Description
Abort State
AC Normal State
(AC Normal Green LED ON) The system is in the AC Normal state when appropriate
AC power is being applied to the system.
Alarm State
(Alarm Red LED ON, Piezo pulsing) The alarm occurs when an input circuit
configured for alarm operation (typically a detector or contact device) has been
activated. The alarm state is a latching event in the Cheetah Xi 50. The operator will
be required to RESET the Cheetah Xi 50 in order for the panel to exit/clear the alarm
state.
Class A wiring
Input circuits capable of transmitting an alarm signal during a single open or a nonsimultaneous single ground fault on a circuit conductor shall be designated as Style D
or Class A. Similarly, output circuits capable of activating during a single open or a
non-simultaneous ground fault on a circuit conductor shall be designated as Style Z or
Class A. Commonly referred to as redundant or 4-wire connection.

Description
Class B wiring
Input circuits incapable of transmitting an alarm signal beyond the location of the fault
condition (listed for Class A wiring above) shall be designated as Style B or Class B.
Similarly, output circuits incapable of operating beyond the location of the fault
condition shall be designated as Style Y or Class B. This manual refers to 2-wire
connections as Class B wiring.
Initiating Device
Initiating Device
Circuit
A circuit to which automatic or manual initiating devices are connected where the
signal received does not identify the individual device operated. This manual
interchanges the terms initiating device circuit and input circuit.
Normal State
(Trouble Yellow LED OFF) The system is in the normal state when the power supply
and all circuits are configured properly, connected, and responding properly. The
system remains in normal state until a trouble condition occurs.
Notification
Appliance
A fire alarm system component such as a bell, horn, speaker, light, or textual display
that provides audible, tactile, or visible output, or any combination thereof. The
device notifies building occupants of system status. This manual interchanges the
terms notification and audible appliance.
Notification
Appliance Circuit
Non
Limited
A circuit designation given for wiring purposes. The amount of current flowing
through the circuit is unlimited vs. being limited, or power-limited. AC power and
Battery wiring is Non Power-limited.
Power-
Power-Limited
A circuit designation given for wiring purposes. The amount of current flowing
through the circuit is limited (typically by fuse) vs. being unlimited, or non-powerlimited. The addressable loops and output circuits are power-limited. The circuit has
a maximum power that flows through it or it current limits and opens the circuit.
Pre-Discharge
State
(Pre-Discharge Red LED ON, Piezo pulsing) Pre-Discharge occurs when an input
circuit configured for alarm operation has been activated and the Suppression PreDischarge type is satisfied. The Pre-Discharge state is a latching event in the
Cheetah Xi 50. The operator will be required to RESET the Cheetah Xi 50 in order for
the panel to exit/clear the Pre-Discharge state.
Release State
(Release Red LED ON, Piezo pulsing) Release occurs when an input circuit
configured for manual release operation has been activated or the Pre-Discharge
automatic countdown has expired with no Abort input active. The release state is a
latching event in the Cheetah Xi 50. The operator will be required to RESET the
Cheetah Xi 50 in order for the panel to exit/clear the release state.
Supervisory
State
(Supervisory Yellow LED ON, Piezo Warble) The supervisory state occurs upon
activation of a supervisory input circuit. The supervisory state is non-latching and will
follow the status of the supervisory input contact.
Trouble State
(Trouble Yellow LED ON, Piezo Constant) The trouble state occurs upon any
detectable condition which could impair system operation including connection
problems, ground faults, hardware problems, power problems, or configuration
problems. Certain trouble conditions are latching; others allow the system to reset
upon trouble condition removal. Depending upon the type of trouble condition, the
system may or may not remain operational. When the system is in trouble state, it is
not in the normal state.

The NAC circuit field wiring resistance is limited by the amount of anticipated load. Many local authorities
require a voltage drop calculation be performed to demonstrate the lowest voltage present at the last device.
The designer shall determine the resistance of the wire specified and distance for the installation needs.
From this information, they can determine the total resistance for the circuit. The following chart provides
the maximum field wiring resistance for total device current that can also be used as a tool:

The photo sensor provides peer-to-peer digital protocol for reliable fast
communications. The sensor includes a tri-color LED for instant indication of
device status. An Acclimate feature is defaulted ON to provide optimum fire
detection response. This feature allows sensors to respond to the particular
environment. Its operating parameters are maintained within non-volatile
RAM in the sensor. The sensors should be spaced at 30apart for smooth
ceiling/low airflow as per NFPA.

5.26 DAY/NIGHT/HOLIDAY
SCHEDULE
If smoke sensors are located in a hazard area that is
much more active during typical operation hours,
and quiet during off hours, it may be optimum to
utilize the Day/Night/Holiday Schedule. This option
provides the ability to have two separate alarm
thresholds; one less sensitive alarm threshold during
operational hours, one more sensitive alarm
threshold during non-operational hours. Each input
sensor has two alarm sensitivity thresholds. Night
Alarm Level is always used on all sensors. Day
Alarm Level is only used if Day/Night /Holiday
Schedule
are
selected.
If Day/Night/Holiday is selected as active, the On
and Off times must be configured and the holidays
need also be configured.
The panel can be
configured for twenty holiday dates which must be
maintenanced yearly. On non-holiday dates, a start
time (hour AM/PM and minute) and stop time are
configured for alarm sensitivity changes. Sensors
enabled for this will change to Night Alarm Level
when the start time is reached and revert back to
Day Alarm Level when the stop time is exceeded.
On holidays, the system will remain at Night Alarm
Level.
Note: the Acclimate feature is not used when
day/night thresholds are used.
5.28 DIAGNOSTICS
There are seven diagnostic screens available. Refer
to Servicing section for a full description on this
operation.

OPERATION
5.32 HISTORY
There is a 3,200 event history buffer in the
CHEETAH XI 50 Control Panel. The buffer is
continuously cycling. The first record/event in, will
be first out (upon exceeding 3,200 events). The only
exception to this rotating buffer is when an Alarm
event occurs. Since the first alarm event is critical
for identification of fire initiation, the buffer will keep
the first alarm event and then STOP after the next
999 events are recorded.
The event buffers can be viewed in the following
different methods:
Step Alarm Current Alarm events only
Step Super Current Supervisory events only
Step All All current events displayed
Old History (F5) Old History events (pre-reset, all
3200). Toggles between all and current. Press Step
all to display and event, then press F5 to toggle
between CURRENT and OLD history.
The Step and +/- buttons each display current
events. Current events are those that have taken
place since the last Reset of the panel. Old History
will display the entire 3,200 event history buffer
including those previous to the reset. This history is
battery backed. If power is removed from the
system, the history is still saved (held by the lithium
coin cell battery).
History can also be viewed by the following

VOLTAGES
The main control board has two primary test points located in the lower left corner of the board:
TP1 = COM
This test point should be used when making DC voltage measurements on the control board. Connect the
voltmeter ground lead to this terminal, then touch the positive lead to the point under test. This is the ground
reference for all points on the control board
TP2 = 24V
This test point is the + side for the main controller 24VDC power buss (connect the voltmeter ground to TP1).
Check this point if AC power is applied, but the system does not seem to operate properly.
LOOP VOLTAGE
Nominally 24VDC with a data communication pulse that drops down to a 0-5VDC level. During normal
operation, a meter should measure anywhere from 0-24VDC. It should not measure a constant 0VDC.
GROUND FAULT, TP1 to Chassis
With a normal panel and no ground fault, this voltage is 2.17 VDC nominal for level 1, 5V for level 2. If a
ground fault is present, this voltage will sway in either direction. Use the Diagnostic screen to troubleshoot
the ground fault. Ground fault detection impedances are 60K ohm between power ground and chassis ground
or 1M ohm between main power and chassis ground.

