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),

discharging the WHDR wet chemical or IND dry chemical suppression agent. The XV can be mounted on a wall or directly to an SVA mounted on the cylinder.

The XV Control System is UL and ULC Listed with WHDR Wet Chemical and IND Dry Chemical Fire Suppression Systems. The XV is FM approved with the IND Dry Chemical Systems.

The XV comes ready to install, with three EMT connectors, one System Valve Actuator (SVA), two microswitches, one nitrogen System Cartridge, and one nitrogen test cartridge.

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.
