This NEW Restaurant Systems Manual carries a new part number, 20150, for it is a combining of the two .previous manuals, KP Manual PN 12385 rev. "A" and ZD Manual PN 16640. The combining of the two manuals does not eliminate any of the limitations of system requirements of the original two manuals, but strives to organize the information into a comprehensive order with additional informative information for greater clarity and understanding. Some of the changes you will notice in the new manual are made to reduce cost .of inventory, printing, manufacturing, ordering and returns. The first item you will notice is the change in nomenclature, KP 375 or ZD 375 Agent Cylinder Assemblies are now referred to as a Model 375 Agent Cylinder Assemble: Now there is only one part number per Model of Agent Cylinder Assembly. No longer do you have to order a different part number for a KP or ZD Agent Cylinder Assembly nor do you have to stock two cylinders the same size simply because one is for a KP system and one is for a ZD system. Closer examination of the new manual will reveal that the original configured MRM required that you purchase a MRM and an enclosure (painted or stainless steel) separately. The new MRM 11 is supplied pre-installed in an enclosure (painted or stainless steel) ready to mount on the wall. The new MRM 11 incorporates the use of a new ratcheting take up for the automatic detection line. The original MRM used a manual take up method for the cable tensioning and was part number 11977. The original MRM version is no longer in production, however if a replacement for an existing unit is needed or if you are ordering a "Cabinet" enclosure (PN 11978) you can still order part number 11977 as a replacement or to use in the "Cabinet" enclosure. The part number now supplies a MRM 1i unit without the enclosure, but with the new ratcheting take up. It is 100% interchangeable with the original MRM. The new manual will still contain service and maintenance instructions for the original style MRM. Anytime you see a heading that says MRM, it is referring to the original style unit. If the information is good for both style units it will say. MRM / MRM II. The following arrangement, MRM / MRM 11 / PRM, indicates that the information is good for all three units. Due to the combining of the two manuals the following substitutions should be used as follows: KP Manual PN. 12385 is superseded by Restaurant Manual PN 20150 ZD Manual PN 16640 is superseded by Restaurant Manual PN 20150 ZD 275 Agent Cyl.

Amerex Restaurant Fire Suppression Systems are a pre-engineered type as defined in NFPA 17A — Standard for Wet Chemical: Extinguishing Systems. It is manufactured by the Amerex Corporation, Trussville, Alabama. it is essential that all installations of the Amerex KP / ZD Series Systems be performed in compliance with this manual. Those individuals responsible for the design, installation, operation and maintenance of the Amerex Restaurant Fire Suppression System must be trained by Amerex and hold a current Amerex Certificate. All piping limitations, nozzle coverages, detector placements, etc. have been proven and established through exhaustive testing by Underwriters Laboratories, inc. Use of components other than those referenced in this manual, or installations exceeding limitations stated in this manual will void all of the Amerex KP / ZD Series System listings. LISTINGS: The Amerex KP / ZD Series Fire Suppression Systems are a listed pre-engineered fire extinguishing systems. The KP & ZD systems are listed with Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. — USA per UL 300 fire test specification; Underwriters liters Laboratories of Canada, Inc. per ULC/ORD 1254.6 — 1995 and Loss Prevention Certification Board — UK per LPS 1223 rev. B. Testing required for listings under these standards involve live fire tests under specific conditions involving commercial kitchen hoods, ducts and appliances. Each test fire is allowed to reach its maximum intensity before agent is discharged. Each test was repeated using both maximum and minimum piping, variations in agent storage cylinder pressure to simulate maximum . and minimum temperature ratings. Duct fire tests were extinguished with fans off and fans on; dampers open and closed. Splash tests for various appliances were conducted to assure that discharge of the agent would not cause excessive splashing of hot grease to provide greater employee safety during commercial cooking operations. UL Standard 300 introduces a series of tests by specifically addressing the use of high efficiency fryers, ranges, woks and.the unique fire extinguishing challenges that these appliances present.. DESIGN: The Amerex KP Series Pre -Engineered Fire Suppression Systems consist of mechanical and electrical components to be installed by an Authorized Factory Trained and Certified Amerex . Restaurant Fire Suppression Systems distributor. The system is composed of. an Agent Cylinder/Discharge Valve charged with Amerex Kitchen Wet Chemical Agent and a Mechanical Release Module (MRM or MRM II) or Pneumatic Release Module (PRM). The