6-4.1 Check Kidde IGS System Cylinder Pressure
Check the Kidde IGS System cylinder pressure gauges for proper operating pressure (refer to
Section 1-5). If the pressure gauge indicates a pressure loss (adjusted for temperature) of
more than 5%, it shall be refilled or replaced. Remove and recharge the cylinder as instructed
in Section 7-5. Cylinders should have a pressure of either 300 bar gauge at 15 °C (4351 psig
at 59 °F) or 200 bar gauge at 15 °C (2901 psig at 59 °F) depending on the pressure
specified on the label.
6-4.2 Check Nitrogen Pilot Cylinder Pressure
If used, check the nitrogen pilot cylinder pressure gauge for proper operating pressure. If there
is a pressure loss (adjusted for temperature) of more than 10%, recharge with nitrogen to
1800 psig @ 70 °F (124 bar gauge @ 21 °C).
6-4.3 Hazard and Enclosure Inspection
Visually inspect the hazard and the integrity of the enclosure for changes which may affect the
performance of the system as per the requirements of BS EN 14520-1 or NFPA 2001.
6-4.4 Pipework and Controls Inspection
Visually inspect the pipework for damage and that all operating controls and components are
properly set and undamaged.
6-5 MONTHLY
In addition to performing the weekly inspection, perform the following procedures every
month:
6-5.1 Perform General Inspection
Make a general inspection survey of all cylinders and equipment for damaged or missing parts.
If the equipment requires replacement, refer to Paragraph 6-11.3.
6-5.1.1 Inspect Discharge Nozzles
Inspect discharge nozzles for dirt and physical damage. Replace damaged nozzles. If nozzles
are dirty or clogged, refer to Paragraph 6-11.1.
6-5.1.2 Inspect Pull Stations
Inspect all manual pull stations for cracks, broken or cracked glass plate, dirt or distortion.
Inspect the station for signs of physical damage. Replace damaged glass. Replace the station
if damaged. If necessary, clean as directed in Paragraph 6-11.1.
6-5.1.3 Inspect Pressure Switches
Inspect pressure switches for deformations, cracks, dirt or other damage. Replace the switch
if damaged. If necessary, clean the switch as directed in Paragraph 6-11.1.
CAUTION
Nozzles must never be painted. A part number is located on each nozzle.
Nozzles must be replaced by nozzles of the same part number. Nozzles must
never be interchanged since random interchanging of nozzles could
adversely affect proper agent distribution and concentration within a
hazard area.
