This pilot operated externally reset valve also in- cludes an internal check diaphragm, which eliminates the need for a separate check valve being installed in the system riser. A. Viking Supervised Single-Interlocked Electric Release Preaction Systems Utilizing the Viking G-6000P Valve The system �i�ing is �ressurized with air or nitrogen as required by NFPA 13 �or su- �ervisory �ur�oses only. �iking recommends a minimum o� 15 to 20 PSI (1.0 to 1.4 bar) �or su�ervisory air �ressure �or single interlock systems (re�er to Table 2 �or double interlock systems). This �eature serves to �revent undetected leaks on the system �i�- ing network. I� the system �i�ing or a s�rinkler is damaged, the su�ervisory �ressure is reduced and a “low air” su�ervisory alarm is activated. Electrically released �reaction systems require a 24 �DC normally closed electric so- lenoid valve controlled by an a��roved release control �anel with com�atible detection system. In �ire conditions, when the detection system o�erates, the system control �anel energizes the solenoid valve o�en. When the solenoid o�ens, the �riming water is relieved �rom the internal �rime chamber assembly. The �rime chamber assembly colla�ses, and water �asses through the G-6000P �alve and internal check dia�hragm to the system �i�ing network. The entire s�rinkler system �ills with water.

4. INsTALLATIoN:A. General Installation Instructions

1. For �ro�er o�eration and a��roval, the valve must be installed in the vertical �osition as trimmed �rom the �actory. DO NOT modi�y the �actory assembled trim exce�t as described in this technical data sheet.

2. A 12” section o� �i�e is �rovided with the G-6000P Electric Release Preaction System Riser Assembly. Note the 12” section o� �i�e and 6” cou�ling are shi��ed loose and must be installed in the �ield. Prior to valve maintenance, this section o� �i�e may be removed to �rovide clearance �or li�ting the cover �rom the body.

3. The G-6000P �alve must be installed in an area not subject to �reezing tem�eratures or �hysical damage. I� required, �rovide a valve house (enclosure) with adequate heat around the valve and trim. Freezing tem�eratures will damage the G-6000P valve. When corrosive atmos�heres and/or contaminated water su��lies are �resent, it is the owner’s res�onsibility to veri�y com�atibility with the Model G-6000P �alve and associated equi�ment.

4. The �iking Model E-1 Accelerator should be installed at the location indicated in Figure 1 when required. NOTE: The accelera-tor would only be used �or Double Interlock Systems.

B. Air supply Design1. Air Com�ressor Size

�iking recommends a minimum o� 15 to 20 PSI (1.0 to 1.4 bar) o� su�ervisory �ressure be established within the �i�ing network �or single interlock systems (re�er to Table 2 �or double interlock systems). While lower �ressures are allowed by NFPA 13 �or single interlock �reaction systems, maintaining higher air �ressure within the system will assist maintenance �ersonnel in �inding and isolating inadvertent or accidental leaks within the system quickly.NFPA 13 requires the air su��ly to be ca�able o� �illing the entire s�rinkler system to its required air �ressure within 30 minutes. A common method o� sizing an air com�ressor is to use the �ollowing �ormula:

where:� = �olumeP = Required Air PressureT = Fill time (ty�ically 30 min.)7.48 = gal. / �t.314.7 = atmos�heric �ressure

Example:System volume as determined by table 1 = 750 gallonsRequired Air �ressure = 20 PSI (Single Interlock System)Com�ressor

Size (c�m) = � x P

7.48 x 14.7 x T

There�ore, the com�ressor shall be ca�able o� �roviding 5 c�m.

NoTE: �iking recommends tank-mounted air com�ressors �or Double Interlock Electric/Pneu-Lectric Release Preaction Systems.2. Nitrogen Cylinder Gas Su��ly (See Figure 1.)

Nitrogen may be used in �lace o� air com�ressors. Nitrogen is su��lied in �ressurized cylinders in various sizes and �ressures. Some o� the most common are 122 Cu. Ft. at 1,900 PSI (3455 L at 131 bar), 225 Cu. Ft. at 2,100 PSI (6,372 L at 145 bar), and 280 Cu. Ft. at 2,300 PSI (7,930 L at 159 bar). When nitrogen cylinders are used as a �rimary air su��ly, s�are cylinders should be �urnished and located at the valve location. To determine the a��roximate amount o� nitrogen to be �urnished, the �ollowing �ormula may be used:

S�ecial attention must be given to systems em�loying a bottled-gas su��ly. Because only a limited amount o� gas is available, small leaks (that normally would go unnoticed in systems being su��lied by mechanical com�ressors) can become critical to the system’s overall �er�ormance. I� the system is to �unction at tem�eratures as low as -40 °F (-40 °C), and, i� bottled nitrogen is the gas su��ly, the system is �articularly susce�tible to leakage, and s�ecial care should be taken to ensure against leaks throughout the entire system.

