    Flap Blade Replacement If the wear liner is worn or if there has been an explosion you will need to replace the flap Cover removed blade. If there was an explosion refer to the section on explosions and valve activation to determine if other parts are damaged.

  • Page 141: Activation Sensor

    Activation Sensor Your Camfil APC flow activated flap valve, the Stinger, may be equipped with an activation sensor. This sensor will signal if the valve has been activated due to a deflagration. It should not signal when the valve closes during system shut down. If a signal is received when the system fan is shut down then the valve latching mechanism is not working properly and should be inspected and adjusted immediately.

  • Page 142: Sensor Wiring

    The activation sensor can be wired in normally open or normally close positions. Use the wiring schematic below to connect your interlock circuit. Camfil APC recommends that the circuit be wired using the normally closed position so that cable faults would be detected.
