BE SURE THAT ALL INSTALLATION, OPERATION,
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR PROCEDURES ARE
PERFORMED ONLY BY QUALIFIED INDIVIDUALS.
1.d. Keep all equipment safety guards, covers
and devices in position and in good repair.
Keep hands, hair, clothing and tools away
from V-belts, gears, fans and all other
moving parts when starting, operating or
repairing equipment.
1.e. In some cases it may be necessary to remove safety guards to
perform required maintenance. Remove guards only when
necessary and replace them when the maintenance requiring
their removal is complete. Always use the greatest care when
working near moving parts.
1.f. Do not put your hands near the engine fan. Do not attempt to
override the governor or idler by pushing on the throttle control
rods while the engine is running.
1.g. To prevent accidentally starting gasoline engines while turning
the engine or welding generator during maintenance work,
disconnect the spark plug wires, distributor cap or magneto wire
as appropriate.
1.h. To avoid scalding, do not remove the radiator
pressure cap when the engine is hot.
ELECTRIC AND
MAGNETIC FIELDS MAY
BE DANGEROUS
2.a. Electric current flowing through any conductor
causes localized Electric and Magnetic Fields (EMF).
Welding current creates EMF fields around welding cables
and welding machines
2.b. EMF fields may interfere with some pacemakers, and
welders having a pacemaker should consult their physician
before welding.
FOR ENGINE POWERED
EQUIPMENT.
1.a. Turn the engine off before troubleshooting
and maintenance work unless the
maintenance work requires it to be running.
1.b. Operate engines in open, well-ventilated
areas or vent the engine exhaust fumes outdoors.
1.c. Do not add the fuel near an open flame
welding arc or when the engine is running.
Stop the engine and allow it to cool before
refueling to prevent spilled fuel from
vaporizing on contact with hot engine parts
and igniting. Do not spill fuel when filling
tank. If fuel is spilled, wipe it up and do not start engine until
fumes have been eliminated.
2.c. Exposure to EMF fields in welding may have other health effects
which are now not known.
2.d. All welders should use the following procedures in order to
minimize exposure to EMF fields from the welding circuit:
2.d.1. Route the electrode and work cables together - Secure
them with tape when possible.
2.d.2. Never coil the electrode lead around your body.
2.d.3. Do not place your body between the electrode and work
cables. If the electrode cable is on your right side, the
work cable should also be on your right side.
2.d.4. Connect the work cable to the workpiece as close as possible to the area being welded.
2.d.5. Do not work next to welding power source.
Safety 02 of 04 - 06/15/2016
SAFETY
ELECTRIC SHOCK
CAN KILL.
ARC RAYS CAN BURN.
3.a. The electrode and work (or ground) circuits are
electrically “hot” when the welder is on. Do
not touch these “hot” parts with your bare skin or wet clothing.
Wear dry, hole-free gloves to insulate hands.
4.a.
Use a shield with the proper filter and cover plates to protect your
eyes from sparks and the rays of the arc when welding or
observing open arc welding. Headshield and filter lens should
conform to ANSI Z87. I standards.
3.b. Insulate yourself from work and ground using dry insulation.
Make certain the insulation is large enough to cover your full area
of physical contact with work and ground.
4.b.
Use suitable clothing made from durable flame-resistant material
to protect your skin and that of your helpers from the arc rays.
4.c.
Protect other nearby personnel with suitable, non-flammable
screening and/or warn them not to watch the arc nor expose
themselves to the arc rays or to hot spatter or metal.
In addition to the normal safety precautions, if
welding must be performed under electrically
hazardous conditions (in damp locations or while
wearing wet clothing; on metal structures such as
floors, gratings or scaffolds; when in cramped
positions such as sitting, kneeling or lying, if there
is a high risk of unavoidable or accidental contact
with the workpiece or ground) use the following
equipment:
• Semiautomatic DC Constant Voltage (Wire) Welder.
• DC Manual (Stick) Welder.
• AC Welder with Reduced Voltage Control.
