1- General description
This TOTALPAC®3integrated fire protection system by
FIREFLEX Systems Inc. consists of a dry pipe system trim
totally pre-assembled, pre-wired and factory tested. All
electrical and mechanical components of the system are
contained in one single unit.
Note:Skid units include the trim components only and must
be wired by the installing contractor.
The only connections required for installation are the water
supply inlet, the water discharge outlet, the main drain, the
electrical supervisory and alarm connections, as well as
the AC power line for the optional air compressor. The
discharge outlet is connected to a fixed piping network of
automatic sprinklers. Water is the extinguishing agent.
On system piping networks, closed heat sensitive
automatic sprinklers are spaced and located in accordance
with recognized installation standards in order to detect a
fire. Only those sprinklers immediately over or near to fire
operate, minimizing water damage.
Dry pipe system uses closed automatic sprinklers on the
system piping network, which is supervised with air
pressure. A low pressure gives a supervisory signal.
Dry pipe system is designed so the dry pipe valve will
open when an important loss of pressure from the system
piping network occurs. When the dry pipe valve opens,
water will flow into the system piping network and out of
any open automatic sprinklers and other opening on the
system. The opening the dry pipe valve gives an alarm
signal.
Note: Every TOTALPAC®3unit is identified with its unique
serial number. This number is located on an adhesive
label inside the main door panel and is used to maintain a
record in our computerized data base. Have this serial
number handy when calling for information on your unit
(format is TOT3#### or TOTS#### for skid units).

6- Configuration description
TOTALPAC ®3 regular dry pipe system is built around the
Viking conventional trim using dry pipe valve model F-1.
The valve is rated up to a maximum of 175 PSI WWP
(1207 kPa) and is available in the following diameters:
 4" (100 mm)  6" (150 mm)
TOTALPAC ®3 dry pipe system is supplied with groove/
groove dry pipe valve. Unit with flange/flange dry pipe
valve is also available on request.
6.1 Dry pipe system
The system piping network is pressurized with air or
nitrogen gas. The dry pipe system uses the Viking dry
pipe valve which opens by the fusing of an automatic
sprinkler in the system piping network.
The air pressure of the system piping network above the
dry pipe valve maintains the dry pipe valve closed.
In fire condition, when an automatic sprinkler fuses on the
system piping network, it release the air pressure above
the dry pipe valve, causing the dry pipe valve to open.
Water will flow from the dry pipe system through opened
sprinklers.

1.3 Dry pipe valve clapper settings
1. OPEN main drain valve (D3) to completely drain the
system piping network. If the system has operated or if
water has entered the system, open all auxiliary drains
and the system test valve. Allow enough time to
completely drain the system.
2. Verify that the dry pipe system is not pressurized.
3. Use a 15/16" wrench to loosen and remove hand-hole
cover bolts from the dry pipe valve (A1) cover. Remove
hand-hole cover.
To RELEASE a latched clapper assembly for service
1. With the hand-hole cover removed from the dry pipe
valve (A1), insert the re-setting tool through the hole in
hook assembly, across the fulcrum cast on top of
clapper arm assembly until the re-setting tool contacts
the stopper on top of clapper arm assembly (see
figure 2C).
2. Apply a downward force on the end (from outside the
valve) of the re-setting tool. Hook assembly will slide
toward the hand-hole and off clapper arm assembly.
Clapper arm assembly and clapper assembly will
forcefully open, impact against latch and latch in the
open position.
Note : Inspection and cleaning procedure step 3 below is
considered part of the annual trip test.
3. Inspect and clean the internal parts of the dry pipe
valve (A1). Give special consideration to the water
seat, air seat and clapper rubber. Wipe away all
contaminants, dirt, and mineral deposits. Do not use
solvents or abrasives. Operate all parts to test freedom
of movement. Renew or replace damaged or worn
parts as required.
WARNING NEVER apply any lubricant to seats, gaskets, or
any internal operating parts of the dry pipe valve (A1).
Petroleum based grease or oil will damage rubber
components and may prevent proper operation of the dry
pipe valve.
Note: When a valve has been removed from service and is
subject to freezing or will be out of service for an extended
period of time, all water must be removed from the priming
chamber, trim piping, water supply piping and any other
trapped areas.
To SET the dry pipe valve clapper
1. With the hand-hole cover removed from the dry pipe
valve (A1), raise the latch to release spring loaded
clapper arm assembly from the latched open position
(see figure 2A).
2. Move the clapper arm assembly down toward the

