1- General description

This TOTALPAC®3integrated fire protection system by

FIREFLEX Systems Inc. consists of a wet pipe system trim

totally pre-assembled, pre-wired and factory tested. All

electrical and mechanical components of the system are

contained in one single unit.

Note:Skid units include the trim components only and must

be wired by the installing contractor.

The only connections required for installation are the water

supply inlet, the water discharge outlet, the main drain and

the electrical supervisory and alarm connections. The

discharge outlet is connected to a fixed piping network.

Water is the extinguishing agent.

On system piping network, closed heat sensitive automatic

sprinklers are spaced and located in accordance with

recognized installation standards in order to detect a fire.

Only those sprinklers immediately over or near to fire

operate.

Wet pipe system uses automatic sprinklers on the system

piping network, which is filled with pressurized water.A

low water pressure gives a supervisory signal.

Wet pipe system is designed so the alarm check valve will

open when an important loss of water pressure from the

system piping network occurs. When the alarm check

valve opens, water will flow into the system piping network

and out of any open automatic sprinklers and other

opening on the system. The opening of the alarm check

valve gives an alarm signal.

Note: Every TOTALPAC®3unit is identified with its unique

serial number. This number is located on an adhesive

label inside the main door panel and is used to maintain a

record in our computerized data base. Have this serial

number handy when calling for information on your unit

(format is TOT3#### or TOTS#### for skid units).

6- Configuration description

TOTALPAC ®3 wet pipe system is built around the Viking

trim using alarm check valve model J-1.

The valve is rated up to a maximum of 250 PSI WWP

(1724 kPa) and is available in the following diameters:

 3" (80 mm)  6" (150 mm)

 4" (100 mm)  8" (200 mm)

TOTALPAC ®3 wet pipe system is supplied with groove/

groove alarm check valve. Unit with flange/flange alarm

check valve is also available on request.

6.1 Wet pipe system

The system piping network is pressurized with water. The

wet pipe system uses the Viking alarm check valve which

opens by the fusing of an automatic sprinkler in the system

piping network.

The water pressure of the system piping network above

the alarm check valve is equal or greater than the inlet

pressure beneath the alarm check valve, which maintain

the alarm check valve closed.

In fire condition, when an automatic sprinkler fuses on the

system piping network, it release the pressure above the

alarm check valve, causing the alarm check valve to open.

Water will flow from the wet pipe system through opened

sprinklers.

6.1.1 Wet pipe system with excess pressure pump

An excess pressure pump (1/3 or 1/2 HP) ensures that the

system piping network pressure above the alarm valve is

greater than the inlet pressure beneath the alarm valve.

6.1.2 Wet pipe system with retard chamber

The Viking retard chamber model C-1 reduces the

possibility of false alarms due to changes in water

pressure.

1.3Placing the system in service

1. Verify that the main water supply valve (D1) is CLOSED

and that the system is free of leaks. CLOSE main drain

valve (D3).

2. OPEN the inspector's test valve and all auxiliary vents to

allow air to escape from the system while it is filling with

water.

Note : For proper operation of the wet pipe system and to

minimize unwanted (false) alarms, it is important to

remove trapped air from the system when filling it with

water. Air trapped in the system may also cause

intermittent operation of the water motor alarm during

sustained flow of water (such as the flow required by an

open sprinkler or the system test valve). Consider

installation of auxiliary vents to facilitate venting.

3. If desired, CLOSE the hydraulic alarm cut-off valve (B6)

to prevent local alarms from operating while filling the

system.

4. Slowly OPEN the main water supply valve (D1).

5. Allow the system to be completely fill with water. Allow

water to flow from the system test valve, and from any

other open vents provided, until all air is exhausted from

the system.

6. After all air is exhausted from the system, CLOSE the

inspector test valve and all other open vents.

7. If installed, the excess pressure pump (B14) should

stop.

8. The pressure gauge (B13) on the system side of the

alarm check valve (A1) should indicate water pressure

equal or greater than the pressure gauge (B12) located

on the supply side of the alarm check valve.

9. OPEN the hydraulic alarm cut-off valve (B6) and verify

that all other valves are secured in their normal

operating position (see paragraph 2.1 NORMAL

CONDITION of the current section).

10. Notify the AUTHORITY HAVING JURISDICTION, remote

station alarm monitors, and those in the affected area

that the system is in service.

For additional information describing individual

components of the specific Viking wet pipe system, refer to

current Viking technical data, available on Viking web site.

Also refer to applicable installation standards, codes and

Authorities Having Jurisdiction.

1.4System Operation

1.4.1 In the SET condition

In the normal SET condition, the system piping is filled with

water. The water pressure is kept equal or higher on the

system side of the alarm check valve (A1) than on the

water supply side.

If applicable, the excess pressure pump (B14) maintains

higher pressure on the system side.

1.4.2 In a fire condition

When an automatic sprinkler fuses on the system piping

network, it allows the water to flow. The alarm check

valve (A1) opens by the flow of water allowing pressurized

water to enter the alarm port to activate the alarm

devices (C1 and optional C2 and C3).

Sprinkling continues until the main water supply valve (D1)

is manually closed.

1.4.3 Supervisory condition

Intermittent alarms

Bleed air from the high points of the system. If the system

pressure is seldom, if ever, greater than supply pressure,

drain the system and check valve rubber and by-pass

check valve rubber for cold flow and sealing efficiency.

Clean valve seats and replace rubbers as necessary.

False alarms

If water pressure surges produce false alarms check the

following:

a) Air trapped in the system piping network can cause

false alarms, alarms to cycle on and off during testing

and other nuisance problems. To fix this problem,

bleed as much air as possible from the trapped high

points of system piping. This condition can be

minimized by opening the remote inspectors test

valve and slowly filling the system with water when

placing the system in service.

b) Clean drain restriction on retarding chamber trim.

c) Clean or replace check valve on external by-pass

trim.

d) Clean or replace alarm valve clapper rubber.
