Installation TIPS for fogging systems – RECOMMENDATION
4.
Please observe the following instructions for installing Orion Technology:
1. The machine must be installed avoiding obstructing escape routes.
2. Verify the fog does not limit the visibility near: stairs, landings, moving objects that may cause:
falls down, injuries or any damage to persons.
3. Do not look directly into the nozzle. Do not add any other substance into the bags.
4. The nozzle may reach high temperatures, touch it may cause burns.
5. When Orion Technology produces fog avoid staying closer than 1 meter from the machine.
6. When Orion Technology is armed avoid staying closer than 50 cm from the nozzle.
7. Before testing Orion Technology, remember to report it in advance to the firefighters in your area
to avoid false alarms.
8. Remember to put warning labels about the presence of Orion Technology on the windows.
9. Report its installation to the firefighters in your area and eventually to other institutions if needed.
10. It is necessary to add an external switch to separate the fog generator from the alarm system and it
should be activated before the maintenance to avoid that input tests, for example, can activate the
fog generator.
11. Never direct the fog jet towards an object or a wall less than 2 meters away and if possible increase
the suggested minimum distance. Thanks to the power of the jet, Orion Technology reaches and
exceeds more than 10 meters away in the first 3 seconds from the point where the machine is
installed.
12. Setting the shooting time interval between the minimum and maximum shown in the shooting
table, avoid “overshooting” even if the produced fog is dry and generally doesn’t leave residue. A
shot that goes far beyond the recommended seconds can create a residue problem in the room.
13. Orion Technology continues to be effective for up to 2 hours without 220V main power thanks to
the insulation system which maintains the temperature in the heating system.
14. Install at a height of about 2.5 meters not to let it be reached, avoiding possible tampering.
15. Install with a maximum inclination of 20°.
16. Do not move the machine when it is still hot.
17. The main body of Orion Technology, which has the heating system enclosed inside a metal frame,
should not be opened unless by specific and authorized service centers. Do not open and touch for
any reason the insulation before 24 hours Orion Technology has been shut off. The internal part
may reach really high temperature.
18. Do not activate the Orion Technology machine before the installation is completed.
19. Insert the bags as the last procedure and verify the anti-tampering function.
20. When the installation is finished, always test the system.
21. From the moment of Orion Technology activation, at least one hour is necessary to reach the
minimum temperature needed for the fog shooting.
22. Install Orion Technology avoiding any obstacles in front of it which can prevent the spreading of the
fog.
23. The external temperature of Orion Technology can change from room temperature to 50 °C.
24. The tip of a stranded conductor should not be soft-soldered where the conductor is subjected to
contact pressure.
25. The Orion Technology machine should not be exposed to water spray or dripping.
26. Request to Orion Technology or its distributors to take part in courses for installers to ensure the
optimal installation of the equipment.
