The 52 DA is equipped with an automatic fire
extinguisher system located forward of the engines
on the bulkhead (see Fig. 4.17.1). In the event of a
fire, the heat sensitive automatic head will release
the extinguishant as a vapor, totally flooding the
area in fire-killing concentrations. The system
indicator light is wired to the ignition and is turned
ON when the ignition is turned ON.
The system incorporates an engine shutdown
switch with override system.
The indicator light, located on the control station
instrument panel, indicates to the helmsman when
the unit has discharged. Under normal
circumstances, when the engines are operating, the
charge indicator light is lit. If the unit discharges, the
charge light will go out and the discharge light will
come on.
WHEN ACTUATION OCCURS, IMMEDIATELY
SHUT DOWN ALL ENGINES, POWERED
VENTILATION, ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS AND
EXTINGUISH ALL SMOKING MATERIALS. DO
NOT IMMEDIATELY OPEN THE ENGINE
COMPARTMENT!! THIS FEEDS OXYGEN TO THE
FIRE AND FLASHBACK COULD OCCUR.

Allow the extinguishant to "soak" the compartment
for at least fifteen (15) minutes and for hot metals
or fuels to cool before cautiously inspecting for
cause of damage. Have portable extinguishers at
hand and ready. Do not breathe fumes or vapors
caused by the fire.

ANUAL
Located at the control station, the manual fire
extinguisher system allows the operator to manually
activate the automatic extinguisher in the engine
room. Early detection and use of the manual
override system will reduce fire damage by
eliminating the time necessary for heat in the engine
room to rise to a temperature necessary to activate
the automatic fire extinguisher.