INTRODUCTION
Fikes Design, Installation and Maintenance Manual for our ECARO-25 fire suppression systems incorporates the
latest design requirements found in NFPA Standard 2001, as well as the most up-to-date information available for
our products.
This manual has been provided for those individuals that are responsible for the design, installation, and/or
maintenance of Fike ECARO-25 hardware and systems. Others such as architects, engineers, sales and
marketing personnel, etc. will find the information herein useful as well.
Fike utilizes an Engineered System concept when applying ECARO-25 These systems are designed within
the basic parameters outlined in this manual, and their performance is evaluated with the assistance of the Fike
Flow Calculation Program.
Tests have shown that the Fike Flow Calculation Program can accurately determine the expected performance of
the ECARO-25 system when it is discharged. This provides the system designer with the maximum degree of
flexibility possible as it pertains to flow imbalance, tee splits, piping configurations, etc.
Fike ECARO-25 systems must be installed and maintained in accordance with the limitations established NFPA
Standard no. 2001, Clean Agent Extinguishing Systems, as well as the limitations set forth by Underwriters
Laboratories Inc. / Underwriters Laboratories Inc. Canada and FM Approvals. The information contained within
this manual defines these limitations in detail.
Enough information is incorporated into this manual to allow those responsible for designing Fike ECARO-25
systems to properly do so, and for the parties responsible for verifying the system design to determine if the
design parameters have in deed been met.
The data contained within this manual is provided for informational purposes only. Fike believes this data to be
accurate; however, all dimensions are approximate and this document is presented without any guarantee or
warranty whatsoever.
Any questions concerning the information presented in this manual should be addressed to:

SECTION 1 EQUIPMENT
This section covers the hardware utilized by Fike ECARO-25 Systems, including the optional items that are
available. All of the information contained herein is believed to be accurate and up-to-date. However, it should
be noted that all dimensions shown are approximate and Fike reserves the right to make adjustments as
necessary.
1.1
AGENT
The extinguishing agent used in Fike Suppression Systems is Pentafluoroethane more commonly known by its
ASHRAE designation: HFC-125. HFC-125 is a colorless, odorless, liquefied compressed gas. (See the Physical
Properties Table below.) It is stored as a liquid, but dispensed into the hazard as a colorless, electricallynonconductive, gaseous vapor due to its relatively low boiling point. HFC-125 has been tested and verified to be
safe for use in occupied spaces when used as specified in the U.S. EPA Significant New Alternative Policy
(SNAP) rules. Tests have proven that exposure to HFC-125 is safe and effective in extinguishing fires at low
concentrations; most of which are well below the EPAs maximum exposure levels. HFC-125 is approved for use
in occupied areas up to an 11.5% concentration by volume with a mandated egress time of 5 minutes or less.
1.2
PERFORMANCE
HFC-125s mechanism of extinguishing fires is considered active. Its primary action is through physically cooling
the fire at the molecular level. HFC-125 belongs to the same class of agents used in refrigeration and as such, is
an efficient heat transfer agent. HFC-125 removes the thermal energy from the fire to the extent where the
combustion reaction cannot sustain itself. Additionally, there is a chemical action that provides a secondary
means of extinguishing the fire. Trace amounts of free radicals are released into the fire thereby inhibiting the
chain reaction of combustion. HFC-125 does not significantly reduce oxygen levels and is safe for use in
occupied spaces in accordance with the U.S. EPA guidelines. HFC-125 can be removed from the protected
space by simple means of ventilation after discharge.

SECTION 1 EQUIPMENT
1.4
Fike ECARO-25 Systems must be designed and installed in accordance with the requirements outlined in this
manual, and in accordance with the requirements of the Standard for Clean Agent Extinguishing Systems, NFPA
2001, latest edition. ECARO-25 systems are primarily used to protect hazards that are enclosed; this provides a
means to establish and maintain an effective extinguishing concentration. Typical hazards that can be protected
include the following:
Telecommunications facilities
ECARO-25 systems shall NOT be used on fires involving the following materials:
Chemicals or mixtures of chemicals that are capable of rapid oxidation in the absence of air. Examples
include Cellulose Nitrate and Gunpowder.
Reactive metals such as Lithium, Sodium, Potassium, Magnesium, Titanium, Zirconium, Uranium, and
Plutonium
Chemicals capable of undergoing auto-thermal decomposition. Examples include Organic Peroxides and
Hydrazine.
1.4.1
EXPOSURE
Although HFC-125 is considered to be non-toxic, the EPA has established the guidelines controlling the amount
(concentration) of agent provided for the protected area. Based on PBPK modeling, the EPA allows HFC-125 for
use where people are normally present (normally occupied spaces) up to concentration of 11.5 % by volume with
exposure limited to 5 minutes or less.
WARNING:
The discharge of clean agent systems to extinguish a fire can result in potential hazard to
personnel from the natural form of the clean agent or from the products of combustion that result
from exposure of the agent to the fire or hot surfaces. Unnecessary exposure of personnel either
to the natural agent or to the products of decomposition shall be avoided. The requirement for
pre-discharge alarms and time delays are intended to prevent unnecessary exposure to humans
where their presence is not critical to the operation of the area being protected. Suitable
safeguards shall be provided to ensure prompt evacuation of (and prevent entry into) protected
areas after discharge.

1.4.2.2 NOT NORMALLY OCCUPIED SPACES
ECARO-25 systems can be designed for concentrations exceeding the LOAEL provided that any personnel in the
area can escape within 30 seconds.
NOTE: Fike does not recommend ECARO-25 systems to be used in any normally occupied spaces where the
design concentration required is above 11.5%.
1.4.3
TOXICITY
With a database in excess of 70 toxicity tests, ECARO-25 has been extensively tested and approved by
institutions and agencies around the world. The LC50 toxicity rating for ECARO-25 is greater than 700,000 ppm.
When you consider that most ECARO-25 systems are designed for concentrations providing 80,000 ppm or less,
it is evident that ECARO-25 is safe to use.
ECARO-25 will decompose to form halogen acids when exposed to extremely high temperatures. The formation
of these acids is minimized by using fast-acting Fike detection and control systems, and proper system design
and installation of the piping system to deliver the agent quickly. The generation of by-products from the ECARO25 discharge will be minimal when properly applied.

SECTION 1 EQUIPMENT
1.4.4
NOISE
The high-pressure discharge from the nozzle(s) of a system can cause noise that is loud enough to be startling,
but ordinarily insufficient to cause injury.
1.4.5
TURBULENCE
The high velocity discharge from the nozzle(s) can be sufficient enough to dislodge substantial objects located
directly in the discharge path. Enough general turbulence may be created within the enclosure to move
unsecured paper and light objects.
1.4.6
CHILLING
Direct contact with the vaporizing agent being discharged from the nozzle(s) will have a chilling effect on objects
and can cause cryogenic burns to the skin. The liquid phase vaporizes rapidly when mixed with air, thus limiting
the hazard to the immediate vicinity of the discharge nozzle.
1.4.7
VISIBILITY
Although ECARO-25 is odorless, discharging the agent into a humid atmosphere may cause a reduction in
visibility for a brief period of time due to condensation of water vapor normally present in the room atmosphere.
1.4.8
PRESSURE
The normal operating pressure of a Fike ECARO-25 clean agent extinguishing system unit is 360 psig @ 70oF
(24.8 bar @ 21oC). This is accomplished by adding a charge of nitrogen to the ECARO-25 agent. Since these
are pressurized vessels, care must be observed when handling, filling and transporting storage containers. The
anti-recoil devices (baffle plugs or baffle plates) MUST be in place whenever the charged container is removed
from the piping network.

The Agent Storage Container is a steel pressure vessel designed to hold the ECARO-25 under pressure until it is
discharged. All Fike ECARO-25 Containers are suitable for use at storage temperatures of +32oF to +120oF (0oC
to 48.9oC). Each container is manufactured in strict accordance with Department of Transportation / Transport
Canada (DOT / TC) regulations and undergoes extensive pressure and leak testing before shipment to the field.
All Fike ECARO-25 Containers are shipped from the factory fitted with an anti-recoil device installed in the
discharge valve outlet in accordance with DOT / TC requirements. The anti-recoil device ensures the contents
of the pressurized container will be released in a slow, controlled, rate of discharge if the valve is opened during
the shipping and handling process. ECARO-25 Containers are filled with agent within the allowable range of 25
lbs/ft3 to 56 lbs/ft3 (400 kg/m3 to 896 kg/m3) of container volume in accordance with DOT / TC requirements. All
containers are filled in 1 lb. (0.5 kg) increments to the user-specified level defined for each container. Each
ECARO-25 container is super-pressurized with dry nitrogen to a working pressure of 360 psig at 70oF (24.8 bar at
21oC) after filling. Fike ECARO-25 Containers are available in twelve different sizes (capacities). Each container
includes a discharge outlet valve, fill valve, pressure gauge, mounting bracket or mounting strap(s), agent release
module, and provisions for the accessories available for that particular container size and/or style.
The Discharge Outlet Valve is a rupture disc (metal diaphram), pressure operated device that allows the agent to
be released from the container and into the protected space via the associated piping network and nozzle(s). The
Discharge Outlet Valve can be either welded or threaded to the Agent Storage Container (except for the 125i &
215i containers available with welded valves only).
Activation of the Discharge Outlet Valve is accomplished by one of two methods:
Standard operation of the valve is accomplished by a Gas Cartridge Actuator (GCA) that produces the
pressure wave (energy) necessary to open the valve. The GCA is an electrically operated device that is
activated by a signal from the control panel or the optional manual actuator device.
If the contents of the container are subjected to temperatures exceeding 120oF (48.9oC), the pressure
associated with the thermal expansion of the agent will be sufficient to open the valve automatically.
NOTE: The Discharge Valve also fulfills the pressure relief valve requirements in accordance with DOT / TC
regulations.
1.5.1
RUPTURE DISC
The Rupture Disc is the heart of the Fike ECARO-25 Discharge Outlet Valve. Each is manufactured to exacting
tolerances and standards by Fike to ensure their reliability and performance. The Rupture Disc is a pre-scored
metal membrane formed into a domed shape and scored with four pressure-relief lines across the domed surface
at right angles to each other. When the pressure in the container rises to the pre-determined level, the rupture
disc will open along the score lines thus allowing the contents to be released into the piping network. The four
segments of the rupture disc fold back during discharge to produce the minimum amount of flow restriction
possible.

