AUTOPULSE Z-1 0 Agent Release Control Panel
One-Line System Reference Drawing
Dedicated for Agent Release: AUTOPULSE Z-10 Suppression
Release Panels provide conventional fire alarm control circuits and are
equipped with the features required for a wide variety of single or dual
hazard suppression release applications. Capabilities include automatic
extinguishing agent release, and deluge and preaction sprinkler control.
Flexible I/O Capabilities: Four lDCs allow for either four separately
monitored zones or two cross-zoned connections. Two SPMs allow
dedicated manual inputs for release or abort Two releasing appliance
circuits (RAGs) supervise to the actuator coils and activate the actua-
tors when required. The two NAGS and the three panel auxiliary relays
provide status condition information.
Easy Program Selections: The operator panel has a program mode
that allows selection of panel operation type and detailed operating
selections using an easily selected sequential programming operation
History Log: The last 50 events are stored in non-volatile memory. This
information is accessed by connecting a technicians computer to the
service port which is also used to set the date and time.
Operator Panel: The operator panel has alarm and trouble status
indicating LEDs for each input and output, visible through the locking
cabinet door. Unlocking the door provides access to the Acknowledge,
Alarm Silence, and System Reset push-button switches.
Four Class B lDCs provide coverage for either two cross-zoned areas
or four separately zoned areas. lDCs are capable of supporting up
to 30 current-limited smoke detectors or electronic heat detectors as
well as manual stations and other compatible contact closure initiating
devices. lDCs are capable of Class A operation with an optional adapter
module and can be programmed as Class C (short or open initiates a
trouble) for use with current limited devices only. Single hazard agent
release applications monitor low pressure switches on 1DC3 and tamper
switches with IDC4.
Two Class B Special Purpose Monitoring Circuits (SPMs) are
dedicated for manual release or abort, waterilow and supervisory, or
release/abort and pressure, depending on system type. Inputs are
normally open switches. An abort switch stops release white activated
and upon deactivation, the release operation occurs after a selectable
time delay. Manual release inputs override abort switches and activate
the release after selectable delays of from 0 to 30 seconds in 5 second
increments. For Dual Hazard applications, current limited abort opera-
tion is required. SPMs are programmable as Style C and capable of
Class A operation with the optional adapter module.
Two Class B NACs are provided for reverse polarity, notification appli-
ance operation, each rated 2 A. Class A operation is available with the
optional adapter module. NAC operation is selectable per application-
Two Class B Release Appliance Circuits (RACs): Rated 2 A each,
these circuits are dedicated to operating release control actuators. RAC
cutout timing is selectable as no cutout, 45 seconds, or 1, 3, 3.5, 4, 5, 6,
7, 21 25, 34, 44, or 64 minutes. For bell/horn/strobe single hazard appli
cations, PAC 2 functions as a third NAC (NAC 3).
Auxiliary Power Output: Rated at 750 mA, this output can be wired as
continuous or as resettable. Resettable is normally used to power 4-re
smoke detectors.
Standard Auxiliary Relay Outputs: Three relays outputs are available,
selectable as normally open or normally dosed, rated 2 A @ 30 VDC.
Trouble Relay (Aux Relay 1) is energized when Normal and is de-ener-
gized with a Trouble condition.
For Single Hazard Operation: Aux Relay 2 is the Alarm relay and Aux
Relay 3 indicates Time Delay Started or can optionally be selected as a
Supervisory relay.
For Dual Hazard Operation: Aux Relay 2 is for Hazard Area 1 Alarm,
Aux Relay 3 is for Hazard Area 2 Alarm.
Power Supply and Battery Charger: During alarm, the power supply
provides 3 A at 25.5 VDC, filtered and regulated. The temperature
compensated battery charger provides 27.5 VDC for charging batteries
suitable for up to 90 hour standby and 10 minutes of alarm. External
battery chargers and cabinets can be used for more battery backup.
Automatic Agent Release Systems: These systems automatically acti
vate solenoid control valves for the release of a fire extinguishing agent
in response to lire detection device input.
Automatic Extinguishing Release Systems with Separate Bell
Control (single hazard) (SW rev. 4.01 or higher). RAG 2 operates
as a bell control NAC. When cross-zoned, stage 1 alarm activates the
bell until the release timer starts. When not cross-zoned, stage 1 alarm
activates the bell until expiration of the release timer. In both cross-
zoned and non cross-zoned applications, NAC2 may be programmed to
indicate either a tamper switch supervisory condition or the start of the
release timer using a cadence pattern operation.
UL and FM Extinguishing Release System Panels must have a
minimum of 24 hours of standby power. Initiating devices must be
Listed/Approved for the application, and may be wired either Class A
or B. Actuators must be electrically compatible with the control panel
circuits and power supplies, and are wired Class B to provide coil super-
vision.
Deluge and Preaction Sprinkler Systems automatically activate water
control valves in response to fire detection device input.
Deluge Sprinkler Systems employ open sprinkler heads and provide
water flow when the fire detection system activates a common auto-
matic water control valve. They are used to deliver water simultaneously
through all of the open sprinkler heads. This type of system is applicable
where the immediate application of large quantities of water over large
areas is the proper fire response.
Preaction Sprinkler Systems are similar to deluge systems except that
normally closed sprinkler heads are used and supervisory air pressure
is maintained in the pipe. Operation requires both an activated sprinkler
head and an activated fire alarm initiating device.
Combined Agent Release and Preaction Systems provides agent
release and preaction control. (Available with software revision 4.01
or higher.) For applications where agent release may not be sufficient
for fire control, sprinklers are put in preaction mode to allow waterllow
to continue the fire response. (Preaction is assumed, selected deluge
could be provided, determined by the sprinkler installation, panel opera
lion is the same.)
UL requirements for Fire .AJami Systems Listed for Automatic Release
or Deluge and Preaction Sprinkler Systems are the same as described
previously for Automatic Extinguishing Release Systems.
FM Approved requirements for Fire Alarm Systems for Automatic
Release of Deluge and Preaction Sprinkler Systems require operation
of specific compatible FM Approved Automatic Water Control Valves, a
minimum secondary power capacity of 90 hours, and all circuits for the
automatic release initiating devices must be capable of operation during
a single open circuit fault condition (Class A)-

