This Operation & User Manual provides information on the FPC-5V2 fire protection module

and how it is connected to the various FirePro Condensed Aerosol Generators.

Autonomous fire suppression unit

Primary power source: 3Vdc battery.

Battery monitoring feature with LED - indication.

Manual or Automatic battery status indication.

Single input detection loop.

Linear heat detector cable or a bimetallic sensor

connections

Figure 1: FPC-5V2 module.

The FirePro fire protection module detects fire by using either a linear heat detector

cable or a bimetallic sensor and activates the condensed aerosol fire suppression

generators automatically in electrical cabinets and similar enclosures.

Figure 2: Fire detection devices.

Input detection terminal (J7 on the PCB) is available for connecting the linear heat

detector cable or a bimetallic sensor. Output terminal (J6 on the PCB) can be used to

connect the condensed aerosol fire suppression generator. Both J7 & J6 terminals

are not electrically polarized.

The fire protection module FPC-5V2 is powered by an internal 3V battery capable of

providing the necessary amperage to activate a condensed aerosol fire suppression

generator.

The FPC-5V2 module is equipped with a battery monitoring feature. The battery status

is indicated by the three LEDs located on the front of the unit.

oThe green LED flashes every four seconds, indicating that the battery is in

good operating condition and is able to activate the aerosol generator when

required.

oThe yellow LED is illuminated when the battery voltage level has dropped but

is still able to activate the aerosol generator when required.

oThe red LED is illuminated when the battery is unable to activate the aerosol

generator and it is necessary to replace the battery immediately.

oWhen no LED is illuminated, either the battery is installed in reverse polarity or

it is fully discharged, or the unit is set in manual mode.

The fire protection module FPC-5V2 can monitor the battery in both automatic

and manual mode. Automatic mode means that the battery monitor function of

the unit is operating continuously. Manual mode means that the battery

monitor function of the unit does not operate continuously but only operates by

pressing and holding the press switch located on the front of the unit above

the LED. Automatic mode and Manual mode operation can be adjusted by

changing the position of the "SW2" switch on the electronic PCB. When the

switch is in the ON - position the unit is in Automatic mode. When the switch is

in the OFF - position the unit is in Manual mode.

Step 2: Pass the Condensed Aerosol Generator wires through the FPC-5V2 main body.

It is important to pass the Condensed Aerosol Generator wires from the same opening

of the adaptor plate/junction box coupling.

Step 5: Install the CR2 battery on the battery holder "J4".

Figure 9

Step 6: Use a multimeter to make sure that there is no voltage at terminal "J6" on the

electronic PCB. If there is a voltage reading, this means that the fire detection part of the

unit has been activated, which will trigger the activation of the condensed aerosol

generator when connected. Address this issue first and then proceed to the next step.

Step 8: To adjust the position of the "SW2" switch for Automatic or Manual monitoring

mode operation, unscrew the electronic PCB from the front section of the FPC-5V2

module.

Step 9: Place the front section of the FPC-5V2 module into the main body of the FPC-

5V2. Insert and tighten safety Knob "A" to assemble the unit.

The Linear Heat Detector cable that is connected to the FPC-5V2 module must be installed

inside and on the ceiling of the electrical panel enclosure .

Figure 14 Typical installation

The FPC-5V2 module equipped with a bimetallic sensor must be installed in such a way so

that the bimetallic sensor is as close to the ceiling inside the electrical panel enclosure.

For Testing, Commissioning and Simulation purposes, the Condensed Aerosol Generator is

disconnected from the fire protection module FPC-5V2 and replaced by an indication circuit

as per below diagram. The indication circuit includes a resistor and an LED (the indication

circuit must be installed as illustrated below since the LEDs feature polarity).

Step 1: Remove any power source connected to the system (CR2 Battery).

Step 2: Connect the simulation LED circuit as described in figure 16.

Step 3: Apply the power source to the system (CR2 Battery).

Step 4: Create a short-circuit by using the two end-wires of the LHD cable (Linear Heat

Detector cable) or apply heat to the bimetallic sensor.

Step 5: Once the detection line is activated observe whether the LED illuminates.

Step 6: Cancel the short-circuit on the detection line (LHD cable) or wait for the bimetallic

sensor to cool down.

Step 7: Observe whether the LED is off.

Step 8: If no problem has been observed, remove the power source connected to the

system (CR2 Battery).

Step 9: By using an ohm-meter ensure that the ohmic resistance of the condensed aerosol

generators is b

Step 10: Replace the simulation LED circuit with the condensed aerosol generators.
