Installation of Electric Control Heads

(P/N WK-890181-000 and 82-486500-010)

Follow all instructions contained in the main body of the DIOM up to this section.
Before installing a control head on an agent cylinder valve, ensure the control
head is in the SET position (that is, the actuating pin is in the fully retracted or
SET position). Failure to position the control head in the SET position will result
in accidental agent cylinder discharge when the control head is installed on
cylinder valve. Personal injury and/or property damage could occur.
WARNING
Electric Control Head, P/N 82-486500-010 is designed for Kidde 1½ in, 2 in, and
2½ in agent cylinder valves only. Installing this control head on any other
device (for example, pressure operated control head) will cause the device to
malfunction when the control head is actuated.
1. Remove the protection cap from the agent cylinder actuation port. Ensure the control head
is in SET position (that is, the actuating pin is in the fully retracted or SET position).
2. Insert the Control Head Monitor (P/N 85-100000-001) between the control head and the
cylinder valve as shown in Figure 3 for the Electrical Control Head and Figure 5 for the
Stackable Electric Control Head.
3. Install the electric control head on the cylinder actuation port. Tighten the swivel nut.
Note: When installed, the Control Head Monitor does not sit completely snug against the
valve. This play allows for easier attachment of conduit to the component.
The placement supervision signal is not a substitute for ensuring proper
interlock of the actuator plunger to the valve core assembly. Make sure the
WARNING
control head is properly seated.
4. If installing the Stackable Electric Control Head (P/N 82-486500-010), install the Lever Op-
erated Control Head to the top of the Stackable Electric Control Head.
5. Make all electrical connections as outlined in the DIOM.
For US and Canada Explosion proof installations, seal all conduits within 18
inches from the end of the component.
WARNING
Note: P/N 82-486500-010 is a polarized control head. Improper wiring will cause the device
to malfunction.