Auxiliary Relay Module (Part No. 430529). Four relays per module
are available as required. Dual hazard applications will require two
modules for auxiliary relay operation. Each relay module has a manual
disconnect switch that controls relays 2 through 4 (Trouble Relay is
not controlled). Relay outputs are required to be connected to 15 A
maximum circuit breaker.
Operation is per the following actions:
Relay 1 activates on any trouble associated with its hazard
Relay 2 activates on any alarm associated with its hazard
Relay 3 activates for pressure switch as required per application or
actuates with second zone for cross-zoned systems (hazard specific)
Relay 4 activates when the hazard specific RAC activates
Dual Circuit Class A Adapter Module (Part No. 430531). This module
converts two Class B circuits to Class A operation. It consumes no addi-
tional current and is compatible with lDCs, SPMs, and NACs. Up to tour
modules may be mounted within the AUTOPULSE Z-10 cabinet.
Maintenance Switch. Proper service of re-le- liancecircuits
requires the ability to securely disconnect the relee circuit during
installation and maintenance- Maintenance switches are conto'4ed
by keyswitch and initiate a supervisory condition when in disconecU
disable position. Models with lamp are on a double-gang plate and are
powered from separate 24 VDC wiring. Mounting is on stainles steel
plates and models are available as either surface or flush mounta
drawing below).
Maintenance switches, one per RAC, are required per NFPA 72, the
National Fire Alarm Code, to allow the system to be tested or serviced
without actuating the fire suppression systems. Their use may not be
allowed in some jurisdictions; always confirm local requirements. When
used, maintenance switches are required to ensure that operation initi-
ates a supervisory condition.

