GENERAL INFORMATION
The Amerex Industrial Dry Chemical Fire Suppression System is designed and has been tested to provide fire
protection for industrial operations categorized as Local Application (Overhead), Tankside, Total Flooding, Vehicle
Paint Spray Booth, and Open Front Paint Spray Booth hazards, It is manufactured by the Amerex Corporation of
Trussville, Alabama,
Amerex Industrial Systems are a pre-engineered type as defined in NFPA 17- Standard for Dry Chemical
Extinguishing Systems, The NFPA 17 definition states pre-engineered systems as "having predetermined flow
rates, nozzle pressures, and quantities of dry chemical." It also states that "limitations on hazards that are permitted
to be protected by these systems and piping and nozzle configurations are contained in the manufacturer's listed
installation and maintenance manual, which is part of the listing of the system."
It is essential that all installations, maintenance, and inspections of the Amerex Industrial System be performed in
compliance with this manual and NFPA 17, Those individuals responsible for the design. installation, setting
into service, malntainance and recharging of the Amerex Industrial Dry Chemical System must be trained by
Amerex and hold a current Amerex Certificate, All piping limitations, nozzle coverages, detector placements. etc,
have been proven and established through exhaustive testing by Underwriter's Laboratories, Inc.. Use of
components other than those referenced in this manual, or installations outside the limitations stated in this manual
is unacceptable,
U.L. Listing
The Amerex Industrial System is an Underwriters Laboratories and ULC Listed pre-engineered extinguishing unit.
The system has been evaluated in accordance with U.L. Standard 1254, Tests required for listing under this
standard involve fire tests under specific conditions involving a variety of Local Application. Total Flooding, or
Screening, Each test fire was allowed to reach its maximum intensity before agent was discharged, Each test was
repeated using both maximum and minimum piping, with variations in agent storage pressure to simulate maximum
and minimum temperature ratings, Each test fire was extinguished without splashing of the liquid fuel.
Design
The system is composed of an agent cylinder I discharge valve charged with Amerex ABC Dry Chemical and either
a Mechanical Release Module (MRM) or an Electrical Release Module (ERM), The quantity of detectors, fusible
links, nozzles, corner pulleys, pulley tees and manual pull stations will vary'depending on design,
The system operates either automatically if actuated by a detector or manually if actuated by a manual pull station,
Upon system operation, energy sources for the appliances are shut off immediately, The MRM (ERM) incorporates
mechanical and electrical provisions to facilitate the operation of auxilliary devices such as mechanical or electric /
gas valves and remote audible or visual signal devices,

COMPONENT DESCRIPTIONS
Agent Cylinder Assembly (Item 1): The agent cylinder is available in three configurations, Models
IS18ABC (PIN 16206), IS35ABC (PIN 16207). and IS45ABC (PIN 16208) are charged with AMEREX multi-
purpose ABC dry chemical agent. The cylinder assemblies are stored pressure designs with an operating
pressure of 350 psi (2413 KPa) at 700F (210C), The cylinders are constructed of welded steel to DOT 4BW
350 specifications, All three models are 9 inches (22,9 em) in diameter. The discharge valve. which is
common to all agent cylinders, is of rugged forged brass construction, The valve is equipped with a 350 psi
(2413 KPa) pressure gauge and a fusible element pressure relief plug, The valve controls agent discharge via
a spring loaded, internal sealing stem that must be depressed from the top of the valve to initiate agent
discharge, The operating temperature of this and other listed system components is -40oF to 1200F (-40oC to
490C) for Total Flood, -20oF to 1200F (.290C to 490C) for Tankside Local Application. Vehicle and Open Front
Paint Spray Booths. and 32"F to 120"F (OOC to 490C) for Overhead Local Application, Warning: Agent
cylinders are shipped from the AMEREX factory fully charged with a shipping plate installed on the top of the
valve to prevent accidental agent discharge and an anti-recoil plate on the valve outlet to redirect chemical
flow should an accidental discharge occur, Both of these olates must be removed at installation,

