Operation

The unit is operated by the breaking of the glass. The
operator is protected from the broken glass by the vinyl
glass label.
Replacement of the glass
To replace the glass after operation of the unit, remove
the small outer cover held in place by the two off
slotted screws. Take out the glass and remove any
broken fragments from the unit. Place the new glass
element into the unit and replace the cover, ensuring
the 2 off slotted screws are tightened evenly. Following
replacement of the glass it is advised that the unit is
tested using the procedure outlined below.
Testing the unit
Using the test key provided, insert the key into the
test hole (situated on bottom right hand side of the
glass cover) and engage into test cam. Turn the key in a
clockwise direction (approximately 60°). This will simulate
the breaking of the glass. Release the key to reset
the callpoint.
MEDC DO NOT recommend forcing the test key
N Ntee:
further than 80° clockwise or 0° anti-clockwise as
this may lead to premature failure of the test cam

4.0 Maintenance

During the working life of the unit, it should require little
or no maintenance. GRP will resist attack by most acids,
alkalis and chemicals and is as resistant to concentrated
acids and alkalis as most metal products.
However, if abnormal or unusual environmental conditions
occur due to plant damage or accident etc., then visual
inspection is recommended.
If the unit requires cleaning, then only clean exterior with
a damp cloth to avoid electro-static charge build up.
If a unit fault should occur, then the unit can be repaired
by MEDC. All parts of the unit are replaceable.
If you acquired a significant quantity of units, then it
is recommended that spares are also made available.
Please discuss your requirements with the Technical Sales
Engineers at MEDC.