tool. Hook will slide forward on the re-setting bar and
latch the clapper closed with a positive setting action
(see figure 2C).
5. Priming water is not required and may not be desirable
where clean, good quality fresh water is not available. If
priming water is desired, fill the dry pipe valve (A1) with
water to the bottom of the hand-hole.
6. Verify that the intermediate chamber of the dry pipe
valve (A1) is free of water. No water should flow from
the drip check valve (B7) when plunger is pushed.
7. Visually inspect hand-hole cover gasket. Verify that it is
in good condition.
8. Re-install hand-hole cover, gasket and hand-hole cover
bolts.
1.4 Placing the system in service
When the dry pipe system is ready to be placed in service,
verify that all equipment is adequately heated and
protected to prevent freezing and physical damage.
1. Verify that the main water supply valve (D1) is CLOSED.
2. OPEN the main drain valve (D3). Drain all water from the
dry pipe system. If the system has operated, or if water
has entered the system, OPEN all auxiliary drains. Allow
enough time to completely drain the system.
3. CLOSE all auxiliary drains and the priming / water level
test valve (B1) on the dry pipe valve trim. The main
drain valve (D3) should remain OPEN.
4. If the system is equipped with a Viking accelerator and
external anti-flood device (see section D AIR SUPPLY):
a) CLOSE the anti-flood isolation valve (1).
b) Observe the air pressure gauge on top of the
accelerator. The gauge must read zero before the
accelerator will automatically reset. It may be
necessary to loosen, remove, and re-install (use
appropriate wrench) the air gauge to vent trapped air
pressure from the upper chamber of the accelerator.
5. OPEN the dry pipe system air supply and establish
desired system pressure. For complete pressures
settings, see section D AIR SUPPLY).

TOTALPAC ®3 Page 3 of 10
Integrated Fire Protection System B
Mechanical Section - Dry Pipe System
FM-076A-0-57C
CAUTION ! Never exceed 60 PSI (414 kPa) air pressure in
the system piping with the dry pipe valve clapper closed.
Note : Increasing system air pressure may increase trip
time of the dry pipe valve (A1).
6. Verify that the intermediate chamber of the dry pipe
valve (A1) is free of water. No water should flow from
the drip check (B7) when the plunger is pushed.
7. If the system is equipped with a Viking accelerator and
external anti-flood device (see section D AIR SUPPLY),
when pressure in the accelerator air pressure gauge
equals the system set pressure, OPEN and secure the
anti-flood isolation valve (1).
8. Partially OPEN the main water supply valve (D1).
9. When flow is developed from the main drain valve (D3),
CLOSE the main drain valve.
10. Fully open the main water supply valve (D1).
11. Secure all valves in their normal operating position.
12. Notify AUTHORITY HAVING JURISDICTION and those in the
affected area that the system is in service.
1.5 System Operation
1.5.1 In the SET condition
In the normal set condition the system piping network is
filled with compressed air or nitrogen. The clapper and air
plate assemblies of the dry pipe valve (A1) combine to
form a floating member assembly. With the clapper
assembly latched closed, system air pressure forces the
member assembly down, sealing the water seat from the
intermediate chamber.
1.5.2 In a fire condition
When an automatic sprinkler fuses on the system piping
network, the system air pressure is reduced. When
system air pressure is reduced to the differential pressure
tripping point of the dry pipe valve (A1), water supply
pressure in the inlet chamber lifts the member assembly
off the water seat and flows into the intermediate chamber.
As the member assembly continues to rise, the latching
hook is forced against operating pin which causes the
hook to pivot on hook rod and unlatch the clapper. The
clapper is spring-loaded and swings to a full-open locked
position (see figure 2A).
When equipped with the optional accelerator and external
anti-flood device, a drop in system air pressure causes the
accelerator to operate. Operation of the accelerator
causes the anti-flood device to open allowing system air
pressure to enter the dry pipe valve intermediate chamber.
This immediately destroys the pressure differential,
causing the member assembly to rise faster.
The intermediate chamber is normally at atmospheric
pressure and is connected to the alarm line. When the dry
pipe valve (A1) trips, the intermediate chamber and alarm
line are pressurized with the system water pressure.
Water will flow from any open sprinklers and/or other
opening in the sprinkler piping network and alarm
devices (C1 and optional C2) will operate.
Sprinkling continues until the main water supply valve (D1)
is manually closed.
1.5.3 Manual operation
Anytime the handle of the priming / water level test
valve (B1) is opened, pressure is released from the priming
chamber, causing the dry pipe valve (A1) to open.
Water will flow from any open sprinklers and/or other
opening in the sprinkler piping network and alarm
devices (C1 and optional C2) will operate.
Sprinkling continues until the main water supply valve (D1)
is manually closed.
1.5.4 Supervisory condition
If the dry pipe valve (A1) trips when no sprinkler has fused,
either there a loss of air in the system or an extreme
pressure surge in the water supply. If there is a loss of air
in the system, check for leaks and check for proper air
supply. If there is an extreme surge in the water supply,
increase the air pressure on the system.
CAUTION ! Never exceed 60 PSI (414 kPa) air pressure in
the system piping with the dry pipe valve clapper closed.
Note : Increasing system air pressure may increase trip
time of the dry pipe valve (A1).
If water is constantly passing through the drip check (B7)
when the valve is in the SET position, either water is
leaking over the water seat into the intermediate chamber
of the dry pipe valve (A1) or the alarm test valve (B5) is not
tightly closed. If water is leaking over the seat of the dry
pipe valve, inspect and clean the water seat and clapper
rubber. Consider replacing the clapper rubber. If the
water seat has been pitted or damaged by debris it may be
necessary to replace the base assembly. If the alarm test
valve (B5) is leaking, verify that water is not getting past
the valve.

