2. Quick Installation Overview
Perform a Fire Hazard Analysis
- A detailed Fire Hazard Analysis is beyond the scope of this manual. However, a Fire
Hazard Analysis must be conducted by a trained individual familiar with the process
being protected prior to system installation. At a minimum, the Hazard Analysis must
define potential flammable materials (fuel) and potential process failure which could
result in combustion (heat source).
- A reliable automatic fire detection system must be located to provide fast and accurate
fire detection. The method of detection should also provide for ease of testing and
maintenance without interfering with normal process operation and maintenance.
- Actuation wiring must be located away and protected from potential hazard areas. All
wiring must be installed using quality materials and must be protected from corrosion
and other possible damage to circuits.
Determine Control Panel Location
- The SDRP must be located where periodic testing and maintenance can be performed.
The toggle switches and LED display must be accessible and visible. While the SDRP
contains certain protection from the elements, it’s always good practice to keep
electronics away from water, oil, and other conductive materials.
- Ensure the SDRP is not located in the hazard area and is protected in some manner
against high temperatures.
- Mount the SDRP to a flat, stable surface
- Battery replacement is periodically required. The SDRP panel must be installed
such that access to mounting hardware is available.
Determine Manual Release Switch Location
- If the Manual Release Switch PN 830003 is to be installed, ensure the switch is located
in an accessible location in the path of egress between 42” and 48” above the floor.
While the Manual Switch is designed to be protected against the elements, it’s always
good practice to keep electronics away from water, oil and other conductive materials.
Thermal Detection Methods and Field Wiring
- The SDRP operates using class B detection as defined by NFPA 72 National Fire Alarm
and Signaling Code. Normally open sensors wired in parallel are used to provide
thermal detection. Electrical Supervision of the detectors and detection circuit wiring is
provided by the SDRP through a 470k ohm end of line resistor.
- If the SDRP senses a wiring break, a Trouble condition is displayed when the “Test”
toggle switch is operated via a yellow LED at the SDRP.
- If the SDRP senses a wiring or thermal detector closure, the SDRP will automatically
actuate the connected Stat-X generators.
