Page 6: Risk Assessment
To prevent injury to the user or damage to the testing system, it is necessary that you read the information in this manual carefully before starting to use the testing system. This manual is intended for both correct installation as well as for operation and mainte- nance of the testing system. 1.5 Risk assessment When correctly installed and operated as intended the Zone-Lux has no influence on the ® effectiveness of the extinguishing system. Accidental activation of the pump for testing the flow switch can lead to a false alarm. -

Page 9: Installation
INSTALLATION AND MODE OF OPERATION 3.2 Installation A gap corresponding to the installation dimension must be provided for between the pipe ends of the sprinkler group where the Zone-Lux is installed. The pipe ends must be ® parallel. The additional weight is to be taken into account with the pipe brackets. Installation in the piping of the sprinkler system is done with the help of couplings that are certified for use in sprinkler systems. The certified couplings are to be mounted according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The delay time of the flow switch can be configured with the help of the manufacturer’s data sheet. It may not exceed the maximum delay time specified in the installation guide- lines that are used. For the nominal sizes DN150 and DN200 the pump of the Zone-Lux ® requires a start-up time of approx. 15 seconds; this must be taken into account when configuring the delay... - Page 10 » Ball valve, 3/4 internal/external thread » » 90° elbow, 3/4 internal/external thread » » Dummy plug 1/2 » » Ball valve, 1/2 internal/external thread » » Union nut 1 1/2 » » Backflow preventer Tab. 1 Zone-Lux components ® © MECON GmbH BA/ Zone-Lux® / EN / 23-05...

For work on the electrical installation specialized skills are required. For this reason, such work may only be performed by trained and qualified electricians. 3.5.2 Pump and flow detector/flow switch connection The pump and flow detector/flow switch are to be connected according to the supplied documents. 3.5.3 Connecting the Zone-Lux to the key switch ® Fig. 7 Key switch connection diagram © MECON GmbH BA/ Zone-Lux® / EN / 23-05... -
Page 13: Commissioning
Fig. 8 Overview of main pipe commissioning It is necessary to vent air in the bypass line with the pump. » A suitable hose is to be connected to the air-venting valve (1), to catch any water that escapes. » Open the shut-off valves (2) and (4). » Open the air-venting valve (1) until water escapes, then close it. » Perform test cycle on Zone-Lux ® » If the pump does not run smoothly or if the flow switch does not trigger, vent the air again. © MECON GmbH BA/ Zone-Lux® / EN / 23-05... -

Once the flow switch trips, the green LED also lights up. The flow switch is only OK if both LEDs light up simultaneously. Ensure that you check whether the relevant fire alarm arrives at the fire alarm control panel. If this is the case, the test was a success and you can set the key switch to the “Off” position. The key can only be pulled out in position “Off”! © MECON GmbH BA/ Zone-Lux® / EN / 23-05... -

No hazard due to temperature, heat radiation or electric arcs exists. The restrictions for the ambient conditions and conditions of use and the fasteners/ mounts as well as installation of the components/housing assume that no mechanical hazards occur and the electric equipment can withstand the expected loads. If the suitable, specified cable is used, sufficiently safe insulation can be assumed. © MECON GmbH BA/ Zone-Lux® / EN / 23-05... - Page 20 MECON GmbH Roentgenstr. 105 50169 Kerpen Germany Tel.: +49 (0) 2237 600 06 - 0 Email: info@mecon.de Web: www.mecon.de © MECON GmbH BA/ Zone-Lux® / EN / 23-05...
