Resumen del manual
Check the system for damage during shipment. 2. Check the pressure gauge to be sure the gauge pointer lies within the green zone at 70°F (21°C). The correct weight is shown on the nameplate for the appropriate model. 3. Select an interior location not directly subject to weather or seawater. 4. Confirm the volume of the compartment to be protected in cubic feet or cubic meters by multiplying the width in feet, by the length in feet, by the depth at the keel in feet; make no deductions for installed equipment. 5. Verify calculated volume with volume shown on name plate label and chart on opposite page. Selecting a Location 1. Do not install a Fireboy system rated for less cubic volume than the volume of the compartment to be protected. 2. Orientation: • Mounting up to 90° from vertical is permissible • Install on the forward or aft vertical bulkhead of the engine compartment as near the centerline of the vessel (keel) as possible. • Install as high as possible • Direct the actuator towards the opposite bulkhead or towards the engine(s) • Avoid installing athwart ship (perpendicular to the keel) on sailboats Mounting Fireboy system 1. Locate the lower bracket 1 .” above the bottom of the cylinder and the upper bracket .” above the Fireboy nameplate. If required the 3rd bracket needs to be centered between the upper and lower backets. 2. Use appropriate size and length stainless steel bolts and lock washers and bolt to bulk head or overhead. 7 Accommodating Diesel Engines 1. Failure to install an Automatic Engine Shutdown in any compartment containing a diesel engine and a Fireboy system impedes the fire extinguisher and may prevent fire extinguishment. 2. Automatic Engine Shutdown units are available through your Fireboy- Xintex distributor, dealer or retailer in three, five and eight circuit models. 3. Follow the installation instructions included with the Automatic Engine Shutdown for proper installation. 4. Technical Support for Automatic Engine Shutdowns is available by calling Fireboy-Xintex or visiting our website at Installing Indicator Lamp Mounting Lamp 1. U.S. Coast Guard regulations require an indicator lamp and escutcheon plate at each helm position from which the craft may be operated. 2. Your Fireboy System is supplied with one (1) indicator lamp and escutcheon plate. Additional indicator lamps and escutcheon plates are available factory direct, or through an authorized dealer (see Additional Equipment). 3. Select an appropriate location for the indicator lamp and escutcheon plate on or near the instrument panel at the helm and in full view of the operator. 4. Drill a 5/16” hole. 5. Remove the backing paper on the escutcheon panel. 6. Feed both wires through 5/16” hole. 7. Press escutcheon plate firmly press in place. 8 WARNING: • An electrical short may result in electrical burn, injury or fire • Before attempting to wire the indicator lamp, turn off all electrical current to the ignition switch • All Fireboy wiring must comply with the American Boat and Yacht Council Standard E9-9, titled Direct Current Electrical Systems for Boats, available from ABYC, 3069 Solomon’s Island Road, Edgewater, MD 21037 • The indicator lamp supplied is for 12 VDC use only Wiring Instructions 1. Review all wiring instructions below. 2. Consult a qualified marine electrician if you have any doubts about your ability to safely and properly complete the wiring. Ignition systems and electrical systems vary from boat to boat, and the directions which follow, may not apply to your boat. 3. Assemble the supplies you will need that are not included with your Fireboy System. • The necessary length of insulated 16 gauge (minimum) stranded wire • A one-half (.5) ampere in-line fuse and fuse holder or circuit breaker • Properly sized insulated crimp-on wire connectors 4. Connect one lead of the fuse to the “ignition” position of the starter switch. 5. Connect the other lead of the fuse to the red (+) wire of the LED indicator lamp. 6. Connect the black (-) wire of the indicator lamp to one of the pigtail wires on the Fireboy System (as shown below). 7. Do not reverse red and black wire, system will not function. 8. Connect the remaining wire from the Fireboy system to ground. Engine compartments not equipped with a powered ventilation system require no further wiring. 9 If the engine compartment is equipped with a powered ventilation system, U.S. Coast Guard Rule 162.029 requires that the ground connection of the ventilation system be connected to the Fireboy system. Failure to connect a powered ventilation system in the manner described below impedes fire extinguisher and may prevent fire extinguishment. Powered Ventilation Systems (Blowers) 1. Determine the maximum current draw of the powered ventilation system. 2. For current draw not exceeding 5 amps either: • Connect the negative (-) wire of the ventilation blower to the pressure switch at the same point as the indicator lamp, or • Connect the neg...