NAMEPLATE
All Fike Containers are provided with a nameplate that provides the following information that is specific to each
container:
All containers filled at the factory, or at an approved Initial Fill Station, will be
provided with a nameplate bearing the UL / ULC and FM markings.
1.6.2
SIPHON TUBE
Siphon Tubes are provided in all containers that are suitable for mounting in the horizontal and upright (valve up)
positions. The purpose of the siphon tube is to ensure the complete dispersal of suppression agent from the
container to the protected space(s).
125i and 215i Inverted Containers (P/N 70-041 and 70-077) do not have siphon tubes.
WARNING: DO NOT install containers with siphon tubes in the inverted (valve down) position. This will result in a
system failure due to the majority of the suppression agent
remaining in the container after activation.
1.6.3
Fike Containers equipped with 2-1/2 (65 mm) and 3 (80 mm) discharge
outlet valves are supplied with a Grooved Coupling and a short (grooved
x threaded) nipple to facilitate connection of the container to the

All Fike Containers are provided with a Pressure Gauge Adapter (P/N 70-1574)
installed in the 1/8 NPT (4 mm) pressure gauge port of the container. This
device allows the pressure gauge to be replaced without having to remove the
agent first. The Pressure Gauge Adapter works by allowing a small, controlled
amount of leakage past its internal threads. This provides enough flow to
operate the pressure gauge while being small enough to allow an operator to
change the devices on the downstream side safely.
CAUTION: When replacing a gauge on a pressurized container, DO NOT allow
the pressure port to remain open (disconnected) for an extended
period of time. A significant quantity of agent could be lost from the
container.

CHECK VALVES
Check Valves are required for all containers connected in a manifold arrangement. NFPA 2001 requires all
containers connected to a manifold have an automatic, mechanical, means of preventing agent loss from an open

SECTION 2 DESIGN
This section of the manual will detail the steps necessary to design a Fike ECARO-25 System within the
limitations established by our UL / ULC listing and FM approval. The first part of this chapter will guide the user
through the process of analyzing the requirements of the hazard(s) to be protected and determining the amount of
agent needed. The balance of the chapter will then address the specific hardware and system design
requirements to install an ECARO-25 system.
2.1
The Hazard Type generally falls into one of the three following categories, and sometimes a combination thereof.
The designer must be aware of the Hazard Type to determine the correct design concentration, agent quantity,
etc. The two Hazard Types are:
Class A (wood, paper, cloth anything that leaves an ash residue after combustion)
Class C (electrical)
ECARO-25 system can be used to project Class B (flammable liquids) hazards. Consult the Fike Product Support
group with your specific questions regarding system design
2.2
The following is a guideline to be used in determining the proper agent concentration percentage for the hazard(s)
being protected.
2.2.1
Systems that incorporate the use of a Detection & Control System for the purpose of automatically discharging
the ECARO-25 into the protected space can be designed for an 8% concentration.
2.2.2
Systems that DO NOT incorporate the use of a Detection & Control System for the purpose of automatically
discharging the ECARO-25 into the protected space MUST be designed for an 8.7% concentration. This is due
to the slower activation times that could be expected from a manually activated system and the potential for a
larger fire size to be extinguished.

SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
The designer must be aware of the occupancy of the hazard(s) being protected as they complete their evaluation
of the project and make adjustments or recommendations as necessary.
2.3.1 NORMALLY OCCUPIED SPACES
Protected spaces that are considered to be Normally Occupied (e.g. computer room, clean room, etc.) can be
designed for concentrations shown in Table 2.3.1 that correspond to a maximum permitted human exposure time
of 5 minutes.

SECTION 2 DESIGN
2.4 DETERMINE AGENT QUANTITY
The following steps are necessary to determine the amount of HFC-125 needed to protect the hazard(s).
2.4.1
The first step in designing the ECARO-25 system is to determine the volume of the space(s) being protected.
The volume is calculated by multiplying the length x width x height of the space. Sometimes it is necessary to
divide the protected space into smaller segments due to the configuration of the space. Each smaller segment is
then added together to determine the total volume.
As a general rule, the volume used to calculate the quantity of ECARO-25 required should be based on the empty
(gross) volume. Additional considerations include:
The volume taken by solid, non-permeable, and non-removable objects can be deducted from the
protected volume
Any volume that is open to the space being protected must be added (i.e. non-dampered ductwork,
uncloseable openings, etc.)
NOTE: Any object that can be removed from the protected space CANNOT be deducted from the volume.
2.4.2
The next step in designing the ECARO-25 system is to determine the base quantity of agent required to provide
the desired concentration within the hazard(s) being protected. This calculation must be based upon two
important criteria: the lowest expected ambient temperature and the design concentration required to protect this
type of hazard.
To determine the agent quantity needed to produce the design concentration level, the Hazard Volume is
multiplied by the factors as determined in the formula below.

ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
Additional quantities of agent are required through the use of design factors to compensate for special conditions
that may affect the ability of the system to extinguish the fire. Therefore, additional agent may be necessary for
either of the following situations: Tee Design Factor or altitude adjustments. The system designer MUST be
aware of these criteria and make adjustments as necessary.
2.4.3.1 TEE DESIGN FACTOR
Where a single agent supply is used to protect multiple hazards, a design factor must be applied to compensate
for the number of tees within the piping network, as shown in the following table.

The Tee Design Factor is determined for each hazard protected in accordance with the following.
NOTE:
Starting from the point where the piping enters the hazard that is located farthest (hydraulically) from
the supply tank(s), count the number of tees in the direct flow path as it returns to the supply tank(s).
Do Not include the tees that are used in the manifold (if applicable).
Any tee within the hazard that supplies agent to another hazard shall be included in the tee count.
After counting the tees, compare that number to the chart above to determine the Tee Design Factor.
Apply the Tee Design Factor to the Agent Quantity calculations by multiplying the Tee Design Factor
by the amount of agent previously determined in the volumetric calculations.
If you are not sure which hazard is farther away, count the tees in the flow path from each hazard and
use the highest number.

