AIR SUPPERVISORY LOW PRESSURE

ALARM TEST
Release air pressure gradually through valve provided
on check valve. When air pressure drops to 6 PSI
(0.42 Bar), the supervisory low pressure alarm must
be observed. Close the valve & observe that air
pressure has been established to 18 PSI (1.26 Bar),
the supervisory air pressure alarm must come to
normal condition. If required reset the release panel.

ANNUAL OPERATION TEST

Testing valve operation without causing water upply to
the deluge valve.
a. Close the main system valve controlling water
supply to the deluge valve.
b. Open the main drain valve provided on deluge inlet
side and allow water to drain. When water flow
from drain valve has stopped crack open the main
system valve and close the main drain valve partly
allowing the water pressure at inlet of
deluge valve to raise up to 1.4 Kg/Sq.Cm.(20 PSI)
and no more pressure is rising.
c. Actuate the solenoid valve from control panel as
per instruction of control panel manufacturer.
deluge valve must open and water flow must be
noticed through drip valve and through
solenoid valve. Close the main supply control valve
immediately and allow water to drain from
drain valve.
d. When water flow has stopped, reset the deluge
valve as per resetting procedure.

CAUTION
The steps b & c must be performed very quickly to
prevent water flow to riser.
NOTE: For abnormal condition of deluge valve refer
the data sheet No. HD235.