3MTm NOVEC'TM 1230 FIRE PROTECTION FLUID . ...
General information -
3M ,m NovecTM 1230 Fire Protection Fluid has been developed as
an alternative to Halon 1301, production of which has ceased at
the end of 1993, under the agreed adjustments made to the
Montreal Protocol in Nov. 1992.
Novec 1230 contains no Bromine or Chlorine and has no ozone
depleting potential.
Novec 1230 systems utilize one or more storage containers
arranged to provide the protected area with a pre-determined
quantity of agent.
Novec 1230 storage container are designed to hold Novec 1230 in
liquid form. Nitrogen is used to super-pressurize the container to
360 psi (24.8 bar) at 70 OF (21 °C).
Handling and installation of Novec 1230 equipment should only be
conducted by persons trained in dealing with this type of equip-
ment.
Under normal conditions Novec 1230 is a colorless and low odor
fluid with a density around 11 times greater than air. It has negligi-
ble vapor pressure and is super-pressurized with nitrogen to 360
psi (24.8 bar) when used in fire suppression applications.
It contains no particulates or oily residues and is produced under
ISO 9001 guidelines to strict manufacturing specifications ensur-
ing product purity.
Present understanding of Novec 1230 is that fire suppression is
through heat absorption and chemical means.
Novec 1230 decomposes at temperatures in excess of 932 "F
(500"C) and it is therefore important to avoid applications involv-
ing hazards where continuously hot surfaces are involved. Upon
exposure to the flame, Novec 1230 will decompose to form halo-
gen acids. Their presence will be readily detected by a sharp, pun-
gent odor before maximum hazardous exposure levels are
reached.
Storage and Handling Recommendations
The unique properties of Novec 1230 fluid necessitate the user to
follow certain handling and storage guidelines. Failure to follow
these recommendations may result in contamination of the agent
and potential failure of the system in which it is used. Contact with
water or solvents either polar or hydrocarbon could render Novec
1230 fluid ineffective. Novec 1230 fluid should not be mixed with
other extinguishing agents (liquid, powder, or foam) without con-
sulting ANSUL to determine compatibility.
Novec 1230 fluid should be stored indoors, out of direct sunlight at
temperatures below 104 OF (40 "C). If container must be stored
outdoors, confirm that all openings are fully closed. Protect con-
tainer from direct sunlight and precipitation to every extent possi-
ble, and fully dry the exterior of the container prior to opening.
Based on the results of accelerated aging studies, Novec 1230
fluid is expected to have a shelf life and perform as a clean agent
for at least 30 years in a properly designed, maintained, and oper-
ating fire suppression system, provided the agent has been stored
and handled in accordance with the information provided in this
manual.
Novec 1230 fluid is a liquid at room temperature allowing it to be
transferred using conventional pumping or pouring methods.
Novec 1230 fluid has a viscosity similar to water. Consequently, it
can be transferred using any pump that would be used to transport
a low viscosity, nonflammable liquid. A gravity feed method may
also be used to fill the system tanks, in lieu of pumping. If using a
pump, it is recommended that an inline filter (equal to or less than
20 microns) be used when filling container.
'Standards used by the fire protec iT1fustry typically spity that
clean agents meet certain standards of quality.-in order o main-
tain the low water content of the original Novec 1230 fluid, proce-
dures must be used to prevent the entry of moist, ambient air into
the storage containers. When transferring fluid, the receiving con-
tainers should be free of water and purged with dry nitrogen prior
to filling with Novec 1230 fluid to remove moisture-laden air. The
end of the fluid dispensing pipe must extend into the receiving
container. The dispensing container should be fitted with a vent
drier or nitrogen purge to prevent the influx of moist air as Novec
1230 fluid is withdrawn. Vent driers employing disposable or refill-
able desiccant cartridges are available from vendors such as W.A.
Hammond Drierite Co. Ltd. Alternatively, a nitrogen purge can be
set up by installing a lee" onto the vent bung of the dispensing
container and establishing flow of dry nitrogen at a volumetric flow
rate that is in excess of the rate of withdrawal of Novec 1230 fluid
from the container.
Good industrial hygiene practices should be followed when han-
dling Novec 1230 fluid. Novec 1230 fluid must be used in a well-
ventilated area. Provide local exhaust ventilation at transfer points.
If adequate ventilation cannot be accomplished to maintain air
concentrations below the recommended exposure guideline, use
respiratory protection. The use of vented goggles for eye protec-
tion is required when handling Novec 1230 fluid. Always wear
gloves when handling Novec 1230 fluid. Gloves made from butyl
rubber are recommended. For more specific information regarding
the use of Novec 1230 fluid, refer to the Material Safety Data
Sheet.
Disposal Recommendations
Novec 1230 fluid may be disposed using an approved industrial or
commercial incinerator. Since Novec 1230 fluid is nonflammable,
it must be burned in the presence of a combustible material. Refer
to the Material Safety Data Sheet, section 13, for additional
details.
Health and Safety
A proper designed and installed suppression system should not
present any significant health or safety problems. However, there
are basic precautions to be taken to avoid accidents, and aspects
of the system operation that should be understood.
Reference should be made to NFPA 2001 for the toxic and
asphyxiating hazards of clean agent replacement for 1-lalon 1301.
Novec 1230 agent has acceptable toxicity for use in occupied
spaces when used as specified in the United States
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed Significant New
Alternative Policy (SNAP) program rules and NFPA 2001, "Clean
Agent Fire Extinguishing Systems:'
Novec 1230 agent extinguishes by causing a chemical reaction
with the combustion products, and does not remove oxygen like
CO2 and some other inert agents.
Therefore, exposure to Novec 1230 at the design concentration of
up to 10.0% is not a hazard to health. Exposure to higher concen-
trations is permissible for limited periods. Refer to NFPA 2002 for
exposure requirements. As with halons, the EPA and the National
Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommend that unnecessary
exposure to any agent be avoided and that personnel evacuate
protected areas as quickly as possible to avoid the decomposition
products of the fire.
Novec 1230 can decompose at high temperatures to form acids. If
so, their presence is readily detected as a sharp, pungent odor
long before hazardous maximum exposure levels are reached.