quantity of detectors, fusible links, nozzles, comer pulleys, pulley tees and manual pull stations will vary depending on kitchen design. The system operates either automatically if actuated by a: detector or manually if actuated by a manual pull station. Upon system operation, energy sources for the cooking appliances are required to be shut off immediately. Electrical shutdown devices or suitable gas valves are referenced in this manual. Other equipment such as audible/visual signaling devices can be added where required. The Amerex Restaurant Fire Suppression System suppresses fire in commercial cooking equipment by spraying Amerex Wet Chemical Agent in a pre -determined manner onto cooking appliances and into exhaust ducts, filters and plenum areas. The primary means of fire suppression is either by saponification of surface grease or by cooling the surface of oils and hot metal surfaces with fine droplets of agent, reducing the temperature of the oil and appliance below the auto -ignition point Upon system discharge, the exhaust fans should be left on to aid in dispersal of the liquid suppressant that results in cooling the plenum and duct. Any integral make-up or supply air should be automatically shut off along with all cooking appliances. Some local Authorities Having Jurisdiction require exhaust fans to be shut down by the fire suppression system. Check local fire codes, AHJ and Department of Health in the specific area that the system is being installed for special installation requirements. • The Amerex Restaurant Fire Suppression System agent storage cylinders and cartridge shall not be installed in environments below 32° F or above 120° F (0° C to 49° C). GENERAL INFORMATION — ZONE DEFENSE SYSTEM The Amerex ZD Series Pre -Engineered System consists of mechanical and electrical components to be installed by an Authorized Factory Trained and Certified 'Amerex Restaurant Fire Suppression Systems distributor. The systemis composed of an Agent Cylinder Assembly charged with Amerex Kitchen Wet Chemical Agent and a Pneumatic Release Module (PRM) or an MRM, MRM 11 using a linear link detection network. The system operates either automatically, if actuated by a rupture in the pressurized thermal responsive tubing or by the separation of a thermal link or manually' if actuated by a manual pull station. Upon system operation, energy sources for the cooking appliances are required to be shut-off immediately. Electrical shutdown devices or suitable gas valves are referenced in this manual. Other equipment such as audible/visual signaling devices can be added where required. The Amerex ZD and KP Series Systems use the same components and share the same UL Listings and limits for the protection of the exhaust duct, plenum and dedicated appliance protection. They do not share the same piping limitations or installation philosophy. This manual provides the unique limitations which apply to a Zone Defense Fire Suppression System. What is the basic difference between a KP 'and ZD System Philosophy? The Amerex Zone Defense System was developed for the kitchen' that changes out it's cooking' appliances frequently to accommodate the change in -menu or cooks. The" ZD System provides a detection system and protection system which allows for the moving and rearranging of appliances without changing the fire suppression piping or detection device locations. This is accomplished by using a detection network that will detect a fire no matter where it occurs under the hood and will extinguish cooking appliances located anywhere under the hood, as long as they are inside the "Zone of Protection'. Also the appliances must be capable of being extinguished from overhead. Appliances such as upright broilers, salamanders, covered titling skillets, 'chain feed pizza ovens, etc. are all appliances that cannot be extinguished from overhead, but require specific nozzles with specific aiming for the individual appliance. The use of a 'back shelf over appliances also will block the application of agent from overhead nozzles and therefore requires the use of "Dedicated Appliance Protection" for an appliance with a back shelf. The Amerex Kitchen Protection Fire Suppression System differs from the ZD System in the manner in which it. protects appliances and detects a fire under the. hood. The KP System uses individual "Dedicated Appliance Protection" for each appliance under the hood requiring protection. A. choice of the fire detection method, may be a standard thermal fink network or one of the two linear detection networks. (PRM or Linear Fusible Link). The KP & ZD Series Systems have their distinct application use in the field of kitchen protection. They both provide superior protection from the hazards of commercial cooking. ::- Pe 1-3 ection:_1;:GeneraCanromjation ...- �__ _.-.��_=:`_�.:-, a,:.:.:=: erex-Restaurant Rre'Suppression.System."= ::(EX488) DEFINITION OF TERMS ACTUATION NETWORK: Copper tubing, piping, hose, or combination of the three that allows nitrogen to be supplied from the Mechanical Release Module or Pneumatic Release Module to the Agent Cylinder Assembly(s).

