made of the data and information contained herein y any and all other parties.

Kidde FM-200 Fire Suppression Systems are to e designed, installed, inspected, maintained, tested and recharged y qualified,

trained personnel in accordance with the following:

 Standard of the National Fire Protection Association No. 2001, titled Clean Agent Fire Extinguishing Systems.

 All instructions, limitations, etc. contained in this manual, P/N 90-FM200M-000.

 All information contained on the system container nameplate(s).

Storage, handling, transportation, service, maintenance, recharge, and test of agent storage containers shall e performed only y

qualified and trained personnel in accordance with the information in this manual and Compressed Gas Association pamphlets C-1,

C-6 and P-1:

C-1, Methods for Hydrostatic Testing of Compressed Gas Cylinders.

C-6, Standards for Visual nspection of Compressed Gas Cylinders.

The new design concentration for Class A and C fires applies to systems designed to meet and comply with UL 2166 and NFPA 2001

guidelines. As such, our Customers are reminded and advised:

 The applica le est practice that these systems use automatic actuation;

 Designers should also take note of clause 2-3.5.6.1 in NFPA 20011 with regard to time delays;

 The designer should also take note of A.3-4.2.4 in NFPA 2001 and confirm that the hazard protected does not include any

identifia le fire accelerants2, which would classify the area as a Class B hazard;

 In addition, the designer should refer to section A.3-6 in NFPA 2001 and confirm that the area does not include a material

num er of power or energized ca les3 in close proximity that would predicate the usage of a different design concentration.

Please contact applications engineering for design guidance in this instance.

1 Clause 2-3.5.6.1 in NFPA 2001, 2000 edition states:

For clean agent e tinguishing systems, a pre-discharge alarm and time delay, sufficient to allow personnel evacuation prior to discharge, shall

be provided. For hazard areas subject to fast growth fires, where the provision of a time delay would seriously increase the threat to life and

property, a time delay shall be permitted to be eliminated.

2 A.3-4.2.4 in NFPA 2001, 2000 edition states

Hazards containing both Class A and Class B fuels should be evaluated on the basis of the fuel requiring the highest design concentration.

3 A.3.6 in NFPA 2001, 2000 edition states in part

...Energized electrical equipment that could provide a prolonged ignition source shall be de-energized prior to or during agent discharge. If

electrical equipment cannot be de-energized, consideration should be given to the use of e tended agent discharge, higher initial concentra-

tion, and the possibility of formation of combustion and decomposition products. Additional testing can be needed on suppression of energized

electrical equipment fires to determine these quantities...
