PERFORMED ONLY BY QUALIFIED INDIVIDUALS.
The engine exhaust from this product contains
chemicals known to the State of California to cause
cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
The Above For Gasoline Engines
FOR ENGINE
powered equipment.
1.a. Turn the engine off before troubleshooting and maintenance
work unless the maintenance work requires it to be running.
1.c. Do not add the fuel near an open flame welding arc or when the engine is running. Stop
the engine and allow it to cool before refueling to prevent spilled fuel from vaporizing on
contact with hot engine parts and igniting. Do
not spill fuel when filling tank. If fuel is spilled,
wipe it up and do not start engine until fumes
have been eliminated.
1.d. Keep all equipment safety guards, covers and devices in position and in good repair.Keep hands, hair, clothing and tools
away from V-belts, gears, fans and all other moving parts
when starting, operating or repairing equipment.
1.e. In some cases it may be necessary to remove safety
guards to perform required maintenance. Remove
guards only when necessary and replace them when the
maintenance requiring their removal is complete.
Always use the greatest care when working near moving
parts.
1.f. Do not put your hands near the engine fan.
Do not attempt to override the governor or
idler by pushing on the throttle control rods
while the engine is running.
1.h. To avoid scalding, do not remove the
radiator pressure cap when the engine is
hot.
ELECTRIC AND
MAGNETIC FIELDS
may be dangerous
2.a. Electric current flowing through any conductor causes
localized Electric and Magnetic Fields (EMF). Welding
current creates EMF fields around welding cables and
welding machines
2.b. EMF fields may interfere with some pacemakers, and
welders having a pacemaker should consult their physician
before welding.
2.c. Exposure to EMF fields in welding may have other health
effects which are now not known.
2.d. All welders should use the following procedures in order to
minimize exposure to EMF fields from the welding circuit:
2.d.1.
Route the electrode and work cables together - Secure
them with tape when possible.
2.d.2. Never coil the electrode lead around your body.
2.d.3. Do not place your body between the electrode and
work cables. If the electrode cable is on your right
side, the work cable should also be on your right side.
1.g. To prevent accidentally starting gasoline engines while
turning the engine or welding generator during maintenance
work, disconnect the spark plug wires, distributor cap or
magneto wire as appropriate.
2.d.4. Connect the work cable to the workpiece as close as
possible to the area being welded.
2.d.5. Do not work next to welding power source.

ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
3.a. The electrode and work (or ground) circuits
are electrically “hot” when the welder is on.
Do not touch these “hot” parts with your bare
skin or wet clothing. Wear dry, hole-free
gloves to insulate hands.
3.b. Insulate yourself from work and ground using dry insulation.
Make certain the insulation is large enough to cover your full
area of physical contact with work and ground.
In addition to the normal safety precautions, if welding
must be performed under electrically hazardous
conditions (in damp locations or while wearing wet
clothing; on metal structures such as floors, gratings or
scaffolds; when in cramped positions such as sitting,
kneeling or lying, if there is a high risk of unavoidable or
accidental contact with the workpiece or ground) use
the following equipment:
• Semiautomatic DC Constant Voltage (Wire) Welder.
• DC Manual (Stick) Welder.
• AC Welder with Reduced Voltage Control.
3.c. In semiautomatic or automatic wire welding, the electrode,
electrode reel, welding head, nozzle or semiautomatic
welding gun are also electrically “hot”.
3.d. Always be sure the work cable makes a good electrical
connection with the metal being welded. The connection
should be as close as possible to the area being welded.
3.e. Ground the work or metal to be welded to a good electrical
(earth) ground.
3.f.
Maintain the electrode holder, work clamp, welding cable and
welding machine in good, safe operating condition. Replace
damaged insulation.
3.g. Never dip the electrode in water for cooling.
3.h. Never simultaneously touch electrically “hot” parts of
electrode holders connected to two welders because voltage
between the two can be the total of the open circuit voltage
of both welders.
3.i. When working above floor level, use a safety belt to protect
yourself from a fall should you get a shock.
3.j. Also see Items 6.c. and 8.
ARC RAYS can burn.
4.a. Use a shield with the proper filter and cover
plates to protect your eyes from sparks and
the rays of the arc when welding or observing
open arc welding. Headshield and filter lens
should conform to ANSI Z87. I standards.
4.b. Use suitable clothing made from durable flame-resistant
material to protect your skin and that of your helpers from
the arc rays.
4.c. Protect other nearby personnel with suitable, non-flammable
screening and/or warn them not to watch the arc nor expose
themselves to the arc rays or to hot spatter or metal.
FUMES AND GASES
can be dangerous.
5.a. Welding may produce fumes and gases
hazardous to health. Avoid breathing these
fumes and gases. When welding, keep
your head out of the fume. Use enough
ventilation and/or exhaust at the arc to keep
fumes and gases away from the breathing zone. When
welding with electrodes which require special
ventilation such as stainless or hard facing (see
instructions on container or MSDS) or on lead or
cadmium plated steel and other metals or coatings
which produce highly toxic fumes, keep exposure as
low as possible and within applicable OSHA PEL and
ACGIH TLV limits using local exhaust or mechanical ventilation. In confined spaces or in some circumstances,
outdoors, a respirator may be required. Additional precautions are also required when welding on galvanized
steel.
5.b. The operation of welding fume control equipment is affected
by various factors including proper use and positioning of the
equipment, maintenance of the equipment and the specific
welding procedure and application involved. Worker exposure level should be checked upon installation and periodically thereafter to be certain it is within applicable OSHA PEL
and ACGIH TLV limits.
5.c.
Do not weld in locations near chlorinated hydrocarbon
coming from degreasing, cleaning or spraying operations.
The heat and rays of the arc can react with solvent vapors
form phosgene, a highly toxic gas, and other irritating products.
vapors
to
5.d. Shielding gases used for arc welding can displace air and
cause injury or death. Always use enough ventilation,
especially in confined areas, to insure breathing air is safe.
5.e. Read and understand the manufacturerʼs instructions for this
equipment and the consumables to be used, including the
material safety data sheet (MSDS) and follow your
employerʼs safety practices. MSDS forms are available from
your welding distributor or from the manufacturer.

