Cable Installation

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 negative (-) wire of the ventilation blower to the number 1 terminal of a Fireboy Automatic Engine Shutdown system if available (recommended)

3.For current draw exceeding 5 amps connect the negative (-) wire of the powered ventilation system to the number (1) terminal of a Fireboy Automatic Engine Shutdown system.

NOTE:

The Escutcheon plate LED is connected to the pressure switch at the same point that auxiliary devices can be connected. Care must be taken when wiring other devices to the pressure switch to ensure the presence of the LED does not affect the operation of the device. Contact Fireboy-Xintex technical support regarding any installation questions.

Use of indicator lamp

•The Fireboy System indicator lamp is designed to announce to the helmsman the state of the fire extinguisher when the ignition key is in the ON position.

•A GLOWING green light indicates the Fireboy system is CHARGED.

•A NON GLOWING light indicates the Fireboy system is DISCHARGED.

WARNING:

1.All Fireboy MA Systems installations must use only genuine Fireboy cables and associated components that are engineered specifically for this application.

2.Nothing else will provide the intended degree of safety and reliability inherent in these systems.

3.Any substitution will void all laboratory and Coast Guard approvals and Fireboy-Xintex warranties, and may result in an inoperative system, and unsafe and hazardous conditions.

4.Never install a manual release handle in the space to be protected.

5.Never install a cable on a CG2 Series. For use on MA2 Series only.

HFC-227ea, MA2 FE-241, CG2 specifications

Fireboy Xintex, LTD HFC-227ea, CG2, MA2 FE-241 is an advanced fire suppression agent that stands out in its effectiveness and versatility. This halocarbon compound, also known as heptafluoropropane, has become a preferred choice for fire protection systems worldwide due to its unique chemistry and performance characteristics.

One of the main features of HFC-227ea is its ability to suppress flames without leaving behind damaging residues. This property makes it particularly suitable for use in sensitive environments like data centers, server rooms, and heritage sites where traditional water-based extinguishing systems could cause significant collateral damage.