The MRM II is available in the above configurations, now .pre- installed in its own enclosure. The method of setting the detection cable tension on the MRM II does not require the use of any tools: (once the cable is locked down into the large, knurled wind- up spool). A large lever to the right of the spool is used to increase the cable tension. Alignment of the bottom edge of the lever with markings on a label on the mounting plate indicates when the proper tension has been achieved. In addition to being easier to set up, lowering cable tension to change out detection links is now also much simpler. The enclosure is 10" Wide x 5" Deep x 11 %" High. NOTE: This version of the MRM II is a .direct replacement for the old style MRM. It carries the same part number as the original MRM. The Mechanical Release Module 11 is used to actuate the agent cylinder discharge valve either automatically or manually by puncturing a nitrogen cylinder. Automatic release of agent is accomplished when a fusible link detector separates during a fire condition. This causes a spring- loaded plunger to perforate the rupture disc. and releases nitrogen through the actuation hose/piping network to the agent cylinder discharge valve(s). Manual release of agent is accomplished by pulling on a manual pull station which is connected to the Mechanical Release Module 11 by a cable. . The Mechanical Release Module 11 is equipped with twosnap action switches, one (P/N 12524) for electrical signaling, power shutdown and other auxiliary functions and a second (P/N 18312) alarm initiating snap action switch for connection to a fire alarm panel.

SPOT DETECTION NETWORK LIMITATIONS: MRM & MRM I1 Optimum fire suppression system performance .relies on proper detection network design.. This section discusses the type of detectors used, their.selection,and placement and design limitations. The Amerex Restaurant Fre. Suppression System. MRM &.,MRM -11 uses a continuous .cable, comer pulleys, detector bracket, detector linkage, -fusible links, conduit offset, terminal: link connector and .a temperature- measu ring device. The quantity of detectors to be used in a system will depend on the number of ducts, number of appliances and the location of the appliances under the hood. DETERMINING SPOT DETECTOR LOCATION AND NUMBER OF DETECTORS In.order:to detect:a"fire in the duct,-a.detector is required -to be placed within the duct opening or up to 12 inches into the duct. If it is mounted` into the duct; the bracket shall not shield the fusible linkfrom, the hot vapors moving through the duct. Every appliance under the hood that is being protected by the suppression system must have a detector placed over it and positioned within the path of exhaust vapors. WARNING: DO NOT LOCATE DETECTORS DIRECTLY IN THE PATH OF GAS APPLIANCE. EXHAUST.FLUE GASES. DOING SO COULD RESULT IN. UNNECESSARY DISCHARGE OF THE SYSTEM. GENERAL:LIMITATIONS.OF DETECTION- NETWORK: Maximum of 30 corner pulleys. (either style) Maximum. of 30 detectors (any combination of temperature settings).

Nps LINEAR FUSIBLE LINK DETECTION NETWORK OF SPOT DETECTORS The standard spot detection system may be installed in a manner that will yield linear detection for the entire length of the hood without concem for where the appliance is located under the hood. Why would 1 use this method over the lanyard linear fusible link system? 1. You want linear detection for the full length of hood •but the limit of twenty finks is not enough for the length of hood being protected. 2. You are protecting two hood and they are back to back, the lanyard system must be installed in a • straight line. 3. You have two hoods that are end to end but one of the hoods only has one appliance requiring protection. The lanyard system is used for total linear detection of the entire hood. This version of detection allows you to use total linear hood detection on one hood and spot detection on the second hood. This is accomplished by installing the fink brackets so that there is a link no more than 24" from each end of the hood and no more than 24" between each successive link center. You must locate one fink in the hood / duct opening. The limitations on the amount of cable and links that can be used in the system are the same as that for the standard spot detection system. Limitations: Maximum of 30 comer pulleys. (Either style) Maximum of 30 detectors (any combination of temperature settings) Maximum of 200 feet of cable in the detection network.

