5.3 Installation in Racing Cars
Singel-seaters should be equipped with four spray nozzles in the engine compartment, one of which
should be directed down towards the bottom plate of the engine compartment.
One nozzle should be placed either to the left or the right of the driver's helmet, pointing towards
his/her knees.
The same principles apply when installling Fogmaker in the engine compartment of a standard car.
Inside the cockpit, you should place one nozzle on each B post, as high up as possible. Install the
nozzles pointing crosswise down towards the driver's/passenger's feet. This means that the nozzle on
the right-hand B post should be directed towards the passenger's feet. Make sure that the water-mist
is not obstructed by the driver or passenger.
These systems should be equipped with double activation devices. The first should be easy to reach
for the driver, while the other should be placed on the outside of the car, clearly visible. Both
activation devices should be labelled with an (E) sticker.

Push the cable out of its casing again and attach the end socket/tensioners on the casing.
7
Cut the cables to 26 and 31 mm, respectively (Fig.4A). Slip the cable through the M6 hole of
the valve housing and screw on the cable tensioners.
8
Attach the cable screw-nipples (see Fig. 4B)
9
Insert the cable nipples into the milled-out grooves of the release catch, (Fig. 4C). Fasten the
cover (16). The cover will hold the cable nipples in place.
1 0 Fasten the last clamp as close to the valve as possible, in order to ensure that the cable casing is
properly fixed so that it can not move.
WARNING
When checking that the cable runs smoothly, the safety screw (7) of the release valve must be
mounted. This way the extinguisher will not be activated when you pull the handle, but you will be
able to establish that the cable runs smoothly and that the gap is sufficient (1-5 mm). You should test
the cable before it is attached to the valve.
3.2 Electrical Activation
As an alternative to manual activation, the valve can be activated electrically. The operator activates
the unit manually by pushing a button which activates and discharges the extinguishing system electrically.
Activation pull-cables can be combined with electrical activation.
3.3 Detector Activation
If Fogmaker
Universal is installed to protect an unattended space, you need a fully or semi-automatic
system which triggers extinction through detectors and a central unit in case of fire.
Detectors, which react to, for example, increasing temperature, smoke or visible flames, can be used.
Fogmaker International AB has developed several types of central units and alarm panels for different
applications. We offer optional accessories such as visual and acoustic alarms as well as automatic
engine, fuel and electricity shutdown mechanisms. Contact Fogmaker or your retailer for further
information. For installation instructions, see the user manual concerned.
