CSD FIELD TECHNICAL INSTRUCTION

Subject: Improved Fire Detector FTI No: 0272

Applicable: All MS3000, MS5000, MS6000,

MS7000 and MS9000 Gas
Turbines

1. Purpose

To inform users about a new design fire detector being used in current
production gas turbines.

2. Background/Discussion

Based on a recent quality study, enhancements have been incorporated into

current design fire detectors. These enhancements are designed to eliminate the
most frequently occuring issues with existing detectors. The criteria used in the
improvement process was Military Standard 202F (Humidity Test) which requires
the detector to withstand a high humidity environment. The results have
generated a detector which is hermetically sealed at the transition tube, which
has been shown to extend the life of the device. Additional improvements were
made in the accessory and load compartment areas by tailoring the set points to
reflect actual compartment temperatures based on field studies. The new fire
detector has been certified by UL, CSA and DEMKO.

3. Recommendations

At the next normal replacement interval the new design detectors should be
installed. The user may also elect to install a fire detector with a lower setpoint
which is now available, based on completion of a field study.

Contact your local KEL representative for assistance or for additional information.