3.c. In semiautomatic or automatic wire welding, the electrode,
electrode reel, welding head, nozzle or semiautomatic welding
gun are also electrically “hot”.
3.d. Always be sure the work cable makes a good electrical
connection with the metal being welded. The connection should
be as close as possible to the area being welded.
3.e. Ground the work or metal to be welded to a good electrical (earth)
ground.
3.f. Maintain the electrode holder, work clamp, welding cable and
welding machine in good, safe operating condition. Replace
damaged insulation.
3.g. Never dip the electrode in water for cooling.
3.h. Never simultaneously touch electrically “hot” parts of electrode
holders connected to two welders because voltage between the
two can be the total of the open circuit voltage of both
welders.
FUMES AND GASES
CAN BE DANGEROUS.
5.a. Welding may produce fumes and gases
hazardous to health. Avoid breathing these fumes and gases.
When welding, keep your head out of the fume. Use enough
ventilation and/or exhaust at the arc to keep fumes and gases
away from the breathing zone. When welding hardfacing
(see instructions on container or SDS) or on lead
or cadmium plated steel and other metals or
coatings which produce highly toxic fumes, keep
exposure as low as possible and within applicable
OSHA PEL and ACGIH TLV limits using local
exhaust or mechanical ventilation unless exposure
assessments indicate otherwise. In confined
spaces or in some circumstances, outdoors, a
respirator may also be required. Additional
precautions are also required when welding
on galvanized steel.
5. b. The operation of welding fume control equipment is affected by
various factors including proper use and positioning of the
equipment, maintenance of the equipment and the specific
welding procedure and application involved. Worker exposure
level should be checked upon installation and periodically
thereafter to be certain it is within applicable OSHA PEL and
ACGIH TLV limits.
3.i. When working above floor level, use a safety belt to protect
yourself from a fall should you get a shock.
5.c. Do not weld in locations near chlorinated hydrocarbon vapors
coming from degreasing, cleaning or spraying operations. The
heat and rays of the arc can react with solvent vapors to form
phosgene, a highly toxic gas, and other irritating products.
3.j. Also see Items 6.c. and 8.
5.d. Shielding gases used for arc welding can displace air and cause
injury or death. Always use enough ventilation, especially in
confined areas, to insure breathing air is safe.
5.e. Read and understand the manufacturer’s instructions for this
equipment and the consumables to be used, including the
Safety Data Sheet (SDS) and follow your employer’s safety
practices. SDS forms are available from your welding
distributor or from the manufacturer.
5.f. Also see item 1.b.
Safety 03 of 04 - 06/15/2016
SAFETY
WELDING AND CUTTING
SPARKS CAN CAUSE
FIRE OR EXPLOSION.
6.a. Remove fire hazards from the welding area. If
this is not possible, cover them to prevent the welding sparks
from starting a fire. Remember that welding sparks and hot
materials from welding can easily go through small cracks and
openings to adjacent areas. Avoid welding near hydraulic lines.
Have a fire extinguisher readily available.
6.b. Where compressed gases are to be used at the job site, special
precautions should be used to prevent hazardous situations.
Refer to “Safety in Welding and Cutting” (ANSI Standard Z49.1)
and the operating information for the equipment being used.
6.c. When not welding, make certain no part of the electrode circuit is
touching the work or ground. Accidental contact can cause
overheating and create a fire hazard.
6.d. Do not heat, cut or weld tanks, drums or containers until the
proper steps have been taken to insure that such procedures
will not cause flammable or toxic vapors from substances inside.
They can cause an explosion even though they have been
“cleaned”. For information, purchase “Recommended Safe
Practices for the Preparation for Welding and Cutting of
Containers and Piping That Have Held Hazardous Substances”,
AWS F4.1 from the American Welding Society
(see address above).
6.e. Vent hollow castings or containers before heating, cutting or
welding. They may explode.
6.f. Sparks and spatter are thrown from the welding arc. Wear oil free
protective garments such as leather gloves, heavy shirt, cuffless
trousers, high shoes and a cap over your hair. Wear ear plugs
when welding out of position or in confined places. Always wear
safety glasses with side shields when in a welding area.
