Sea-Fire FM200 Fire Extinguisher User Manual


 
Before operating the protected vessel, visually inspect pressure gauge for compliance and
ensure the supervisory (indicator) light is lit. If gauge reads low in pressure, and or the indica-
tor light is extinguished, remove, and replace the system immediately.
Never paint or obstruct the detection tube, as this will adversely affect its operating charac-
teristic. FT models are non-refillable. See nameplate on cylinder for instructions and OUT
OF WARRANTY REPLACEMENTS section of this manual.
REMINDER:
• FREQUENTLY CHECK GAUGE FOR PROPER PRESSURE
LIMITATIONS
Sea-Fire FT model series FM-200
®
automatic fire extinguishers are designed and tested to
extinguish Class C (electrical) and Class B (flammable liquid) fires in enclosed compart-
ments only. Any open doors or hatches will allow discharging agent to escape and will seri-
ously affect the ability of the agent to extinguish the fire.
Only one extinguisher may be used to protect a compartment. If more than one extinguisher
is used to achieve the required amount of agent concentration, there is no guarantee that
several extinguishers will actuate simultaneously as each extinguisher operates indepen-
dently. Several extinguishers may be used only if each independent extinguisher is capable
of protecting the entire volume of the compartment.
