CHAPTER 3
SYSTEM DESIGN

This chapter is intended for system designers and outlines the design of a Envirotech®
Sentinel® SA1 Vehicle Fire Protection System. The information is based on the requirements
of Envirotech Fire Systems, FM Approvals, and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)
Standards 17 and 72 (current editions). All installations must meet the requirements of the
applicable regulations and local regulatory requirements.

The design of a Envirotech Sentinel SA1 system may be broken into the following steps:

1. Perform a hazard analysis.

2. Select a suppression solution.
3. Select a detection solution.
4. Select a suppression actuation method.
5. Lay out the suppression, detection, and actuation systems.
6. Determine auxiliary components/systems to be controlled in conjunction with a
suppression release.
7. Determine components/systems to be supervised.
8. Determine the appropriate configuration for the Sentinel SA1.

3-1 PERFORM A HAZARD ANALYSIS

The first step in any fire protection design project is to perform a complete hazard analysis,
which requires the designer to identify and survey the fire hazards that require a fire protection
system.

Note: A general fire protection strategy should be compliant with a recognized standard, such
as NFPA 121 (Standard on Fire Protection for Self-Propelled and Mobile Surface Mining
Equipment) or Australian Standard AS-5062 Fire Protection for Mobile and
Transportable Equipment, that is acceptable to the Authority Having Jurisdiction.

3-1.1 Hazard Identification

A fire hazard exists whenever a fuel, an oxidizer, and an ignition source may interact, such that
there is a probable risk of fire. Upon identifying these locations, a risk assessment is performed
to determine which fire hazards require mitigation in the form of a fire protection system.

This assessment should consider:

• expected emergency response time;

• vehicle operation schedule;
• effect and cost of vehicle downtime;
• vehicle replacement cost; and
• fire history of the vehicle or similar ones used under similar conditions

P/N 83-132550-000 3-1 April 2022

System Design

The following is a list of typical hazard areas for mobile equipment:

• Turbocharger
• Exhaust manifold and pipes
• Starter motor, alternator, battery
• Fuel injectors
• Fuel and hydraulic lines
• Transmission units
• Hydraulic pumps, tanks, and manifolds
• Brakes
• Electrical connections and wiring

Consideration should also be given where liquid fuel may drip, splash, or flow, carrying fire
away from its starting point; or where radiated heat, sparks, or conduction through metal can
carry heat to an area where it would not normally exist.

Always consult the fire history of the vehicle, or similar equipment. This may be available
through company records. The operator of the vehicle may be able to identify the locations of
previous fires and/or special hazards, such as a hydraulic hose that frequently comes loose at
a given point. Fire marshals, insurance companies, or other authorities having jurisdiction are
also likely to provide recommendations and/or requirements, as a result of their experience.

3-1.1.1 FUELS

In accordance with NFPA Standards, fuels are classified as:

• Class A – Solid fuels

• Class B – Flammable and combustible liquids and gases
• Class C – Electrically energized equipment

The primary fuels on a vehicle are typically Class B fuels, such as gasoline, diesel fuel, engine
oil, lubricating oil, hydraulic oil, and propane. In addition, Class A fuels, such as electrical wire
insulation and vehicle components made of rubber or plastic, present a secondary fuel source.
Environmental and conditional fuels such as leaves, brush, garbage, or coal dust, may also be
present.

3-1.1.2 OXIDIZERS

The most common oxidizer is air. However, particular attention should be given when the
hazard area includes oxygen storage tanks or other oxidizers (such as: magnesium, calcium
carbide, potassium, and sodium).

April 2022 3-2 P/N 83-132550-000

 System Design

3-1.1.3 SOURCES OF IGNITION

Heat from the engine, transmission, exhaust system, pumps, turbochargers, and electric
motors are the primary sources of ignition for most vehicles. In addition, bearings, brakes,
gears, electrical systems, and environmental conditions provide secondary sources of ignition
heat.

Sparks and embers are intermittent ignition sources, capable of transmitting ignition energy
to an otherwise shielded or distant fuel. Sparks are produced by arcing electrical equipment,
while embers are created by processes such as metalworking or woodcutting, that produce
heated particles.

While pilot flames do not typically exist during the normal operation of most vehicles, they may
be present during maintenance (e.g., a welding torch) or as a condition of the surrounding
environment or the vehicle’s use (e.g., a foundry).

Chemical processes, such as the decomposition of fuel or other debris, may produce adequate
heat to result in the ignition of nearby fuels.

