SYSTEM 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.
For electric drive trucks, a standalone manually actuated liquid agent system can be used for protection of the resistor grid box.

SYSTEM FEATURES
Satisfies NFPA 17, Chapter 5.7.2.1: Supervision of electrically or pneumatically operated automatic systems shall be provided unless
Control Unit 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
Firing Mechanism 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
Remote Actuator 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
Engine Shutdown shall be provided with automatic means to ensure shutoff of power and fuel valves upon operation of the extinguishing systems.

INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
The guidelines below are minimum recommendations. The system may include additional nozzles or sensors that should be used to address additional fire risks that are
identified in the fire risk assessment. Linear wire may also be used for detection. 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.

TOTAL DRY NOZZLES: 33

18 engine compartment 3 rear axle

6 alternator
6 rear hydraulics
TOTAL LIQUID NOZZLES: 4
Liquid Distribution 4 turbochargers and exhaust
(if recommended above)

TOTAL SENSORS: 9

INSTALLATION NOTE: For maximum effectiveness, dry chemical nozzles should be placed above the spray path of the liquid agent nozzles.

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. 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)