Installing the links in this manner allows the appliances to be placed anywhere under the hood without having to locate links directly over each appliance. A unique system of cable segments, pre -fabricated, has been developed to make the installation of this system simple and easy. It eliminates the use of conduit, link holders and mounting brackets under the hood in the plenum area. The limitations of the Linear Fusible Link Detection System are as follows: 1. Maximum of 20 detection links and (19) Link to Link Cable Segments. 2. Maximum of 30 feet of cable used in the Link to MRM Cable Segment_ 3. Maximum of 20 comer pulleys. (either style) 4.

MECHANICAL GAS VALVE APPLICATIONS The MRM, MRM 'II or PRM closes the mechanical gas valve immediately upon system discharge. A pneumatic and mechanical action in the gas trip assembly pulls on .a cable attached .to the mechanical gas valve, unlatching the valve and allowing an internal spring within the gas valve body to provide the closing force. Connection of the cable from the gas valve to the MRM, MRM II or PRM under tension maintains the gas valve in an open position. MECHANICAL GAS VALVE A mechanical gas .valve- trip assembly must be used with any mechanical gas valve. The gas .valve trip assembly (P/N 12740) is included with all Amerex manufactured gas valves but must be ordered separately for use with gas valves listed in this manual supplied by other manufacturers. See Section 3 `System Components" for all mechanical gas valves that are suitable for use with the Amerex Restaurant Fire Suppression System. The use of any other mechanical gas valves will avoid the UL listing for the system installation. All of the listed valves have female NPT threads. The location of the gas valve should be . accessible and approved by the local Authority Having Jurisdiction. A contractor licensed and qualified for such work should perform installation of the mechanical gas valve into the gas line. LIPKELEIMI MECHANICAL GAS VALVE ACTUATION NETWORK LIMITATIONS The mechanical gas valve actuation network consists of cable, comer pulleys, pulley tee, gas valve and conduit offset. GENERAL LIMITATIONS OF MECHANICAL VALVE NETWORK Maximum of 20 comer pulleys per mechanical gas valve of any listed type in KP Manual Maximum of 130 feet (39.6m) of cable per mechanical gas valve of any listed type in KP Manual Maximum of 1 pulley tee per network (counts as one comer pulley for each mechanical gas valve) Maximum of 1 conduit offset per network (must be located at the releasing module and before. the tee pulley when used) CONDUIT OFFSET i (OPTIONAL) I' MRM or MRM 11 or PRM SINGLE GAS VALVE NETWORK DENOTES "SINGLE PATH` FOR CABLE LENGTH & PULLEY QUANTITY CALCULATION. DUAL GAS VALVE NETWORK ELECTRICAL GAS VALVE APPLICATIONS 110 VAC electrical gas valves may be used in place of the mechanical gas valves. The electric shut-off valve used with the Amerex Restaurant Fire Suppression System must be UL listed for use with natural gas or propane, be held open by energizing an electric solenoid and be wired through a snap action switch and manual release relay. A qualified electrician must do any field wiring and connections involving the shut -down of electrical cooking equipment or an electric gas valve. ELECTRIC GAS VALVE OPERATION _ =:PILI=== = i - S1 " '_:: !-0 =`Mac ufactuTer- 12870 3/" 12871 1" 12872 1'/" 12873 11/2" • As co 12874 2" 12875 2 %/2" 12876 3" Power to the electric gas valve is run through the normally closed contact on a micro -switch located in the Pneumafic Release Module (PRM) or Mechanical Release Module (MRM & MRM II) to the Manual Reset Relay and from the Manual Reset Relay to the electric gas valve. In a normal (non fire) condition, current is allowed to flow to the solenoid on the electric gas valve, holding the valve open. In a fire condition, when the release module actuates the suppression system, the micro -switch contacts will transfer, opening the normally closed contacts in the manual reset relay, interrupting current to the gas valve and cause it to close. Resetting the MRM, MRM II or PRM and transferring the contacts back to a normal (normally closed) position will not cause the electrical gas valve to open. The manual reset relay must be reset before current will flow to the valve and cause it to open. A loss in electrical power, even temporary or momentary, will require someone to manually reset the relay before the electrical gas valve will open again. • NOTE: SEE WIRING SCHEMATIC ON THE NEXT PAGE — A WIRING SCHEMATIC IS PACKED WITH EACH MANUAL RESET RELAY.

