MANUAL ACTUATOR

DESCRIPTION
The Manual Actuator (MA), Fike P/N 10-2225, provides an independent means of
operating Fike clean agent systems which use the Gas Cartridge Actuator (GCA). It
is designed to allow activation of GCAs in stand alone mode or supplementary to a
normal releasing system in the event of a total power loss.
The MA consists of a DC generator and a supervisory module. The generator
produces enough energy to fire up to six GCAs. The supervisory module
supervises the field wiring between the MA and each GCA. The supervisory
module annunciates a trouble condition by the transfer of two sets of normally
energized relay contacts. The supervisory module requires a separate 24Vdc power
source. Since the DC generator does not require a 24Vdc power source, power is
not required to activate the GCAs.
The MA provides two green LEDs for indication of system status. The green
power LED indicates status of 24Vdc power. If the LED is not illuminated, then
24Vdc power is not present. The green GCA circuit LED indicates a GCA wiring
fault. If an “open” exists in the GCA wiring or 24Vdc power is not present then
this green LED will not illuminate.
The MA also provides two sets of normally energized relay contacts. A loss of
24Vdc power and/or an “open” in the GCA wiring will cause the relay contacts to
transfer.
The MA also provides an arm/disable switch which will safely disconnect the MA
from the GCA circuit for testing or maintenance purposes. The switch will not
disconnect the GCAs from other sources of power such as a releasing panel.

OPERATION
To operate the MA, simply pull the ring pin and push the handle up a quarter turn.
This action will provide the power necessary to activate all GCAs. Exit the hazard
area.

INSTALLATION
The Manual Actuator should be mounted as close to the Clean Agent containers as
possible. Consideration should be given for convenience of operation and egress
from the hazard area.
