 EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION
The FM-200® agent is stored as a liquid in cylinder assemblies designed specifically for the ap-
plication and charged to a fill density of between 35 lb/ft3 (561 kg/m3) and 70 lb/ft3 (1121 kg/m3). To
ensure optimal performance, each cylinder is superpressurized with dry nitrogen to 360 psi (24.8
bar) at 70°F (21°C). An identification label is affixed to the cylinder body indicating the fill quantity
of FM-200®, charging pressure, date of fill, and fill station. The Sv Series supports three cylinder
capacities.

FM-200® fire extinguishing systems are designed to be discharged within 10 seconds into a room,
area, or enclosure with the structural integrity to retain the agent. The FM-200® uniformly mixes
throughout the protected area, achieving a minimum concentration level in accordance with NFPA
2001 and/or agency listings.

Pneumatic Arrangement
The pneumatic system arrangement utilizes stored nitrogen to actuate the nitrogen driver cylinder that opens
the cylinders containing the FM-200®. System actuation is initiated at the small nitrogen actuation bottles. Both
bottles must be manually operated before the system can actuate. One bottle will send actuation pressure to
open the pilot stop valve while the other will send actuation pressure to open the large nitrogen driver cylinder.

station is connected by cable to the pilot stop valve while the other is connect by cable to the emergency actua-
tion lever of open the large nitrogen driver cylinder.
DS1353 Revised: 24-May-2019 Page 4 of 20
 In both system arrangements, once the large nitrogen driver is opened, actuation nitrogen pressure
travels from the nitrogen driver cylinder into the timer and siren mechanism after being regulated down
to 100 psi (6.89 bar). Once the predischarge period has passed, the pneumatic timer will open sending
nitrogen to the nitrogen actuation connection port of the marine cylinder valve actuator via the pilot stop
valve. This causes the primary cylinder to open. Any additional cylinders will be actuated by pneumatic
pressure passing through the pilot actuation port of the primary cylinder valve.

1/4” (8 mm) FNPT Pneumatic Valve Actuator (P/N 17019)

On multiple cylinder systems, nitrogen actuation pressure
from the driver cylinder enters the manual marine actuator
causing the primary cylinder(s) to open and then, in a rap-
idly occurring sequence, the pneumatic valve actuator(s)
will open all other cylinders using pressure from the primary
cylinder.
A pneumatic valve actuator attaches to the valve actuation
connection of each slave cylinder. It receives pressure from
the pilot actuation port of the primary cylinder through the
pilot actuation check valve. It is brass with a brass piston
and pin.
Knurled Nut

Vent Check (P/N 10173)

The vent check is a safety device with 1/4 in (8 mm)
MNPT threads that is to be installed in the pilot actuation
line downstream of the pilot actuation check valve. It is
used to bleed off pressure that may accumulate in the
pilot actuation hose or piping minimizing the chance of
1/4” (8 mm) inadvertent pressurization of the pneumatic actuators or
MNPT discharge pressure switch.

the manual-pneumatic actuator of the first primary cylinder
to ensure the manual-pneumatic actuator remains pres-
surized through the entire discharge period. One check
valve is installed in the pilot pressure port of each primary
cylinder with direction of flow OUT of the cylinder to ensure
pressurization of the pilot actuation line. Adapters will be
required depending on the location of use

Pilot Actuation Mid Line Tee (P/N 18622)

A 1/4 in (8 mm) 37° male JIC by MNPT brass branch tee
is utilized to attach the pilot actuation line to the pneu-
matic valve actuator on all but the final slave cylinder. On

FM-200® CHEMICAL PROPERTIES

FM-200® (HFC-227ea) is formed from the elements carbon, fluorine and hydrogen (CF3CHFCF3 -
heptafluoropropane). The primary extinguishing mechanism of FM-200® is heat absorption, with a
secondary chemical contribution from the thermal decomposition of FM-200® in the flame.
FM-200® leaves no residue and is safe for use in occupied spaces.

Most common metals, such as aluminum, brass, steel, cast iron, lead, stainless steel, and copper,
as well as rubber, plastic, and electronic components, are unaffected when exposed to FM-200®.

SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Although the EPA Significant New Alternative Program (SNAP) lists FM-200® as acceptable for oc-
cupied spaces, NFPA Standard 2001 and SNAP list the following guidelines for human exposure:

The discharge of FM-200® into a hazard may Time for Safe Human
