New UL 300 standard introduced (1994)
More rigorous testing parameters
Longer pre-burn
Additional splash tests

Wet chemical proven effective in meeting


new requirements 66

DETECTION
Selection & Placement
• Perform Temperature Survey
– Normal operating conditions
– Appliances and ventilation on
• Select Appropriate Detector Rating
– Approx 65 to 100 degrees F above normal operating conditions
– Refer to DIOM for specific detector ratings
• Proper Placement
– One detector per appliance – minimum
– Exception for appliances directly under duct – one detector for
both, detector must be 0 to 12” (0.3 m) into duct
– Maximum 54” x 54” per detector
– Place in path of hot cooking exhaust gases for quick response
– Do not place in path of appliance combustion flue gases
212
DETECTION
Placement Example
• If you can’t detect, you can’t protect . . .
– Proper link placement
• One link will serve a CONTINUOUS 54” x 54” Maximum hazard

OWNER’S MONTHLY INSPECTION
Table 5-2. Owner’s Monthly Inspection

Check Procedure

Inspect all system components, agent distribution pipe, and conduit runs for physical
damage and/or displacement.
Inspect all nozzles to see if foil seal caps (if applicable) are in place. Check for
possible obstructions to the discharge of the wet chemical.
Inspect all detectors (Fusible-links and Thermo-bulbs) for contamination. If
contamination is found, contact an authorized Kidde/Badger Distributor for service.
Inspect each Cylinder and Valve Assembly. The pointer on the pressure gauge should
be in the “green” range. The cylinder should not show evidence of corrosion or
damage.
Inspect manual pull stations are unobstructed and in clear view and labeled for
intended use.
Inspect all tamper seals are intact and the system is in a ready condition.

Verify the inspection tag or certificate is in place and current.


A record of the monthly inspection is to be kept reflecting the date inspected, initials
of the person performing the inspection, and any corrections required.
If wall mounted, the XV/UCH Control System must be tightly secured to the wall. If
cylinder mounted, the XV/UCH Control System must be tightly bolted to the SVA. The
Cam/Flag on the XV/UCH Control System indicator should point to the ‘Set’ position.
The safety pin and seal wire on the local manual release handle should be in place. If
no Remote Manual Release is installed, the path to the local manual release on the
cylinder should be clear and unobstructed and within reach.
If any discrepancies are noted while making this inspection, DO NOT CONTINUE
OPERATING HAZARDOUS PROCESSES OR TURN ON PROTECTED EQUIPMENT.
Immediately contact an authorized Kidde/Badger Distributor for service and/or repair.
The hood, duct, and protected cooking appliances have not been replaced, modified,
or relocated.