3-1.2 Hazard Survey

Once the areas requiring protection have been identified, additional information is required. As
a minimum, a hazard survey should gather the following information:

• Locations, quantities, and types of the likely fuels

• Locations and types of ignition sources
• Dimensions of the area to be protected, including interconnected spaces, and areas where
fire could spread in the event of a fuel leak
• Locations and dimensions of any un-closeable openings
• Flow rate and wind-down time of forced ventilation that cannot be dampered or shut down
• Minimum and maximum ambient temperatures
• Occupancy status and the path of egress
• Locations of all obstructions
• Acceptable locations for suppression agent storage
• Work processes and vehicle pivots and joints that may affect and/or be affected by the
placement of fire protection components
• Any additional requirements specified by the Authority Having Jurisdiction
• Pressure venting of hydraulic system

3-1.3 Zone Definition

The Sentinel SA1 is designed to provide full fire protection functionality for a single hazard area
or suppression zone; therefore, the identified hazard areas must be grouped and/or
compartmentalized to provide an optimum protection scheme.

In accordance with NFPA 17, any hazard that will allow fire propagation from one area to
another shall constitute a single fire hazard. Where two or more hazards could be
simultaneously involved in fire by reason of their proximity, the hazards shall be protected as
a single suppression zone.

P/N 83-132550-000 3-3 April 2022

System Design

3-1.4 Performance Objectives

In conjunction with the vehicle owner and any authorities having jurisdiction, performance
objectives for the fire protection system should be established through careful analysis of both
economic and safety concerns.

3-2 SELECT A SUPPRESSION SOLUTION

The Envirotech Sentinel SA1 may be used in conjunction with one or more suppression systems
to achieve a complete fire protection solution. A single hazard area may be protected with
either a single-release system or dual-release system, or may be provided with an alarm-only
(i.e., no suppression) system. Of those suppression agents referenced in Chapter 1 of this
manual, the most appropriate should be selected for each hazard, in order to meet the
performance objectives.

3-2.1 Single-Release Systems

A single-release suppression system is comprised of one or more agent cylinders, each

connected to a discharge network and nozzles. The cylinders discharge in concert to provide
suppression coverage throughout the entire hazard. Figure 3-1, Figure 3-2, and Figure 3-3
each show a version of a single-release system:

3-2.2 Dual-Release Systems

The dual-release system is comprised of two independent suppression systems that each
provide total coverage of the hazard. The systems are actuated sequentially to provide an
extended discharge of the primary agent (i.e., Sentinel DCS-Sentinel DCS or Sentinel LS-
Sentinel LS) or to meet certain performance criteria, such as rapid flame extinguishment
followed by rapid cooling of the fuel (i.e., Sentinel DCS-Sentinel LS). Figure 3-4 shows a

3-2.3 Alarm Only Systems

While such systems are rare in vehicles, the Envirotech Sentinel SA1 may also be configured
to provide an Alarm-Only option (i.e., no suppression). This type of system may be used for
notification and equipment shut-down/control in the event of a fire.

April 2022 3-6 P/N 83-132550-000

 System Design

3-3 SELECT A DETECTION SOLUTION

The selected method of detection should be based on the typical fire products (i.e., heat,
radiation, smoke, etc.) for the most likely fuel type in the given hazard and on the performance
objectives of the system.

The Detection circuit of the Sentinel SA1 is designed to allow any combination of the detectors
shown in Chapter 2, up to a maximum total current draw of 180 mA (only when on vehicle
power—NOT if using the Primary Cell Battery). The maximum per-circuit cable length is 300 ft
(90 m).

If using the Primary Cell Battery, powered detectors are not allowed by the
CAUTION Envirotech Sentinel System.

Note: There is no limit on the quantity of non-powered devices that may be used.

3-3.1 Heat Detector Use and Location

At least one heat detector of any type must be installed in each protected compartment. Locate
and mount spot detectors and Linear Heat Sensor detectors in accordance with the following:

• Observe all operating limitations of the selected detector, as described in Chapter 2.

