• Two Discrete Mechanical Detection Lines

• Cylinder or Wall Mount

• Up to 400 ft. Mechanical Detection Cable

DESCRIPTION

The Kidde XV Control System is a compact, versatile unit
used to actuate agent cylinders on Kidde WHDR and IND
Pre-Engineered fire suppression systems. The control
head can be operated via:

• Two Distinct Automatic Mechanical Detection Lines
(fusible links or thermo-bulb links)

• Optional Electrical Solenoid

• Remote or Local Manual Mechanical Control

Upon actuation, the XV Control System discharges the
nitrogen System Cartridge, pressurizing the actuation
lines and System Valve Actuators (SVA) mounted on the
cylinder valve(s). The SVA(s) open the cylinder valve(s),

NOTES

1. Braided high pressure nitrogen tubing (P/N 87-120045-00X), is required to connect the XV Control System to the
System Valve Actuator (SVA) when the XV Control System is cylinder mounted.

2. Copper tubing shall be 1/4-inch O.D. x 0.031-inch wall high pressure tubing.

3. When Control System is cylinder mounted and two or more cylinders are being actuated, a minimum of 5 ft.
(1.52 m) of 1/4-inch O.D. x 0.031-inch wall tubing shall be used for actuation lines.