PLENUM PROTECTION The criteria for plenum protection in a/.1) System are the same as that for the KP System found in first half of this section. DEDICATED APPLIANCE PROTECTION When a 70 System includes protection for an appliance which cannot be protected by the 71) Nozzles creating the "zone of defense", that appliance is to be protected using Dedicated Appliance Protection. The Dedicated Appliance Protection is found in the preceding portion of this section. ZONE DEFENSE APPLIANCE PROTECTION ZONE OF PROTECTION NFPA 96 —10.1.1:"Cooking equipmentthat produces grease -laden. vapors and that might be a source of ignition of grease in the hood, grease removal device, or duct shall. be protected by fire - extinguishing equipment." The Amerex "Zone Defense" Fire Suppression System has been approved and tested in compliance with the requirements of NFPA 96 — "Standard for Ventilation Control & Fire Protection of Commercial Cooking Operations, NFPA 17A — "Standard for Wet Chemical Extinguishing System" and UL -300 — "Fire Testing of Fire Extinguishing Systems for Protection of Restaurant Cooking Areas'. The Amerex "Zone Defense" System provides two types of appliance protection; "Zone of Protection" and "Dedicated Appliance Protection." The following is a list of eligible cooking appliances and their maximum cooking hazard size that may be protected with the "zone of protection" nozzle coverage. Appliance Type Fryer Range' Wok — maximum Wok — minimum Griddle Lava Rock Char -broiler -Gas or Electric Radiant Char -broiler Mesquite Charcoal (Solid Fuel) Char -broiler Mesquite Chips "& Chunks Char -broiler Mesquite Logs Char -broiler ZONE OF PROTECTION — DEFINED The "Zone of Protection" is a rectangular area 34" deep X the Length of the hood in which an eligible cooking appliance can be placed and be protection. The appliance may be moved to any location within the "Zone of Protection" and be protected without any nozzles being moved or re -aimed. The "Zone of Protection" is created by the use of overlapping spray from multiple nozzles creating an area that is soaked by wet chemical agent. This is accomplished by placing Amerex ZD nozzles, part number 14178, in a straight line from one end of the hood to the opposite end. The nozzles are to be a maximum of 20 inches (50.8cm) apart on center and must start and end at a point no greater than 6 inches (15.2cm) from the end of the hood. The nozzles are to be located 46 to 51 inches above the top surface of the appliances and aimed straight down. The resulting "Zone of Protection" is a rectangular area 34" (86.4cm) deep x length of hood with its front and rear edges 17" (43.2cm) from the centerline of the nozzles.

The 'Zone of Protection" requires that the nozzles be placed at 46.to 51 inches above the top surface of the appliance, all ZD nozzles are to' be placed at the same elevation and the nozzles are to be aimed.straight . down. No additional aiming is required because the eligible appliances are protected no matter where they are located within the `Zone of Protection". Therefore,.the spray is not to be impeded in any manner. When an appliance such as an upright broiler or salamander.is .part of the cooking appliance lineup,. a, dedicated appliance nozzle must be used to protect it. The ZD -nozzles cannot protect cooking appliances with an enclosed cooking area such as .an upright broiler or salamander. No ZD nozzles are. required above..the upright broiler protected by a dedicated. nozzle,, however the ZD nozzle located to the right and left of the appliance must be no more than 6 inches .from the edge of the appliance:, The illustration below reflects the situation described above. The location of the upright broiler is now foced and the appliance must remain in this location. Dedicated appliance protection of salamanders, cheeserrmeiters, chain broiler or a range with a back -shelf is always in addition to the zone defense nozzles located overhead.

'DETECTION NETWORK LIMITATIONS: PRM DETECTION Optimum fire suppression system performance relies on proper detection network design. This section discusses the Location, design and installation limitations. The Amerex. Zone Defense Fire Suppression System may use one: of two -`.detection methods. The first is a PRM that uses: a continuous. ,piece of pressurized thermal .sensitive tubing to provide the: ultimate in dependable fire detection. No cable, No comer pulleys; No detector `bracket; No link holders; -No fusible links, Noconduit offset, or terminal link connector to install. Sirnpiy run the pressurized thermal sensitive tubing through the plenum of the hood and across the center of the hood duct opening. Fasten the tubing securely every 18 inches (45.7cm) and -you have provided protection the entire length of the hood. No Matter where the appliance is located under the hood, it is being watched- by the PRM (Pneumatic Release Module). In order to detect a fire in the duct, the tubing is required to be placed across the center of the hood / duct opening or three sides of the hood duct opening. See page 4-5 of the manual for tubing routing and see PRM Design & Installation Manual Part No. 16546, dated, March 2006, for installation instructions.