Dry Pipe trim options
1. Semi and full-flanged option
When required by the user, TOTALPAC®3unit can be
provided in either a semi-flanged of full flanged
configuration.
The semi flanged option provides flanged fittings only on
the water inlet pipe (side needs to be specified at the time
of order) and on the system riser outlet. The drain
manifold is then provided with a threaded end that also
needs to have its side specified (left or right). The rest of
the fittings are the same as usual with the main
components being provided in the standard flanged/
grooved configuration.
The full flanged option is the same as above but goes a
step further with the main components being also provided
with a flanged-flanged configuration.
When provided, the face of the flanges will always be
located 6" (152 mm) from the outside face of the mounting
base or cabinet surface. On skid unit, the surface of the
flange on the outlet riser will always be 6" (152 mm) above
the dimension shown on the dimensional data of the
system ordered.

2. Anti-column device option
The model LD-1 anti-column device is an optional trim
component designed for use with dry pipe sprinkler
system. The anti-column device automatically prevents an
unwanted water column from establishing within the
system riser. On dry pipe sprinkler systems, the anti-
column device prevents water from columning downstream
of the dry pipe valve assembly.

Air Supply - Dry Pipe
FM-076A-0-88C
1. Cabinet Air Supplies
Dry pipe sprinkler system using air pressure for
supervisory or releasing purposes is provided with either
internal or external supervised air supply.
WARNING Pressures other than the factory pressure
settings may affect the operation of the system.
Three (3) styles of air supplies are available for the
TOTALPAC ®3 units depending on needs or configurations.
These air supplies are all factory assembled, mounted in
the cabinet and pressure tested. Following is the
description of those options.
1.1 Air supply Style "A" (refer to figure 2)
Used only for the sprinkler piping network of dry pipe
systems. Air supply style "A" includes the air compressor
mounted inside the TOTALPAC ®3 cabinet with its
supervisory trim and options. Air compressor is of the
oilless piston type without reservoir and is factory piped to
the sprinkler piping system riser, all within the TOTALPAC ®3
cabinet.
A factory wired isolation switch (see figure 2 in section E
CONTROLS SECTION) is also provided in the TOTALPAC ®3
cabinet, allowing powering off the air compressor while
some maintenance work on the unit is done, without
disturbing the rest of the system.
To connect non-energized AC power to the air
compressor, refer to field wiring diagram (see section F
ELECTRICAL SECTION).

