DESCRIPTION
The Explosion Proof Control Head is designed to operate
FM-200
valves, stop valves and directional valves. The Explosion
Proof Control Head can be operated electronically from
the Detection and Control system, or by local manual
operation via an affixed manual control head. The Explosion Proof Control Head has a continuous current draw,
which must be accommodated for at the Control Panel.
The actuating pin latches in the released position and
must be mechanically reset prior to re-arming the system.
A suitable Control Panel, Listed and/or Approved for use
with the Explosion Proof Control Head, shall be provided
for supervision of the releasing circuit per NFPA requirements.

INSTALLATION
The Explosion Proof Control Head can be mounted
directly on either the cylinder valve, stop/directional
valve.
Care should be taken to ensure that
the actuating pin is in the set position
when attaching the control head to the
cylinder or the stop/directional valve.
WARNING
Tighten the swivel nut securely in place.
Accidental system discharge could
occur, which could cause property
damage, personal injury and/or death.

When installing the Explosion Proof Control Head in hazardous locations, wiring connections must be terminated
in explosion proof junction boxes.
The lead wires must be connected using the indicated
polarity (red to positive, black to negative) in order to
obtain correct operation.
MAINTENANCE
Regular scheduled maintenance should be performed on
the Explosion Proof Control Head to ensure that the unit
operates correctly if and when required.
MONTHLY
The Explosion Proof Control Head should be inspected
for any signs of physical damage, deterioration, corrosion, distortion, cracks, dirt ingress and loose couplings.
Tighten any loose couplings. Replace damaged or missing caps. Replace control head if damage is found.
Ensure that all explosion proof control heads are in the
“set” position.
SEMI-ANNUALLY
The Explosion Proof Control Head should be tested for
proper operation.
All Explosion Proof Control Heads
should be removed from agent cylinders (Carbon Dioxide, FM-200 or FE-
WARNING
Remove control heads from all master cylinders within
the hazard area being tested. Let the Explosion Proof
Control Head hang freely from the flexible electrical conduit connections. Operate the Explosion Proof Control
Head, either by actuation at the system control panel or
via manual operation of an electric pull station. Ensure
that the control head has operated. Observe that the
actuating pin has moved to the fully released position. If
any control heads have not operated, check circuit for
electric continuity. Replace all damaged control heads.
Repeat operation test if any control heads have been
replaced. Replace any damaged control head, which fails
to reset properly. Make certain that electric control heads
are in the set position before reconnecting to agent cylinders. Reattach all control heads to threaded ports on cylinder valves and tighten swivel nuts securely.

damage, personal injury and/or death.