WELDING and CUTTING
SPARKS can
cause fire or explosion.
6.a.
Remove fire hazards from the welding area.
If this is not possible, cover them to prevent
Remember that welding sparks and hot materials from
welding can easily go through small cracks and openings to
adjacent areas. Avoid welding near hydraulic lines. Have a
fire extinguisher readily available.
6.b. Where compressed gases are to be used at the job site,
special precautions should be used to prevent hazardous
situations. Refer to “Safety in Welding and Cutting” (ANSI
Standard Z49.1) and the operating information for the
equipment being used.
6.c. When not welding, make certain no part of the electrode
circuit is touching the work or ground. Accidental contact can
cause overheating and create a fire hazard.
6.d. Do not heat, cut or weld tanks, drums or containers until the
proper steps have been taken to insure that such procedures
will not cause flammable or toxic vapors from substances
inside. They can cause an explosion even
been “cleaned”. For information, purchase “Recommended
Safe Practices for the
Containers and Piping That Have Held Hazardous
Substances”, AWS F4.1 from the American Welding Society

Sparks and spatter are thrown from the welding arc. Wear oil
6.f.
free protective garments such as leather gloves, heavy shirt,
cuffless trousers, high shoes and a cap over your hair. Wear
ear plugs when welding out of position or in confined places.
Always wear safety glasses with side shields when in a
welding area.
6.g. Connect the work cable to the work as close to the welding
area as practical. Work cables connected to the building
framework or other locations away from the welding area
increase the possibility of the welding current passing
through lifting chains, crane cables or other alternate circuits.
This can create fire hazards or overheat lifting chains or
cables until they fail.

PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÛRETÉ
Pour votre propre protection lire et observer toutes les instructions
et les précautions de sûreté specifiques qui parraissent dans ce
manuel aussi bien que les précautions de sûreté générales suivantes:
Sûreté Pour Soudage A LʼArc
1. Protegez-vous contre la secousse électrique:
a. Les circuits à lʼélectrode et à la piéce sont sous tension
quand la machine à souder est en marche. Eviter toujours
tout contact entre les parties sous tension et la peau nue
ou les vétements mouillés. Porter des gants secs et sans
trous pour isoler les mains.
b. Faire trés attention de bien sʼisoler de la masse quand on
soude dans des endroits humides, ou sur un plancher metallique ou des grilles metalliques, principalement dans
les positions assis ou couché pour lesquelles une grande
partie du corps peut être en contact avec la masse.
c. Maintenir le porte-électrode, la pince de masse, le câble de
soudage et la machine à souder en bon et sûr état defonctionnement.
d.Ne jamais plonger le porte-électrode dans lʼeau pour le
refroidir.
e. Ne jamais toucher simultanément les parties sous tension
des porte-électrodes connectés à deux machines à souder
parce que la tension entre les deux pinces peut être le total
de la tension à vide des deux machines.
f. Si on utilise la machine à souder comme une source de
courant pour soudage semi-automatique, ces precautions
pour le porte-électrode sʼapplicuent aussi au pistolet de
soudage.
2. Dans le cas de travail au dessus du niveau du sol, se protéger
contre les chutes dans le cas ou on recoit un choc. Ne jamais
enrouler le câble-électrode autour de nʼimporte quelle partie du
corps.
5. Toujours porter des lunettes de sécurité dans la zone de
soudage. Utiliser des lunettes avec écrans lateraux dans les
zones où lʼon pique le laitier.
6. Eloigner les matériaux inflammables ou les recouvrir afin de
prévenir tout risque dʼincendie dû aux étincelles.
7. Quand on ne soude pas, poser la pince à une endroit isolé de
la masse. Un court-circuit accidental peut provoquer un
échauffement et un risque dʼincendie.
8. Sʼassurer que la masse est connectée le plus prés possible de
la zone de travail quʼil est pratique de le faire. Si on place la
masse sur la charpente de la construction ou dʼautres endroits
éloignés de la zone de travail, on augmente le risque de voir
passer le courant de soudage par les chaines de levage,
câbles de grue, ou autres circuits. Cela peut provoquer des
risques dʼincendie ou dʼechauffement des chaines et des
câbles jusquʼà ce quʼils se rompent.
9. Assurer une ventilation suffisante dans la zone de soudage.
Ceci est particuliérement important pour le soudage de tôles
galvanisées plombées, ou cadmiées ou tout autre métal qui
produit des fumeés toxiques.
10. Ne pas souder en présence de vapeurs de chlore provenant
dʼopérations de dégraissage, nettoyage ou pistolage. La
chaleur ou les rayons de lʼarc peuvent réagir avec les vapeurs
du solvant pour produire du phosgéne (gas fortement toxique)
ou autres produits irritants.
11. Pour obtenir de plus amples renseignements sur la sûreté, voir
le code “Code for safety in welding and cutting” CSA Standard
W 117.2-1974.
PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÛRETÉ POUR
3. Un coup dʼarc peut être plus sévère quʼun coup de soliel, donc:
a. Utiliser un bon masque avec un verre filtrant approprié ainsi
quʼun verre blanc afin de se protéger les yeux du rayonnement de lʼarc et des projections quand on soude ou
quand on regarde lʼarc.
b. Porter des vêtements convenables afin de protéger la peau
de soudeur et des aides contre le rayonnement de lʻarc.
c. Protéger lʼautre personnel travaillant à proximité au
soudage à lʼaide dʼécrans appropriés et non-inflammables.
4. Des gouttes de laitier en fusion sont émises de lʼarc de
soudage. Se protéger avec des vêtements de protection libres
de lʼhuile, tels que les gants en cuir, chemise épaisse, pantalons sans revers, et chaussures montantes.
LES MACHINES À SOUDER À
TRANSFORMATEUR ET À
REDRESSEUR
1. Relier à la terre le chassis du poste conformement au code de
lʼélectricité et aux recommendations du fabricant. Le dispositif
de montage ou la piece à souder doit être branché à une
bonne mise à la terre.
2. Autant que possible, Iʼinstallation et lʼentretien du poste seront
effectués par un électricien qualifié.
3. Avant de faires des travaux à lʼinterieur de poste, la debrancher à lʼinterrupteur à la boite de fusibles.
4. Garder tous les couvercles et dispositifs de sûreté à leur place.