C. Air supply Installation1. Install the required air su��ly as described in section 4.B. The size o� the com�ressor and amount o� air required should be de-

termined in accordance with Tables 1 - 3. The air or nitrogen su��ly to the �reaction system must be clean, dry, and oil �ree.2. Automatic air su��lies must be regulated, restricted, and �rom a continuous source. A �iking air maintenance device should

be installed on each system equi��ed with a tank-mounted com�ressor, �lant air, or nitrogen. For com�ressors with a ca�ac-ity less than 5.5 �t3/min at 10 PSI (0.154 m3/min at 0.69 bar), NFPA 13 does not require an air maintenance device. In addition, an air maintenance device should not be used with riser mounted com�ressors as this can lead to com�ressor “short cycling”. �iking recommends that a tank-mounted com�ressor with air maintenance device be used. This can become critical whenThis can become critical when accelerators are installed on the system.

D. Pressure switch wiring;Wire the Alarm Pressure Switch (PS10) and Air Su�ervisory Switch (PS40), and adjust �ressure settings as shown in Figures 2 - 4.

B. Fire Condition (Double Interlock system):In a �ire condition, o�eration o� the detection system activates the �irst initiating circuit in the release control �anel, causing an alarm to activate. When a s�rinkler o�erates, air �ressure esca�es �rom the s�rinkler �i�ing. The air su�ervisory switch activates the second initiating circuit in release control �anel. When BOTH initiating circuits have been activated, the release control �anel energizes solenoid valve o�en. With the solenoid valve o�en, �rime water is drained �rom the �rime chamber, causing the G-6000P �alve to o�en, �illing the s�rinkler �i�ing with water. Water �rom the intermediate chamber o� the G-6000P �alve �ressurizes the sensing end o� the POR� causing the POR� to o�en. The o�en POR� �revents water �ressure �rom building in the �rime chamber should the solenoid close.

The �requency o� the ins�ections may vary due to contaminated water su��lies, corrosive water su��lies, corrosive atmos�heres, as well as the condition o� the air su��ly to the system. For minimum maintenance and ins�ection requirements, re�er to NFPA 25. In ad-dition, the Authority Having Jurisdiction may have additional maintenance, testing, and ins�ection requirements that must be �ollowed. �iking does not require internal ins�ection o� the valve as �art o� routine ins�ection and testing. Internal maintenance is generally only required �or valve re�airs and internal com�onent re�lacement.

wArNING: Any system maintenance that involves �lacing a control valve or detection system out o� service may eliminate the �ire �rotection ca�abilities o� that system. Prior to �roceeding, noti�y all Authorities Having Jurisdiction. Consideration should be given to em�loyment o� a �ire �atrol in the a��ected areas.

To Tri� Test the Electrically Controlled Preaction System:1. Noti�y the Authority Having Jurisdiction and those in the area a��ected by the test.2. Tri� the G-6000P �alve by �er�orming o�tion “a” or “b” below.

O�erate the electric release control system according to the manu�acturer’s instructions (�or the Single Interlock or Double Interlock System) and o�en the s�rinkler system test connection (�or Double Interlock Systems).and o�en the s�rinkler system test connection (�or Double Interlock Systems)..O�erate the emergency release valve.

3. The G-6000P �alve should o�en, �illing the s�rinkler system with water. Water �low alarms should o�erate.4. O�en the s�rinkler system main drain valve or s�rinkler system test valve to veri�y adequate �low.when Trip Testing is complete:5. Per�orm ste�s 1 through 16 o� section 4.F - PLACING THE SYSTEM IN SER�ICE to return the system to service.6. Noti�y the Authority Having Jurisdiction and those in the a��ected area that testing is com�lete.

7. MAINTENANCE�iking does not require an internal ins�ection o� the G-6000P �alve unless there is an indication o� damage to internal com�onents.

A. Taking the system out of service: (Re�er to Figure 5.)1. Close the water su��ly main control valve, �lacing the system out o� service.2. O�en the �low test valve located in the base o� the G-6000P �alve.3. Close the air (or nitrogen) su��ly to the �reaction system �i�ing.4. Close the �riming valve5. Relieve all air �ressure �rom the �reaction system �i�ing. I� the system has o�erated, o�en main drain valve to allow the

system to drain com�letely.B. removing the Cover from the Body: (Re�er to Figures 1 & 11.)
