Mounting above the discharge level or long distances from the CCs will affect the low flow performance of the control- ler by raising its low flow minimum. Mounting the controller below the discharge lowers its minimum flow requirement;... -

3.0 CONCENTRATE PiPiNG CCS In order to prevent the inversion of the concentrate stored in the CCs bladder to the water system, it is recommended that the concentrate controller be located level with the top discharge of the CCs tank. In addition, a concentrate isola- tion valve should be installed in the concentrate pipe between the CCs and the concentrate controller for either manual of automatic systems. - Page 6 Viking can provide a thermal relief valve that is compatible for this service. Refer to our schematic diagram for its recom- mended locations. Please specify when ordering whether the tank will be installed pressurized or not.

6. CLOsE VALVE NO. 6, THEN CLOsE VALVE NO. 4. Step 3: Check for water at Valve No. 7. If water has appeared, and if water flow continues, consult the CCs supplier before proceeding. If no water appears, proceed to next step. - Page 13 Step 5: Connect air source to Valve No.5 (see Figure No.1 and Figure No.4 and fill bladder with air (10 PsI maxi- mum) through Valve No. 5 while displacing water through Valve No. 4. Continue until 25% of the water volume (10% for a horizontal unit) has been displaced.

The concentrate displaces the shell water. If tank pressure steadily decreases, it will be necessary to partially close Valve No. 4 to slow down the discharge of water. If tank pressure steadily increases, it will be necessary to partially (or fully) open Valve No. 6 to allow the pressure to drop back to 10 PsI. slowing the pump discharge will also lower the tank pressure. -

NOTE: iN SOME DELuGE iNSTALLATiONS, THE PiPiNG DESiGN MAY REquiRE THE TANK TO BE NORMALLY PRESSuRiZED. iF SO, FOLLOW STEPS 13-18. SHOuLD THERE BE quESTiONS CONCERNiNG WHEN OR HOW TO PRESSuRiZE THE TANK, CONTACT THE DESiGN ENGiNEER OR viKiNG. Step 13: Attach a water supply hose to Valve No. -

Step 17: Open Valve No. 1. Place all valves in normal position. Install all lock pins in proper locations (refer to “Valve Descriptions” on pages 5-6). Step 18: Inspect for piping leaks and correct, as necessary. 12.2 NORMALLY uN-PRESSuRiZED Step 19: Close all valves except for Valve No.’s 4 and 5. -

Valve No. 5. Close Valve No.’s 5 and 6. Step 3: Proceed with “CCs Filling Procedure” on page 10, steps 5 through 21. 13.2 LESS THAN 50% DiSCHARGE This method is to be used when less than 50% of the nominal tank volume has been discharged and determined. -

4. Before working on a CCs tank or any sprinkler riser components, close the manual concentrate valve (No. 1) and the water pressure valve (No. 2). Be aware that the CCs tank may still be under pressure. - Page 19 CONCENTRATE REMAIN. CONsULT VIkING FOR ACTUAL CAPACITIEs OF AR UNITs. NOTE: DIsPOsE OF ALL FOAM sOLUTION DIsCHARGED DURING TEsTING OR MAINTENANCE IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL CODEs AND REGULATIONs.

Page 20: Inspection Of Foam Concentrates
DIsCARD CONCENTRATE (PER MANUFACTURER’s RECOMMENDATIONs) IF FOUND DILUTED. CORRECT THE sOURCE OF DILUTION BEFORE REPLACING THE NEW CONCENTRATE INTO TANk. CONsULT VIkING FOR PROCEDUREs ON TEsTING INTEGRITY OF BLADDER. 16.0 BLADDER iNTEGRiTY TEST With the schematics for valve descriptions and the air test equipment for your reference, the air integrity test of the blad- der is as follows: 1. - Page 21 8. If no significant drop in pressure occurs, remove the airline and carefully release air from bladder. 9. If air pressure cannot be maintained within the bladder, please call Viking at 877-384-5464. The above test is best performed with the foam concentrate drained from the bladder. since most damage occurs in the upper portions of the bladder, this test will work with the bladder partially filled with concentrate.
