Rugged heavy equipment comes with substantial fire safety challenges often requiring

a significant investment in life and property protection. The ANSUL® CHECKFIRE 110 Detection and Actuation System offers cost-effective, single-zone detection and actuation for smaller vehicles used in the extreme environmental and physical conditions of industries like forestry, waste disposal, aviation and transit.

Best-in-Class Detection and Actuation The CHECKFIRE 110 system provides electrical and/or optional pneumatic input to actuate an ANSUL fire suppression system. When fire is detected, the control module sends an electrical signal to release the gas from an expellant gas cartridge to pressurize and discharge the fire suppression system. The system is typically used with an ANSUL A-101 or LVS Vehicle Fire Suppression System for 24-hour protection of equipment.

The CHECKFIRE 110 system features supervised circuits with color-coded, plug-and-play connectors for detection, release and external 12/24 VDC primary power source. Operating components include the compact control module, spot or linear thermal detection, electric manual actuators and a protracting actuation device.

Two Forms of Detection for Those First Critical SecondsDetection is the critical first step in successfully dealing with the threat of fire. The CHECKFIRE 110 offers two highly-reliable forms of detection used individually or in combination. Linear Detection Wire consists of spring-steel conductors separated by a heat sensitive insulator. At the temperature rating of the wire, 356°F (180°C), the insulator melts and the two conductors make contact, sending a signal to the detection module, which signals the control module to actuate the fire suppression system. With Spot Thermal Detection, the thermal detector contacts close and signal the control module to initiate fire suppression when the temperature reaches either 250°F or 350°F (121°C or 177°C) depending on the model selected.

Operator-Friendly Actuation ControlThe CHECKFIRE 110 control module typically can be installed within reach of the opera-tor. This provides easy access to controls while indicator LEDs and an internal sounder notify the operator of the system status. Immediate system release and alarm can be initiated using the manual-activation button with LED alarm indicator. A triple-function button can restart the time delay sequence, reset the control module or silence audible notifications during fault conditions.

DescriptionThe CHECKFIRE 110 Automatic Detection and Actuation System provides supervised input/output circuits to activate an ANSUL fire suppression system. Upon detecting a fire condition, the control module activates the release circuit resulting in the discharge of an expellant gas cartridge initiating fire suppression system operation.

Operating components include the control module; spot thermal detectors; linear detectors; electric manual actuators; PADs (Protracting Actuation Device); electric-pneumatic actuators; and power, detection, and release cables. The entire system is elec-tronics based for supervision, communication, and control of system components.

DetectionA Linear Detector with an activation temperature rating of 356 °F (180 °C) provides fire detection in the protected area. Two twisted spring steel conductors separated by a heat-sensitive insula-tor are limited to a minimum bend radius of 2 1/2 in. (64 mm). For easy installation, red color-coded connectors match the red connectors of the entire detection circuit.

Spot Thermal Detectors have the temperature rating stamped on the detector and are color-coded blue for 250 °F (121 °C) and red for 350 °F (177 °C) operating temperatures.

Electric-Pneumatic ActuatorWith a focus on ease of installation and safety, the Electric-Pneumatic Actuator reduces system complexity. The protracting actuation device (PAD) directly actuates the electric-pneumatic actuator pin eliminating the need for pneumatic actuation.

The re-designed PAD with plug-in spade connectors is easy to install and replace without tools. After plugging the PAD into the release circuit drop cable, the cable is hand-tightened to the top of the electric-pneumatic actuator.

009261

For installer safety during assembly of the Electric-Pneumatic Actuator to an expellant gas cartridge, the actuator includes a new preventor. The integral preventor reduces the possibility of attaching the actuator with the pin not completely retracted. It also provides a metal to metal seat with the expellant gas cartridge eliminating the spacing washer.

If required, optional pneumatic actuation is available.

Electric Manual ActuatorThe newly designed Electric Manual Actuator (EMA) provides electrical activation of the fire suppression system. Pulling the pin and striking the red button sends a signal to the control module for immediate actuation of the electric-pneumatic actuator. Upon actuation, the expellant gas cartridge initiates fire suppression system operation.

009262

EMAs are typically accessible from ground level and/or in a path of egress. An index nub ensures the EMA remains at the proper angle for access to the pull pin.
