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.

5. High pressure nitrogen tubing (P/N 87-120045-00X) may be used in place of copper tubing, not to exceed a maximum length of 30 feet (9 m).
6. In every system, either single cylinder or multiple cylinder, a 1/8-inch NPT plug or vent check (P/N WK-877810-
000) shall be used in the outlet port of the last System Valve Actuator(s) in the actuation line.
7. A maximum of 2 Pressure Switches (P/N 486536) may be used in the actuation line.
SYSTEM NITROGEN CARTRIDGE, P/N 87-120043-001
The XV Control System uses a nitrogen cartridge for actuating the system cylinders and is charged with dry nitrogen
(see Figure 2). The cartridge is mounted inside the XV Control System to protect it from tampering and provides the
date of manufacturing and space (gray band) for recording the installation date.
Figure 2. System Nitrogen Cartridge,
P/N 87-120043-001
TEST CARTRIDGE, P/N 87-120044-001
The Test Cartridge is used for functional testing of the Kidde WHDR Wet Chemical System and IND Dry Chemical
System*. The cartridge has a red band and is labeled “TEST CARTRIDGE” as shown in Figure 3.
*Note: The System Nitrogen Cartridge P/N 87-120043-001 is required for actuation and full discharge or "puff" tests,
and when a time delay is included (as in systems protecting Vehicle Spray Booths).

A System Valve Actuator (SVA) must be mounted to every system cylinder valve assembly (see Figure 4). The SVA
has ports for low profile tubing runs, and is also equipped with a spring loaded plunger that locks the piston in the
discharged position, ensuring complete discharge of the cylinder(s) contents.

HIGH-PRESSURE NITROGEN TUBING, P/N 87-120045-00X
The High-Pressure Nitrogen Tubing is used to connect the XV Control System to the SVA on all installations in which
the XV Control System is mounted to a wet or dry chemical cylinder. (see Figure 5). A 1/8-inch NPT (male) x 3/8-24 JIC
Adapter is included with the High Pressure Nitrogen Tubing.

An optional solenoid can be installed into the XV Control
System, just under the actuation latch. The solenoid
operates directly on the actuation latch to activate the
system. This installation allows simultaneous usage of
mechanical detection lines, or the lines can be locked
out. The solenoid includes two mounting bolts, the
bracket and a push plate which mounts onto the solenoid
body (Figure 6). The solenoid coil is 24 Vdc at 1.5 Amp
and at 70°F (21°C). Refer to Figure 7 for Release Wiring with
Terminal Type Microswitch.
When actuating the XV Control System with an optional
solenoid, a UL Compatible and Listed fire control panel
with a supervised power supply is required, such as the
Kidde AEGIS or Kidde ARIES.

Figure 7. Release Wiring with Terminal Type Microswitch
Note: Where electric detection and/or actuation is pro-
vided, supervision shall be provided in accordance with NFPA 72, National Fire Alarm and
Signaling Code. Alarms and indicators, along
with a supervised power source, shall be provided in accordance with NFPA 72. Electrical wiring and equipment shall be provided in
accordance with NFPA 70, National Electric
Code. All installations are subject to the approval
of the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).
KEEPER PIN, P/N 60-9197108-000
The Keeper Pin (P/N 60-9197108-000) is used to prevent
actuation while installing the system.