SECTION 2 DESIGN
2.4.3.4 LEAKAGE
The physical characteristics of the protected space(s) must be taken into consideration when designing an
ECARO-25 system. The area of uncloseable openings must be kept to a minimum to prevent loss of agent into
adjacent areas thus reducing the effectiveness of the system to extinguish a fire. Simply adding more agent is
neither practical, nor effective. Therefore, all openings must be sealed or equipped with automatic closures.
Forced-air ventilating systems shall be shut down or closed automatically where their continued operation would
adversely affect the ability of the system to extinguish a fire. Completely self-contained recirculating ventilation
systems are not required to be shutdown, but recommended. Dampers should be of the low smoke or 100%
closing type to ensure an adequate seal and prevent leakage. Where the ventilation system is not shutdown or
dampered, the volume of the associated ductwork and ventilation unit(s) shall be considered as part of the total
hazard volume when determining the amount of agent needed.
All enclosures must be sealed in order to achieve and maintain the desired concentration for a period of time that
is sufficient for emergency personnel to respond. Under normal circumstances, the agent will extinguish the fire
rapidly, thereby limiting the potential for fire damage and the creation of dangerous products of decomposition.
Therefore, it is critical that the protected space is constructed to prevent any leakage from the protected space(s).
The general guidelines for controlling leakage from the hazard are as follows:
Doors All doors entering and/or exiting from the perimeter of the protected space(s) should have
drop seals on the bottom, weather-stripping around the jams, latching mechanisms and door closure
hardware. In addition, double doors should have a weather-stripped astragal to prevent leakage
between the doors, and a coordinator to assure the proper sequence of closure. Doors that cannot
be kept normally closed shall be equipped with door closure hardware and magnetic door holders that
will release the door(s) upon a system alarm.
Ductwork All ductwork leading into, or out of, the protected space(s) should be isolated with sealed,
low smoke dampers. Dampers should be spring-loaded or motor-operated to provide 100% air
shutoff upon activation.
Air Handling/Ventilation It is recommended that all air handling/ventilation units be shutdown upon
alarm to prevent leakage into other areas. If the air handling unit(s) cannot be shutdown, the volume
of the associated ductwork must be added to the total volume of the protected space, and agent must
be added to compensate for the additional volume.
Penetrations All holes, cracks, gaps or penetrations of the perimeter walls defining the hazard
area(s) must be sealed. Less obvious areas of leakage include wire trays, pipe chases, and floor
drains. Make certain that floor drains have traps filled with a non-evaporating product to prevent
leakage.
Walls All perimeter walls that define the hazard area(s) should extend slab-to-slab, and each should
be sealed top and bottom on the interior side. Where walls do not extend slab-to-slab, bulkheads will
have to be installed to achieve the desired sealing characteristics.
Block Walls Porous block walls must be sealed, or the ECARO-25 agent will leak through.
A room integrity fan pressurization test is an accepted means of determining how long the protected space will
hold the agent (concentration) after a discharge. In conjunction with testing the integrity of the room, the test has
a program that predicts the performance of the ECARO-25 system so that the Authority Having Jurisdiction can
determine if the system has been designed and installed properly.
The room integrity fan pressurization test must be performed in accordance with the manufacturers requirements,
and NFPA 2001, latest edition.

SECTION 2 DESIGN
2.5
The distribution of ECARO-25 agent to the protected area(s) may be accomplished through one, or more, of the
following piping distribution methods:
Engineered System
The method used may depend on several factors including: installation time, the quantity of agent involved,
economic factors, number of hazard areas, available space for placement of storage containers and customer
preferences. Larger projects may require more than one method to address the challenges presented.
Therefore, the designer should be familiar with each of these methods, and the advantages and disadvantages of
each for any particular application.
2.5.1
Engineered Systems are more complex and flexible configurations that enable the designer to create a custom
piping network to suit the individual needs of the project. The piping configurations can be balanced or
unbalanced, and the flow splits within the system can vary from point to point. This requires a computerized
hydraulic flow calculation to model the system and verify its performance in accordance with NFPA 2001
requirements prior to installation. Therefore, this design concept gives the designer a great deal more flexibility to
work with, but it will generally take longer to design these systems. In order to perform hydraulic flow calculations
you must have a copy of the Fike ECARO-25 Flow Calculation Software Version 3.00.0000, or higher.
Engineered Systems can be designed with the containers arranged in modular, central storage or manifolded
arrangements as described below.
2.5.2
MODULAR SYSTEMS
Modular Systems can be defined as a design concept where the containers are located throughout or around the
protected area(s). This keeps the discharge piping requirements down to a minimum, but increases the electrical
materials necessary to reach each individual container location.
A modular approach is often desirable (or necessary) for larger applications to reduce the amount of piping
materials and installation labor necessary to complete the installation. In some instances, this approach will be
necessary in order to make the system flow the agent required within the design guidelines identified for an
Engineered System.
2.5.3
Central Storage Systems can be defined as a design concept where the containers are located in one location,
and piped to the protected space(s) from this location. This concept often requires more discharge piping, but it
decreases the electrical materials necessary to reach the singular container(s) location. This concept may be
more difficult to design due to the increased piping runs involved, and the installation labor will tend to be more
costly.
However, the installation may be more aesthetically desirable to the customer, and it is generally easier to
maintain and service.

CONTAINER SELECTION
Generally, the selection of containers is determined by the amount of ECARO-25 required vs. the approved fill
ranges for the various container sizes. However, additional factors such as the System Design Concept,
container storage location, and flow calculation limitations may have an impact on this decision as well.
2.6.1
All containers must be filled within the allowable fill range mandated by DOT / TC and UL Standard 2166. The
acceptable fill range for these containers is based upon a minimum fill density of 25 lbs./ft3 (400 kg/m3) of
container volume, to a maximum of 56 lbs./ft3 (896 kg/m3), in 1 lb. (0.5 kg) increments.

SECTION 2 DESIGN
CONTAINER LOCATION(S)
The type and location(s) of the storage container(s) is based on several considerations.
1) Agent Quantity The agent storage container(s) selected must have the capacity to store the total
quantity of agent required for the system.
2) System Type An area might be protected by several smaller containers with independent nozzles,
or it might be protected by a large capacity container that is discharged through a piping network of
2, 4, or more nozzles.
3) Extent of Piping In systems having an unusually large piping system, the pressure drop may be
too great for the location or configuration selected. In some cases, it may be necessary to relocate
the container(s) closer to the hazard area(s) being protected. It may also be necessary to subdivide the piping network into smaller configurations with separate containers.
4) Floor Space Consideration should be given to the space available to install the container. For
example, a 900 lb. (408 kg) system could be stored in (2) 650 lb. (267 L) containers located on the
floor. However, if floor space is a problem, the system could be designed to utilize (6) 215 lb. (90 L)
Inverted Containers mounted on the wall(s).
5) Cost Factors In the example above, the (2) 650 lb. (267 L) containers would be less expensive
than the (6) 215 lb. (90 L) containers.
6) Serviceability In general, the larger the container, the more difficult it will be to remove it from the
system for maintenance and service. However, smaller containers that are located in a subfloor
space, under a computer bank, or above the ceiling over the same computer bank can be difficult
as well.
7) Floor Loading This factor must be considered when selecting a container location. Excessive
floor loading may require relocating the container(s) to a more suitable location.
8) Proximity ECARO-25 Containers should be located as close as possible to, or within the
hazard(s) that they protect.
9) Environmental Effects Do not located containers where they would be subject to physical
damage, exposure to corrosive chemicals, or harsh weather conditions
2.6.2
Fike ECARO-25 systems are UL / ULC listed and FM approved for a service temperature range of +32oF to
+120oF (0oF to 48.9oC). However, the system designer should be aware that the computer flow program for
Engineered Systems is based on an ambient temperature of 70oF (21oC). Therefore, the container storage
temperature range for an Engineered System must be in the 60oF to 80oF (16oC to 27oC) range. At temperatures
outside of this range, the system may not supply the desired quantity of agent.

2.7
NOZZLE SELECTION
The selection of nozzles is generally determined by the amount of ECARO-25 required (flow rate) vs. the flow rate
capabilities of the nozzle(s). Additional factors such as area coverage, nozzle placement, discharge path
obstructions, etc. will have an impact on this decision as well.
2.7.1 SYSTEM TYPE
The system designer must take into account the following for Engineered Systems, multiple nozzle, flow rate, pipe
size, and tee split variations are possible.
2.7.2 NOZZLE FLOW RATE
All ECARO-25 Systems are required to discharge the agent into the protected space within a 6-to-10 second
time window. Therefore, the number of nozzles provided for any area must be capable of delivering the flow rate
required to accomplish this timing criteria.
Each nozzle size is capable of delivering a certain range of flow rates. To determine the number and size of
nozzles required for each area, use the flow rate table below. Note this information is provided for estimation
purposes only. The final system design MUST be verified using the Fike ECARO-25 Flow Calculation Program.

SECTION 2 DESIGN
Example No.1: A system supplying 1,300 lbs. has a system flow rate requirement of 130 lbs./sec. (1,300 lbs.
10 sec. = 130 lbs./sec.). Refer to the Nozzle Flow Rate Table. The highest possible flow rate for any nozzle size
is 35 lbs./sec. Therefore, a minimum of four (4) 2 NPT nozzles will be required.
Example No. 2: A system supplying 590 kg has a system flow rate requirement of 59 kg/sec. (590 kg 10 sec. =
59 kg/sec.). Refer to the Nozzle Flow Rate Table. The highest possible flow rate for any nozzle size is 16 kg/sec.
Therefore, a minimum of four (4) 50 mm nozzles will be required.
NOTE:
A maximum nozzle flow rate of 17 lbs./sec. (7.7 kg/sec.) is recommended for all areas with false
ceilings or delicate operations where a higher flow rate may dislodge objects or affect a process.
2.7.3
System installation SHALL NOT begin until the final design of the piping network has been
verified using Fikes Engineered Flow Calculation.
Nozzle Area Coverage must also be considered when designing a Fike ECARO-25 System. Each nozzle type
(180o or 360o) has been FMRC approved for the maximum area coverage limitations listed below. The maximum
area coverage is expressed as a radius (R) of coverage along the discharge axis for both nozzle types.
Both nozzle types can be located a maximum of one (1) ft. (0.3 m) below the ceiling (or highest point of protection
when stacking nozzles). Additionally, 180o Nozzles can be placed a maximum of one (1) ft. (0.3 m) away from the
sidewall. A single 180 nozzle is to be used to protect semi-circular shaped areas only.

