ing pressure. The Pressure Relief Valve
(Item S- Figs. 16, 17, 18) is factory set to
fully open at 25 ± 2 psi (1,72 ± 0,14 bar)
and it begins to crack open at a pres-
sure of about 18 psi (1,24 bar).

Operation

The TYCO DV-5
a
style valve that depends upon water
pressure in the Diaphragm Chamber
(Ref. Figure 2A) to hold the Diaphragm
closed against the water supply
pressure.
When the DV-5 Valve is set for service,
a
the Diaphragm Chamber is pressurized
through the trim connections from the
2000 3000 5000
600 1000
VALVE
a
inlet side of the system's main control
valve.
Opening an actuation device, for
example the solenoid valve in the Elec-
tric Actuation Trim (Ref. Figure 6), trips
the Model MRA-1 Manual Reset Actua-
tor. Tripping the MRA-1 releases water
from the DV-5
faster than it can be replenished
through a 1/8 in. (3,2 mm) restriction
located in the Diaphragm Chamber
Supply Connection. Release of water
through the MRA-1 results in a rapid
pressure drop in the DV-5
Chamber. The force differential applied
through the Diaphragm to hold the
Diaphragm in the set position is then
Valve is a diaphragm
reduced below the valve trip point. The
water supply pressure then forces the
Diaphragm open permitting water to
flow into the system piping, as well as
through the Alarm Port to actuate the
system alarms (Ref. Figure 2B).
