Louvers

The louvers are located on top of the unit on the

intake and exhaust. They are pneumatically

controlled using solenoid valves. Activation of

the valve opens the louvers, deactivation closes.

There are indicator lights on the DIN connectors

for the valves to show if power is present or not.

The louvers are opened and shut using a

pneumatic cylinder. The cylinder has a spring

extension so that the loss of power will force the

louvers shut. Check valves are in place so that if

compressed air is lost or low, the louvers will not shut blocking air flow to the unit. Compressed air is

not required to close the louvers, only to open them due to the spring extension.

The door is sealed using bubble gasket. The seal is only to block air flow, and is not necessarily a

100% seal.

The louvers close to prevent airflow when the fire suppression system is activated. On multi-module

units, louvers are used for each intake and exhaust.

Fire Suppression Agent

The fire suppression agent generator is activated by the 24VDC signal from the controller or the heat

detection tubing. Once started, it cannot be stopped. Dry Chemical Agent is ejected into the filter

compartment. The agent interferes with the combustion reaction.

The fire bottle containing the fire suppression agent is mounted outside of the unit.

Additional Sprinkler

An additional sprinkler can be added to the unit to help extinguish fire. A ½” pipe can be found

hanging out of the unit. This pipe routes to the filter compartment side. This pipe allows for additional

water sprinkler to be added to the unit to help extinguish fire and needs to be connected to water

supply.