• Mount the thermal spot detector (Detect-A-Fire) close to potential sources of fire. (Since
the detector is only capable of detection at a single point, care must be taken in selecting
the proper mounting locations.)
• Mount the detectors high in the compartment and above potential fire hazards such as
turbos, exhaust components, and alternators. In areas with high airflow, the detectors
should be mounted downwind of the potential fire sources.
• Select the detectors relative to the hazard or ambient compartment temperature, since
they are available with different temperature settings. Proper selection of the temperature
setting will optimize response time to a fire situation and minimize false alarms.
• Locate the detector where it will be protected from mechanical, environmental, or other
conditions that could render it inoperable.
• Locate the detector near and above the hazard where heat from a fire is likely to flow
and/or be trapped.
• Locate the detector where it will be accessible for maintenance and service.
• Select an appropriate temperature setting for the observed maximum normal ambient
temperature at the detector location.
• Do not paint the detector, as this will increase the thermal lag.
• Do not mount the detector on any vehicle component that is likely to be removed during
maintenance or service, such as air cleaner housings, engine carriage brackets, removable
guards or shields, or brackets holding other components.
• Do not locate a detector directly on a “hot” component, such as an exhaust manifold,
turbocharger, engine block, or radiator.

3-3.2 IR-1A Infrared Fire Sensor Use and Location

The Envirotech IR-1A infrared fire sensor can only be used when the Sentinel SA1 is using
vehicle power (i.e., can not be used while on primary cell power).

The Envirotech IR-1A infrared fire sensor has a 100° solid cone field-of-view and should be
positioned to view potential fire hazard areas. With an unobstructed view, the fire sensor can
detect fires in any location of an engine compartment. Since sensor sensitivity is reduced as
the angle from the face of the sensor is increased, the sensor should face towards the area of
most concern. Some engine compartments are very large or have a number of significant
obstructions. In these areas, a fire may develop and propagate for some time before a single
sensor detects and alarms. It is recommended to use more fire sensors in large and/or
congested engine compartments to view all hazard areas.

Table 3-1 shows the IR-1A specifications.

Table 3-1. Infrared Flame Detector Specifications

Description Specification

Operating Temperature Range: -40ºF to 257ºF (-40ºC to 125ºC)

Enclosure Rating: NEMA 4X/IP-66
Weight: 1 lb.

The IR-1A should be mounted high in the engine compartment using the Mounting Bracket Kit,
P/N 83-131060-001, and pointed below the horizontal to minimize contamination of the lens.
It is important to avoid placing fire sensors too close—less than 1.5 ft (458 mm)—to extremely
hot surfaces such as turbochargers, manifolds, or exhaust pipes. Avoid any obstructions such
as hoses or harnesses in the face of the fire sensor that would limit its field-of-view. Mounting
fire sensors so that they do not view brightly illuminated areas will help ensure optimum
performance. The fire sensors should be in an accessible location, with a minimum clearance
of 4 inches from the sensor face, so as to facilitate cleaning and testing efforts.

3-4 SELECT A SUPPRESSION ACTUATION SOLUTION

3-4.1 Modes of Operation

A system or its components may be operated without human intervention (i.e., automatic) or
through human action (i.e., manual). The Envirotech Sentinel SA1 system shall be provided
with both automatic and manual means of operation.

Note: “Manual only” systems may be permissible only if acceptable to the authority having
jurisdiction.
Note: FM Global does not allow “manual only” operation.

The manual actuation means of an automatic extinguishing system should be independent of

the automatic means, such that a failure of a system component does not impair both the
automatic and manual means of actuation.

Operation of any automatic or manual actuator shall be all that is required to bring about the
full operation of the system.

3-4.1.1 AUTOMATIC OPERATION

Automatic operation occurs when one or more automatic fire detectors is activated, which
initiates an alarm condition on the control panel, causing the system to notify the operator and
to actuate the suppression and auxiliary systems.

3-4.1.2 MANUAL OPERATION

Manual operation occurs when an individual activates a manual release station, which may
then either initiate an alarm condition to the Sentinel SA1, or actuate the suppression system
directly.

Operation of a single actuator shall cause all functions to operate as intended.

The means for manual actuation shall be mechanical and shall not rely on any of the hardware
components that would be common to the automatic function of the fixed fire-extinguishing
equipment.

In accordance with NFPA 17, the Electric Manual Release, P/N 83-132455-000,
may be used only when a reserve power supply or a secondary mechanical

3-4.2 Actuation Methods

Actuation of a suppression system may be accomplished by either of two methods:

• Electric – The suppression cylinder valve is directly activated by an actuator, which is
activated by a Release circuit on the Sentinel SA1.
• Pneumatic – The suppression cylinder valve is activated by the application of nitrogen
pressure from a cartridge.

3-4.2.1 ELECTRIC ACTUATION SYSTEM

The Release Circuit on the Sentinel SA1 is capable of activating up to 3 Protractors, P/N 83-
132500-500.

