DETECTION NETWORK LIMITATIONS: MRM -
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 in the center of the duct, either at 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.

• MECHANICAL GAS VALVE APPLICATIONS
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
1 l
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 ,
MOSFE, a. I NO 4H0
in this manual supplied by other manufacturers.
See Section 3 "System Components" for all mechanical gas valves that Li
are suitable for use with the Amerex Restaurant Fire Suppression '
System. The use of any other mechanical gas valves will avoid the UL NEI
listing for the system installation. All of the listed valves have female NPT I threads. The location of the gas valve should be accessible and approved
I —
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.

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 KP 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 microswitch 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 !;
Power to the electric gas valve is run through the normally closed contact on a microswitch located in the
pneumatic release module (PRM) or mechanical release module (MRM) 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 microswitch 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 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 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.

inches (254 cm) or less or a diameter of 32 inches (94.4 cm) or less. The nozzles total three flow points and
to properly position the nozzles, a rectangular duct should be divided along its longest side into four equal
distances. A circular duct should be divided along its center line into four equal distances. The nozzles are to
be placed at one quarter and three quarters position of the duct width (or diameter) with both nozzles on the
center line, placed 2 - 8 inches (5.08 — 20.3 cm) into the duct opening and aimed straight up in a vertically run
duct. Additional duct protection is not required when using this method.
NOTE: In no case can the diagonal dimension of the duct exceed 37.2 inches (94.4 cm)
without adding additional duct nozzles.

Amerex KP Wet Chemical System (EX 4658)
DETECTION NETWORK LIMITATIONS: MRM
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 in the center of the duct, either at 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. "` ` /

FUSIBLE LINK SELECTION
To assure that the appropriate temperature is selected, the temperature sensing device must be used at each
detector location while the cooking line and exhaust fan is operating. Temperatures found at each detector
should be recorded and placed with other documentation in the job file for future reference. Selection of
fusible links should be made according to the temperature measured:

Select a suitable location for the pneumatic release module (PRM) that has access for installation, service,
recharge and where both the nitrogen actuation cylinder pressure gauge and the system status indicator can
be viewed. The PRM has provisions for a single, continuous section of detection tubing. No splicing or
"tee's" are allowed. There shall be only two tubing terminations — one at the accumulator cylinder inside the
PRM and the other at the opposite end of the tubing, with the use of an End of Line fitting (P /N 16506). Install
in areas where the maximum expected ambient temperature does not exceed 375 °F.

MANUAL PULL STATION NETWORK LIMITATIONS
Every Amerex KP Restaurant Fire Suppression System installation must have at least one manual pull
station. The manual pull station network consists of cable, corner pulleys, pulley tee, manual pull station(s)
and optional conduit offset.

MECHANICAL GAS VALVE APPLICATIONS
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

ELECTRIC GAS VALVE OPERATION
Power to the electric gas valve is run through the normally closed contact on a microswitch located in the
pneumatic release module (PRM) or mechanical release module (MRM) 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 microswitch 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 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 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.

__ Yellow N.O. Non Alarm
Black N.C. Condition
•
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. A 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 AN ATTACHED, LISTED ELECTRICAL JUNCTION BOX
(DISTRIBUTOR SUPPLIED).