NOZZLE PLACEMENT
Nozzles should be located in a symmetrical or near symmetrical pattern within the protected area. 360o Nozzles
are designed to be located on, or near, the centerline of the protected area, discharging toward the perimeter of
the area being covered. The system designer should layout the nozzles on a floorplan and verify that the entire
area being protected is adequately covered without any blind spots due to nozzle locations.
180o Nozzles are designed to be located along the perimeter of the area, discharging toward the opposite side as
shown below. These nozzles MUST be located no farther than 1-0 (0.3 m) away from the wall.
180o Nozzles can also be installed in back to back applications. Maximum distance between nozzles is 1-0
(0.3 m) as shown in the following illustration.

This section will cover the piping limitations that apply to all Fike Engineered ECARO-25 system configurations.
This information is intended to give the system designer the information necessary to complete a preliminary
piping layout. The following limitations define the parameters that have been verified through testing, but
installation SHALL NOT begin until the design has been verified using Fikes Engineered ECARO-25 Flow
Calculation Program. For program details, refer to the ECARO-25 Flow Calculation Users Manual, P/N 06-291.
2.8.1
The Fike Engineered ECARO-25 System has been tested to define the maximum degree of imbalance that can
be predicted at tee splits. This value has been expressed in terms of a split ratio of one outlet branch versus the
other. Each ratio indicated is referring to a percentage of the total incoming flow.
2.8.1.1 BULLHEAD TEE
A Bullhead Tee is defined as a tee configuration where the two-outlet branches change direction from the
incoming piping inlet. See the diagram below for further clarification. The split ratio range for a Bullhead Tee is
75:25 to 50:50. This means that the major-flow outlet has an acceptable range of 50% minimum to 75%
maximum, and the minor-flow outlet has an acceptable range of 25% minimum to 50% maximum. These figures
are determined as percentages of the total incoming flow amount through the tee. See the diagram below for
further clarification.

SECTION 2 DESIGN
2.8.4
The proper pipe size for each section of piping is selected based on the design flow rate for each pipe section.
Generally, the size selection should be based on the smallest pipe size that will handle the design flow rate for
branch lines supplying the discharge nozzles, and the next to smallest size for trunk lines.
2.8.4.1 DISCHARGE DURATION
ECARO-25 Systems must discharge the agent in a manner that will achieve 95% of the design concentration
within ten (10) seconds in accordance with NFPA 2001. Fike ECARO-25 Systems have been tested by UL and
FM in accordance with this requirement, along with an additional requirement that requires the minimum
discharge time associated with an ECARO-25 to be no less than six (6) seconds.
Therefore, these time requirements must be taken into account when estimating pipe sizes. The Fike ECARO-25
Flow Calculation Program selects pipe sizes based on these criteria and selects the nozzle orifice hole sizes
accordingly. Ultimate control of the discharge time is accomplished through the custom sizing of the discharge
nozzles by the Fike Program.
2.8.4.2 MINIMUM FLOW RATE
Flowing ECARO-25 agent actually consists of two phases: liquid and vapor. To accurately predict its flow through
a piping network, the piping has to be sized to provide enough resistance to create a turbulent flow effect. When
turbulent flow is achieved, the two phases join to form a homogenous mixture that can be accurately calculated.
If the pipe size is too large, phase separation will occur and the flow cannot be predicted. Therefore, the pipe
sizes selected must be in accordance with the Flow Rate Table below.
To determine the flow rate of a pipe section, divide the amount of agent flowing through that section by the
discharge time (10 seconds).

The Fike Engineered ECARO-25 System has been tested to define the limitations necessary to accurately predict
how the system will perform when discharged. The physical limitations covered previously (e.g. tee orientation,
flow rate, etc.) are easily seen and managed prior to running a flow calculation. However, the following is a list of
physical limitations that are not easily identified until the system designer runs the flow calculation.
2.9.1
Fike ECARO-25 Systems are pressurized systems that utilize a limited source of pressurization (nitrogen) to
expel the extinguishing agent through the piping network and into the protected space. Therefore, there has to be
a limit placed on the size (volume) of the associated piping network to ensure that the agent will be delivered to
the protected space within the discharge time period allowed. This is a floating limitation dependent upon the
size and fill weight of the container(s) involved. This makes this a difficult design limitation to identify, but it is
usually associated with very large pipe systems and multiple tee split arrangements.
Therefore, this limitation is defined as follows: no more than 51% of the total agent weight (liquid) may reside in
the piping network during discharge. If the piping volume is too large, the Flow Calculation Program will indicate a
Warning message, [Maximum Percent Agent in Pipe Exceeded]. The piping network volume must be decreased
by reducing pipe sizes, reducing pipe lengths, or a combination of both to correct this error.
2.9.2
Some piping configurations present timing problems for the system due to the degree of hydraulic imbalance
created. For example, a system that splits and supplies agent for the room nozzles and underfloor nozzles is
unbalanced because of the difference in pipe size and agent quantities. Therefore, the Flow Program must try to
manipulate the orifice hole diameters of the nozzles in an attempt to satisfy all of the timing requirements for the
system. When the timing criteria cannot be met, the location of the first tee becomes critical.
The distance from the cylinder to the first tee depends on the size and configuration of the piping system. The
minimum distance is defined as a distance which will allow for a 4% drop in pressure from the cylinder outlet to
the pressure at the first tee. This limit is checked by the ECARO-25 flow calculation software and will be reported
if this limit is violated.

The amount of time necessary for the liquid HFC-125 to arrive at each nozzle must be within one (1) second of
each other. For example, if the liquid agent takes two (2) seconds to arrive at the first nozzle, (the closest nozzle
to the container), the liquid arrival time to all of the remaining nozzles cannot exceed three (3) seconds.

The amount of time necessary for the liquid HFC-125 to discharge (runout) of each nozzle must be within 2.1

for all of the remaining nozzles must not exceed 5.1 seconds.

Sometimes, a system will require more agent than a single container can provide. In this case, multiple
containers can be connected together via a common manifold arrangement. Main and Reserve supplies of agent
are also connected together in this manner.
Manifolds are assembled using a combination of grooved pipe and grooved fittings, or threaded pipe and fittings
meeting the pressure requirements of NFPA 2001. Every container must be the same type, same size, and
identical fill weight. Check Valves are required for EACH container being connected to a manifold.
Manifold assemblies are configured using 3 (80 mm) through 6 (150 mm) pipe sizes, depending upon the
amount of agent being supplied. The common manifold types are as follows:
The following diagrams and table show the basic manifold configurations and dimensions. Refer to Section 4 for
additional installation information.

This system has four areas that need fire protection each with a different amount of agent for each enclosure
and different nozzle requirements. Of the three types of systems that we can apply to these hazard areas, the
most flexible is the unbalanced system.
3.3.1 CONTAINER SELECTION
This system requires a total of 203 lbs. (92 kg) of ECARO-25 to protect all four-hazard areas, which allows us to
utilize a common agent supply. Refer to Table 2.4.2 for the container selections available.
Container size = 375 lb. (153 L) with a 203 lb. (92 kg) fill weight
3.3.2 NOZZLES REQUIRED
Step 1: Determine the correct number and size of nozzle(s) required for each hazard area and calculate the
nozzle flow rate required to discharge the system in a maximum of 10 seconds.

Step 3: Locate the nozzle(s) on a scaled plan view of the hazard areas being protected. This will allow you to
check the area coverage of each nozzle being used. This will also determine if you use 180o or 360o
nozzles, or a combination of the two.

