When installing the Explosion Proof Control Head in haz-
ardous locations, wiring connections must be terminated
in explosion proof junction boxes.
The lead wires must be connected using the indicated
polarity (red to positive, black to negative) in order to
obtain correct operation.
MAINTENANCE
Regular scheduled maintenance should be performed on
the Explosion Proof Control Head to ensure that the unit
operates correctly if and when required.
MONTHLY
The Explosion Proof Control Head should be inspected
for any signs of physical damage, deterioration, corro-
sion, distortion, cracks, dirt ingress and loose couplings.
Tighten any loose couplings. Replace damaged or miss-
ing caps. Replace control head if damage is found.
Ensure that all explosion proof control heads are in the
“set” position.
SEMI-ANNUALLY
The Explosion Proof Control Head should be tested for
proper operation.
Remove control heads from all master cylinders within
the hazard area being tested. Let the Explosion Proof
Control Head hang freely from the flexible electrical con-
duit connections. Operate the Explosion Proof Control
Head, either by actuation at the system control panel or
via manual operation of an electric pull station. Ensure
that the control head has operated. Observe that the
actuating pin has moved to the fully released position. If
any control heads have not operated, check circuit for
electric continuity. Replace all damaged control heads.
Repeat operation test if any control heads have been
replaced. Replace any damaged control head, which fails
to reset properly. Make certain that electric control heads
are in the set position before reconnecting to agent cylin-
ders. Reattach all control heads to threaded ports on cyl-
inder valves and tighten swivel nuts securely.
