT LEAST SEMIANNUALLY.
RECHARGE
A DISCHARGE MAY CAUSE AGENT CYLINDER DISCHARGE VALVE TO LEAK IF NOT CLEANED AND MAINTAINED PRIOR TO FILLING.
COMPLETE RECHARGE REQUIREMENTS ARE FOUND IN INSTALLATION, OPERATION
AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL(DOC324, DOC348).
CAUTION:
CAUTION:
THIS CYLINDER MUST BE TRANSPORTED, STORED, AND MOUNTED VERTICALLY.
IMPROPER INSTALLATION WILL RESULT IN SYSTEM MALFUNCTION.
BEFORE HANDLING JANUS FIRE SYSTEMS® PRODUCTS, ALL PERSONNEL MUST BE THOROUGHLY TRAINED IN THE SAFE HANDLING OF THE
CYLINDERS, AS WELL AS IN THE PROPER PROCEDURES FOR INSTALLATION, REMOVAL, AND CONNECTION OF OTHER CRITICAL DEVICES,
SUCH AS FLEXIBLE HOSE, VALVE ACTUATORS, AND ANTI-RECOIL DEVICES.
WARNING:
THE DISCHARGE OF DRY CHEMICAL SYSTEMS TO EXTINGUISH A FIRE CAN RESULT IN A POTENTIAL
HAZARD TO PERSONNEL FROM THE NATURAL FORM OF THE ABC POWDER OR FROM THE PRODUCTS OF COMBUSTION
THAT RESULT FROM EXPOSURE OF THE AGENT TO THE FIRE OR HOT SURFACES. UNNECESSARY EXPOSURE OF
PERSONNEL EITHER TO THE NATURAL AGENT OR TO THE PRODUCTS OF DECOMPOSITION SHALL BE AVOIDED.
MISE EN GARDE:
LA DÉCHARGE DES SYSTÈMES CHIMIQUES SECS POUR ÉTEINDRE UN INCENDIE PEUT ENTRAÎNER UN
RISQUE POTENTIEL POUR LE PERSONNEL EN RAISON DE LA FORME NATURELLE DE LA POUDRE ABC OU DES PRODUITS
DE COMBUSTION QUI RÉSULTENT DE L'EXPOSITION DE L'AGENT AU FEU OU AUX SURFACES CHAUDES. TOUTE
EXPOSITION INUTILE DU PERSONNEL À L'AGENT NATUREL OU AUX PRODUITS DE DÉCOMPOSITION DOIT ÊTRE ÉVITÉE
ANTI-RECOIL DEVICE SHALL BE INSTALLED ON VALVE OUTLET AT ALL TIMES EXCEPT WHEN AGENT
CYLINDER IS CONNECTED TO SYSTEM DISTRIBUTION NETWORK OR BEING PRESSURIZED. AGENT CYLINDER IS
HIGHLY PRESSURIZED. DO NOT INCINERATE.
RECYCLING PROTECTS THE ENVIRONMENT. DO NOT DISPOSE. DISCHARGE ONLY IN CASE OF FIRE. ABC DRY CHEMICAL SHALL BE COLLECTED AND RECYCLED IN AN ENVIRONMENTALLY SOUND MANNER AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH EXISTING LAWS AND REGULATIONS.
IF CONTAINER CONTENTS MUST BE REMOVED FOR SERVICE, MAINTENANCE OR DISMANTLING OF THE SYSTEM – PRIOR TO REMOVAL, CONTACT YOUR LOCAL INSTALLER OR MANUFACTURER FOR INSTRUCTIONS ON HANDLING EQUIPMENT.