3Mm NOVECTh' 1230 FIRE PROTEcTION FLUID (Continued)
Health and Safety (Continuedr
The noise created by the Novec 1230 agent discharging can be
loud enough to startle people in the vicinity, but is unlikely to cause
any permanent injury. Turbulence caused by the high velocity dis-
charge can dislodge substantial objects directly in its path, and
cause general turbulence within the protected area to move paper
and light objects.
Direct contact with the vaporizing liquid discharged from a Novec
1230 nozzle has a chilling effect on objects and in extreme cases
can cause frostbite to the skin. The liquid phase vaporizes rapidly
when mixed with air and therefore limits the risk to the immediate
vicinity of the nozzle. Reduction in visibility Will occur duo to the
condensation of water vapor.
The discharge of clean agent systems to extinguish a fire can
result in a potential hazard to personnel from the natural form
of the clean agent or from the products of combustion that
result from exposure of the agent to the fire or hot surfaces.
Unnecessary exposure of personnel either to the products of
decomposition shalt be avoided.
DESCRIPTION OF SAPPHIRE SYSTEMS
SAPPHIRE systems are designed to suppress fires in Class A, B
(minimum Class B design concentration is 5.85%; contact ANSUL
for all Class B applications), and C hazards.
Novec 1230 suppress fires by a combination of physical and
chemical means. It does not significantly deplete the oxygen con-
tent in the room and tests have shown it to be less toxic than Halon
1301.
A system comprises one or more containers connected to a sys-
tem of piping and nozzles. Novec 1230 Is liquid under pressure
and is stored in steel containers, each of which is fitted with a valve
specially designed to allow the contents of the container to dis-
charge within 10 seconds. When the valve opens, Novec 1230
flows into the distribution piping to the discharge nozzles where it
is rapidly dispersed as a vapor.
Discharged Novec 1230 gives the appearance of a fog which may
reduce visibility. This normally clears rapidly and should not
obstruct the ability of personnel to safely exit the protected area.
SAPPHIRE Fire Suppression Systems are particularly valuable in
extinguishing fires in enclosures containing hazards or equipment
where a clean, electrically non-conductive medium is essential or
where the cleaning up of foam, water or dry chemical would be a
problem.
APPROVALS
The SAPPHIRE Fire Suppression System has been tested and
listed by Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. (EX-4510) and
Underwriters Laboratories of Canada (CEXI 151) as a pre-engi-
neered system for Class A, B, and C fire suppression, at temper-
atures between 32 °F to 130 °F (0 °C to 55 CC).