Step 1: Layout pipe network and container location(s) on a scaled plan view. While many methods of pipe
routing may exist in any given system, it is best to supply nozzles, or groups of nozzles, from central points along
the trunk line to avoid high degrees of piping imbalance
Step 2: Layout a piping isometric to show all elevation changes, fittings, pipe sizes and lengths. Pipe sizes will be
based on the flow rate for each section and the pipe size estimating table in Section 2 paragraph 2.8.4.2.
Check the piping network for tee split ratios; tee orientation, minimum piping distances, proper nozzle
screen quantity and location, etc.
IMPORTANT: Your final design must be checked by using Fike's ECARO-25 Engineered System Flow
Calculation Program before installation starts. When using the Isometric input portion of the
flow calculation program, it is not necessary to assign Node points to the piping isometric as the
isometric input will automatically assign node point numbers as you draw the piping system.
NOTE:
After calculating this system on Fike's ECARO-25 Engineered System Flow Calculation Program, the
amount of agent required was increased to 208 lbs. (93.5 kg) and sub-floor nozzle sizes were
changed to 3/4 (20 mm) to meet system limitations.

The system installation must comply with the requirements of this manual; NFPA 2001, latest edition; all
applicable local codes, regulations, and standards and the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ).
4.1
The following sections provide pictorial clarification and procedures for the correct installation and mounting
positions of Fike ECARO-25 containers and associated hardware.
Make certain that each container has been installed in the correct location. Each container should have a
nameplate with an identifying part number. Check the container part number against those listed on the system
plans to verify their locations.
Containers should be located in clean, dry, and relatively vibration-free areas. Avoid aisleways and other high
traffic areas where physical damage or tampering is more likely. Containers should never be mounted where the
container could potentially be splashed with, or submerged in any liquid.
Container brackets must be mounted securely to solid load-bearing surfaces that will support the container load.
Some installations may require additional mounting support not supplied by Fike.
WARNING:
4.1.1
The Gas Cartridge Actuator (GCA) should always be the last component installed on a Fike
ECARO-25 Clean Agent system.
20 60 lb. (8.5 27 L) Containers are supplied with mounting brackets that must be secured to a solid, loadbearing surface using a minimum of four fasteners. As an option, the brackets may be welded into place. These
containers can be mounted in the following configurations:
CAUTION:
These containers have siphon tubes. DO NOT mount the containers in the inverted (valve down)
position. Failure to comply with this requirement will result in an incomplete discharge.

125 & 215 lb. (51 & 90 L) Inverted Containers are supplied with mounting brackets that must be secured to a
solid, load-bearing wall. These containers DO NOT have siphon tubes; therefore, they MUST be mounted in the
inverted (valve down) position.
Additional hardware such as the optional backing/mounting straps (P/N 70-1119) is required when mounting
Inverted Containers to porous block walls. For this application, the anchor bolts must run through the wall and
through the backing/mounting brackets on the opposite side to provide structural integrity.
An optional Floor Mounting Kit is available for both container sizes. When using this option, the floor mounting kit
must be anchored to a solid, load-bearing floor or similar surface.

The discharge piping is connected to the discharge valves in the various manners that follow. A basic installation
would involve direct connection to the valve via a pipe union or grooved coupling to facilitate removal of the
container for service purposes. More advanced installations will be accomplished by using a discharge manifold
to join multiple containers into a common piping supply network.
Refer to the sections that follow for additional information regarding pipe and fitting materials, installation
requirements, configurations, etc.
4.2.1
The 1" (25 mm) valve used on the 20, 35, 60 & 100 lb. (8, 15, 27 and 44 L) containers has an Adapter Nut with 1
NPT female threads that accept 1" NPT male threaded pipe. Prior to installing the discharge piping, remove the
Adapter Nut and coat the 2 (50 mm) straight threads of the container valve body with teflon tape or thread
sealant and replace the Adapter Nut.
IMPORTANT: Remove the Baffle Plug before installing the discharge piping to the Adapter Nut. The Baffle Plug
is an anti-recoil device that is required to be installed whenever transporting or handling charged
containers that are not connected to the discharge piping.
A pipe union should be installed close to the adapter nut. This makes removal of the container for service
purposes much easier.

The 2-1/2" (65 mm) valves used on the 125 & 215 lb. (15 & 90 L) containers have 2-1/2" (65 mm) grooves
machined into the outlets of the valves. The transition from the grooved outlet to pipe thread is made through the
use of an adapter nipple (supplied by Fike) that receives 2-1/2" (65mm) female pipe thread.
It is not necessary to supply a pipe union after the grooved coupling to facilitate removal of the container for
service or maintenance purposes.
IMPORTANT:Remove the Baffle Plate located inside the grooved coupling before connecting the discharge
piping to the container. The Baffle Plate is an anti-recoil device that must be installed whenever transporting or
handling charged containers that are not connected to the discharge piping.

MANIFOLDS
Discharge manifolds are used to connect multiple containers into a common supply and discharge piping network.
Simple two container manifolds may be used to create Main & Reserve systems without the need for redundant
piping systems. Larger multiples of containers are often manifolded to create larger bulk supplies of agent for
areas that require more than 836 lbs. (379.5 kg) of agent.
Manifolds are assembled in the field using approved fittings meeting the requirements of NFPA 2001. Larger
manifolds are commonly assembled using grooved fittings, but threaded, welded or flanged fittings can be used
as well. If grooved couplings are used, the gaskets must be lubricated with a non-petroleum base lubricant as
recommended by the fitting manufacturer.
Once the manifold is assembled and the containers connected, the manifold should not be supported by the
containers. The manifold piping should be secured with pipe hangers or brackets to support the manifold when
the containers are removed for service.

After the electrical and control systems have been checked out, proceed with the gas cartridge actuator installation
as follows.
Step 1:
Move the armed/disabled switch on the control panel to the disabled position.
Step 2:
Wait a minimum of 10 minutes to allow capacitors on agent release modules to dissipate their electrical
charge.
Step 3:
Stretch all the leads and find the proper length required for the installation. Remember to allow extra
length for the possibility of servicing the system and the need to shunt in the future. However, do not
allow a quantity that will not safely store within the space provided within the ARM box.
Step 4:
With shunts intact, strip about 1/2" (15mm) of insulation from the red and the blue lead, but keep the
shunt intact. In the middle of the stripped portion, use small pliers to fold the wires in half and crimp.
Step 5:
Insert the stripped sections of the gas cartridge actuators red and blue leads under their respective
screws on the terminal of the agent release module and tighten each screw. For ARM Rev.1, use the
center two terminals. For Fike ARM III, terminate the yellow and green leads in the same manner as the
red and blue leads. The yellow and green terminals are shunted internally and connection to these
terminals provides safety for this pair. DO NOT use these terminals for the red and blue leads. (See
figure below)
Step 6:
Step 7:
Remove the shunts from the pigtails and isolate each wire. If the wire ends are exposed, cover with
electrical tape and secure against ground faults. These pigtails can be used at a later date to recreate
a shunt and safely remove the wires from the ARM when servicing the system. Install covers on all
electrical boxes.
Step 8:
Check the control panel for any trouble indication, other than the one caused by the disable position of
the armed/disabled switch.
WARNING:
Step 9:
If no other trouble condition exist, move the armed/disabled switch to the armed position and reset
the control panel.

The Low Pressure Switch can be wired for either of two configurations: normally open or normally closed shelfstate (de-energized) conditions. When the container is filled and pressurized, the contacts change state. For
example, a normally open switch configuration will be closed when the container is pressurized. If the pressure in
the container drops below 288 psig (196.5 bar kPa), the contact will return to the open (de-energized) position.
The pressure switch should be wired into a supervised circuit in the control panel used to provide a trouble signal
if the container sees a low-pressure condition. The preferred method would be to wire the switch normally open
(closed under pressure).
For applications utilizing a U.L. listed and FMRC approved Cheetah panel, one switch per FRCM (Fast Response
Contact Module) is recommended. Refer to the Installation, Operation & Maintenance Manual for the control
panel being used for specific wiring criteria.
NOTE:
When the cylinder low pressure switch (p/n 02-9830) is connected to a standard supervisory input
circuit, there will be no distinction between a wiring fault and device actuation. This device is to only
be utilized when accepted by the authority having jurisdiction.