1.5 KW 6.3 Amp 6.0 Amp
Note : Selection of the appropriate wire size is the
responsibility of the installing contractor.
1.2 Air supply Style "B" (refer to figure 3)
Used only for the sprinkler piping network of dry pipe
system, when an external air supply is provided by others
(either a compressor, plant air or dry nitrogen cylinders)
and piped to the air inlet port of the unit.
Air supply style "B" provides an APMD (air pressure
maintenance device) trim, factory mounted in the
TOTALPAC ®3 cabinet. The APMD regulates and restricts
the inlet pressure. It allows an outlet pressure range from
5 PSI (34 kPa) to 75 PSI (517 kPa) ±2 PSI (14 kPa). An
internal ball check valve prevents back flow.
Warning : When air supply style "B" is selected, the air
supply should be provided and installed by the sprinkler
contractor OUTSIDE of the TOTALPAC ®3 cabinet. Air
supply is NOT provided with the unit.
1.3 Air supply Style "D" (refer to figure 4)
Mainly used with dry pipe system protecting refrigerated
spaces and freezers, where a special dry external air
supply unit is piped directly to the system riser inside the
freezer itself, as shown in NFPA-13. Air supply style "D"
provides only an air supervisory and shut-off trim.
Ambient temperature at the special external air supply unit
location should not exceed 104°F (40°C). Refer to NFPA
and Factory Mutual Codes & Standards for details on
refrigerated spaces applications. Air supply style "D" can
also be used when the contractor prefers to provide his
own air supply & regulation trim, mounted outside the
TOTALPAC®3 cabinet.
Note : External air supply MUST always be restricted to
insure that the air supply cannot replace air as fast as it
escapes when an automatic sprinkler operates.
Warning : When air supply style "D" is selected, the air
supply should be provided and installed by the sprinkler
contractor OUTSIDE of the TOTALPAC ®3 cabinet. Air
supply is NOT provided with the unit.

2. Operation
2.1 Air supply Style "A" (refer to figure 2)
To apply air supply
Establish AC power for the air compressor by activating
the correspondent circuit breaker at the electrical
distribution panel. Start air compressor by activating the
compressor isolating switch (E15) located on the junction
box of the unit (see figure 2 in section E CONTROLS
SECTION).
If the air compressor motor fails to start or slows down
under load, shut the air compressor off. Check that the
supply voltage agrees with the motor nameplate.
To close air supply
Turn off the compressor isolating switch (E15) (see
figure 2 in section E CONTROLS SECTION).
To adjust air supply
The air compressor cut-off pressure switch (E2) is factory
set. This switch should not need any adjustment but if
necessary, follow the instructions below:
WARNING The adjustment screw of the cut-out/cut-in
differential pressure switch (E2) (small screw to the right)
is factory set. DO NOT CHANGE ITS SETTING. Any
unauthorized modification of this adjustment screw will
void the system warranty and may also prevent the system
from operating normally.
1. Remove the metal cover of the compressor air pressure
switch (E2).
2. To raise the cut-out pressure of the air compressor, turn
the cut-out adjustment screw (middle) half a turn
CLOCKWISE. Use the same method turning the cut-
out adjustment screw COUNTER-CLOCKWISE to lower
the air compressor cut-out pressure.

FM-072Q-0-109B
Note : Do not turn the cut-out adjustment screw (middle) all
the way down in one shot. Proceed by steps.
3. OPEN the main drain valve (D3) and let the pressure
drop until the air compressor restarts. Check pressure
reading on the system pressure gauge when the air
compressor stops again. Repeat until the desired
pressure is reached. Once all done, replace the metal
cover on the switch (E2).
2.2 Air supply Style "B" (refer to figure 3)
To apply air supply
1. Turn on upstream air supply.
2. OPEN APMD (air pressure maintenance device) input
valve (E6) by placing handle in line with valve body.
3. OPEN APMD output valve (E7) by placing handle in line
with the valve body.
4. OPEN bypass valve (E8) by placing handle in line with
valve body in order to accelerate filling of sprinkler
piping network by air pressure, while piping is initially
filled.
5. Once the piping network pressure is reached, CLOSE the
bypass valve (E8) by placing handle crossways to valve
body, and kept in this position.
Note: The bypass valve (E8) must be kept closed once the
system is filled with air.
To close air supply
1. CLOSE APMD output valve (E7) by placing handle
crossways to valve body.
2. CLOSE APMD input valve (E6) by also placing handle
crossways to the valve body.
3. Be sure bypass valve (E8) is CLOSED (handle crossways
to valve body).
To adjust air supply
1. Verify that APMD input valve (E6) and APMD output
valve (E7) are both OPEN (handle in line with the valve
body).
2. Be sure that bypass valve (E8) is CLOSED (handle
crossways to valve body) prior to performing this
operation.
3. Loosen lock nut of the APMD (E5) and turn pressure
adjustment nut clockwise to increase air pressure or
counter-clockwise to decrease pressure.
4. Tighten lock nut.
Note: Depending on site conditions, the internal filter of the
APMD may need maintenance on a regular basis. Refer to
Viking data sheet #127 for more details.
2.3 Air supply Style "D" (refer to figure 4)
To apply air supply
1. Turn on upstream air supply.
2. OPEN air shut-off valve (E6).
