FLAME GUARDIAN™
DESCRIPTION
The Flame Guardian™ is a fire suppression generator
designed to be installed directly into the filter system.
The Flame Guardian™ is activated by the Guardian™
Panel fire detection panel 5 seconds after a fire alarm
is activated.
The Flame Guardian™ is designed to suppress or
extinguish filter fires of EN 2 Class A and NFPA 10
Class A (normal or solid combustible material in the fil-
ters).
In 5 to 10 seconds, after a fire is detected, the filter is
filled with a potassium aerosol. This material reacts
with the free radicals in the flame. The free radicals
react with the aerosol instead of the fuel and the chain
reaction of fire is suppressed. The residue is a negligi-
ble amount of harmless and stable potassium hydrox-
ide salt (KOH).
After release of the aerosol, it remains active for at
least 30 minutes, this prevents the fire from reigniting.
COMPONENTS:
1. Flame Guardian™ (200 or 500 g)
2. Mounting bracket (two piece)
3. Junction box
4. Metal cable gland/clamp
5. Plastic cable gland/clamp (2)
6. Mounting material
TRANSPORT AND STORAGE
To avoid damage, the following conditions for transport
and storage should be adhered to.
- Do not drop.
- Store between -58 and +212°F (-50 and +100°C).
- Relative humidity during transport and storage: max.
98%.
If Flame Guardian™ is stored in accordance with the
above mentioned conditions, shelf life of the aerosol
generator is 10 years.