The checkout procedures outlined in this section are intended to represent the minimum requirement for the
extinguishing portion of the system. Additional procedures may be required by the authority having
jurisdiction (AHJ).
The control portion of the system should be thoroughly checked out according to the manufacturer's
recommendations and the requirements of the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ).
5.1
HAZARD AREA CHECK
A good review of the hazard area is just as important as the proper operation of system components. Certain
aspects about the hazard may have changed, or been overlooked, which could affect overall system
performance. The following points should be thoroughly checked.
5.1.1 AREA CONFIGURATION
The area dimensions should be checked against those shown on the system plan(s). If the area volume has
changed, the agent weight should be recalculated and compared with the agent weight supplied.
The area should also be checked for walls or movable partitions, which have been added or changed. If walls or
partitions have been added, check to see that all areas within the hazard still receive adequate nozzle coverage
and agent distribution.
5.1.2 AREA LEAKAGE
The hazard area should be checked for openings which could allow agent leakage after system discharge.
Openings, such as cable and duct penetrations into the area, should be permanently sealed.
Other sources of leakage should be checked for and sealed, especially in subfloor areas, where potential leak
points are easily overlooked. Door(s) entering the hazard area(s) should be checked for tightness. Door seals
and door sweeps should be installed to minimize leakage. Joints where walls contact floors, or other walls,
should be sealed as these are potential leak points most often overlooked. Wall switch and receptacle boxes
should be sealed. Sub-floor drains must have P- traps and be sealed with a non-evaporating liquid, such as
anti-freeze or mineral oil. All penetrations between floors must be sealed.
5.1.3 ENCLOSURE INTEGRITY DOOR FAN TESTING
Door fan testing provides a method to estimate worst-case room leakage. The door fan calculation method
makes it possible to predict the timeline for a descending interface to fall to a given height and estimate how long
an extinguishing concentration will be maintained within the protected space. This procedure is limited to door fan
technology. This is not intended to preclude alternative technology such as acoustic sensors.
Enclosure integrity testing is not intended to verify other aspects of Clean Agent system reliability; i.e., hardware
operability, agent mixing, hydraulic calculations, and piping integrity. Refer to NFPA Standard 2001, latest edition
for additional test requirements.
The door fan testing procedure should not be considered to be an exact model of a discharge test. The
complexity of this procedure should not obscure the fact that most failures to hold concentration are due to the
leaks in the lower surfaces of the enclosure, but the door fan does not differentiate between upper and lower
leaks. The door fan provides a worst-case leakage estimate that is very useful for enclosures with complex
hidden leaks, but will generally require more sealing than is necessary to pass a discharge test.
Refer to NFPA Standard 2001, latest edition for additional information and door fan test procedures.

CONTAINERS
Check to make sure all containers and brackets are securely fastened. Check the mounting position of all
horizontally mounted containers. The brass fill valve [located on the discharge valve] must be pointing down.
Check all container pressure gauges. They should be reading 360 PSIG at 70oF (24.8 bar at 21oC). For
temperatures other than 70oF(21oC), reference Section 6, Table 6.3.
The container firing circuit should be checked by connecting an AG1 flashbulb [or equal] in place of each gas
cartridge actuator. Activate the control system automatically. All flashbulbs should flash. This procedure should
be repeated for manual actuation of the control system.
5.3
DISCHARGE PIPING
The discharge piping should be checked to see that it is securely supported and free from any lateral movement.
All joints should be checked for mechanical tightness. Discharge piping shall be pressure tested in accordance
with NFPA 2001, latest eition.
5.4
NOZZLES
Check to see that all nozzles are installed in the proper locations, according to system plans. Refer to Section
1.9 for nozzle identification. Make sure all nozzle set screws are in place and that 180o nozzle discharge orifices
are properly oriented.
Check all nozzle orifices for obstructions and make sure large objects have not been placed in front of the
nozzles that would block the discharge.
If the piping system was changed from the original system plans, make sure the nozzles calculated were done so
using the "as installed" piping configuration.
5.5
AUXILIARY FUNCTIONS
Operation of auxiliary functions such as door closures, damper closures, air handling shutdown, etc. should be
verified when the control system is activated, both manually and automatically.
WARNING:
If the air handling system is NOT being shut down during system discharge, it must be of the
recirculating type, and enough agent should have been added to compensate for the duct and
plenum volumes.
After all checkout functions have been performed, and the control system checked out according to the
manufacturer's recommendations, proceed with the gas cartridge actuator installation and arming of the system,
as outlined in Section 4.6.

DESCRIPTION
Fikes Cheetah Xi 50 (P/N 10-071) is a state-of-the-art true intelligent digital
peer-to-peer modular suppression control system. It is ideal for all life safety
and property protection applications, and is intended for both commercial and
industrial use. It is designed with extensive programmability that allows the
almost-instantaneous relay of information and the ability to perform process
management tasks with ease including HVAC shutdowns, Emergency Voice
Evacuation Systems, damper control, door closure, elevator recall, security, and
CCTV/Building Management Awareness.
This cost-effective panel comes standard with one Signaling Line Circuit (SLC)
that support 50 devices, with any mix and match of sensors and modules. The
Cheetah Xi 50 utilizes extreme intelligence via its Eclipse based sensors including
photoelectric, photoelectric with heat, ionization, photoelectric duct, and heat
detectors. It also utilizes Eclipse based modules such as the monitor, mini-monitor,
relay, intelligent pull station, releasing and control modules. With Cheetah Xi 50,
every device communicates as a peer on the signaling line circuit. These peers not
only communicate up-to-the-second information to the control panel, but also
communicate with each other. Each device is capable of generating accurate and
highly detailed information. Conventional suppression alarm systems give a general
idea of the fires location, while the Cheetah Xi 50s intelligent sensors indicate
precisely which device is in an alarm state. This intelligence provides incredible
speed with response times as little as one-quarter second between manual pull
station and notification appliance. Its flexibility allows you to attach the intelligent
devices that are required for your specific application.
The System is programmed with either the Windows based field configuration
software C-LINX or through a comprehensive password protected front-panel
keypad programming option. This option allows you to quickly update and adapt
to any future requirements or changes in the system such as changes in occupancy
or remodeling. The sophisticated control panel circuitry coupled with the software
allows you to read specific information and sensitivity levels of the different eclipse
devices. The sensors also compensate for any changes due to age, contamination, or
other environmental factors.

SYSTEM OPERATION
The Cheetah Xi 50 Control system operates on a Zone and State relationship. In this design, all input and output devices
must be assigned to at least one zone (253 are available), each one defining an area to be protected. Input devices can be
assigned up to 253 zones (one zone is typical) and output devices may be configured for up to 254 zones.
These devices use the SLC signaling line circuit to exchange status information with other devices as well as with the
control panel. When an input is activated, it is configured to cause its associated zone to enter into an operational state. Any
detection device will cause the associated zone to enter into an alarm state. The output devices are configured to activate to
protect and evaluate the endangered zone. This system is completely modular, allowing you the flexibility to design a system
that is just right for your application. A typical configuration is shown on page 2 that illustrates the communications of a
Cheetah Xi 50 system.

CONTROL MODULE
DESCRIPTION
The Fike Control Module (P/N 55-042 & 55-047) is used to switch an external power
supply to notification appliances or release solenoids used for sprinkler operation, or to
activate Fikes Masterbox Interface module (P/N 10-2413), which is used on a Local Energy
Type Auxiliary Fire Alarm System. The module is capable of Class A or Class B wiring. The
device will monitor the wiring (while external power is not switched to the auxiliary devices)
to the connected device for open and short circuits. The module will monitor the external
power input for loss of power (DC voltage supplies only). The isolator version of the
module (P/N 55-047) provides complete short circuit isolation for installations requiring
NFPA Style 7 wiring.
The module is compatible with Fikes CyberCat and Cheetah Xi intelligent control panels.
Its operating parameters are configured using the panels programming software and are
stored within non-volatile RAM in the module. This on-board intelligence allows each
module to communicate its status directly to other devices connected to the panel. This peer-to-peer digital protocol results
in less information that needs to be sent between the module and the host control panel, resulting in faster, more reliable
communication.

Model MS-2, MS-2H
The MS-2 manual fire alarm stations are
dual action devices. These stations require that the outer door be lifted to expose the actuation door which is then
pulled forward to operate the alarm toggle
switch. The actuation door is now locked
in the readily observable alarm position.
To reset the station, a key (common to
FCI control panels) must be inserted and
turned turn clockwise, opening the
station. Closing the station resets the
switch automatically.
An optional breakglass rod is available
for positive indication of station operation.

*Operating the horn in this mode at this voltage will result in not meeting the minimum UL reverberant sound level required for public mode fire protection service. These settings are acceptable only for private mode fire alarm use. Use the high dBA setting for public mode application (not applicable when using the chime tone. The chime tone is
always private mode).
Notes: The sound output for the temporal 3 tone is rated lower since the time the horn is off is averaged into the sound output rating. While the horn is producing a tone in
the temporal 3 mode its sound pressure is the same as the continuous mode.
To obtain the horn/strobe current draw, add the strobe current draw and the horn current draw.