6.g. Connect the work cable to the work as close to the welding area
as practical. Work cables connected to the building framework or
other locations away from the welding area increase the
possibility of the welding current passing through lifting chains,
crane cables or other alternate circuits. This can create fire
hazards or overheat lifting chains or cables until they fail.
6.h. Also see item 1.c.
6.I. Read and follow NFPA 51B “Standard for Fire Prevention During
Welding, Cutting and Other Hot Work”, available from NFPA, 1
Batterymarch Park, PO box 9101, Quincy, MA 022690-9101.
6.j. Do not use a welding power source for pipe thawing.
CYLINDER MAY EXPLODE IF
DAMAGED.
7.a. Use only compressed gas cylinders containing
the correct shielding gas for the process used
and properly operating regulators designed for
the gas and pressure used. All hoses, fittings,
etc. should be suitable for the application and
maintained in good condition.
7.b. Always keep cylinders in an upright position securely chained to
an undercarriage or fixed support.
7.c. Cylinders should be located:
•
Away from areas where they may be struck or subjected
to physical damage.
•
A safe distance from arc welding or cutting operations
and any other source of heat, sparks, or flame.
7.d. Never allow the electrode, electrode holder or any other
electrically “hot” parts to touch a cylinder.
7.e. Keep your head and face away from the cylinder valve outlet
when opening the cylinder valve.
7.f. Valve protection caps should always be in place and hand tight
except when the cylinder is in use or connected for use.
7.g. Read and follow the instructions on compressed gas cylinders,
associated equipment, and CGA publication P-l, “Precautions for
Safe Handling of Compressed Gases in Cylinders,” available from
the Compressed Gas Association, 14501 George Carter Way
Chantilly, VA 20151.
FOR ELECTRICALLY
POWERED EQUIPMENT.
8.a. Turn off input power using the disconnect
switch at the fuse box before working on
the equipment.
8.b. Install equipment in accordance with the U.S. National Electrical
Code, all local codes and the manufacturer’s recommendations.
8.c. Ground the equipment in accordance with the U.S. National
Electrical Code and the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Safety 04 of 04 - 06/15/2016
SAFETY
As a rule of thumb, for many mild steel electrode, if the air is visibly
clear and you are comfortable, then the ventilation is generally
adequate for your work. The most accurate way to determine if the
worker exposure does not exceed the applicable exposure limit for
compounds in the fumes and gases is to have an industrial hygienist
take and analyze a sample of the air you are breathing. This is
particularly important if you are welding with stainless, hardfacing or
Special Ventilation products. All Lincoln MSDS have a maximum fume
guideline number. If exposure to total fume is kept below that
number, exposure to all fume from the electrode (not coatings or
plating on the work) will be below the TLV.
There are steps that you can take to identify hazardous substances in
your welding environment. Read the product label and material safety
data sheet for the electrode posted in the work place or in the
electrode or flux container to see what fumes can be reasonably
expected from use of the product and to determine if special
ventilation is needed. Secondly, know what the base metal is and
determine if there is any paint, plating, or coating that could expose
you to toxic fumes and/or gases. Remove it from the metal being
welded, if possible. If you start to feel uncomfortable, dizzy or
nauseous, there is a possibility that you are being overexposed to
fumes and gases, or suffering from oxygen deficiency. Stop welding
and get some fresh air immediately. Notify your supervisor and coworkers so the situation can be corrected and other workers can
avoid the hazard. Be sure you are following these safe practices, the
consumable labeling and MSDS to improve the ventilation in your
area. Do not continue welding until the situation has been corrected.
Ventilation
There are many methods which can be selected by the user to
provide adequate ventilation for the specific application. The following
section provides general information which may be helpful in
evaluating what type of ventilation equipment may be suitable for
your application. When ventilation equipment is installed, you should
confirm worker exposure is controlled within applicable OSHA PEL
and/or ACGIH TLV. According to OSHA regulations, when welding and
cutting (mild steels), natural ventilation is usually considered
sufficient to meet requirements, provided that:
1. The room or welding area contains at least 10,000 cubic feet
(about 22' x 22' x 22') for each welder.