3M' NOVEC'TM 1230 FIRE PROTECTION FLUID
Novec 1230 fluid has been developed as a halon replacement
alternative to HFCs, HCFGs, and PFCs in special hazard, high
value applications. It has unique qualities that provide the right bal-
ance of fire extinguishing performance, end use safety, and envi-

REMOVABLE ELECTRIC ACTUATOR
The 24 VDC electric actuator is required to electrically actuate the
tank valve. An electric signal is received from the AUTOPULSE
Control Panel which operates the solenoid in the actuator. This
causes the actuator to open the tank valve and discharge the
agent. On multiple tank systems, only one electric actuator is
required, on the master tank valve. The remaining tanks will be
actuated pneumatically through 1/4 in. stainless steel hose
installed between each pilot pressure port.
. Actuator current draw is 0.25A.

REV. I
This manual has been prepared to give an understanding'Fn the
application, and design of SAPPHIRE systems. Systems are suit-
able only fir the total flooding of class A and Class C hazard
enclosures.
The SAPPHIRE system is specifically pre-engineered in accor-
dance with the equipment description, hazard type, size, piping
limitations, nozzle type, installation, operation, recharge, and
maintenance instructions prescribed. All systems must be applied
entirely in accordance with the guidelines described in the manual.
GENERAL INFORMATION
SAPPHIRE systems are approved for hazard and storage tem-
peratures from 32 OF to 130 OF (0 °C to 55 °C)
Maximum single nozzle area coverage is 1800 sq ft (167.2 sq m)
HAZARD ANALYSIS
Prior to starting with the design of SAPPHIRE systems, the
designer should have, as a minimum, the blowing details:
Enclosure dimensions.
Specific details of the hazard, such as chemicals, excessive lire
load, etc
The minimum and maximum temperatures of the hazard enclo-
sure.
Height of hazard above (or below) sea level.
Confirmation that the hazard integrity is adequate
- Details of the ventilation system. Note: Ventilation system
must be shut down prior to agent discharge.
Intended occupancy of the hazard enclosure.
Tank mounting location. Agent tanks should be located in areas
with suitable ventilation, be protected from fire, not subject to
weather, mechanical damage, or corrosion and where they can
be easily accessed for maintenance. Floor loading should also
be taken into account.
Novec 1230 is suitable for the protection of hazards involving
Class A, Class 8 and Class C materials. Fires must be detected
quickly and the agent discharged promptly and the concentration
is maintained for an adequate period of time to allow embers to
cool, surface fires and embers associated with the burning of solid
materials are quickly extinguished. Novec 1230 is suitable for use
on fires involving live electrical equipment but is not effective on,
and should not be used to fight fires involving:
Chemicals containing their own supply of oxygen, such as cel-
lulose nitrate.
Mixtures containing oxidizing agents, such as sodium chlorate
or sodium nitrate.
Chemicals capable of undergoing autothermal decomposition
such as some organic peroxides.
Reactive metals.
Solid materials in which fires quickly become deep seated.
Enclosures already protected by a gaseous system utilizing a
different agent.
PIPING AND NOZZLE DESIGN REQUfREMEMS
Pipe size for 40 lb ('18 kg) tank is 1 in.
Pipe size for 80 lb (36 kg) tank is 1 1/4 in.
Maximum length of 1 in. pipe (including the flex discharge hose)

