FM200 Equipment & Components - Standard
FM200 (HFC 227ea) is known chemically as
Heptafluoropropane. FM200 is a colourless gas
which is liquified under pressure for storage. Like
Halon 1301 it has a low toxicity level and is super-
pressurised with Nitrogen to 24.8bar (360psi). It
rapidly extinguishes most commonly found fires
through a combination of chemical and physical
mechanisms.
FM200 contains no bromine or chlorine and Typically FM200 requires a design concentration
therefore has zero Ozone Depleting Potential of 7.5%, which is well below the 9% No
(ODP). The atmospheric lifetime of FM200 is Observable Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL). The
between 31 and 42 years which along with its’ NOAEL for Halon 1301 is only 5% (the same as
ODP presents a long term solution to fire the design concentration).
protection requirements.
FM200 has been found to be less toxic than Halon
1301, which makes it safe for use in the fully
automatic mode in occupied areas.

Solenoid Actuator - Standard
The solenoid actuator is used to electrically
operate the container valve and is operated at
24Vd.c. (Power Consumption - 4.8 Watts).
It is fitted directly onto the top of the container
valve by means of a knurled swivel coupling
which enables the unit to be positioned as
preferred for electrical connection.
When fitting it is only necessary for the unit to be
hand tight.
The solenoid actuator is normally fitted to the
container designated as the ‘Master’. The
actuator is an electro-mechanical device which
when energised causes the central pin to move

Solenoid Actuator - Flameproof
The Flameproof solenoid actuator is BASEEFA
approved to Ex d IIB requirements and is
operated at 24Vd.c. (Power Consumption - 11.2
Watts).
The CENELEC/BASEEFA Approved Explosion
proof version is available to order to meet EEx d
IIC requirements.
The solenoid actuator is fitted to a schrader
assembly on the side of the valve body by means
of a brass swivel nut. It is designed to be
removable from the schrader assembly. As there
will be pressure in the brass swivel nut, upon
removal of the solenoid the pressure will be
released. A ‘pop’ will be heard at the time of
removal. It is essential that the schrader assembly
Local Manual Actuator
The local manual actuator is used to mechanically
operate the system at the container position.
When fitting it is only necessary for the unit to be
hand-tight.
Accidental manual release is prevented by means
of a steel safety pin. The steel safety pin must be
removed to allow the use of the local manual
actuator.
After removing the safety pin, manual operation is
caused by depressing the strike knob.
Pneumatic Actuator
The pneumatic actuator is used where container
operation is required by means of gas pressure
from the system master container, remote manual
release unit or from a pilot container. When fitting
it is only necessary for the unit to be hand tight.
The unit is designed so that it may be fitted
directly onto the top of the container valve or be
used in conjunction with a solenoid actuator, in
which case it fits directly on top of the solenoid
actuator.
Union Adaptor
The union adaptor is used to enable pipework to
be easily connected to and disconnected from
the FM200 container valve outlet adaptor. It is
available in two sizes, 25mm and 50mm.
One end is provided with a parallel female thread
to provide a compatible joint to the container
outlet adaptor. The other end is provided with a
female NPT thread to enable pipework to be
connected. A swivel joint makes disconnecting
downwards opening the schrader valve in the
container valve.
The central pin must be in the retracted position
before the solenoid actuator is fitted, otherwise
the container valve will be operated and the
contents discharged.
The power lead fitted with a DIN plug for
connecting to the solenoid is to be ordered
separately (P/C 304.001.001).

is not dislodged or removed as this will cause an

from the ‘Master’.
NOTE: Earlier versions of this actuator were not
designed to be removable from the container
valve and no attempt must be made to do so
whilst the container is pressurised, otherwise this
will result in immediate and potentially hazardous
discharge of FM200.

