The Alarm Valve Combo Unit must be checked periodically. Parts that are broken, missing, worn, distorted or contaminated must be replaced immediately. Should such repair or replacement become necessary, please contact Amico Corporation or their distributors.
Introduction The Alarm Valve Combo Unit is a 2 in 1 design, which combines the Area Alarm and Zone Valve Box, to compensate for space restrictions. Amico Shutoff Valves are used to stop the flow of medical gas or vacuum in the medical gas distribution pipeline in cases of emergency or maintenance.
Installation of Alarm Valve Combo Unit Boxes The Amico Valve Combo Unit is shipped in one container holding two separate packages. One package contains the Alarm Valve Combo. The other package contains the window and the frame assembly. 1. Recessed Valve Box: anchor the valve box rough-in to the studs so that the front edge will be flush or slightly recessed with the finished wall.
Authorized hospital personnel should close shutoff valves in the event of fire, explosion or damage to the pipeline systems or equipment. In Alarm Valve Combo Unit boxes, the Shutoff Valve handles become accessible after the window has been removed from the valve box.
This module also contains a fail-safe relay that de-energizes when the buzzer is activated. This relay can be used with the Amico remote buzzer, for applications requiring a remote audible alarm (see Appendix B), for connection to another Amico alarm or a building management system.
