Cabinet
The TOTALPAC®3 cabinets are made of sturdy 14 gauge steel, they are available in four (4) sizes;
23" x 25" x 77" (58.4 x 63.5 x 195.6 cm) for 1½",and 2" systems,
36" x 25" x 77" (91.4 x 63.5 x 195.6 cm) for 3" and 4" system,
46" x 25" x 77" (116.8 x 63.5 x 195.6 cm) for 6" system
54" x 31" x 81" (137.2 x 78.7 x 205.7 cm) for 8" system
All surfaces are rust proof coated, inside and outside, with fire red, oven baked polyester powder on phosphate base. Cabinet is
provided with one or two doors, all provided with a neoprene gasket to absorb vibrations.
A field wiring electrical junction boxes is integrated with the cabinet for connection of detection system, auxiliary contacts and
signaling devices. All inputs & outputs are factory wired to a terminal strip (TBA) for contractor's field wiring.
Gauges to indicate air, water supply pressure and priming water pressure are all visible through clear Lexan windows.
IMPORTANT: TOTALPAC®3 units are NOT designed to be installed where they will be subjected to outdoors and/or freezing
conditions. Refer to environmental data for additional details. Subjecting the unit to conditions outside these limitations might
tamper the normal operation of the system.
The cabinet assembly is pre-assembled, pre-wired, and factory tested under ISO-9001 conditions.
Multiple unit installations are easily achieved by manifolding units together at their water inlets but drains shall remain separate
and open.
Sequence of operation (see trim diagram)
In a fire condition, operation of the detection system activates the first initiating circuit in the system releasing control panel, causing
an alarm to activate. When a sprinkler operates, air pressure escapes from the sprinkler piping. The low air alarm switch activates
the second initiating circuit in system releasing control panel. When BOTH initiating circuits have been activated, system releasing
control panel energizes solenoid valve (F1) open.
Pressure is released from the priming chamber of the deluge valve (A1) to the open drain manifold faster than it is supplied through
the restricted orifice (B3). The deluge valve clapper opens to allow water to flow into the system piping and alarm devices, causing
the alarm pressure switch (C1) and optional water motor alarm (C2) to activate. Water will flow from any open sprinklers and/or
other opening in the sprinkler piping.
When the deluge valve operates, the sensing end of the PORV (B9) is pressurized, causing the PORV to open. When the PORV
opens, it drains the priming water pressure to the priming chamber, preventing the deluge valve (A1) from resetting, even if the
open releasing devices close. The deluge valve can only be reset after the system is taken out of service, and the outlet

Solenoid valve
The high pressure solenoid valve is a two-way type with one POTTER
inlet and one outlet. It is a packless, internal pilot operated PS40-2A
valve, suitable for use in releasing water pressure from the
priming chamber of Viking deluge valves. The solenoid valve
has floating diaphragm construction, which requires a
minimum pressure drop across the valve to operate
properly.
IN OUT
Pneumatic actuator
Used in conjunction with the solenoid valve, the Viking
Pneumatic Actuator is a spring loaded, rolling diaphragm
and piston operated valve. It is used wherever a combination
is required between the detection and system’s loss of air.

Dehydrator option
The Viking Dehydrator is a manually regenerated desiccant-type air dryer. The desiccant acts as a moisture indicator by changing
color, and is visible through the required bowl guard and transparent plastic bowl.
The Dehydrator directs the incoming air down through the silica gel desiccant. The silica gel absorbs the moisture without
physically changing. As the relative humidity increases, the silica gel begins to change color from dark blue to light pink, indicating
the desiccant must be replaced.