RMS current ratings are per UL average RMS method. UL max current rating is the maximum RMS current within the listed voltage range (16-33VDC for 24VDC units) (8-17VDC for
12VDC units). For strobes the UL max current is usually at the minimum listed voltage (16VDC for 24VDC units) (8VDC for 12VDC units). For audibles the max current is usually at the
maximum listed voltage. For unfiltered FWR ratings, see installation manual.

settings are acceptable only for private mode fire alarm use. Use the high dBA setting for public mode application (not applicable when using the chime tone. The chime tone
is always private mode).

RMS current ratings are per UL average RMS method. UL max current rating is the maximum RMS current within the listed voltage range (16-33VDC for 24VDC units) (8-17VDC for
12VDC units). For strobes the UL max current is usually at the minimum listed voltage (16VDC for 24VDC units) (8VDC for 12VDC units). For audibles the max current is usually at
the maximum listed voltage. For unfiltered FWR ratings, see installation manual.

DESCRIPTION
Fike Clean Agent Containers are used in fire extinguishing systems to store the
Clean Agent until a fire develops and the agent must be released. The Clean
Agent is retained in the container by a Impulse Valve assembly which contains a
fast-acting rupture disc. The disc will be ruptured, and the Clean Agent released,
through the operation of an actuator by an electric signal that is automatically,
manually or pneumatically controlled.
Fike Clean Agent Containers have passed extensive testing by Factory Mutual
and Underwriters Laboratory and are used in installations where 4 to 836 pounds
(2.0 to 379.5 kg) of HFC-125 agent is required. Clean Agent containers can be
filled in 1 pound (0.5 kg) increments to their maximum capacity.

Notes:
1) 100 thru 1000 lb. (44 thru 423 L) containers are equipped with a
LLi Boss.
2) Fike nameplate provides the information that is specific to each
container: Assembly and serial number of the container, weight
information: tare, gross and agent and installation, operation and
safety information. All containers filled either by the factory or by
an Approved Initial Fill Station are provided with a name plate
bearing the UL & FM markings.
3) Fike Clean Agent containers [except the 150i (Inverted)] are
equipped with a siphon tube. The 20, 35 & 60 lb.
containers have bent siphon tubes and the 5, 10 and 100
1000 lb. containers have straight siphon tubes. All
containers with siphon tubes can be mounted upright. The
20, 35 & 60 lb containers can also be mounted horizontally.
The 150 container can only be mounted upright and the 150i
can only be mounted inverted.
Pneumatic Actuation Impulse Valve Pneumatic Operator (IVPO) (For detailed information, refer to the IVPO Data
Sheet IV.1.10.01)
ACTUATION METHODS
Clean Agent containers with an Impulse Valve can be actuated by the following methods:
Method 1 Electric Actuation Single Container System w/ IVO & IRM
Method 2 Electric Actuation Multi-Containers System w / IVO & IRM
Method 3 Electric & Pneumatic Actuation Two Container System w/ IVO & IVPO
Method 4 Electric & Pneumatic Actuation Multi Container System w/ IVO & IVPO
For detailed information on actuation methods, refer to the Impulse Valve Operator (IVO) data sheet IV.1.09.01.
These devices provide the force required to extend a pin that will open the rupture disc, allowing the agent to be released
from the container.
INSTALLATION
The system installation must comply with the requirements of this manual; NFPA 2001, latest edition; all applicable local
codes, regulations, and standards and the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ).
Warning: DO NOT start system installation until the final design of the total system has been verified using Fikes Engineered Flow Calculation.
Warning: The Actuator shall always be the last component installed on a Fike Clean Agent Fire Suppression system to avoid
accidental discharge.
Factors to Consider - Container Location
Mounting Surface:
Container brackets must be mounted securely to solid load-bearing surfaces that will support the
container load.
Some installations may require additional mounting support not supplied by Fike.
Environmental Effects:
Container(s) should be located in clean, dry, and relatively vibration-free areas.
Avoid aisle ways and other high traffic areas where physical damage or tampering is more likely.
Container(s) should never be mounted where the container could potentially be splashed with, or
submerged in any liquid.
Do not locate containers where they would be subject to physical damage, exposure to corrosive
chemicals, or harsh weather conditions.
Temperature Range:
Container locations must be between 32F (0C) to 120F (48.9C)
Temperatures outside of this range may result in the system not supplying the desired quantity of
agent or accidental discharge.
Serviceability:
In general, the larger the container, the more difficult it will be to remove it from the system for
maintenance and service.
However, smaller containers that are located in a sub-floor space, under a computer bank, or
above the ceiling over the same computer bank can be difficult as well.
Floor Space:
Consideration should be given to the space available to install the container(s).
For example, a 900 lb. (408 kg) system could be stored in (2) 650 lb. (267 L) containers located on
the floor.
However, if floor space is a problem, the system could be designed to utilize (6) 150i lb. (61 L)
Inverted Containers mounted on the wall(s).

NOTES:
a. The maximum allowable area of coverage includes any area within the radius distance from the nozzle (R dimension) to
the most extreme wall or corner.
b. Nozzles should be located on center line of hazard area.
c. When working with ceiling heights exceeding the values tabulated above, the hazard volume must be broken down into
vertically stacked hazard volumes, with heights less than the maximums shown in the table. It is imperative that unusual
applications of this nature be handled by experienced design engineers and, in most cases, operational tests should be
performed before the system is put into service.
d. 180 and 360 degree nozzles may be placed a maximum of 1 foot (30.5cm) down from the ceiling, and 180 degree nozzles
may be placed a maximum of 1 foot (30.5cm) from the wall.
e. Nozzle threading is NPT.

The Impulse Valve Operator (IVO) provides the means to electrically or
manually activate the Fike Impulse Valve clean agent containers. Upon
activation, a pin is extended with the force required to open the inverted
rupture disc, allowing the agent to be released from the container.
The IVO can be activated either manually by depressing the red button
or electrically via a signal from the fire suppression control panel. Once
activated, the IVO can be reset using the included reset tool.
Fike Clean Agent Containers with Impulse Valve use an Impulse Releasing
Module (IRM) to supervise the agent release circuit wiring (for open and
ground fault conditions) from the container to the control panel. Up to 6
IRMs may be released from a single Fike fire suppression control panel.
An IVO kit is included when ordering an Impulse Valve clean agent container
with electric actuation. The kit includes the following components:

Note: When utilizing electric actuation (IRM) with multiple containers with IVO, the manual strike button on each IVO
must be removed and plastic cap installed. This is to prevent a single container from being discharged in a multiple container
system.
For wiring installation details between Fike Control Panel, IRM and the IVO, reference the Impulse Release Module (IRM)
Product Manual (p/n 06-552).
IMPULSE VALVE
DESCRIPTION
The 1 & 3 Impulse Valves are a rupture disc (metal diaphragm), pressure
operated device that allows the agent to be released from the container and
into the protected enclosure via the associated piping network and discharge
nozzle(s).
Fike Impulse Valves are equipped with four ports:
Agent Discharge Port allows agent release from container and also
fulfills the pressure relief valve requirements in accordance with DOT
regulations.
Agent Fill Port used to fill (refill) and pressurize the container and also
used for the Low Pressure Switch.
Actuator Port used to connect an Impulse Valve Operator (IVO) with
Manual Strike Button for electric and manual actuation of the container
or an Impulse Valve Pneumatic Operator (IVPO) for pneumatic
operation.
Pressure Gauge Port is used to connect a Pressure Gauge that will
monitor internal container pressure, also equipped with an orifice
plug that allows the pressure gauge to be removed safely when the
container is pressurized.

DESCRIPTION
The Impulse Releasing Module (P/N 10-2748) provides the primary interface
between the supervised releasing circuit(s) of a Fike fire suppression system
and the Impulse Valve Operator (IVO); which is used to release the fire
suppressant agent from an impulse valve container. The IRM is equipped
with three capacitors that receive a constant charging current from the
releasing circuit of the control panel. When fully charged, the module is
capable of firing a single IVO. Upon circuit activation, the output circuit
reverses its output voltage polarity, causing the energy in the capacitors to
be released to the Impulse Valve Operator. Each IRM is equipped with a
red LED to provide positive indication that the module is in the active
(release) state.
Note: The IRM is provided as part of the IVO Kit (P/N 70-279) and does
not need be ordered separately if ordering the kit.