2. The ceiling height is not less than 16 feet.
3. Cross ventilation is not blocked by partitions, equipment, or
other structural barriers.
4. Welding is not done in a confined space.
Spaces that do not meet these requirements should be equipped with
mechanical ventilating equipment that exhausts at least 2000 CFM of
air for each welder, except where local exhaust hoods or booths, or
air-line respirators are used.
Important Safety Note:
When welding with electrodes which require special
ventilation such as stainless or hardfacing (see
instructions on container or MSDS) or on lead or
cadmium plated steel and other metals or coatings which
produce hazardous fumes, keep exposure as low as
possible and below exposure limit values (PEL and TLV)
for materials in the fume using local exhaust or
mechanical ventilation. In conned spaces or in some
circumstances, for example outdoors, a respirator may
be required if exposure cannot be controlled to the PEL
or TLV. (See MSDS and chart of TLV and PEL for Typical
Electrode Ingredients.) Additional precautions are also
required when welding on galvanized steel.
NOTE: The MSDS for all Lincoln consumables is available on Lincoln’s website: www.lincolnelectric.com
Before we turn to the methods available to control welding fume
exposure, you should understand a few basic terms:
Natural Ventilation is the movement of air through the
workplace caused by natural forces. Outside, this is usually the
wind. Inside, this may be the flow of air through open windows
and doors.
Mechanical Ventilation is the movement of air through the
workplace caused by an electrical device such as a portable fan
or permanently mounted fan in the ceiling or wall.
Source Extraction (Local Exhaust) is a mechanical device used
to capture welding fume at or near the arc and filter contaminants out of the air.
The ventilation or exhaust needed for your application depends upon
many factors such as:
• Workspace volume
• Workspace configuration
• Number of welders
• Welding process and current
• Consumables used (mild steel, hardfacing, stainless, etc.)
• Allowable levels (TLV, PEL, etc.)
• Material welded (including paint or plating)
• Natural airflow
Your work area has adequate ventilation when there is enough
ventilation and/or exhaust to control worker exposure to hazardous
materials in the welding fumes and gases so the applicable limits for
those materials is not exceeded. See chart of TLV and PEL for Typical
Electrode Ingredients, the OSHA PEL (Permissible Exposure Limit), and
the recommended guideline, the ACGIH TLV (Threshold Limit Value),
for many compounds found in welding fume.

SLIDING VALVES
INSTALLATION
The sliding valves can be mounted:
• During installation of a new ductwork
• In an existing duct
General Description
WARNING
When the filter system is in operation, the sliding valves are open. In
the event of an alarm signal, power failure or when the fan is
switched off, the valves are closed. Correct closing of the valves is
monitored by a reed switch contact.
In case of fire, the sliding valves close automatically. This cuts off
oxygen to the fire. This will also minimize risk of escalation and
spreading of smoke.
FIGURE A.11
NOT INSTALLING THE PROPER
SUPPORTS FOR THE SLIDING
VALVES CAN CAUSE SEVERE
INJURY.
Ensure that the ductwork can support the weight of the
sliding valves. It is recommended to use duct supports
To mount the sliding valves, proceed as follows.
Sliding valve type SV-10, See Figure A.12.
1. Place the bracket (B) over the cylinder.
2. Place the reed contact (A) in the slit of the bracket.

B. Connection flange (2)
C. Quick connect coupling (2)
D. Junction box
E. Cable gland/clamp (3)
F. Reed contact (See Figure A.12 for more details)
All other sliding valves See Figure A.13.
1. Place the reed contact (A) in the slit of the cylinder.
2. Attach it by fastening the screw.
FIGURE A.13
Location
• 1st sliding valve: in filter inlet duct as close to the filter bank
as possible.
