The Kidde FM-200 ECS Engineered Fire Suppression Sys-
tem equipment listed herein is designed for an operating
temperature range of 32°F to 130°F (0°C to 54°C).
Table 3-1 shows the container temperature-pressure rela-
tionship based on a maximum fill density of 70 lb./ft.

(1121 kg/m

). The Kidde ECS Series FM-200 Flow Calcu-
lation Program is designed for a 70°F (21°C) container op-
erating/storage temperature. Therefore, the container
operating and storage temperature must be in the range of
60°F to 80°F (16°C to 27°C) for a single unbalanced sys-
tem protecting two or more separate hazards. If the con-
tainer operating and storage temperature is outside this
range, an insufficient quantity of agent may be discharged
from one or more discharge nozzles.

If desired, the 125, 200, 350, 600 and 900 lb. cylinders can
be provided with an integral liquid level indicator (see
Paragraph 3-3.2).
As a reference guide, Table 3-2 provides the equivalent
lengths for all the Kidde FM-200 ECS Engineered System
cylinder and valve assemblies. The numbers shown in the
table represent the equivalent length through the cylinder
valve with the flex hose or without the flex hose, depending
on the application. This table can also be found in the Kidde
ECS Series FM-200 Flow Calculation Program. Tables 3-3
and 3-4 (on the following pages) show the dimensions and
fill range for cylinder/valve assemblies in vertical installa-
tions.
