PREPARATION FOR USE

2-1 UNPACKING AND HANDLING.

2-2 New Unit. The new 150 pound, wheeled, liquified gas, fire extinguisher will be received at the operation site as a completely assembled, uncharged and unpressurized unit. A tag will be attached which says: "CAUTION This extinguisher is not charged. Follow charging instructions in service manual before putting to use. Remove tag only after extinguisher is properly charged." Special unpacking procedures are not required. When handling the fire extinguisher, observe the normal precautions used when handling equipment to be pressurized and avoid damage that might occur when dropping it.

2-3 New Unit. Cylinder & valve assemblies from the factory have been internally dried and contain dry nitrogen at 5 psig or slightly above. The discharge valve should remain closed until the extinguisher is charged.

2-4 Used Unit. The fire extinguisher will be received at the maintenance site as a completely assembled empty or partially filled, pressurized unit. The unit may or may not be packaged. Unpacking and handling procedures are the same as for a new unit, as applicable.

2-5 PREPARATION FOR OPERATION.

2-6 The fire extinguisher is designed to withstand environmental exposure; therefore, the unit should be stored in a convenient, readily detected location. New units need to be charged with Halon 1211 and nitrogen before they are ready to use. Refer to Service Maintenance paragraph 5-9.

2-7 To ensure used units are ready for operation, visually inspect the pressure gauge and agent level gauge. The pressure gauge should be in the green zone, 200 ± 20 psig range and the pointer in the agent level gauge should indicate agent level at the full mark, 150 pounds.

2-8 Temperature of extinguisher can affect pressure gauge reading and agent level gauge reading. Nominal "properly charged" marking on both gauges is correct for 70°F (21°C). Generally as temperature goes up the two gauge readings go up and conversely low temperature results in low gauge readings.

2-9 The relative pressure gauge vs temperature reading for the Amerex 150 pound Halon wheeled extinguisher is as follows:

2-10 It is best to inspect gauge readings when unit temperature is near 70°F. Tables 2-9, 2-12 are of use in estimating unit pressure and agent fill conditions at other temperatures.

Temperature °F: -40 32 70°F 120 135 Pressure Gauge psig: 127 168 200 263 288 Temperature °C: 140 0 21°C 49 57 2-1

2-11 The Pressure-Temperature Chart is attached to the cylinder top. The minimum psig and maximum gauge read-ings are found directly to the left of where a vertical line from the selected temperature cuts through the two curves.

The gauge reading will be between the minimum and maxi-mum points on a properly charged unit.

Figure 2-1.

2-12 The cylinder contains Halon 1211 agent in mostly liquid form. Agent level gauge uses a float to sense liquid level and position gauge point. Height of liquid agent above the inside bottom of container is as follows:

The liquid level height changes +1.40 in. to -1.25 in. from the nominal 70°F position over the operating temperature range.

2-13 Temperatures of 90°F and above will cause the agent level indicator on a properly charged unit to read well up into the overcharged area. If confirmation of a proper amount of Halon 1211 charge is required, weigh the unit and compare with the gross weight shown on the extinguisher label.

2-14 Temperatures below 40°F will cause the agent level indicator to show below the FULL mark. Units in cold environ-ments may be check weighted or brought inside for warm up to determine a satisfactory agent fill weight.

2-15 Weighing the unit on a scale is the most accurate method to determine if an extinguisher is properly charged.

SECTION III

THEORY OF OPERATION

3-1 EXTINGUISHING AGENT.

3-2 The extinguishing agent Halon 1211 (BCF) is a halogenated hydrocarbon chemically identified as bromochlorodifluo-romethane. Its chemical symbol is CBrC1F2. Halon 1211 is a colorless, faintly sweet-smelling, electrically nonconductive gas, at ambient conditions having an approximate boiling point of 25°F (-3.4°C) and a freezing point of -256°F (-160°C).

Halon 1211 is a liquified gas under its own vapor pressure in a closed container at ambient temperatures.

3-3 Halon 1211 is a clean, multipurpose fire fighting agent. Effective for Class ABC fires, Halon 1211 extinguishes by chemically interrupting the fire chain reaction, the continuing combination of oxygen, fuel and heat. Halon 1211 does not extinguish by depleting the oxygen supply. Discharged as an 85% liquid/15% vapor stream, Halon 1211 offers long discharge range, which helps the operator to stay at a safe distance while fighting a fire. The liquid/vapor discharge allows Halon 1211 to flow around obstructions when extinguishing tough-to-reach fires.