• 2nd sliding valve: in filter outlet duct as close to the filter bank
as possible.
• Mounted in vertical position.
It is strongly recommended that the sliding valves be installed
indoors. If they are installed outside, however, ensure that they are
protected from rain and snow. Avoid installation where compressed
air can cool down below its dew point to prevent damage to the
pneumatics.
NOTE: Allow sufficient space above the duct for the sliding valves to
fully open;
SV-10: + 14 in.
SV-12: + 16 in.
SV-16: + 20 in.
SV-20: + 26 in.
SV-24: + 32 in.
See Figure A.14, for steps 3-6.
3. In case of installation in an existing duct: cut away a piece of the
existing duct as shown in the table below.

GUARDIAN™ FIRE SAFETY SOLUTIONS
INSTALLATION
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
To be sourced locally:
• Connection wire: 5 x 20 AWG cable
Wiring
4. Slide a connection flange (B) into both duct ends (A).
5. Place the sliding valve (D in between and fasten it using the quick
connect couplings (C).
6. Fasten the connection flanges using self-tapping screws.
NOTE: The valves must be mounted straight and without tension on
the shell/housing to guarantee airtightness and to avoid noise
from airflow.
FIGURE A.14
1. Connect the sliding valves to the system control panel in
accordance with the Electrical Wiring Diagram.
2. Connect the reed contacts to the system control panel in
accordance with the Electrical Wiring Diagram.
COMPRESSED AIR CONNECTION
Connect the sliding valves to compressed air source per the
Pneumatic Diagram.
FIGURE A.15
Setting closing speed of the sliding valves
The closing speed of the valves is set by the air pressure.
1. Set the closing speed of the valves to 4-5 seconds by adjusting the
air pressure to 5 BAR.
Do not set the valves to faster than 4 seconds. If there is a fire alarm,
the fan is switched off and the sliding valves are closed. The 4
seconds gives the fan enough time to reduce speed and prevents
damage to the duct by negative pressure. Do not select speeds
slower than 5 seconds, since the Flame Guardian™ modules are
activated 5 seconds after the fire alarm.
WARNING
MOVING PARTS CAN CAUSE
INJURY.
If valve is mounted in an accessible area,
provide shroud and warning label to
prevent access.
Post installation checks
• Check electrical connections.
• Check pneumatic connections.
• Check that nuts and bolts are secure.

General Description
Compressed air connection
See Figure A.18.
Normally closed 3-way 2-position solenoid valve.
When the connected filter system is in operation, the solenoid is
activated and compressed air is supplied to the cleaning system of
the filter (port P and A are open). If there is a fire alarm or power
failure, the solenoid will return to its normally closed (NC) position,
closing port P and opening port R. In this position the compressed air
escapes from the pressure tanks. It also prevents fresh oxygen from
reaching the filter.
The solenoid valve is fitted with a 12 mm compressed air tube
connection.

General Description
The Flame Guardian™ is a fire suppression generator designed to be
installed directly into the filter system. The Flame Guardian™ is
activated by the Guardian™ Panel fire detection panel 5 seconds
after a fire alarm is activated.
The Flame Guardian™ is designed to suppress or extinguish filter
fires of EN 2 Class A and NFPA 10 Class A (normal or solid
combustible material in the filters).
In 5 to 10 seconds, after a fire is detected, the filter is filled with a
potassium aerosol. This material reacts with the free radicals in the
flame. The free radicals react with the aerosol instead of the fuel and
the chain reaction of fire is suppressed. The residue is a negligible
amount of harmless and stable potassium hydroxide salt (KOH).
After release of the aerosol, it remains active for at least 30 minutes,
this prevents the fire from reigniting.

the aerosol. The minimum amount of energy needed to start the
reaction is created by applying 12V/0.8 Amps for 3-4 seconds.
2. The internal wiring of the activator can be inspected by
measuring the internal ohm resistance of 2 ohm +/- 0.2 ohm
using an ohm meter with a current less than 5 milliamps. This
inspection can be done in the junction box mounted on the
outside of the filter by measuring the ohm resistance over the
heat resistant wires.

