System Operation
When a fire is detected inside the engine
compartment, the system sends a fire alarm signal
to the Protection Panel located in the driver's area
near the lateral control panel. The Protection Panel
immediately turns on the fire "ALARM" lamp and
sounds the audio alarm. After a 15- second time
delay the engine is automatically shut down. The fire
extinguisher is discharged simultaneously with
engine shutdown.
NOTE
The Protection Panel continuously monitors
system integrity and displays the information via
the "SYSTEM OK" and fire "TROUBLE" indicators.
NOTE
The Manual Activation Switch is used when
immediate discharge of the fire extinguisher and
engine shutdown is desired.
Operational Sequence (Fire)
The engine will stop 15 seconds after the fire alarm
starts. The operator must be prepared to bring the
vehicle to a safe stop as soon as the alarm
sounds. Steering may become difficult after engine
shutdown. If more time is required, the "DELAY
ENGINE STOP" switch may be pressed and
released for an additional 15 second delay.
The extinguisher discharge may cause an
obscuring cloud behind and near the vehicle.