Maximum length of 1114 in. pipe (including the flex discharge
hose) for 80 lb (36 kg) tank is 36 ft 2 in. (11 m).
In addition to above listed pipe lengths, a maximum of 3 - 90
elbows are allowed. Tee at nozzle (dirt trap assembly) counts as
one of the 3 allowed elbows.
Maximum net vertical rise from the bottom of the tank to the tip
of the nozzle is 14 ft (4.3 m).
Only one nozzle allowed per tank.
1 in. nozzle for 40 lb (18 kg) tank and 1 1/4 nozzle from 80 lb
(36 kg) tank.
Maximum nozzle area coverage is 1800 sq ft (167.2 sq m).
Nozzle must be located as close to the center of the protected
area as possible.
Nozzle must be located a maximum of 12 in. (30.5 cm) below the
hazard ceiling.
Minimum hazard height is 12 in. (30.5 cm).
PRE-ENGINEERED SYSTEM DESIGN REQUIREMENTS
Total Flooding is the only application method approved for
SAPPHIRE Fire Suppression Systems.
After completing the Hazard Analysis, determine the system
design requirements by completing the following steps:
Step No. 1 -. Determine net hazard volume
The first step in designing a SAPPHIRE Fire Suppression System
is to calculate the net volume of the area being protected. Multiply
the length x the width to determine the area, and then multiply the
area x the height to determine the volume. If the area is an odd
shape, the designer may need to divide it into regular shapes that
will allow volume calculations, and then total all the volumes
together to determine the actual volume of that area.
Example; Hazard size is 12 It x 13 It x 10 ft high. Total volume
1560 cu ft
Metric: 366 m x 3.96 m x 3.05 m high. Total volume = 4.2 Cu m
The second part of this step allows the hazard volume to be
reduced by the volume of any impermeable, non-removable
objects. Determine the volume of these type objects and subtract
this volume from the hazard volume. This will determine the haz-
ard net volume.
Example: There Is a support column near a wall in the hazard
which measures 1 It x I ftby 10 ft high (0.3 m 0.3 m 3,1 m).
The volume of this impermeable, non-removable object is 10 Cu ft
(0.28 Cu m). Subtracting 10 cu It (0.28 cu m) from the total hazard
volume of 1560 cu ft (44.2 Cu m) equals 1550 Cu ft (43.9 Cu m).
1550 cu It (43.9 cu m) is the hazard net volume.

PRE-ENGINEERED SYSTEM DESIGN REQUIREMENTS
(Continued)
Step No.2 - Determine quantity of agent required
Two calculations are required to determine the quantity of agent:
The first calculation will determine the amount needed for the haz-
ard volume. The second calculation will require multiplying the
amount required for the hazard volume, by a factor based on ele-
vation, to determine the final quantity of agent required.
Calculation No. 1
Refer to AGENT QUANTITY CHART to determine the amount of
agent required for the protected hazard. Referring to the
"Maximum Cubic Feet Of Volume" column, find the hazard volume
size. If the exact volume is not listed on the chart, pick the next
closest larger volume.
Example: Follow down the maximum volume column until you find
1550 cu ft (43.9 cu m). As you will note, the exact number 1550 cu
ft (43.9 cu m) is not listed. Pick the closest larger number, which
is 1551 cu 11(43.9 cu m).
Read across to the left of the chart to determine the amount of
agent required.
Example: From the 1551 cu It (43.9 Gum) position, reading across
the chart to the left, it is determined that 69 lb (31.3 kg) of Novec
1230 agent Is required to protected this hazard net volume.