TESTING THE DETECTION NETWORK — MRM or MRM II The terminal detector must have a Test Link (P/N 12891) installed in place of the fusible link. With the N2 actuation cylinder removed from the release module; the release mechanism cocked; the tension bar in the "up" (tension) position and the set-up/lock-out tool removed; cut the test link with a pair of dikes or similar device. The MRM or MRM II must fire at this time. If. the MRM / MRM II did fire, follow the reset instructions, place the proper fusible link on the terminal detector and continue with the system test. If the MRM did not fire, check to see if: • the detectors are installed properly, • that the cable is not binding at any point in the conduit or comer pulley(s), • that the cable is connected to the link plate properly, • that the tension bar is in the "up" position and that the set-up/lock-out tool is not in place • that the conduit is rigidly fastened in place • that the proper tension exists on the link line Once these items have been investigated and resolved, retest. TESTING THE DETECTION NETWORK - PRM When first placing the system into service, following system actuation, or at the six month servicing interval, the detection network shall be tested: 1. insure removal of the Nitrogen Actuation Cylinder. 2. Slowly release the detection pressure until the panel actuates by performing either of the following: a Depress the Schrader valve on the detection accumulator cylinder. Replace Schrader cap following actuation and re -pressurization. b Slowly loosen the knurled nut on the end and check for leaks of line fitting. Re -tighten the nut following actuation and thoroughly leak check following re -pressurization. If the PRM did fire, follow reset instructions and continue with the system test if the PRM did not fire, check to see if: • that the PRM was properly cocked • that the "End of Line Fitting" did properly vent the pressure from the accumulator • that the accumulator pressure reading dropped to zero • that the set-up/lock-out tool is not in place • that the slide plate and puncture pin are free to function • that the trip plunger is free to move without resistance Once these items have been investigated and resolved, retest. �ction�;=Tesitng�anc� �Gomiiiissioriin_� erez:Rastauraiii Fira;5upprds66r TESTING THE MANUAL PULL STATION =- MRM, MRM II OR PRM After the detection network has been tested and before inserting the nitrogen actuation cylinder the manual pull station must be tested. Remove the pull pin on the manual pull station, grab the handle and pull away from the mounting surface. The MRM, MRM II or PRM must fire at this time. If the MRM or PRM did fire, replace the pull pin, attach a tamper seal and follow the reset instructions. If the MRM or PRM did not fire: • check to see that the pull station is installed properly, • that the cable is not binding anywhere in the conduit, comer pulley(s) or pulley tee, • that the cable is connected properly to the manual pull cam in the MRM or PRM, • that the set-up/lock-out tool is not in place. Once these items have been investigated and resolved, retest. TESTING THE MECHANICAL GAS VALVE - MRM, MRM 11 OR PRM With the gas on and appliances working, pull on the cable leading to the gas valve where it connects to the piston plug/gas trip assembly in the MRM, MRM II or PRM. A 1/z inch cable movement will be sufficient to close the gas valve. The gas valve must release at this time. If the gas valve does not release, follow the reset instructions and continue with the test: If the gas valve does not release: • check to see that it has been installed properly, • that it is fitted tightly into the gas line, • that the cable is not binding in the conduit or in a comer pulley(s), • that it has bean connected to the release module properly and that the cable has been secured .� properly to the gas valve trip mechanism. Insure that the red vinyl cap is properly installed. Once these items have been investigated and resolved, reset_ TESTING THE DISTRIBUTION PIPING NETWORK The Amerex Restaurant Fire Suppression System is a wet chemical suppression system using pre- engineered piping limitations that do not require balancing. As long as the design limitations for the distribution piping network as stated in the design section have NOT been exceeded, there should be no concern regarding proper distribution of agent at each discharge nozzle. "B sts" are not considered necessary. To confirm that the distribution network piping is clear and intact, a "Puff Test" or "Air Test" may be performed. This test may be performed as an individual test or as part of a functional test. When performing a "Puff Test" as part of a functional