1. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The TEC601 is an all-in-one fire and extinguishing rack-mountable control system designed to protect

electronic equipment in server room cabinets. The unit can detect a fire with the built-in conventional point

detectors or the external zone and release either the built-in or externally mounted Stat-X aerosol

generators.

Upon activation, the generators produce an exceptionally effective, ultra-fine, potassium-based aerosol.

Unlike gaseous systems, Stat-X aerosol generators are very cost-effective to install and maintain –as they

do not require the pressure vessels, piping or expensive installation costs associated with other

extinguishing systems. Space and weight requirements are minimal. On an agent weight basis, Stat-X

aerosol is ten times more effective than gaseous agent alternatives. The Stat-X generator’s effectiveness is

a function of its patented design, aerosol composition, and ultra-fine particle size. Fire suppression is rapidly

achieved through interference between the ultra-fine aerosol particulate and the flame’s free radicals –

terminating propagation of the fire. Stat-X aerosol generators are virtually maintenance-free and have a

service life of over ten years. This, coupled with low installation costs, makes it an extremely cost-effective

fire protection solution. Furthermore, the extinguishant can also easily be replaced after a discharge to

minimise any downtime.

The TEC601 also provides relay outputs for the monitoring of Fire, Fault, and Discharge conditions. A third

fire detection zone is also available which can be used to connect to an additional detector that may be

positioned elsewhere in the equipment cabinet.

A power output for the equipment rack Air Handling Unit (AHU) is also provided to allow the TEC601 to shut

down the air-handling unit just before the release of the extinguishant.

The TEC601 can store 1,022 time-stamped events in non-volatile memory on a FIFO (First-in-First-out)

basis. The event log is easily downloaded via the built-in USB port.

6. QUICKSTART / INSTALLATION

Step 1

Unpack the TEC601 that includes: 1x TEC601 Extinguishing Panel, 1x Mains Cable, and 1x Key.

Step 2

The unit is already connected to the internal battery and therefore it is not necessary to wire the

internal batteries. Should you need to replace the batteries, then connect the batteries as follows:

1. Red lead to red (+) battery terminal on battery A.

2. Black lead to black (–) battery terminal on battery B.

3. Use link to connect black (–) battery terminal on battery A to red (+) terminal on battery B.

4. Place the batteries into the space provided and secure with the battery clamp.

NB: New off-the-shelf batteries may not be able to pass an initial load test. Should you still get a

supply fault (battery load fail), reset the panel and the battery will be re-tested and charged if

required with no supply fault.

Step 3

Mount and connect Stat-X unit.

Refer to FIGURE 1 TEC601 General Assembly on page 2.

Step 4

Secure the main panel cover.

Step 5

Securely position the unit into the section of the cabinet, adhering to recommended clearances.

Refer to FIGURE 4 Minimum Recommended Clearances on page 3.

Step 6

Ensure that the discharge area at the rear of the unit is free from obstruction for 300 mm to the rear of

the enclosed cabinet.

Refer to FIGURE 4 Minimum Recommended Clearances on page 3.

Step 7

Connect the sounder to the sounder terminals at the rear of the panel.

Refer to FIGURE 6 Sounder & 3rd Zone Using External Smoke Detector or

FIGURE 7 Sounder & 3rd Zone Using Linear Heat Cable on page 6.

Step 8

Plug the main cable into the rear of the unit and the other end into a 230 V AC power source.

Step 9

Plug and supply the AHU from the AHU socket at the back of the panel.

Refer to FIGURE 2 TEC601 Enclosure Back View on page 2.

Step 10

Switch the unit on (at the back of the unit).

NB: The cabinet is now protected.

When initially plugged in, the panel will carry out a lamp test followed by a battery test.

Only the POWER ON, AHU SUPPLY ON and MANUAL LEDs will remain on, indicating that the unit has no

fault.

NB: The back section of the server cabinet should be closed to ensure Stat-X extinguishant distribution.

The technician must ensure that all faults and fires have cleared before the Stat-X unit is replaced

after a discharge, as there is a chance that its monitoring resistance remains within specification

after a discharge. There is also a chance that the smoke particles remain in the smoke detectors for a

prolonged period that would result in another fire condition after reset or power on.

7. PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

When the panel is powered on or reset, all the LEDs on the front panel will light up; the SYSTEM FAULT

LED will flash, and a self-check is performed. Thereafter, in the normal state, the green POWER ON, AHU

SUPPLY ON and MANUAL LEDs will be on continuously.

On first time power-up, the panel will default to MANUAL mode. The key switch only toggles the MANUAL &

AUTO and MANUAL ONLY modes and the mode is determined by the respective illuminated LED and not

by the position of the key switch.

Should there be an under- or over voltage supply, the panel will automatically switch to battery. The SUPPLY

FAULT and GENERAL FAULT LEDs will flash and the buzzer will sound only if the mains fault continues for

30 seconds and will need to be reset by following the process to Silence or Reset a fault condition as

indicated in Table 2. The panel will automatically switch between mains and battery.

NB: The fire detection and extinguishing functions will not function when a battery fault and mains fault

occur simultaneously, as there would then be no reliable power source available.

The discharge, battery, zones, and sounder circuits are also monitored for short or open circuit and the

GENERAL FAULT LED will flash, together with the applicable FAULT LED, should any of these conditions

be present.

7.1 OPERATION IN AUTO & MANUAL MODE

The automatic release of the extinguishant requires two separate fire alarm signals from any of the three

zones, otherwise known as “double knock”. These signals, referred to within this manual as 1st Knock (signal

from first zone in fire) and 2nd Knock (signal from second zone in fire), will only be recognised if the

extinguishing control panel is switched to Auto & Manual mode.

On 1st Knock the panel will

- illuminate the GENERAL FIRE LED and the respective zone FIRE LED

- the internal buzzer and external sounder circuit will be activated

On 2nd Knock the panel will

- illuminate the GENERAL FIRE LED and the respective zone FIRE LED

- the internal buzzer and external sounder circuit will be activated

- illuminate the RELEASE INITIATED LED

- and after the set time delay (15 seconds), the Extinguishant Release output is activated to trigger the Stat-X.

The automatic release signal can be stopped during the INITIATED stage by switching the panel to MANUAL

mode. If after investigation, it is desirable to release the extinguishant, then either activate the manual

release call point or switch back to AUTO & MANUAL mode. The extinguishant release delay cycle will

restart from the beginning of the set time delay.

During a discharge, the “EXTINGUISHANT RELEASED” LED will flash twice per second. After a discharge

has taken place, the “EXTINGUISHANT RELEASED” LED will remain on.

A manual reset on the TEC601 is required before the panel will be able to reset to Normal.

7.2 OPERATION IN MANUAL ONLY MODE

Manual release of the extinguishant is achieved by lifting the protector flap and pushing the “RELEASE

EXTINGUISHANT” pushbutton. Once this has been activated the following occurs:

- The GENERAL FIRE LED will illuminate

- The internal buzzer and the sounder output will be activated

- The RELEASE INITIATED LED will illuminate

- After the pre-programmed 15-second delay has timed out the extinguishant release output is activated.

During a discharge, the “EXTINGUISHANT RELEASED” LED will flash twice per second. After a discharge

has taken place, the “EXTINGUISHANT RELEASED” LED will remain on.

A manual reset on the TEC601 is required before the panel will be able to reset to Normal.
