SPA Extreme electrical details
The SPA Extreme system uses actuators to operate valves located with in the
pressurized container that contains the extinguishant. These are triggered
remotely using a battery-powered power pack.
In order to guarantee reliable operation the connectors used are 1P67 and the
actuators used are of a military specification with the system / battery test
electronics integrated into the power pack.
The power pack electronics can test the continuity of the wiring, and also
provides a high current pulse test to ensure system integrity before use. Unlike
other systems, the battery test will not destroy or put an excessive drain on the
battery during this critical test.
These tests are performed using a three way switch on the power pack box and
should be performed before each usage of the system, since the system is only as
good as the battery that powers it and the integrity of the wiring loom and its
connectors.
To check the condition of the battery, push up and hold the switch on the power
pack box. Every two seconds you will see a YELLOW - light flash.
If the light flashes very dimly the battery must be replaced.
IF IN DOUBT REPLACE THE BATTERY!!!!
SYSTEM CONTINUITY CHECK
To check the continuity of the wiring, ensure that the switch on the power pack
box is in the SYSTEM INACTIVE position to ensure that the extinguisher is not
fired.
Press the internal firing button and check that the RED light comes on, press the
external firing button, and check that this also makes the RED light come on.
The external button must be positioned close to the exterior master switch.
DO ensure that the wiring does not run next to looms especially if they contain
ignition or battery cables
DO ensure that any exposed connections that are likely to get water sprayed are
protected.
DO NOT allow cables to run through sharp edged apertures without protection
DO NOT fix cables to any surface that is likely to see excessive temperatures
