PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The combined performance of the ANSUL® A-101/LVS Twin-Agent Fire Suppression
A-101/LVS Twin-Agent
Suppression System
Combined agent performance
for ultimate protection
■ Rapid flame knockdown, cooling
and securement
■ Automatic or manual operation
■ 24/7 fire detection
■ Multiple design options
■ FM approved and CE marked
■ AS 5062 compliant
System provides superior protection in applications where superheated
equipment works around the clock, often in rugged hazardous environments.
The FM-approved, twin-agent combination is designed to protect large, non-road
construction and mining equipment and specialty vehicles such as those found
in the waste management industry. This larger class of equipment brings greater
volumes of oils, fuels and hydraulic fluids under pressure in hydraulic lines which,
if ruptured, can cause fuel to spray onto hot surfaces and possibly ignite.
Double the Agent, Double the Protection
While the dry chemical knocks down flames, the liquid agent cools surrounding
areas and flows readily into spaces where flammable liquids may settle.
The LVS agent provides both fire suppression and superior cooling of superheated
surfaces while blanketing the fuel and cutting off oxygen to help prevent reflash.
The A-101 dry chemical portion of the system can be designed to flood entire
spaces with dry chemical agent or aim nozzles to protect specific high-hazard areas.
Both systems are designed to discharge simultaneously when actuated manually or
automatically with the option of extending the dry chemical discharge.
The twin-agent system operates within a temperature range of
-40°F to 140°F (-40°C to 60°C).
Protection Starts with 24/7 Detection
The CHECKFIRE system is used with the A-101/LVS twin-agent system to
provide around-the-clock, automatic, fire detection and actuation. The rugged
control module is designed to withstand
shock, vibration and extreme environmental
conditions. The CHECKFIRE system includes
supervised circuitry, adjustable shutdown,
discharge time delays and auxiliary
shutdown relay.

Features Ordering Information
■ Suppresses and helps secure fires in mobile equipment Part No. Description
■ Low temperature capability 426961 LVS Wet Chemical Agent, 5 gal (18.9 L) Pail
■ FM Approved and CE marked (as part of the fire suppression
system)

Application
LVS wet chemical agent is part of the ANSUL fire suppression
system designed to suppress fires in mobile equipment used
in a wide range of industries: underground and surface mining,
forestry/logging, construction, waste management, metal
processing, transportation, power generation, agribusiness, and
others.
The wet chemical solution can flow into hard-to-reach areas
along the same path where flammable liquids may have flowed. It
suppresses fire and helps prevent reflash by 1) forming a blanket
over the fuel to exclude oxygen and 2) cooling the fuel and heated
surfaces because of the water and chemical compounds in the
LVS solution.

Description
LVS wet chemical agent is a unique blend of organic and inorganic
salts, coupled with surface active ingredients. This blend provides
a strong measure of freeze protection along with the foaming
properties associated with conventional Class B liquid agents.
