General Information
The Fireboy Engine Shutdown Control (ESC) Systems are an effective means to automatically shut
down engines, generators, and blower systems in the event of a fire. By shutting down your
engine room systems, you will ensure that the fire cannot be fueled by the continued operation of
components on the engine as well as maintaining the proper agent concentration needed to
extinguish the fire.
The Engine Shutdown Control System consists of a Shutdown Control Module and a Helm Display
Unit with an Override button. Both should be installed at the helm so that there is access to the
ignition wiring.

Operation of Fireboy Engine Shutdown/Override System
The Fireboy Engine Shutdown Control (ESC) System operates by means of relays. The Shutdown
Control Module is connected to the Fireboy Extinguisher by means of the Pressure Switch. When
the Pressure Switch opens on the Fireboy Extinguisher, the relays on the Shutdown Control
Module activate, disconnecting or connecting power to the connected systems.
The Status of the Engine Shutdown Control (ESC) System is displayed on the Helm Display Unit.
The Helm Display Unit has a Green and a Red LED located on the face, and a button to control
Override Mode. The Green LED will be illuminated in normal operation, indicating that the Fire
Extinguisher is charged. If the Extinguisher’s pressure drops, then the Green LED will turn OFF and
the Red LED and horn will turn ON.
Press the Override button to activate the Override Mode. The Red LED will begin flashing,
indicating that you are now in Override Mode. You will now be able to restart your engines and
maneuver the vessel to safety. The Shutdown Control/Override System will remain in Override
Mode until it is manually deactivated by pressing the Override button while the system is
powered. To notify you that you are still in Override Mode, each time the engines are restarted,
both LEDs will illuminate, and the system will produce multiple beeps, then the Red LED will begin
flashing. Press the Override button again to exit Override Mode.
The DU-SBH-20 also has a button to control the brightness of the Green LED. Whenever the unit
is first powered on, the Green LED will be at its brightest setting. Press the button to cycle
through the three LED brightness settings.

Installation
Installing the Engine Shutdown Control Module
The Engine Shutdown Control Module should be located near the helm where convenient access
to the ignition wiring is available. Use appropriate length #8 screws and secure using all 4
mounting holes.
CAUTION:
NEVER INSTALL THE ENGINE SHUTDOWN CONTROL MODULE IN A BILGE AREA OR ENGINE ROOM.
Installing the Helm Display Unit
The Helm Display should be located at the instrument panel, so that the visible and audible
indicators may be easily observed.
Drill a 2-1/8” hole to accommodate the DU-SBH-20 and DU-SBH-21.
Insert Display Unit into hole and secure with the provided threaded mounting nut.
Electrical Connections
Wiring must be made using #16 stranded copper wire conforming to ABYC Standards for Marine
use, as a minimum (SAE J378B & J1128). Connections to the terminals must be made with bare
wire. Route wires through the loosened strain reliefs on the side of the box, closest to the
terminal being used. Additional strain reliefs may be added, Fireboy-Xintex P/N: 63020 (Heyco
P/N: M3216), clearance hole is .813in (20.6mm). The Terminal strips disconnect from the Engine
Shutdown Control Module for easier installation.

Connect the Engine Shutdown Control Module’s “V1+”Terminal to a power source through a 2
Amp Breaker. Connect the “Gnd”Terminal to battery ground.
The Terminals labeled “Brown”, “White”, and “Black” connect the Helm Display Unit to the Engine
Shutdown Control Module. Connectors are provided on each component.
Terminals “PS1”& “GND”connect the Fireboy Fire Extinguisher to the Engine Shutdown Control
Module. In applications that require multiple extinguisher systems, the pressure switches must
be wired in series to allow any extinguisher to operate the Engine Shutdown Control Module.
A Helm Display unit that displays an Auxiliary Extinguisher System is also available (DU-SBH-21).
Connect the Auxiliary Fireboy Fire Extinguisher to “PS2” and “Gnd” on the Engine Shutdown
Control Module. Connect the Yellow wire from the DU-SBH-21 to the “Ylw/Aux” Terminal.
Input Terminals are provided to connect control/ignition switches to the Engine Shutdown
Control. The Positive Battery Terminal must be wired to each control/ignition switch and then to
the corresponding Input Terminal (Ex: “In 4”). The provided Fuses are used to configure each
independent circuit as Normally Open (NO) or Normally Closed (NC). They also protect the Engine
Shutdown Control (ESC) from damage due to short circuits or overloads. With the fuse in the
correct position based on the engine/system manufacture’s specifications, connect the desired
engine/system to the corresponding Output terminal (Ex: “Out 4”).
•Gasoline engines must be shut down by interrupting the primary ignition wire from the
ignition switch to the ignition coil. This can be implemented by utilizing the Common (C)
and Normally Closed (NC) Terminals.
•Diesel engines must be shut down by interrupting the fuel source. Some models of fuel
solenoids close when voltage is added, while other fuel solenoids close when voltage is
taken away. Verify how each of your fuel solenoids operate before wiring.
Tighten strain reliefs to secure wires when all connections have been made. A Wiring example is
provided on page 9.

Testing the Engine Shutdown System
The Engine Shutdown System can be tested by disconnecting either wire connection at the
Pressure Switch on the Fire Extinguisher. When the wire is disconnected, the engine shutdown
will activate. Verify that engines shut down and that all other equipment operates as expected.
The Helm Display unit will indicate that the Fire Extinguisher has discharged with a Red LED and
audible horn. Test the Helm Display by turning the ignition to the ON position. Press the
“Override” button, to activate the Override Mode. The Red LED will begin flashing, indicating that
you are now in Override Mode. You will now be able to restart your engines. Reconnect the wire
at the Pressure Switch and deactivate Override Mode.
Maintenance
The system should be tested periodically in the fashion described in the previous section.
Repairing Fireboy Engine Shutdown Control Component(s)
Fireboy Engine Shutdown Controls are not field serviceable. Components must be returned to the
factory for any repairs.
Returning Fireboy Engine Shutdown Control Component(s)
No product may be returned for credit or repair without a written “Returned Material
Authorization” (RMA) form. Purchaser must call or email Fireboy-Xintex 616-735-9380 or
[email protected] for a RMA. If due to extenuating circumstances a product is to be
