7. Ensure that the check valves are installed in the proper
location as indicated on the installation drawings and
that the equipment is installed with the arrow pointing
in the direction of flow.
8. Verify the nozzles are installed in the correct loca-
tions and have the correct part numbers and orifice
sizes as indicated on installation drawings. Discharge
nozzles must be oriented such that optimum agent
dispersal can be achieved. Check the nozzle orifices
for any obstructions.
9. The discharge nozzles, piping and mounting brackets
must be installed such that they will not cause injury to
personnel. The agent must not be discharged at head
height or below where people in a normal work area
could be injured by the discharge. The agent must not
directly impinge on any loose objects or shelves, cabi-
net tops or similar surfaces where loose objects could
be propelled by the discharge.
10. For systems with a main/reserve capability, the MAIN/
RESERVE switch must be clearly identified and prop-
erly installed where it is readily accessible.
11. Manual pull stations must also be clearly identified and
properly installed where they are readily accessible. All
manual stations that activate FM-200 systems should
be properly identified as to their purpose. Particular care
should be taken where manual pull stations for more
than one system are in close proximity and could be
confused and the wrong system actuated. In this case,
manual stations should be clearly identified as to which
hazard area they affect.
12. Perform the electric control head test outlined in
Paragraph 5-4.3.2 on all cylinders equipped with elec-
tric control heads.
13. Perform the pressure switch test outlined in Paragraph
5-4.3.1 for all pressure switches installed.
14. All acceptance testing shall be in accordance with
NFPA 2001 current edition.