INSTALLATION
NOTE: Although it is possible to mount the dustbin
directly to the Spark Guardian™, the installation of a vertical duct of at least 3 feet between
Spark Guardian™ and dustbin enhances fire
safety. The larger the distance to the dustbin,
the safer. Do not mount the dustbin in a “hanging” position. A structure that is capable of
supporting a full dustbin (100 lbs.) is necessary
and shall be in place at all times under the
dustbin.
NOTE: For weight reasons it is recommended to place
the dustbin on a small pallet to facilitate
removal.
To mount the dustbin, proceed as follows.
A-18
Place a reducer metric-imperial Ø 8 in. (B) at either
side of the duct and fasten them using self-tapping
screws (min. 4).
1. Connect the duct to the Spark Guardian™ using a
duct clamp (A). Tighten the clamp using a box

DESCRIPTION
When the filter system is in operation, the sliding
valves are open. In the event of an alarm signal, power
failure or when the fan is switched off, the valves are
closed. Correct closing of the valves is monitored by a
reed switch contact.
In case of fire, the sliding valves close automatically.
This cuts off oxygen to the fire. This will also minimize
risk of escalation and spreading of smoke.
• In an existing duct
WARNING
Not installing the proper supports for
the Sliding Valves can cause severe
injury.
Ensure that the ductwork can support the weight of the sliding valves.
It is recommended to use duct supports.
2. Place the reed contact (A) in the slit of the bracket.

Recommended operational pressure 4-5 bar (max. 9 bar)
1. Connect the sliding valves to compressed air source
per the Pneumatic Diagram.
Setting closing speed of the sliding valves
The closing speed of the valves is set by the air pressure.
1. Set the closing speed of the valves to 4-5 seconds
by adjusting the air pressure to 5 BAR.
Do not set the valves to faster than 4 seconds. If there
is a fire alarm, the fan is switched off and the sliding
valves are closed. The 4 seconds gives the fan enough
time to reduce speed and prevents damage to the duct
by negative pressure. Do not select speeds slower
than 5 seconds, since the Flame Guardian™ modules
are activated 5 seconds after the fire alarm.
Post installation checks
• Check electrical connections.
• Check pneumatic connections.
• Check that nuts and bolts are secure.

NOTE: Failure to use the correct number, type and
position of the Flame Guardian™ generators
could compromise the effective fire response.
See Figure A.22 for number, type and position
of Flame Guardian™ generators.
The Flame Guardian™ is a fire suppression generator
designed to be installed directly into the filter system.
The Flame Guardian™ is activated by the Guardian™
Panel fire detection panel 5 seconds after a fire alarm
is activated.
The Flame Guardian™ is designed to suppress or
extinguish filter fires of EN 2 Class A and NFPA 10
Class A (normal or solid combustible material in the filters).
In 5 to 10 seconds, after a fire is detected, the filter is
filled with a potassium aerosol. This material reacts
with the free radicals in the flame. The free radicals
react with the aerosol instead of the fuel and the chain
reaction of fire is suppressed. The residue is a negligible amount of harmless and stable potassium hydroxide salt (KOH).
After release of the aerosol, it remains active for at
least 30 minutes, this prevents the fire from reigniting.

• True functional test
Simulation
1. Two heat resistant wires are connected to an internal metal spiral activator in the Flame Guardian™.
The spiral is heated by the current and starts an
exothermic chemical reaction that releases the
aerosol. The minimum amount of energy needed to
start the reaction is created by applying 12V/0.8
Amps for 3-4 seconds.
2. The internal wiring of the activator can be inspected
by measuring the internal ohm resistance of 2 ohm
+/- 0.2 ohm using an ohm meter with a current less
than 5 milliamps. This inspection can be done in the
junction box mounted on the outside of the filter by
measuring the ohm resistance over the heat resistant wires.
3. Check electrical activation of the Flame Guardian™
modules according to the above instructions.

