DESCRIPTION
The Kidde XV Control System is a compact, versatile unit
used to actuate agent cylinders on Kidde WHDR and IND
Pre-Engineered fire suppression systems. The control
head can be operated via:
Two Distinct Automatic Mechanical Detection Lines
(fusible links or thermo-bulb links)
Optional Electrical Solenoid
Remote or Local Manual Mechanical Control
Upon actuation, the XV Control System discharges the
nitrogen System Cartridge, pressurizing the actuation
lines and System Valve Actuators (SVA) mounted on the
cylinder valve(s). The SVA(s) open the cylinder valve(s),
discharging the WHDR wet chemical or IND dry chemical
suppression agent. The XV can be mounted on a wall or
directly to an SVA mounted on the cylinder.
The XV Control System is UL and ULC Listed with
WHDR Wet Chemical and IND Dry Chemical Fire
Suppression Systems. The XV is FM approved with the
IND Dry Chemical Systems.
The XV comes ready to install, with three EMT
connectors, one System Valve Actuator (SVA), two
microswitches, one nitrogen System Cartridge, and one
nitrogen test cartridge.