B-1
GUARDIAN™ FIRE SAFETY SOLUTIONS
OPERATION
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Automatic detection is triggered by heat, sparks or smoke. The filter
is fitted with 2 heat detectors (H) located above the dustbin and at
the top of the filter. Spark detectors (C) are placed near the filter
outlet and in the duct after the filter. The smoke detector (D) is
placed in the duct after the filter, (5 duct diameters of equivalent
length straight duct before smoke detector).
The inlet and outlet duct of the filter are fitted with pneumatic sliding
valves (B). In the event of a fire, the sliding valves close and cut off
the air flow. This reduces the risk of escalation. When the extraction
system is switched off, the valves are closed. The valve in the filter
outlet duct is placed down stream of the spark and smoke detectors.
The sliding valves have reed contacts to monitor the closing function.
The filter system software runs a periodic check to make sure the
system is operating properly.
The filter is fitted with one or more Flame Guardian™ (I) fire extinguishing generators. The aerosols are placed directly in the filter
housing. Flame Guardian™ requires no maintenance and has a
service life of 10 years. If there is a fire, Flame Guardian™ is
activated by the fire detection panel after the sliding valves have
closed. Flame Guardian™ will also self activate at 572°F (300°C).
Fire suppression is rapidly achieved through interference between the
aerosol and the flames’ free radicals. The aerosol remains active for
30 minutes after activation, thus preventing re-ignition. The amount
of aerosol is proportional to the filter volume and can be easily
adapted by adding additional Flame Guardians™.
Flame Guardian™ is the name used by Lincoln Electric for the use of
FirePro aerosol generators in Lincoln Electric filter systems. FirePro is
a product of Celanova Ltd. Listing and certifications are registered
under the name FirePro.
Number and type of Flame Guardian™ aerosol fire extinguishing
generators has been calculated by certified personnel in conformity
with BRL-KZ 3003 and NFPA 2010, based on filter class A, E, safety
factor 1.3 and min. concentration of 55.29 g/m2 effective component.
The system control panel SCP (M) controls the filter and fan
operation. If here is a fire a signal is sent from the Guardian™ Panel
to the System Control Panel. The System Control Panel closes the
sliding valves, stops the fan, shuts off the supply of compressed air
and deactivates the air solenoid. The air solenoid (G) discharges the
compressed air stored in the tanks. These actions prevent any fresh
air from reaching the fire.
This manual describes installation and maintenance of components
for fire detection and suppression.

• Round ductwork of the appropriate diameter
COMPONENT DESCRIPTIONS
See Figure B.1.
The Spark Guardian™ (A) reduces the risk of sparks, cigarette butts
or other sources of ignition reaching the filter. Inspection hatches (E)
are placed around the Spark Guardian™ to monitor the system and
determine the need for preventive maintenance. See Maintenance
Section.
The Oil Guardian™ (F) lime feeder is placed between the Spark
Guardian™ and the filter. Limestone is applied in small quantities and
makes sticky welding fume behave like dry welding fume, enhancing
filter cleaning and filter cartridge life. The lime reduces the risk of fire
due to sparks and spontaneous combustion.
The Guardian Control™ (J) fire detection panel processes the
detection sensor signals, sets the alarm and activates the suppression
system. In case of an alarm, a fire alarm sounder (K) will be audible.
Operational reliability in the event of a power failure is assured by
battery back-up. To ensure the overall functionality the Guardian™
Panel monitors open or short circuits the wiring loops of detectors and
the suppression system.
If the fire is detected, the system can also be activated manually at
the manual call point (L).

2. Manually at the manual call point.
OPERATION
FUNCTIONAL TEST AND COMMISSIONING
To avoid accidental fire alarms and activation of the Flame
Guardian™ fire extinguishing generators, always follow the following
sequence for installation, commissioning and maintenance.