Mechanical Release Module (Item 5): Referred to as the
MRM, PIN 11977 is used to actuate the Agent Cylinder Discharge
Valve either automatically or manually by puncturing a Nitrogen
Cylinder, The pressure from the cylinder pneumatically actuates
the Pneumatic Control Head(s), which, in turn, opens the Agent
Cylinder Valve(s),
Automatic release of dry chemical agent is accomplished when a
Fusible Link Detector separates under a fire condition and
releases tension on the cable, This causes a spring-loaded
plunger to perforate the seal on the Nitrogen Cylinder and
releases nitrogen through the Actuation Hose/Piping Network to
the Pneumatic Control Head(s) I Discharge Valve(s),
Manual release of agent is accomplished by pulling on a Manual
Pull Station, which is connected to the Mechanical Release
Module by a cable,
The Mechanical Release Module is intended for indoor use only,
and is equipped with one Microswitch (PIN 12524) for electrical
signaling, power shutdown and other .auxiliary functions, An
additional three Microswitches may be added,

-+Mechanical Time Delay - MRM installations: (Item 18): This device
(PIN 15765) IS used with MRM-eqUlpped systems when a Discharge Time Delay
of 15 seconds is required (Refer to UL 1254 Standard for details), It is the first
component to connect into the MRM, and is packaged with its own mounting
clamp, In the event of system actuation, the Mechanical or Electrical Gas
Valves trip immediately, along with any electrical component connected the
Microswitch{es), but the high pressure nitrogen actuation gas will be delayed
before entering the Actuation Network, The reason for this is to allow for
exhaust fan run-down in certain paint spray booth applications, It is not needed
for ERM installations, since the ERM can electronically control the time delay
function, if required.

Vent Check (Item 19): The Vent Check, PIN 10173, is a safety
device that installs in the Pneumatic Control Head, Its function is to
bleed any slowly accumulating pressure that could cause the
Pneumatic Control Head to open the agent cylinder valve prematurely,
Examples of possible pressure sources include a slow leak in the
rupture disc of an N2 cylinder, or normal temperature-induced
expansion of the air and moisture trapped in the actuation network, A
vent check must be used on all pneumatically actuated systems, Use
of a pipe plug or other type of "stopper" is unacceptable and can lead to
system malfunctions, The body of the vent check is constructed of
machined brass, The inside of the vent check contains a spring and
nylon ball. Slowly accumulating gas can pass around the nylon ball and bleed to the atmosphere. However,
the rapid accumulation of actuation pressure from the N2 cylinder causes the ball to compress the spring and
seal on a tapered seat. blocking the bleed hole, Following an actuation. the vent check can be used to
exhaust residual actuation pressure by unseating the nylon ball (typically with a small piece of wire or the tip of
a ball point pen), In installations using multiple agent cylinders, the vent check is installed only in one
Pneumatic Control Head at the end of the actuation network,