test, all other components of the system are installed, including the nitrogen actuation cylinder and an agent cylinder valve assembly charged with 'compressed air or nitrogen only to 100 psi (689.48 kPa) — no fire suppression agent. Either a manual pull station is activated or a test link is cut and all system functions, including auxiliary outputs and discharge of air or nitrogen through the distribution piping, should occur at this time. All functions are confirmed and documented and the system is recharged and reset. To perform the Tuff Test". as an individual test • Replace agent cylinder(s) with test cylinder(s) and actuate the system. o Confirm that each nozzle is clear and -continue testing. Section .5':,Testing :and Cdrrimissidning ..,_.;; Ariierex.Restaurant Fre-.Suppression:.Syste TESTING THE ELECTRICAL GAS VALVE — MRM, MRM Il or PRM With the gas valve and the appliances working follow the procedure for testing the manual pull station. When the manual pull station is activated and the MRM, MRM Il or PRM fires, the snap action switch(es) must transfer contacts cutting off current to the electric gas valve. The Manual Reset Relay shall show an "off" condition. If this does not happen, tum the power to the relay and electric gas valve off and check all electrical connections, retest. TESTING COMPLETED After all testing has been completed, follow reset instructions and put the system on line, including the nitrogen actuation cylinder and all tamper seals. The testing procedures and results should be documented in written form with copies left for the owner/manager, Local AHJ (if required) and a copy put into the permanent job file. Amerex P/N 13023 "Commissioning Checklist" or similar form shall be used. A short instruction period on the operation of the system and procedures to use during a fire incident shall be given to the owner or owner's agent and appropriate employees. A copy of Amerex P/N 12386 'Owner's Manual" must be given to the owner along with a Material Safety Data Sheet on the Amerex Kitchen Wet Chemical Agent. Review the "Owner's Manual" with the owner or owners agent. Any discrepancies found between the finished installation and the design sketches or drawings should be noted and an "as -built" drawing prepared for the permanent job file. SECTION 6 SYSTEM MAINTENANCE MANUAL P/N 20150 AMEREX RESTAURANT FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM Tested and Listed by Underwriters Laboratories, Inco to UL Standard 300 EX 4658 Tested and Listed by Underwriters Laboratories of Canada to UL/ORD 1254.6-1995 December 2008 MAINTENANCE THE AMEREX RESTAURANT FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM MUST BE PROPERLY MAINTAINED AT INTERVALS NOT EXCEEDING SIX (6) MONTHS iN ORDER TO ASSURE PROPER OPERATION. MAINTENANCE SHALL BE PERFORMED BY AN AMEREX RESTAURANT FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEMS TRAINED AND CERTIFIED DISTRIBUTOR IN ACCORDANCE WITH NFPA 96, NFPA 17A AND LOCAL CODE REQUIREMENTS. A complete functional test of the system as described in the 'Testing and Commissioning" section of this manual shall be performed at every maintenance interval along with the following: 1. Prior to performing any maintenance, remove the cover of the MRM, MRM Il or PRM, install the set- up/lock-out tool (not used in the MRM 11) and remove the nitrogen actuation cylinder. 2. Compare the number, type and location of each appliance with the `as -built" drawings or the previous system service. Note any changes in writing to the owner or the owner's agent and put a copy of the notification in the permanent job file. CHANGES *IN. THE COOKING LINE WILL HAVE A MAJOR EFFECT ON THE SYSTEM DESIGN AND PERFORMANCE. If appliances have been added or changed the system may have to be redesigned. 3. Note the condition of the hood and duct, including grease build up and code violations (both local codes and NFPA 96 and NFPA 17A). Notify the owner or owner's agent of any problems or code violations — in writing with a copy to be placed in the permanent job file. 4. Check the entire distribution network piping, nozzles and caps to verify that they. have not been altered or damaged. Perform "puff test" or "air test' in accordance with "Testing and Commissioning" instructions. CAUTION: SOME HOOD AND DUCT CLEANING PROCEDURES MAY DAMAGE THE DETECTION NETWORK OR LEAVE DETECTORS IN A CONDITION WHERE THEY MAY NOT OPERATE. AMEREX RECOMMENDS THAT THE SYSTEM BE SERVICED AFTER EACH CLEANING BY AN AUTHORIZED AMEREX KP RESTAURANT SYSTEMS DISTRIBUTOR. 