WARNING
If there is a fire, the automatic sequence of events is as follows:
• Acoustic fire alarm activation
• Fan motor is switched off
• Release of compressed air through solenoid valve
Ensure that all functional tests are
performed in accordance with the
manufacturers instructions and the
National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA) requirements and the state
and local authorities having
jurisdiction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
After a delay of 5 seconds:
• Sliding valves close
• Release of aerosol by Flame Guardian™ generator
After activation, the Flame Guardian™ remains active for at least 30
minutes to prevent re-ignition of the fire. This is to keep damage to
the filter, as well as consequential loss, to a minimum.
NOTE: Notify all parties involved that you will be testing the fire safety
system; See Maintenance Section.
WARNING
All operative personal must be familiar with the fire procedures.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Before starting, de-energize the Guardian™ Panel and/or
electrically isolate the Flame Guardian™ modules.
2. Make all connections to the Guardian™ Panel, with the exception
of the Flame Guardian™ modules.
3. Make all connections to the system control panel.
4. Create a temporary bridge to the terminal(s) for the Flame
Guardian™ with the End Of Line resistor-diode to avoid fault
alarm. See Wiring Diagram.
5. Apply the correct input power to the panel. When all connections
are correct, all indicator LEDs are off and the display shows the
text “System OK”. Make sure panel is in RUN mode.
6. Test the detectors and system control panel as instructed to make
sure that the system is reacting as expected and required. See
specific Functional Tests in Installation Section.
7. Reset the panel, detectors and system control panel and make
sure no fault indicators are lit. If any fault indicator is lit, the
appropriate input or output must be checked and cleared before
proceeding. Make sure all detectors are reset. See Wiring

GUARDIAN™ FIRE SAFETY SOLUTIONS
OPERATION
SMOKE DETECTOR
COMPONENT
DESCRIPTION AND
OPERATION
The Smoke Detector’s operation is based on light scattering by the air
sampling tube. The sampling tube transports the air to the smoke
detector. When smoke is detected, it sends a signal to the
Guardian™ Panel. The Guardian™ Panel activates the fire
suppression system. The smoke detector is fitted with the following
LEDs, indicators and features:
See Figure B.3.
A Opening for test spray
B Sensor LED (2);
- LED is off: sensor is OK
- LED is on: sensor must be replaced
C Service indicator: status LEDs that indicate the sensor
contamination;
- green LED is on: sensor is OK
- yellow LED is flashing: sensor is 75% contaminated
- red LED is on: sensor is 100% contaminated
GUARDIAN™ PANEL
Guardian™ Panel is a fire detection panel (UL Standard 862) with a
separate manual call point. It has three detection zones all of which
are capable of activating the Flame Guardian™ fire extinguishing
aerosols.
The panel makes it possible to connect additional manual call points.
The Guardian™ Panel has two back-up batteries to allow for
continuous operation in the event of a temporary power failure.
HEAT DETECTOR SET
The Heat Detector Set consists of two temperature detectors that are
installed in the filter housing. When they detect a temperature of
190°F (88°C) or more, they send a signal to the Guardian™ Panel to
activate the fire suppression system.
FIGURE B.3 – FEATURES
SPARK DETECTOR SET
There is a set of two infrared spark detectors. The spark detectors are
sensitive to the IR light between 0.4 to 1.1 microns wavelength.
When glowing particulate from the burning filter enters the field of
view on the detector, the detector responds by sending a signal to the
Guardian™ Panel fire detection panel. The Guardian™ Panel
activates the fire suppression system.
SLIDING VALVES
When the filter system is in operation, the sliding valves are open. In
the event of an alarm signal, power failure or when the fan is
switched off, the valves are closed. Correct closing of the valves is
monitored by a reed switch contact.
In case of fire, the sliding valves close automatically. This cuts off air
flow to the fire. This will also minimize risk of escalation and
spreading of smoke.
B-5
GUARDIAN™ FIRE SAFETY SOLUTIONS
OPERATION
SOLENOID VALVE
FLAME GUARDIAN™
See Figure B.4.
Normally closed 3-way 2-position solenoid valve.