3-4 Halon 1211 has a low level of toxicity. It has been approved for use in portable fire extinguishers by Underwriters Laboratories in Standard No. 1093 and in local applications by NFPA in Standard No. 12B (1990 edition) and NFPA403 (2003 edition). The Federal Aviation Administration Advisory Circular 20-42B also recommends the use of Halon 1211 portables on commercial aircraft.

Although Halon 1211 vapor has a low toxicity, its decomposition products can be hazardous. On decompo-sition, Halon 1211 has a characteristic sharp, acrid odor, even in concentrations of only a few parts per million. The odor characteristic provides a built-in warning system for the agent and at the same time creates a noxious irritating atmosphere for those who are in the hazard area during and following a fire.

Leave and/or ventilate the area after fighting the fire.

3-5 Physical characteristics of Halon 1211 are indicated in Table 3-1.

3-7 EQUIPMENT OPERATION.

3-8 In a charged extinguisher ready for operation, the extinguishing agent is stored under pressure in the cylinder assembly and retained in the cylinder by the cylinder discharge valve. Operating the cylinder discharge valve lever opens the discharge valve allowing pressurized extinguishing agent to flow from the cylinder via the cylinder syphon tube through the discharge valve to the extinguisher hose and nozzle valve assembly.

3-9 With the nozzle valve closed, the extinguisher nozzle with hose attached can be carried by hand to the fire hazard.

With pressurized extinguishing agent up to the nozzle, opening the nozzle valve will permit agent flow through the nozzle to the fire. Pictographic operating instructions on the extinguisher illustrate how to put it into operation.

3-10 The fire extinguisher includes a pressure gauge and safety outlet. The pressure gauge indicates the cylinder internal pressure. In the eventuality that a high cylinder pressure buildup should occur, the safety outlet is designed to relieve at 400 to 500 psig.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

4-1 CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENTS.

4-2 Pressure Gauge. The fire extinguisher, see figure 4-1, includes a pressure gauge. The pressure gauge is used to monitor the cylinder pressure.

4-3 Discharge Valve and Lever. The discharge valve, which includes pressure gauge and safety outlet, is used to retain the agent contents in the cylinder, see figure 4-1. The Discharge Valve includes a hand operated lever that operates the Discharge Valve to allow or stop agent flow from the cylinder to the hose and nozzle valve assembly. The safety outlet relieves pressure at 400 to 500 psig.

4-4 Nozzle Valve and Lever. The nozzle valve is located at the free hose end and is used to retain the agent in the hose, see figure 4-1. The nozzle valve includes a hand operated lever that operates the nozzle valve to allow or stop the discharge of agent through the extinguisher nozzle.

4-5 Nozzle. The nozzle is located on the outlet side of the nozzle valve, see figure 4-1.

4-6 Agent Level Gauge. The agent level gauge provides a visual display of the level of liquified Halon 1211 in the cylinder.

4-7 Pressure Valve. The pressure valve is located on the discharge valve, see figure 4-1. The valve is used during cylinder assembly service recharge.

4-8 OPERATION.

4-9 Pre-Operation Procedure. Transport the fire extinguisher to the fire hazard area and locate the extinguisher within the scope of the 50 foot long hose. At the fire hazard site, position fire extinguisher in vertical position with wheels off ground.

NOTE

The extinguisher may be operated in either the vertical or reclined position. However, the unit in the reclined position will discharge less agent.

4-10 Operation Procedure. Perform unit operation, see figure 4-1, as follows:

Make certain the discharge nozzle is closed (down position) and the extinguisher is upright before begin-ning the following steps.

1. Pull on pin to remove and open tank discharge valve by rotating (pulling) valve lever at top of tank toward the hose 90°. The hose is now pressurized.

2. Pull the nozzle with lever in the CLOSED position from the hose storage mount and extend the hose toward the fire.

Change 6 4-1

3. NOTE: Stand at least 30 feet away from fire before opening the nozzle valve.

Grasp nozzle firmly and aim nozzle at base of fire.

Be prepared for backward reaction (movement) of the nozzle as discharge begins.

4. Hold hose and nozzle firmly to allow for discharge recoil. Open nozzle by pulling handle toward you.

The concentrated agent and the by-products resulting from application to a fire are toxic when inhaled.

After use, leave the area and ventilate well before returning. Symptoms of over-exposure to pure Halon 1211 are: dizziness, impaired coordination, and reduced mental acuity.