CHAPTER 3, SYSTEM DESIGN
Section B: Hardware Selection and Limitations
Those individuals responsible for the design of the Amerex Industrial Dry Chemical System must be trained
by Amerex and hold a current Amerex Certificate,
\,1. Detection Network, MRM Installations:
'-';'."1:;'"
Optimum Fire Suppression System perfonnance depends on proper Detection Network design, This section
discusses the type of Detectors used, their selection, placement and design limitations,
The Amerex Industrial Fire Suppression System uses a continuous cable, Corner Pulleys, Detector Bracket,
Detector Linkage, Fusible Links, Conduit Offset. and a Tenninal Link Connector for the Detection Network,
The quantity of detectors to be used in an MRM system will depend on the ceiling area and height. Fusible Links of
the metal-alloy type (pin's 12326.12327, 12328, and 12329) can be spaced every 10 feet for smooth ceilings up to
12 feet high, The Job Quick Response Links (pin 16225, 16226, and 16227) can be spaced every 20 feet for
smooth ceilings up to 12 feet high, A detector is required at the interface of the duct and plenum, as well as
downstream of any obstruction (such as a damper) or ignition source (such as a fan), Consult NFPA 72 for
reductions in spacing for ceiling heights in excess of 12 feet, and for spacing guidelines when different arrangements
are encountered,
Note: Standard Response Fusible Links are NOT recommended for use in Paint Spray Booths because of their
slow reaction time, For this reason, Amerex recommends either the Job Quick Response Links, or the Electric
Thennal Detectors (see section on ERM Detection Networks), However, Standard Response Fusible Links may be
used if pennitled by the authority having jurisdiction,
Fusible Link Detectors are required in all hazard areas protected by the Amerex Industrial Fire Suppression Systems
for automatic system operation, The adaptation of Fusible Links to the Mechanical Release Module is described in
Chapter 4. A temperature survey must be perfonned to detennine the maximum ambient temperature of the hazard
survey, The selection of the Fusible Links should be made according to the temperature measured:

CHAPTER 3
SYSTEM DESIGN
Section A: Hazard Identification, Nozzle Coverages, and Piping Limitations
General
The Amerex Industrial Fire Suppression System may be used on a variety of hazards in many types of applications,
The guidelines listed in this chapter deal with the limitations and parameters of various system configurations, It is
the responsibility of the Certified Installer to ensure that the proper system components are being utilized, and that
the system meets the limitations and parameters listed in this chapter, Those individuals responsible for.lhe
design of the Amerex Industrial Dry Chemical System must be trained by Amerex and hold a current Amerex
Certificate, Amerex will not be responsible for system design, installation, or maintenance performed by any non-
certified person(s),
ABC Dry Chemical
It is necessary for the system designer to consider the combustible material found in the hazard area to ensure
proper protection, The agent used in the Amerex Industrial System is suitable for Class A, B, and C hazards, The
following are the hazard class definitions:
"A" Class - Ordinary solid carbonaceous combustibles, These include wood, paper, cloth. fiberglass, and plastics,
"8" Clasl!, - Flammable liquids and gases, These include paints, solvents, gasoline, oils, and hydraulic fluids,
"C" Class - Electrical appliances, These include computers, power generators, and power transformers,
ABC (monoammonium phosphate-based) is suitable for use with all "A", "B", and "C" Class hazards, Dry Chemical
Type extinguishing systems are inappropriate for the protection of Class D hazards. As per NFPA 17. pre-
engineered dry chemical systems are not approved for deep-seated or burrowing fires (such as ordinary
combustibles, where the agent cannot reach the point of combustion). or on chemicals that contain their own oxygen
supply (such as cellulose nitrate), Do not mix different types of agents. or agents from different manufacturers,
Chemical reactions may occur when inCompatible chemicals are mixed, Keep in mind that the agent used for each
system must be acceptable to the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ),
Choosing the Proper Type of System
It is necessary for the system designer to consider the physical characteristics and layout of the hazard area to
ensure proper protection, The hazard area must meet the criteria for a particular system for that system to be
effective. The hazard area must be protected in accordance with NFPA 17 for proper protection, The following
guidelines are used to determine the proper system for a hazard:
local Apollcatl,on - OVBr~Bad - This system is used for applying agent to an area from above the area, Typical
applications include dip tanks, power generators, and transformers, The maximum nozzle height for overhead
protection is 10 feet.
local &>'lllcalion - Tjlnk!,ld,\ - This system is used for applying agent across a hazard area from the side of the
area, Typical applications include, but are not limited to, dip tanks, quench tanks, and solvent tanks where overhead
obstructions are present.
.... Tolal Floodino. - This system is used to fill a volume with agent to protect any hazard within that volume, Typical
applications include hazardous storage containers and warehouses where sprinkler protection is unavailable, Total
flooding systems require a fixed enclosure to be present around the hazard area to allow the system to build up the
proper concentration of agent within the hazard area, Whether an enclosure is suitable for allowing total flooding
protection depends on the unclosable opening percentage of the enclosure, Unclosable opening percentage is
calculated as the area of the opening divided by the total area of the sides, top and bottom of the enclosure, Total
flooding protection is qualified for use on hazards whose enclosure has up to 5% unclosable opening, For
enclosures that have greater than 5% unclosable opening, total flooding protection is not qualified, Use Local
Application Overhead for these hazards,

