- Field wiring terminal strips integrated with the cabinet for connection of field wiring for remote detection system, audible devices auxiliary contacts and power supply to the optional air compressor (see art. 2.5 for details).

.2 The cabinet assembly must be pre-assembled, pre-wired and factory tested under ISO-9001 conditions, as a Viking TotalPac2 system, by FireFlex Systems Inc. It shall also be FM Approved as an assembled unit.


2.2 Cabinet Option:Choose applicable option:

Yes No Seismic Option The TotalPac2 cabinet shall include a seismically-rated cabinet construction that meets the highest max earthquake found, location Portageville, Missouri, Site Class "D" Occupancy CATEGORY IV, Importance factor I = 1.50, SDC "D". The cabinet assembly shall have been subjected to seismic testing (ie – shake table test) and be OSHPD pre-approved under OSP-0104-10

The anchors shall be calculated by a structural engineer or utilize anchoring detail as per installation details found in TotalPac2 Seismic Option datapage # FM-076D-0-7.

2.3 Detection & SignallingDevices

.1 Supply and install supervisory and alarm connections between the unit field wiring terminals and the building fire alarm panel, including:- System tubing, wiring and signalling devices. - Alarm line for the connection of a water motor gong (by

contractor)..2 A bell or a horn should be installed near the TotalPac2 cabinet.

2.4 System Operation

.1 The activation of at least one automatic sprinkler head is necessary to cause the water discharge.

.2 The activation of at least one automatic sprinkler head will open the dry valve and cause the system to fill the piping network with water and spray through all open sprinklers. This will activate alarm and water flow switch contacts connected to the building fire alarm panel and sound an alarm.

.3 Pressure loss on the piping system will activate an auxiliary contact indicating same.

.4 Operation of the emergency manual release will cause the system to immediately fill the piping network with water, spray through all fused sprinklers and activate alarm and water flow contacts connected to the building fire alarm panel.

2.5 Air Supply.1 The automatic sprinkler piping is supervised by air from a

compressed air source installed inside (alternate: outside – choose one) the dry pipe cabinet.

.2 The air supply must be regulated and of the proper size in order to be able to restore normal system air pressure within 30 minutes.

.3 Choose applicable options: Yes No Air compressor and supervisory trim (Air Supply Style "A") shall be

provided inside the cabinet and its pressure factory adjusted for the selected configuration.

OR

Yes No Air supply and supervisory trim (Air Supply Style "B") shall be provided inside the cabinet and its pressure factory adjusted for the


selected configuration. Supply and connection to an external air compressor (alternate: nitrogen cyclinders – choose one) properly sized for the system shall be made by the contractor on-site.

OR

Yes No Air supply and supervisory trim (Air Supply Style "D") shall be factory installed inside the cabinet and provide supervisory and control only when the air supply is from plant air or when used with freezer type air supply.Air supply shall be provided inside the cabinet with its pressure factory adjusted for the selected configuration. Supply and connection to an external air compressor (alternate: nitrogen cyclinders – choose one) properly sized for the system shall be made by the contractor on-site. Air supply must meet NFPA and FM requirements for freezer applications when applicable.

2.6 Air Supply Options

Choose applicable options:

Yes No .1 If required by the size of the piping network, an accelerator device Viking Model E-1 shall be factory installed in the air trim with its own pressure gauge and bypass valve, designed to increase the operating speed of the system.

Yes No .2 For high humidity environments, a dehydrator assembly must be factory installed in the air trim, with bowl guard, supply control and drain valves. Dehydrator shall be Viking manually generated dessicant-type air dryer, the dessicant acting as a moisture indicator by changing color.

2.7 Automatic Sprinklers.1 Supply and install all required automatic sprinklers. They will be

glass bulb type, UL/ULC listed and FM approved..2 Applicable specifications of automatic sprinklers shall be determined

as per the manufacturer recommendations, based on the project conditions.

2.8 Piping.1 System piping and fittings shall be as recommended by NFPA 13.

2.9 System Drain.1 The single drain collector of the Viking TotalPac2 system shall be

connected to an open drain (open end pipe with an air gap around the drain pipe or equivalent). The drain piping shall not be restricted or reduced and shall be of the same diameter as the drain collector. It shall also be arranged to avoid back-pressurizing the drain trim. Multiple drain collectors and open drain cups inside the cabinet will not be accepted.

.2 Manifolding of multiple units is permited provided the manufacturer's recommendations are carefully followed and complied with.


Part 3 - EXECUTION3.1 Installation

.1 The installation must meet all established standards and be according to all applicable laws, regulations and codes.

.2 The proper operation and coordination for the system's installation, including the automatic sprinkler system, signaling system and initial start-ups are all under the responsibility of the fire protection contractor.

3.2 Training.1 The fire protection contractor must plan and organize a training

session of at least two hours for the building maintenance staff, in the presence of building owner or his representative.

.2 The training session must include the normal operation, emergency procedures and system maintenance.

3.3 Tests & Verifications.1 Hydrostatic tests must be performed on the entire sprinkler piping

system, as required by NFPA 13..2 In addition to the standard hydrostatic test, an air pressure leakage

test at 40 psi (2.8 bars) shall be conducted for 24 hours. Any leakage that results in a loss of pressure in excess of 1½ psi (0.1 bar) during the 24 hours shall be corrected.

.3 A drain test using the auxiliary drain valve fully open (drain located on water supply side, deluge valve inlet) must be performed to make sure that no back pressure in drain piping exists, which could affect the proper operation of the preaction system.

.4 An air supply test must be performed, to confirm that normal air pressure can be restored within 30 minutes.

.5 The verification of the fire alarm system must be done in accordance with NFPA 72, Chapter 7 (and CAN/ULC-S537 in Canada).

3.4 Report & Certificate.1 An inspection report and a certificate must be supplied to the

engineer at the completion of the project. All tests results shall be registered in a booklet to be included with the inspection report.
