14 Vehicle and Mobile Plant Installation Notes (AS5062)
For AS5062 vehicle installations, a risk assessment must be completed all equipment, and the
design agreed upon by the installer and operators. The risk assessment should include
identification of all fuel and ignition sources and these should be considered in the design of
the fire system.
All electrical connections outside the operator’s cabin are to be completed using the supplied
Deutsch DT plugs or metal electrical enclosures. A minimum Ingress Protection rating of IP65
is required to be maintained throughout the installed system and components.
When installing a system for compliance to AS5062, the following is required:
Automatic Discharge: The control panel shall be programmed for automatic discharge on
alarm (see 6. Programming) unless there are valid reasons determined by the risk assessment
why automatic discharge would be inappropriate.
Equipment Shutdown: As determined by the risk assessment, any equipment that may
impede operation of the fire system must be shutdown prior to system discharge. This requires
the installation of the FP-08860 Shutdown Relay Module.
Secondary Power Supply: In addition to the power supply requirements as per 3.1 Power
Supply Input, AS5062 also requires a secondary power supply capable of operating the fire
system for a minimum of 24 hours. This requires the installation of the FP-08870 or FP-08871
Power Control Module (depending on available power supply), or the identification of an
appropriate secondary power source in the equipment that will not be affected by any failure
of the primary power supply.
System Discharge Advice: AS5062 requires independent notification to the operator if the
suppression system has been discharged. This requires the installation of the FP-08825
Thermal Fuse Coupling.
Manual Actuation: As determined by the risk assessment, additional manual actuators must
be installed on Circuit 1 Alarm to allow for remote manual activation of the suppression system.
This requires the installation of FP-14053 External Manual Actuators and Circuit 1 Alarm to be
programmed for automatic discharge.
