SPECIFICATION FOR A TOTAL FLOOD CLEAN FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM FOR USE WITH RHINO™ CONTROL PANEL SYSTEM

SECTION 2 - AGENT REQUIREMENTS

6. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION:

1. The system shall be a Total Flood FM-200 Suppression System supplied by:
   FIKE Protection Systems
   704 South 10th Street
   Blue Springs, MO. 64015
2. The system shall provide an FM-200 minimum design concentration of __ %, by volume, in all areas and/or protected spaces, at the minimum anticipated temperature within the protected area. System design shall not exceed the NOAEL value of 9.0%, adjusted for maximum space temperature anticipated, unless provisions for room evacuation, before agent release, are provided.
3. The system shall be complete in all ways. It shall include all mechanical and electrical installation, all detection and control equipment, agent storage containers, FM-200 agent, discharge nozzles, pipe and fittings, manual release and abort stations, audible and visual alarm devices, auxiliary devices and controls, shutdowns, alarm interface, caution/ advisory signs, functional checkout and testing, training and all other operations necessary for a functional, U.L. Listed and/or F.M. approved FM-200 Clean Agent Suppression System.
4. Provide two (2) inspections during the first year of service. Inspections shall be made at 6 month intervals commencing when the system is first placed into normal service.
5. The general contractor shall be responsible for sealing and securing the protected spaces against agent loss and/or leakage during the 10 minute "hold" period.
6. The system(s) shall be actuated by a combination of ionization and/or photoelectric detectors installed at a maximum spacing of 250 sq. ft. (23.2 sq. mtr) per detector, in both the room, underfloor and above ceiling protected spaces. If the air flow is one air change per minute, photoelectric detectors only shall be installed at a spacing not to exceed 125 sq. ft. (11.6 sq. mtr) per detector. (Ref. NFPA No. 72 - Chapter 5 - 1993 edition)
7. Detectors shall be wired in FIKE'S "Sequential Detection" method of operation, standard Cross-Zoned detection, or single detector release, using either a Class "A" or Class "B" wiring arrangement. No other detection / wiring arrangements will be acceptable.
8. Automatic operation of each protected area shall be as follows:

1. Actuation of one (1) detector, within the system, shall:

1. Illuminate the "ALARM" lamp on the control panel face.
2. Energize an alarm bell and/or an optional visual indicator.
3. Transfer sets of 5 Amp rated auxiliary contacts which

can perform auxiliary system functions such as:

1. Operate door holder/closures on access doors.
2. Transmit a signal to a fire alarm system.
3. Shutdown HVAC equipment.

4. Light an individual lamp on an optional graphic annunciator.

2. Actuation of a 2nd detector, within the system, shall:

1. Illuminate the "PRE-DISCHARGE" lamp on the control panel face.
2. Energize an predischarge horn or horn/strobe device.
3. Shut down the HVAC system and/or close dampers.
4. Start time-delay sequence (not to exceed 60 seconds).
5. System abort sequence is enabled at this time.
6. Light an individual lamp on an optional graphic annunciator.

3. After completion of the time-delay sequence, the FM-200 Clean Agent system shall discharge and the following shall occur:

1. Illuminate a "SYSTEM FIRED" lamp on the control panel face.
2. Shutdown of all power to high-voltage equipment
3. Energize a visual indicator(s) outside the hazard in which the discharge occurred.
4. Energize a "System Fired" audible device. (Optional)

4. The system shall be capable of being actuated by manual discharge devices located at each hazard exit. Operation of a manual device shall duplicate the sequence description above except that the time delay and abort functions SHALL be bypassed. The manual discharge station shall be of the electrical actuation type and shall be supervised at the main control panel.
