SYSTEM TESTINGThe Kidde System not only features simplified testing,but more important it features an arrangement whichpermits the entire detection sequence of operations tobe tested easily and effectively. No replacement partsare needed after test. Here is how it is done. (Applicableto the electric and pneumatic systems.)1.Disconnect the control head from thecontrol cylinders. This simply involvesloosening and removing a unionconnection.2.Place heat under the thermostats orsmoke around the ionization detector andcheck that control heads have operated.3.Reset control heads before re-attaching tocylinders. Reset control heads that areattached to directional valves. Thisarrangement permits detectors to betested without removing them from thecircuit. (Most detectors reset themselvesautomatically. The electric control headsrequire no replacement, simply resetting.In this way you are assured that the actualparts reinstalled have been given athorough test.)APPROVED SYSTEMSKidde pressure operated systems are the result of manyyears of development, research and retesting. Theequipment is fully listed by Underwriters Laboratoriesand Factory Mutual Laboratories approved. MarineSystems are also U.S. Coast Guard approved. FIG. 15Check these important advantages:All operating parts completely enclosed;not subject to fouling or accidentaloperation.No falling weights.No parts to replace after operation.Visual inspection can determine ifcylinders have been operated.All vital operating parts can be easilytested.Now, before fire starts, is the time to plan your fireprotection.