Calculation No. 2
The agent quantity calculated above will either require increasing
or decreasing depending on the altitude of the hazard above or
below sea level.
Refer 10 the Altitude Correction Factors Chart below. Determine
the elevation of the hazard. Find that elevation on the chart, or the
closest one to it. Select the correction factor from the chart for that
elevation. Multiply the amount of agent, determined in Calculation
No. 1, by the correction factor. This will determine the final agent
quantity required.
Example: From calculation No. 1, it was determined the hazard
required 69 lb (31.3 kg) of agent. The hazard is located at 2000 ft
(610 m) above sea level. Referring to the Altitude Correction
Factor Chart, at that elevation, the correction factor is 0.93.
Multiply 69 lb (31.3 kg) X 0.93 = 64.7/b 29.4 kg). Therefore, 65 lb
(29.5 kg) of agent Is required for this hazard.

Step No. 3- Determine Nozzle and Tank Location(s)
The discharge nozzle must be located as close to the center of the
hazard area as possible. To determine nozzle and tank locations,
refer to "General Information" in the Installation Section for details
on maximum pipe lengths, maximum number of elbows, maximum
vertical rise of piping, etc.
If the hazard design required several tanks, tanks sizes can vary,
as long as the volume of protection for each tank does not exceed
the maximum volumes listed in the "AGENT QUANTITY CHART'
If multiple tanks are required, each nozzle must be centered with-
in the designed area of coverage.
Example: It has been determined that a hazard, with a net volume
of 3596 Cu It (101.8 cu m), requires 160 lb (72.6 kg) of agent, after
the elevation factor has been calculated in, The hazard can be
divided into modules, each not exceeding the maximum volume
allowed per quantity of agent. After each module has been select-
ed, the nozzle protecting individual areas, must be centered with-
in that area. See Figure 1.

All installations are to be performed in accordance with the para-
meters of this manual and all appropriate codes and standards
from the local, state, and federal authority having jurisdiction.
Before the SAPPHIRE fire suppression system is installed, the
qualified installer should have developed a sketch in order to
locate the equipment, to determine an actuation and distribution
piping routing (refer to Piping/Nozzle Design and Actuation
Requirements, located in SECTION V - DESIGN, for both actua-
tion and distribution piping for limitations).
For successful system performance, the SAPPHIRE system com-
ponents must be located within their approved temperature
ranges. The system components and the hazard area must be
within a temperature range between 32 IF to 120 IF (0 °C to
49 °C).
MOUNTING TANK AND BRACKET ASSEMBLY
Do not remove the outlet safety shipping cap until tank is
securely mounted in the bracket. Failure to comply could result
in personal injury or death from violent tank movement or over-
exposure to high concentrations of Novec 1230 agent.

Inspection is a "quick check" that a system is operable. It is intend-
ed to give reasonable assurance that the system is fully charged
and will operate. This is done by seeing that the system has not
been tampered with and there is no obvious physical damage, or
condition, to prevent operation. The value of an inspection lies in
the frequency, and thoroughness, with which it is conducted.
Systems should be inspected at regular monthly intervals, or at
more frequent intervals when circumstances require.
The following visual checks should be performed during a
SAPPHIRE system inspection:
Visually inspect the hazard area to verify that it has not changed.
Look for different fuels, new equipment, blocked open doors or
dampers.
Check detectors to make certain they are in place, not damaged
or coated with dirt, grease, paint, or any contaminating sub-
stance.
Check all manual pull Stations to assure they have not been tam-
pered with and are not blocked from use.
Check all alarm devices for damage, dirt, corrosion, etc.
* Check that the piping is secure and nozzles are in place. Make
certain the nozzles are not covered with dirt, grease, or paint
and that there is nothing structural blocking the discharge.
Visually inspect all components for signs of damage, such as
disconnected or loose parts, corrosion, twisted or dented com-
ponents, etc.
Check each SAPPHIRE tank gauge to determine that tank pres-
sure is in the operable range.
Visually verify that the control panel and/or releasing device is
functioning properly.
Perform any other checks that may be required by the authority
having jurisdiction.
Record that the system has been inspected and inform the prop-
er personnel.