5. Amerex recommends that all fusible links be replaced every 6 months. Under no circumstances shall fusible links be allowed to remain on line for more than ONE year. Links that do not need replacing must be thoroughly cleaned before being put back into service. Any fusible link found to be damaged, painted or having excessive grease must be replaced regardless of age. 6. A system using a PRM requires that the tubing be replaced at intervals not to exceed three (3) years. Record the installation date and the date of replacement on the tubing replacement label on the Detection Accumulator Cylinder. The entire length of tubing must be replaced, either at the three year interval or following a fire incident. if grease or coating build-up is excessive, a more frequent replacement interval will be required. At a minimum, excessive build-up is defined as when material completely encircles the tube at a� point along its length. Cleaning the tube is acceptable, provided that no abrasives are used, and that the text on the outside of the tubing is still legible when completed. Use only soft cloth with mild detergents and warm water. If the tubing appears brittle or charred REPLACE it. "When In DOUBT, Take it OUT". Corrective action should be taken to re-evaluate the environment where the tubing is installed, or a more frequent tubing inspection and/or replacement interval must be used. The End of Line Fitting Assembly (P/N 16506) must be replaced when the tubing is replaced. Do not attempt to re -use the Fitting or the Sealing Ball. Thoroughly Teaks check the tubing terminations following re -installation and re - pressurization. ectioii-G' Merex:Restaurant-Fire,Suppression System 7. Use the digital thermometer to record. the temperatures found at each detector location (with :� appliances running) and compare with .those temperatures found at the same locationduringthe last system maintenance. insufficient air movement, excessive grease build up andappliance changes can cause temperatures to elevate even to the point of system discharge without a fire occurring. INCREASING THE TEMPERATURE SETTING ..OF THE FUSIBLE LINK IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE SOLUTION .TO THIS PROBLEM. - 8. The agent cylinder assembly and nitrogen actuation cylinder must be checked for proper pressure (within the green pie OPERABLE: RANGE on pressure gauges). 9. The agent cylinder and all hose assemblies must be hydrostatically tested at a minimum of every 12 years. . a Agent Cylinder — test to 480 .psi: (3309 kPa) b Actuation Hose (if used) — test to 3500 psi (24131 kPa) c Distribution Hose — Test to 480 psi (3309 kPa) If the agent cylinder. or hose assemblies. have been subjected to physical damage, excessive heat or corrosion they should be hydrostatically.tested or replaced regardless of their age. 10. Replace nitrogen actuation cylinder, REMOVE -SET UP/LOCK OUT TOOL, replace the MRM cover andinstall new tamper seals. 11. After performing a complete functional test of the system the owner or. owner's agent shall receive some documentation on the maintenance performed (with a copy to be placed in the permanent job file) and. instruction on how the system and related .hand portable fire extinguishers work, including procedures for incidents. 12..

Appendix Al: The installation of a Deep Fat Fryer Nozzle PN13729 at a height lower than its listed minimum is only permitted if provisions are made to accommodate the resultant splashing of grease. This need may occur due to the low height of the hood provided over the appliance. In the event of such a situation precautions must be taken to prevent the splashing of the hot grease onto persons or flammRble material located adjacent to the appliance." Any opening that would allow this to happen must be closed off by the installation of a guard of sufficient size to prevent the splashing. The required guard height above the appliance is limited to the size of the opening or 18" whichever is less. A guard higher than 18" is permitted but not required. This provision will then allow the nozzles to be located at a height less than the listed minimum The lowest no77le height is limited to 16" above the liquid level of the grease. Extinguishment at this lower height is enhanced due to the increase of agent being applied directly to the burning grease and none being allowed to spray outside the appliance. A high degree of fire safety is achieved and public safety is preserved. Appendix A2: The term "Commercial" is used interchangeably with "Industrial" as it applies to cooking appliances. Both refer to the preparation of food for sale, with the primary difference being the quantity of food cooked and to whom the consumer is. None of those considerations are of any importance when it comes to fire suppression and safety. AMEREX KP Restaurant Fire Suppression.