To fit the Flameproof or Explosion proof switch
requires connecting pneumatic actuation tubing
between the supervisory pressure switch port on
the valve and the supervisory pressure switch.
This process involves removing the plug from the
supervisory pressure switch port in the valve and
quickly connecting the actuation tubing. Upon
removal of the plug it is normal for a small
quantity of gas to leak. It is critical that all
connections are gas tight otherwise the container
will gradually lose its charge.

FM200 Nozzles - Engineered: Aluminium

The Discharge Nozzles are available in a 180o and
360o pattern and are designed to uniformly
distribute FM200 throughout the hazard area.
The 180o type has seven ports and the 360o type
has eight ports.
For Pre-Engineered systems the nozzles are
available pre-drilled in three sizes.
Engineered nozzles are available in seven sizes
and are drilled with the specific design
requirement.
Where the size of any hazard enclosure
determines that one nozzle does not provide
sufficient coverage the hazard should be

Solenoid Actuator - Stackable (UL)

The solenoid actuator is used to electrically
operate the container valve. The solenoid is
operated at 24Vd.c. (Power Consumption - 4.8
Watts).
It is fitted directly onto the top of the container
valve by means of a knurled swivel coupling
which enables the unit to be positioned as
preferred for electrical connection.
When fitting it is only necessary for the unit to be
hand tight.
The solenoid actuator is normally fitted to the
container designated as the ‘Master’. The
actuator is an electro-mechanical device which
when energised causes the central pin to move
downwards opening the schrader valve in the
container valve.
The central pin must be in the retracted position
before the solenoid actuator is fitted, otherwise
the container valve will be operated and the
contents discharged.
The power lead fitted with a DIN plug for
connecting to the solenoid is to be ordered
separately (P/C 304.001.001).

assembly on the side of the valve body by means 304.205.008
of a brass swivel nut. It is designed to be 24V Solenoid actuator (side mounted)
removable from the schrader assembly. As there
will be pressure in the brass swivel nut, upon
removal of the solenoid the pressure will be
released. A ‘pop’ will be heard at the time of
removal. It is essential that the schrader assembly
is not dislodged or removed as this will cause an
immediate and potentially hazardous discharge of
FM200.

Local Manual Actuator

The local manual actuator is used to mechanically Product Code

When fitting it is only necessary for the unit to be Local manual actuator

Accidental manual release is prevented by means

removed to allow the use of the local manual
actuator.
After removing the safety pin, manual operation is
caused by depressing the strike knob.
The unit is designed so that it may be fitted
directly onto the top of the container

Local Manual/Pneumatic Actuator (Type D)

The Local Manual/Pneumatic Actuator may be
used to operate the CO2 container by means of a
local mechanical action or by pneumatic means.
The actuator is fitted directly onto the top of the
container valve and is retained by a steel locating
clip. A grub screw in the front of the container
valve may be tightened to secure the actuator in
the preferred orientation.
Accidental manual release is prevented by means
of a steel safety pin. The steel safety pin must be
removed to allow the use of the operating lever.
After removing the safety pin manual operation is
caused by moving the operating lever through
105o.
A maximum force of approximately 3kgf is
required to operate the actuator.
Pneumatic operation is possible by means of
actuation ports in the main body of the actuator.
At normal storage conditions ie 20oC
approximately 8.5 bar is required.
Two ports are provided at 180o to each other. One
port is used as an inlet port and the other as an
outlet port. Interconnection between adjacent
actuators is by means of 3/16” pilot hoses. (Either
port can be used as the inlet/outlet ports). No
port must be left open ie. depending on the
layout required, manual bleed valves, pilot hoses
or pneumatic actuation plugs may be fitted. To
connect the 3/16” pilot hose to the inlet/outlet
ports of the actuator requires the use of 3/16” x
1/8” adaptor (P/C 309.017.005). These adaptors
must not be omitted as this could cause the
system operation to fail. For remote manual
actuation the actuator is fitted with a shear strap
in place of the steel safety pin. This must be
specified at time of order.
When operated the actuator latches to keep the
