CONTAINER VALVE RGS-MAM-50

Description

Their function is to allow the discharge of extinguishing agent from the cylinders via the various types of
release mechanism.
The valve, designed and manufacture for FM-200® containers, is the result of extensive R&D and has
unique built-in safety features. The valve is factory fitted to the container.
The valve is provided with a pressure gauge, pressure switch and bursting disc which meet the DOT and
TPED requirements.

Each valve includes the following elements:

• Bust disc to relieve pressure in case of needed.

• Discharge port complete with safety cap
• Actuation port for connecting an electrical discharge head, complete with safety cap.
• Pneumatic connection (pilot port) for operation as a main valve in cylinder banks.
• Ports to connect the pressure gauge and/or the pressure switch.

Working:

The RGS-MAM-50 container valves are of a big flow and quick opening and they´re specially designed for
its use for fire protection.
They work through a piston device by differential pressure. The cylinder pressure is used with the valve to
create a positive force in the piston, sealing the closing of the valve.
The opening is made when the superior chamber is alleviated of pressure, moving the piston upwards,
leaving in this way that the gas flow leaves to the outsides.
The pressure of the superior chamber frees by a manual, pneumatic, pneumatic-manual, electrical solenoid
or electrical pyrotechno actuator.
Valve incorporates the following elements:
- Bursting disc to relieve pressure in case it´s necessary.
- Discharge port (outlet valve), adjusted to the safety cap.
- Activation port to install a manual, pneumatic, pneumatic-manual, electrical solenoid or electrical
pyrotechno actuator, adjusted to the safety cap.
- A pneumatic connection (pilot port) to work as a main valve in manifold system.

Safety:

User´s or installer´s of these valve must be sured that the use and application of this product meets all the
national and local standard. SIEX 2001, S.L. doesn´t give any guarranty for the function of any non-
approved use or application. Any personnel who may use this product must be familiar with these
instructions and any other product´s instruction or guide.
This is a high pressure valve to be used in fixed extinguishing installations with FM-200®.
The following instructions must be incorporated in every product guide or instruction. Not following any
instruction or warring included in this guide or any product label may cause a serious damage to human life,
materials or both of them.

CE and π marking:

SIEX 2001, S.L. as pressure equipment supplier for fixed extinguish systems, gets the CE marking of their
equipments following the standards about pressured systems 97/23/CE directive and p marking according
to requirements of the Transportable Pressured Equipment Board 99/36/CE. Both CE marking and p
marking belong to fixed fire protection system with gaseous agent, formed by a cylinder, valve, bursting disc
and valve protection elements.
The CE marking under evaluation procedure of conformity MODULO H1 of the Directive CE-PED-H1 (full
recognized of quality with special design and vigilance control of final verification).The p marking according
to the approval assessment process MODULO H1 of the Directive CE-TPED-H1D (full recognized quality
with design check and supervision of the final trial check).
Any other handling (bottle, valve, bursting disc or valve protection elements) not doing by SIEX will cancel
the marking.
Do not remove the (CE-0062) marking label placed on the valve, or p marking on the cylinder.

Obligatory performance requirements:

- Before assembly the valve to the cylinder, check the valve condition (cleanliness, thread condition),
please get informed about the standars and legislation about safety applicable to valves and gas.
- Most of defects come because of dust.
- Without a written authorization from our Technical Department it is forbidden any other application.
- Do not dismantle any valve.
- Do not lubricate.
- Do not remove the valve from the cylinder while there is pressure.
- Check that different components are in good conditions and that they are compatible with FM-200®,
also that pressure isn´t higher than the one specified in the bottle and finally, that the consume is correct.
- Neccesary precautions:
o Respect this instruction guide.
o Customer must be sured about the components functions after assembly.
o Customer must informed us about any incident and it´s your responsability to send back any
faulty valve to our installations in order to check it.
- Valves must be storaged in a stockroom to room temperature (not below -20º C or under 60º C) in the
original bottle.
