Assembly is shipped factory filled with Amerex KP Liquid Agent. It
is pressurized with dry Nitrogen to a pressure of 240 psi (1655 kPa)
at 70°F (20°C). The nitrogen charge is the expellant gas which
discharges the KP agent through the distribution network. Cylinders
are shipped from the factory with a shipping plate installed on the
top of the valve to prevent accidental discharge and an anti-recoil
plate on the valve outlet to redirect chemical flow should an
accidental discharge occur. BOTH OF THESE PLATES MUST BE
REMOVED AT INSTALLATION.

MECHANICAL RELEASE MODULE (MRM) (P/N 11977)
The mechanical release module is used to actuate the agent
cylinder/discharge valve either automatically or manually by
puncturing a nitrogen cylinder. The pressure from the
cylinder pneumatically opens the discharge valve(s).
Automatic release of agent is accomplished when a fusible
link detector separates under a fire condition and releases
tension on the cable. This causes a spring-loaded plunger to
perforate the cylinder seal and releases nitrogen through the
actuation hose/piping network to the discharge valve(s).
Manual release of agent is accomplished by pulling on a
manual pull station which is connected to the mechanical
release module by a cable.
The mechanical release module is equipped with two
microswitch (P/N 12524) for electrical signaling, power
shutdown and other auxiliary functions. An additional two
microswitches may be added.
Operation of one or two mechanical gas valves may be
accomplished by adding a piston plug/gas trip assembly
(P/N 12740).
The cable for the gas valves, manual pull stations and
detection network may be attached to the MRM from
any of three sides (top, bottom and riQht).

Each detector in the Amerex KP Restaurant System is
comprised of three parts. The detector bracket, detector
linkage and the fusible link (ordered separately). The
bracket seJVes as support for the linkage and is attached
to a rigid surface. The linkage supports the fusible link and
a continuous cable under tension. At a predetermined
temperature the fusible link will separate, relieving tension
on the cable and actuating the system. Fusible link not included with
detector
This manual will refer to series and terminal detectors. There is no difference in part numbers or dimensions
between series and terminal detectors. A terminal detector is the last or only detector in the network and the
cable must be "terminated" there. A series detector is any detector located between the terminal detector
and the mechanical release modufe in the detection network.
TEST LINKS (PIN 12891)
Test links are available for conducting functional tests of the detection
system. This device fits the detector in the same manner as the fusible
link, is normally placed on the terminal detector and can be cut, simulating
a fusible link separating under fire conditions.

All Amerex KP Restaurant Systems protecting gas-fired cooking appliances must use a gas shut-off valve
listed for use with the system. Amerex mechanical gas valves are held open with a latching device. Upon
system discharge a piston in the MRM or PRM will pull on a cable connected to the latch in the gas valve,
releasing the latch and allowing the spring to close the valve. These valves are considered to be ·Normally

solenoid is interrupted by a microswitch in the MRM or
PRM causing the valve to shut. A loss of electrical
power Will also cause an electrical gas valve to close. A
manual reset relay must be used with electric gas

Anytime an electrical gas valve is connected to an Amerex KP Restaurant System, a manu_al reset relay must
be used. After an electrical gas valve has closed (either because of system
discharge or because of power failure), the valve cannot be opened withoul
manually pressing the reset button on the manual reset relay. This operation
is to guard against a momentary loss of power closing the valve,

DETECTION NETWORK LIMITATIONS: MRM
Section 3 Design
Amerex KP Wet Chemical S stem
Page 3 -23
EX4658
Optimum fire suppression system performance relies on proper detection network design. This section
discusses the type of detectors used, their selection, placement and design limitations.
The Amerex KP Restaurant Fire Suppression System MRM uses a continuous cable, corner pulleys, detector
bracket, detector linkage, fusible links, conduit offset, terminal link connector and a temperature-measuring
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 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 cannot shield the fusible link from 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 24 corner pulleys. ( either style)
Maximum of 20 detectors (any combination of temperature settings).
Maximum of 120 feet of cable on the detection network.
No pulley tees are allowed.
Remote manual pulls are not allowed on the detection network.

MECHANICAL GAS VALVE APPLICATIONS
Section 3 Design
Amerex KP Wei Chemical S stem
Page 3 -26
EX 4658
The PRM or MRM 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 valve body to provide the closing force. Connection of the
cable from the valve to the PRM or MRM 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.
MECHANICAL GAS VALVE ACTUATION NETWORK LIMITATIONS
The mechanical gas valve actuation network consists of cable, corner pulleys, pulley tee, gas valve and
conduit offset.
GENERAL LIMITATIONS OF MECHANICAL VALVE NETWORK
Maximum of 20 corner pulleys per mechanical gas valve of any listed type in KP Manual
Maximum of 130 feel (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 corner pulley for each mechanical gas valve)
Maximum of 1 conduit offset per network (must be located at pneumatic release module and before tee pulley
when chose)

Microswitches may be used to perform a variety of output functions such as surrounding an
auxiliary audible or visual alarm signaling device, sending a signal to a building fire alarm
system (a requirement per NFPA 96 if the building is equipped with a fire alarm system},
shutting down electric cooking appliances, or disrupting power to an electrical gas valve,
WARNING: POWER TO COOKING APPLIANCES SHOULD NEVER BE RUN THROUGH THE
MICROSWITCH, THE SWITCH SHOULD BE USED TO OPERATE A SEPARATE,
CONTRACTOR SUPPLIED, ELECTRICAL CONTACTOR OR MAGNETIC SWITCH OF
SUFFICIENT RATING TO HANDLE THE POWER REQUIREMENTS OF THE
ASSOCIATED COOKING APPLIANCES. I!:, LICENSED ELECTRICIAN SHOULD
PERFORM ALL ELECTRICAL FIELD WIRING.
WARNING: ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS SHALL NOT BE MADE INSIDE THE MRM OR PRM
ENCLOSURE. ROUTE THE LEADS FROM THE MICROSWITCH THROUGH THE
APPROPRIATE KNOCK-OUT TO AN ATTACHED, LISTED ELECTRICAL JUNCTION BOX
(DISTRIBUTOR SUPPLIED).
