1. Determine
the volume of your engine compartment in cubic feet or cubic meters, L x
W x H. Do NOT deduct for engines, fixed tanks, or other equipment.
2. Select the clean agent that you
require: FE-241 or HFC-227ea.
FE-241 (Chlorotetrafluoroethane) is
approved for unoccupied spaces such as engine rooms and is approved
for use in the United States.
HFC-227ea (Heptafluoropropane) is
approved for occupied spaces and is also approved for use in Europe.
3. Based on steps 1 and 2, choose your
model from the Model/Size Chart.
Example: MA2-950-227 = automatic
discharge with optional manual discharge, 950 cubic feet coverage,
HFC-227ea extinguishing agent.
NOTE: When in doubt, always select the
larger model size for adequate protection.
4. Determine the length of Manual Release
Cable needed to easily reach from the fire extinguisher to the main helm
station.
WARNING: Diesel-powered craft require
installation of an Engine Shutdown System.
Protecting vessels with engine rooms up
to 1500 cubic feet
