    This document provides a system specification sheet for an AFEX fire suppression system for a Hitachi EX5600-6 hydraulic shovel. It recommends a dual agent system using 5 containers of 125 lb dry chemical and 6 containers of 15 gal liquid agent. It also lists additional hardware, installation considerations, and notes the purpose of a fire suppression system is to mitigate damage but cannot be expected to extinguish all fires. Regular maintenance is required to ensure safe and effective operation.

    SYSTEM SPECIFICATION SHEET

    fire suppression systems

    VEHICLE OVERVIEW

    HITACHI

    MAKE:

    HITACHI

    MODEL:

    EX5600-6

    EX5600-6

    TYPE:

    Hydraulic Shovel

    CAPACITY:

    34.0 m3

    ENGINE:

    Cummins QSKTA50-CE
    2 x 1500 HP (1119 kW)

    RECOMMENDED AFEX SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

    DRY CHEMICAL

    5x125 lb.

    + LIQUID AGENT

    6x15 gal.

    ADDITIONAL HARDWARE CONSIDERATIONS:


    2 remote actuators, 14 sensors, and 2 "booster" slave actuators are
    required beyond what is included in the Automatic Actuation Package.

    NOTE:
    Dual agent systems combine the fast knockdown properties of A:B:C dry chemical powder with the suppression and cooling properties of the
    AFEX liquid agent for greater effectiveness and to reduce the chance of fire reflash. NFPA 122, Chapter 12.3.6.1.1, requires dual agent
    protection for hydraulic shovels with greater than 150 gal (567.8L) of hydraulic fluid.
    SYSTEM FEATURES:
    CONTROL UNIT
    FIRING MECHANISM
    REMOTE ACTUATOR
    ENGINE SHUTDOWN

    Satisfies NFPA 17, Chapter 5.7.2.1: Supervision of electrically or pneumatically operated automatic
    systems shall be provided unless specifically waived by the authority having jurisdiction.
    Satisfies NFPA 17, Chapter 9.9.7: At least one easily accessible manual actuator or operating device shall
    be provided for use by the equipment operator.
    Satisfies NFPA 17, Chapter 9.9.8: An additional manual actuator or operating device shall be located so
    that it is in the path of egress and operable from ground level.
    Satisfies NFPA 17, Chapter 5.5.2: Where systems protect hazards that have flowing flammable or
    combustible fluids or gases, the systems shall be provided with automatic means to ensure shutoff of power
    and fuel valves upon operation of the extinguishing systems.

    This information is only a guideline and does not provide definitive rules or specifications. Due to variations in vehicle models and accessories, the actual installation may vary from that listed above. All installations
    should include a detailed fire risk analysis as described by NFPA 122 and the AFEX service manual.
    The purpose of a fire suppression system is to mitigate fire damage to the equipment. The system cannot be designed or expected to extinguish all fires. As with all mechanical equipment, AFEX Fire Suppression
    Systems require regular maintenance to assure they will operate safely and effectively.
    Special attention should be paid to certain hazard areas such as, but not limited to, turbochargers, exhausts, hydraulic connections to pumps, valves, and tanks, transmissions, starters, alternators, and additional
    fuel and heat sources.

    In accordance with the manufacturers or designers recommended inspection and maintenance procedures and schedules, all fire suppression systems, including alarms, shutdowns, and other associated
    equipment, shall be thoroughly examined and checked for proper operation by competent personnel. (NFPA 122)