ping cap on cartridge.
Annual Maintenance Examination
Systems shall be maintained at regular intervals, not more than
one year apart, or when specifically indicated by an inspection.
Maintenance is a "thorough check" of the system. It is intended to
give maximum assurance that a system will operate effectively
and safely. It includes a thorough examination and any necessary
repair, recharge, or replacement. It will reveal if there is a need for
hydrostatic testing of the tank. The procedures listed in this section
are the minimum that are necessary to maintain a system. If cir-
cumstances warrant them, a more thorough procedure should be
followed to assure system performance. Make certain that all peo-
ple affected by the maintenance are informed before you start.
This may include the owner, security personnel, the local Fire
Department, and possibly local workers that may be affected by
equipment shutdown or start up.
Survey the hazard to make certain it has not changed from
what the system was designed to protect. While surveying the
hazard, look for different fuels, loss of hazard integrity, new
hazards, etc.
Check all nozzles to make certain they are in place. Check the
condition of the nozzle for corrosion or damage and make cer-
tain it is not obstructed internally or externally.
Check the condition of the piping to make certain that it is
properly secured in the hangers and that all fittings are con-
nected tightly.
Check all warning nameplates (signs) throughout the area.
Make certain they are in place, mounted securely, readable,
and are not damaged.
Check all tank bracketing. Make certain all tanks are secured
in the brackets. Check for corrosion, damage, or missing com-
ponents,
Check the condition of all tanks. Look for signs of damage or
corrosion, and check the tank's last hydra date. (NFPA 2001
states "Cylinders continuously in service without discharging
shall be given a complete external visual inspection every five
years or more frequently if required. The visual inspection
shall be in accordance with Compressed Gas Association
Pamphlet C-6, Section 3; except that the cylinders need not be
emptied or stamped while under pressure?') Refer to NFPA

RECHARGING (Continued)
5. Recharging Instructions:
See Figure 2 for a typical recharge station configuration.
Install a drier (such as a Hammond DRIERITE filler) in a
threaded port on the Novec 1230 agent container. A drier
is required because humid air may cause the agent to con-
vert to an acid.
The outlet of the container requires an inline (20 micron or
smaller) filter.
The agent can either be pumped or gravity fed to the tank.
Tank must be visually inspected and clean inside. IMPOR-
TANT - no moisture is allowed in the tank. It must be
completely dried. Water mixed with agent will cause
acid.
I. Rebuild valve. See Valve Rebuild Instructions," Step 4.
Reinstall valve and siphon tube assembly into tank. Tighten
securely.
Purge tank by pressurizing through a Fill Adaptor
Assembly, Part No. 570576, to 100 psi (6.9 bar) with dry
nitrogen, then vent pressure. This process will remove
humid air from the tank.
Fill tank with correct amount of agent by weight. See name-
plate for this information.
Set regulator to 20 psi (1.4 bar) lower than the required
tank pressure based on ambient temperature. Refer to
pressure vs. temperature chart in this section. Pressurize
tank. Forcefully agitate tank while pressurizing.
After correct pressure is reached, close valve near tank
valve outlet.
I. Close tank valve by using Top Adaptor Assembly, Part No.
570579, as follows. Set regulator to 450 psi (31.0 bar).
Pressure Top Adaptor Assembly. Open and close the valve
rapidly to prevent over-pressurizing of tank.
Vent pressure from tank valve outlet.
Remove Fill Adaptor Assembly and install recoil cap on
valve outlet.

Add more nitrogen through the Top Adaptor Assembly.
Using the pressure vs. temperature chart at ambient tem-
perature, set the regulated pressure at the corresponding
pressure plus 8 psi (0.6 bar). It takes 8 psi (0.6 bar) to over-
come the spring force in the valve core. Note: Do not use
gauge on valve to determine recharge pressure.
Repeat Steps o" and q" until the agent has fully absorbed
the nitrogen.
Let tank assembly Sit for 3 hours.
Check the tank valve for leaks by using soap and water
solution.
I. Check tank gauge pressure based on pressure vs. tem-
