Configuració i instal·lació

Llista de verificació prèvia a la instal·lació:

• Verify pipe size (2 inches nominal).
• Ensure adequate clearance around the installation point.
• Confirm power supply requirements (Corded Electric).
• Gather necessary tools (wrenches, drill, etc.).

Passos d'instal·lació:

1. Seleccioneu la ubicació: Choose a straight section of pipe, free from obstructions, at least 6 inches from fittings or valves.
2. Sistema de drenatge: Completely drain the pipe section where the detector will be installed.
3. Forat: Using a hole saw of the specified size (refer to product documentation for exact diameter, typically 2 inches for a 2-inch pipe), drill a hole in the pipe. Deburr the edges.
4. Insert Paddle: Carefully insert the paddle assembly into the drilled hole, ensuring the paddle is oriented correctly with the direction of water flow.
5. Adjunteu Clamp: Col·loca el clamp assembly around the pipe and secure it using the U-bolt and nuts. Tighten the nuts evenly to ensure a snug fit without over-tightening.
6. Connexions de cable: Connect the detector's wiring to the alarm control panel according to the provided wiring diagram. Ensure all connections are secure and insulated.
7. Restore System: Slowly refill the sprinkler system, checking for leaks around the detector.

Instruccions de funcionament

The WFD20N waterflow detector operates automatically once installed and connected to a compatible fire alarm control panel. It is designed to detect sustained water flow, typically indicating the activation of a sprinkler head.

Funcionament normal:

• In a static water system, the detector remains in a normal, non-alarm state.
• When water flow exceeding a predetermined threshold (e.g., 10 gallons per minute) is sustained for a set delay period (adjustable on some models, typically 5-90 seconds), the detector will activate.
• Upon activation, the detector sends a signal to the connected fire alarm control panel, initiating an alarm.

Prova del detector:

Regular testing is crucial to ensure proper operation. Refer to NFPA 25 standards for testing frequency.

1. Notify the monitoring station and building occupants before testing.
2. Open the inspector's test valve or a similar flow test connection downstream of the detector.
3. Observe the control panel for an alarm signal within the specified delay time.
4. Close the test valve and verify the detector resets to a normal state.
5. Notify the monitoring station that testing is complete.

Manteniment

The System Sensor WFD20N waterflow detector requires minimal maintenance. Regular inspections and testing are the primary forms of upkeep.

Comprovacions rutinàries:

• Inspecció visual: Periodically inspect the detector for any signs of physical damage, corrosion, or loose connections. Ensure the housing is securely closed.
• Condicions ambientals: Verifiqueu que l'entorn operatiu es mantingui dins dels rangs de temperatura i humitat especificats.
• Prova: Conduct functional tests as per local codes and NFPA 25 standards (e.g., quarterly or annually).

Neteja:

If the exterior of the detector becomes dirty, wipe it with a clean, damp tela. No utilitzeu netejadors abrasius ni dissolvents.

Manteniment:

Any internal servicing or repair should only be performed by qualified fire alarm technicians. Do not attempt to disassemble the sealed electrical housing.