3-4.2.2 PNEUMATIC ACTUATION SYSTEM

3-4.2.2.1 Actuation Hose

If the system is pneumatically actuated, 1/4-in. Actuation Hose (hydraulic) must be used.
Hoses for the Envirotech Sentinel System meet SAE 100 R1 AT minimum specifications, USBM
flame resistance requirements as specified in MSHA 2G, and all other SAE requirements,
including an operating range of -65ºF (-54ºC) to +200ºF (+93ºC).
The following SAE standards should be used for reference:
• SAE J516 Hydraulic Hose Fitting Standard
• SAE J517A Hydraulic Hose Standard
• SAE J343 Standard

Fittings shall be used, as necessary, where hose is connected to actuators, pressure switches,
check valves, tees, and distributors. Swivel hose couplings may be used at any location.
Fittings should be the hydraulically crimped type and in accordance with the manufacturer’s
specifications.

Actuation hose shall not run through protected spaces. Where it is necessary to
route the actuation line through the protected space, tubing or pipe of
WARNING equivalent diameter and pressure rating shall be used.

When pneumatic actuation is utilized, the maximum quantity of agent cylinders that can be
operated and the maximum length of actuation hose that can be used are summarized in

4-6 MOUNT ALL DETECTION COMPONENTS

4-6.1 Install the Detect-A-Fire®, P/N 83-132440-XXX

4-6.1.1 BEFORE BEGINNING

Detect-A-Fire (DAF) units can be mounted either horizontally or vertically, depending on the
application and installation requirements. If mounted horizontally, the DAF is position-
sensitive. The DAF uses the Fenwal logo stamped on the hex head as an “indicator” of the
internal contact orientation.

When mounted in any position other than vertical, the “FENWAL” logo must
CAUTION face directly up or down. Otherwise, the unit may not function properly.

Note:
1. Do not install the unit where the shell would be physically damaged
by debris, rocks, etc.
2. Detectors mounted in an area subject to physical abuse must be
suitably protected without obstructing the thermal air path to the
unit.

There is risk of damage to the unit if it is over-tightened.

CAUTION

3. In order to function properly, the sensing shell of the unit must remain free from paint,
grease, oil, etc. Should such a buildup occur, do not—under any circumstances—
attempt to remove the buildup. Replace the unit.
4. Any detector that has been abused or damaged must be replaced.

April 2022 4-4 P/N 83-132550-000

 Installation

Any of the above could change the factory temperature setting, which may
result in property damage, serious personal injury, or death. It is possible for a
unit to have been abused or damaged without displaying any outward
WARNING indications. All units should be tested periodically with NFPA (72) and/or
Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).

4-6.1.2 INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

1. Select the area to mount the bracket.
2. Clean the area and mount the bracket. The bracket may be welded into place.
Note: Do not weld, braze, or apply heat to the mounting bracket while
the DAF is connected to the bracket.
3. Loosely affix the DAF unit to the clamp using the retaining nut.

If horizontally mounted, the Fenwal logo stamped on the hex head must face
CAUTION directly up or down. Otherwise, the unit will not function properly.

Note: If horizontally mounted, ensure that the Fenwal logo stamped on

the hex head is facing upwards.
4. Tighten the locking nut.

4-6.2 Install the Linear Heat Sensing Cable, P/N 83-100003-001

The LHS is a fusible cable and should be installed close to potential sources of fire. The cable
is capable of sensing a fire at any point along its length.

The system is usually configured with one cable of the appropriate length installed within the
concerned risk area. An additional LHS may be added in series for added protection. The length
of the cable should be long enough to cover the hazard area but not excessively long to reduce
its susceptibility to damage. The cable should be mounted high in the protected area above
potential fire sources. Physical contact with heat absorbent surfaces and mounting in an area
of high airflow should be avoided as much as possible. The detection wire should not be
installed within 12 inches of engine exhaust components and should not be pinched, crimped
or kinked during the installation process.

In an engine compartment, the cable should be mounted on the compartment roof around the
perimeter or in a sine wave pattern--whichever allows for greater coverage and ease of
installation. In other areas such as roof mounted fuel tanks where the cable cannot be mounted
to the roof, it should be mounted above the tank valves using appropriate bracketry. Care
should be taken to avoid installing near moving parts or in the way of maintenance personnel.
In areas where maintenance work is regularly performed or more support is required,
mounting clip spacing should be reduced.

The LHS should be mounted using rubber insulated mounting clips at approximately 2-foot
intervals (see Figure 4-4) and the wire should not be allowed to droop between mounting
points. The clips should be able to hold a wire 3/16-inch diameter without pinching and hold
the wire away from heat-absorbing surfaces.