If the fire is detected, the system can also be activated
manually at the manual call point (L).
Automatic detection is triggered by heat, sparks or
smoke. The filter is fitted with 2 heat detectors (H)
located above the dustbin and at the top of the filter.
Spark detectors (C) are placed near the filter outlet
and in the duct after the filter. The smoke detector (D)
is placed in the duct after the filter, (5 duct diameters of
equivalent length straight duct before smoke detector).
The inlet and outlet duct of the filter are fitted with
pneumatic sliding valves (B). In the event of a fire, the
sliding valves close and cut off the air flow. This
reduces the risk of escalation. When the extraction
system is switched off, the valves are closed. The
valve in the filter outlet duct is placed down stream of
the spark and smoke detectors. The sliding valves
have reed contacts to monitor the closing function.
The filter system software runs a periodic check to
make sure the system is operating properly.
PRODUCT COMBINATIONS
The fire detection & suppression system is to be
installed with:
• Spark Guardian™ (cyclone spark arrester)
• Oil Guardian™ (lime feeder)
• Central filter system type (Statiflex filter bank), ranging from 4-bank to 48-bank (other sizes on request)
• Central fan
• System control panel (SCP)
• Round ductwork of the appropriate diameter
COMPONENT DESCRIPTIONS
See Figure B.1.
The Spark Guardian™ (A) reduces the risk of sparks,
cigarette butts or other sources of ignition reaching the
filter. Inspection hatches (E) are placed around the
Spark Guardian™ to monitor the system and determine the need for preventive maintenance. SeeMaintenance Section.
The Oil Guardian™ (F) lime feeder is placed between
the Spark Guardian™ and the filter. Limestone is
applied in small quantities and makes sticky welding
fume behave like dry welding fume, enhancing filter
cleaning and filter cartridge life. The lime reduces the
risk of fire due to sparks and spontaneous combustion.
The Guardian Control™ (J) fire detection panel
processes the detection sensor signals, sets the alarm
and activates the suppression system. In case of an
alarm, a fire alarm sounder (K) will be audible.
Operational reliability in the event of a power failure is
assured by battery back-up. To ensure the overall
functionality the Guardian™ Panel monitors open or
short circuits the wiring loops of detectors and the suppression system.
GUARDIAN CONTROL™ SOLUTIONS
The filter is fitted with one or more Flame Guardian™
(I) fire extinguishing generators. The aerosols are
placed directly in the filter housing. Flame Guardian™
requires no maintenance and has a service life of 10
years. If there is a fire, Flame Guardian™ is activated
by the fire detection panel after the sliding valves have
closed. Flame Guardian™ will also self activate at
572°F (300°C). Fire suppression is rapidly achieved
through interference between the aerosol and the
flamesʼ free radicals. The aerosol remains active for 30
minutes after activation, thus preventing re-ignition.
The amount of aerosol is proportional to the filter volume and can be easily adapted by adding additional
Flame Guardians™.
Flame Guardian is the name used by LECO for the use
of FirePro aerosol generators in LECO filter systems.
FirePro is a product of Celanova Ltd. Listing and certifications are registered under the name FirePro.
Number and type of Flame Guardian aerosol fire extinguishing generators has been calculated by certified
personnel in conformity with BRL-KZ 3003 and NFPA
2010, based on filter class A, E, safety factor 1.3 and
min. concentration of 55.29 g/m
The system control panel SCP (M) controls the filter
and fan operation. If here is a fire a signal is sent from
the Guardian™ Panel to the System Control Panel.
The System Control Panel closes the sliding valves,
stops the fan, shuts off the supply of compressed air
and deactivates the air solenoid. The air solenoid
(G)discharges the compressed air stored in the tanks.
These actions prevent any fresh air from reaching the
fire.

OPERATION IN CASE OF FIRE
The fire suppression system can be activated in two
ways:
1. Automatically by heat, sparks and/or smoke detec-
tors.
2. Manually at the manual call point.
If there is a fire, the automatic sequence of events is as
follows:
• Acoustic fire alarm activation
• Fan motor is switched off
• Release of compressed air through solenoid valve
After a delay of 5 seconds:
• Sliding valves close
• Release of aerosol by Flame Guardian™ generator
After activation, the Flame Guardian™ remains active
for at least 30 minutes to prevent re-ignition of the fire.
This is to keep damage to the filter, as well as consequential loss, to a minimum.

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION AND
OPERATION
B-5
SMOKE DETECTOR
The Smoke Detectorʼs operation is based on light scattering by the air sampling tube. The sampling tube
transports the air to the smoke detector. When smoke
is detected, it sends a signal to the Guardian™ Panel.
The Guardian™ Panel activates the fire suppression
system. The smoke detector is fitted with the following
LEDs, indicators and features:
See Figure B.3.
A. Opening for test spray
B. LED display: indicates the contamination status of
the sensor and need for maintenance
C. Red LED: alarm; also reset button and functional

GUARDIAN™ PANEL
Guardian™ Panel is a fire detection panel (UL
Standard 862) with a separate manual call point. It has
three detection zones all of which are capable of activating the Flame Guardian™ fire extinguishing
aerosols.
The panel makes it possible to connect additional manual call points.
The Guardian™ Panel has two back-up batteries to
allow for continuous operation in the event of a temporary power failure.
HEAT DETECTOR SET
The Heat Detector Set consists of two temperature
detectors that are installed in the filter housing. When
they detect a temperature of 190°F (88°C) or more,
they send a signal to the Guardian™ Panel to activate
the fire suppression system.
SPARK DETECTOR SET
There is a set of two infrared spark detectors. The
spark detectors are sensitive to the IR light between
0.4 to 1.1 microns wavelength.
When glowing particulate from the burning filter enters
the field of view on the detector, the detector responds
by sending a signal to the Guardian™ Panel fire detection panel. The Guardian™ Panel activates the fire
suppression system.