..... Ooen Front Paint Sorav Booths:
The Amerex Open Front Paint Spray Booth Fire Suppression System is of the pre-engineered type as defined by
the NFPA Standard for Dry Chemical Extinguishing Systems, NFPA-17, The extinguishing systems described in this
manual are intended to be installed, maintained, and serviced in accordance with NFPA-17, The Amerex Open
Front Paint Spray Booth System has been evaluated by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) in accordance with the
specific test protocol found in the UL 1254 Standard (Pre-engineered Dry Chemical System Units),
Open Front Paint Spray Booths come in a variety of dimensions, but only one basic configuration, The basic
volumes of an Open Front Paint Spray Booth to be protected by the Amerex System consists of three main
components, They are:
1) Work Area - Where the part or equipment is painted with possibly flammable or combustible material (Le,
paints, finishes, lacquers, etc,), The Work Area is open on the front, but enclosed on the sides and top, with
a filter bank at the back,
2) Plenum - Exhaust chamber at the rear of the Work Area, Plenums utilize filters to trap overspray particles
that escape from the Work Area, Air is drawn in through the front of the booth, across the Work Area, and
back through the Plenum,
3) Duct - Fan-powered air channel that draws air through the Work Area, the Plenum, and finally out through
the Duct.
It is not necessary to shut the exhaust fan down upon system discharge; however. check with the authority having
jurisdiction, It is the responsibility of the installer to properly identify the configuration of the booth and to follow the
requirements of this manual in order to achieve proper fire suppression,
CAUTION:
NFPA 33 Standard for Spray Application Using Flammable and Combustible Materials classifies the interior
sections of paint spray booths, and certain areas adjacent to booth openings, as Class-l or Class-ll,
Dlvlsion-2 Locations. Electrical components of an Industrial Dry Chemical System, such as thermostats
located within these areas shall be rated for use in classified areas. and all wiring to these components shall
conform to the provisions of NFPA 70, National Electrical Code, for Class -I or Class-ll, Division-2 Locations,

The DIP Nozzle will protect either round or rectangular ducts up to 28 feet in length, Any change in duct
direction or additional length requires an additional DIP nozzle, The duct nozzle must be centered at the duct
entrance, pointed in the direction of air flow,

d) Temoerature Ranae:
The operating temperature range for Open Front Paint Spray Booth applications is
-20oF to 1200F (-290C to 490C).
e) Pioino Reauirements:
Piping diagrams include limitations on pipe length and fittings, System piping must be balanced,
Balanced piping is that in which the difference between the shortest actual pipe length from any 'I," TEE to
nozzle and the longest actual pipe length from any 11." TEE to nozzle does not exceed 10% of the longest actual
pipe length from any 11." TEE to nozzle, Piping runs from the 1" TEE to each of the 11." TEE's must be equal in
length, The number and type of fittings for all TEE to nozzle sections must be equal,
All piping must be Schedule 40, hot-dipped galvanized steel pipe, and all fittings must be 150 Ib, class,
minimum, Examples of acceptable fitting materials include hot-dipped galvanized malleable iron, ductile iron, or
steel. Couplings and unions may be used where necessary, and reducing bushings or reducing tees can be
used for changes in pipe diameter. Note: Black steel pipe and fittings can be used in relatively noncorrosive
atmospheres,
The following are the maximum dimensions of an Open Front Booth protected with a single IS35ABC, The
network consists of SCR, WA (TF-ABC), Plenum (TF-ABC), and Duct (DIP) nozzles,