When the connected filter system is in operation, the solenoid is
activated and compressed air is supplied to the cleaning system of
the filter (port P and A are open). If there is a fire alarm or power
failure, the solenoid will return to its normally closed (NC) position,
closing port P and opening port R. In this position the compressed air
escapes from the pressure tanks located inside the filter bank. It also
prevents fresh oxygen from reaching the filter.
The Flame Guardian™ is a fire suppression generator designed to be
installed directly into the filter system. The Flame Guardian™ is
activated by the Guardian™ Panel fire detection panel 5 seconds
after a fire alarm is activated.
The Flame Guardian™ is designed to suppress or extinguish filter
fires of EN 2 Class A and NFPA 10 Class A (normal or solid
combustible material in the filters).
In 5 to 10 seconds, after a fire is detected, the filter is filled with a
potassium aerosol. This material reacts with the free radicals in the
flame. The free radicals react with the aerosol instead of the fuel and
the chain reaction of fire is suppressed. The residue is a negligible
amount of harmless and stable potassium hydroxide salt (KOH).
After release of the aerosol, it remains active for at least 30 minutes,
this prevents the fire from reigniting.
Flame Guardian™ is the name used by Lincoln Electric for the use of
FirePro aerosol generators in Lincoln Electric filter systems. FirePro is
a product of Celanova Ltd. Listing and certifications are registered
under the name FirePro.
Number and type of Flame Guardian™ aerosol fire extinguishing
generators has been calculated by certified personnel in conformity
with BRL-KZ 3003 and NFPA 2010, based on filter class A, E, safety
factor 1.3 and min. concentration of 55.29 g/m2 effective component.

ATTENTION
AUTOMATIC DETECTION OF FIRE
In the event of a fire, the system reacts as follows.
Do NOT start maintenance before receiving permission from authorized personnel.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------The following activities are strictly reserved to
skilled and authorized service engineers.
1. The display shows ALARM and indicates fire zone.
2. A Red alarm LED in specific zone flashes.
Audible/visible indicators are switched on and the
fire alarm sounder is activated.
1. Inspect the filter and hopper for glowing materials
before continuing.
3. The system control panel stops the fan, closes the
sliding valves and releases the compressed air
through the solenoid valve.
2. Inspect the filter cartridges. If they are damaged by
fire or any cartridge less than 20 in. (50 cm) proximity of the aerosol release opening must be replaced.
4. Five seconds after fire alarm, the Flame
Guardian™(s) is/are activated; LEDs OUTPUT 1
TO 4 will be lit.
3. Follow maintenance procedure on spark detectors
(See Spark Detector in Maintenance Section).
NOTE: The Flame Guardian™ extinguishing material
is extremely fine. In case of fire, it may seem
like smoke escapes through the seams of the
filter system, but most commonly it is the
extinguishing material which is harmless to
environment and people.
4. Follow maintenance procedure on smoke detector
(See Smoke Detector in Maintenance Section).
5. Follow maintenance procedures for the Heat
Detectors.
The Flame Guardian™ modules get hot from the
release of the aerosol. Allow the modules to cool
down before replacement.

when the system is in operation.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
See additional warning information
throughout this operator’s manual.
-----------------------------------------------------------PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
The system has been designed to function without problems for a
long period of time with minimal maintenance. To ensure this, some
regular maintenance testing and cleaning activities are required. The
observance of necessary cautions and regular maintenance intervals,
will ensure any problems will be detected and corrected before they
lead to a total breakdown.
The entire system, including the Guardian™ Panel, must be tested
periodically in accordance with the national fire protection association
requirements or the authorities having local jurisdiction.
The indicated maintenance intervals can vary depending on the
specific working and ambient conditions. Therefore it is
recommended to perform the first general maintenance check three
months after commissioning and determine the future frequency
based on the state of the system after this period. The complete
system must be inspected at least once a year.
Refer to the separate system components about method and
frequency of maintenance. Maintenance activities have been
summarized in the Maintenance Calendar.
