AGENT:The system agent is Amerex KP liquid firesuppressant, a potassium acetate basedsolution that suppresses cooking grease firesthrough both saponification and cooling anddoes not harm stainless steel surfaces.

AGENT DISCHARGE PIPING KP:Agent discharge piping for the KP systemconsists of specific nozzles located andaimed dependent on individual appliancetype and location.

AGENT DISCHARGE PIPING ZD:Agent discharge piping for the Zone Defensesystem consists of nozzles placed no furtherapart than 20 inches along the entire length ofthe hood. This creates an overlapping nozzlespray pattern which permits movement of theprotected appliances such as fryers, woks,ranges and charboilers, without altering theZone Defense discharge nozzle locations orcompromising protection.

DETECTION KP & ZD:The detection network uses a pneumaticlinear detection device listed by UL for 435° Fas a “quick response” device. The detectiondevice incorporates thermal responsive tubingthat is pressurized to 70 psi and runscontinuously throughout the length of the hood.No cables, conduit, corner pulleys, “S” hooksor fusible links shall be allowed in the ZoneDefense detection system.

DISCHARGE NOZZLES:Discharge nozzles are made of chrome-platedbrass, and consist of a one piece tip/body,strainer and blow off cap.

ACTUATION CYLINDER KP:The actuation cylinder is filled with 10 cu. in.of nitrogen and has an integral pressure gaugewhich allows easy field verification of pressure.This cylinder is capable of being refilled inthe field.

ELECTRIC MICRO SWITCH:Micro switches are provided to accomplishsystem output functions. The switches are“stackable” inside the PRM without requiringextra mounting hardware. From 1 to 4 sets ofdry form “C” contacts are available.

GAS VALVES:Mechanical and Electrical gas valves areavailable. These can be fitted to the gas supplyto shut off gas when the system is activated.

MANUAL PULL STATIONS KP & ZD:The manual pull stations are a “dual action”type. Both a ring pin and lever must be pulledin order to discharge the system manually.

MECHANICAL RELEASEMODULE (MRM):The Mechanical release module is the spring-loaded type using a mechanical input andelectrical, mechanical or pneumatic outputs.It is capable of actuating from one to tencylinder/valve assemblies using one nitrogencylinder and is operated either automatically bythe detection network or manually by a remotemanual pull station.The MRM enclosure,available in either stainless steel or redpainted steel has a system status indicatorand a window to observe the nitrogen cylinderpressure. The enclosure has provision forapplying tamper seals after final testing or

periodic maintenance. The MRM enclosurehas knockouts on three sides (top, bottom,and right) to accept conduit. The MRM hastwo SPDT micro switches pre-installed.

PNEUMATIC RELEASE MODULE(PRM):The PRM offers superior detection by usinga linear pneumatic detection system.This detection system consists of the PRM,thermal responsive tubing and end ofline fitting. The tubing is pressurized througha small “accumulator” inside the enclosure,routed throughout the hazard area and hasa UL listed fixed temperature of 435° F.When exposed to a fire condition, the tubingruptures, relieving all of the pressure in thetubing and accumulator thus firing the systemusing a nitrogen cylinder. The PRM comescomplete with enclosure, accumulator, end ofline fitting, and connector for up to two remotemechanical manual pull stations, one SPDTmicro switch, and “knockouts”. It is capable offiring up to 10 ZD 375 cylinder assemblies andactuating up to two gas valves. The tubing issold separately and is cut to length.

STAINLESS STEEL CABINET(Optional):An optional stainless steel cabinet housingan MRM and one agent cylinder is available.The pressure gauges for the nitrogen cylinderand the agent cylinder are visable withoutremoving the front cover of the cabinet.

SYSTEM SPECIFICATIONS

The Amerex (KP) and Zone Defense (ZD) are pre-engineered, wet chemical, stored-pressure type with a fixednozzle agent distribution network. The system is listed by Underwriter’s Laboratories, Inc., (UL) and tested toStandard UL 300. Also approved by LPCB (LPS1223).