SLIDING VALVES
When the filter system is in operation, the sliding
valves are open. In the event of an alarm signal, power
failure or when the fan is switched off, the valves are
closed. Correct closing of the valves is monitored by a
reed switch contact.
In case of fire, the sliding valves close automatically.
This cuts off air flow to the fire. This will also minimize
risk of escalation and spreading of smoke.

SOLENOID VALVE
See Figure B.4.
Normally closed 3-way 2-position solenoid valve.
When the connected filter system is in operation, the
solenoid is activated and compressed air is supplied to
the cleaning system of the filter (port P and A are
open). If there is a fire alarm or power failure, the solenoid will return to its normally closed (NC) position,
closing port P and opening port R. In this position the
compressed air escapes from the pressure tanks located inside the filter bank. It also prevents fresh oxygen
from reaching the filter.

The Flame Guardian™ is designed to suppress or
extinguish filter fires of EN 2 Class A and NFPA 10
Class A (normal or solid combustible material in the filters).
In 5 to 10 seconds, after a fire is detected, the filter is
filled with a potassium aerosol. This material reacts
with the free radicals in the flame. The free radicals
react with the aerosol instead of the fuel and the chain
reaction of fire is suppressed. The residue is a negligible amount of harmless and stable potassium hydroxide salt (KOH).
After release of the aerosol, it remains active for at
least 30 minutes, this prevents the fire from reigniting.
Flame Guardian is the name used by LECO for the use
of FirePro aerosol generators in LECO filter systems.
FirePro is a product of Celanova Ltd. Listing and certifications are registered under the name FirePro.

sliding valves and releases the compressed air
through the solenoid valve.
4. Five seconds after fire alarm, the Flame
Guardian™(s) is/are activated; LEDs OUTPUT 1
TO 4 will be lit.
WARNING
During inspection and maintenance, always use
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to avoid
injury. This also applies for persons who enter the
work area.
The following activities are strictly reserved to
skilled and authorized service engineers.
1. Inspect the filter and hopper for glowing materials
before continuing.
2. Inspect the filter cartridges. If they are damaged by
fire or any cartridge less than 20 in. (50 cm) proximity of the aerosol release opening must be replaced.
3. Follow maintenance procedure on spark detectors
(See Spark Detector in Maintenance Section).
NOTE: The Flame Guardian™ extinguishing material
is extremely fine. In case of fire, it may seem
like smoke escapes through the seams of the
filter system, but most commonly it is the extinguishing material which is harmless to environment and people.
POST-FIRE PROCEDURE
Statiflex Filter Bank and Flame Guardian™
After any fire incident, the entire installation must
be inspected and released by a skilled and authorized service engineer.
WARNING
To avoid re-ignition of the fire and to
prevent consequential damage, keep
filter closed for at least 30 minutes
from the time the fire suppression
agent is released.
The system has been designed to function without
problems for a long period of time with minimal maintenance. To ensure this, some regular maintenance testing and cleaning activities are required. The observance of necessary cautions and regular maintenance
intervals, will ensure any problems will be detected and
corrected before they lead to a total breakdown.
The entire system, including the Guardian™ Panel,
must be tested periodically in accordance with the
national fire protection association requirements or the
authorities having local jurisdiction.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
If maintenance is required for any detector, filter system or peripheral equipment, proceed as follows.
1. Electrically isolate the Flame Guardian™ module(s).
WARNING
Not isolating the Flame Guardian™ module(s) will
cause accidental activation of the fire suppression
method.
The indicated maintenance intervals can vary depending on the specific working and ambient conditions.
Therefore it is recommended to perform the first general maintenance check three months after commissioning and determine the future frequency based on
the state of the system after this period. The complete
system must be inspected at least once a year.
Refer to the separate system components about
method and frequency of maintenance. Maintenance
activities have been summarized in the MaintenanceCalendar.
