1- General description
This TOTALPAC®3FIRECYCLE ®III integrated fire protection
system by FIREFLEX Systems Inc. consists of a cycling
deluge 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
FIRECYCLE®detection network, the electrical trouble,
supervisory and alarm connections, as well as the AC
power line for the release control panel. The discharge
outlet is connected to a fixed piping network. Water is the
extinguishing agent.
Deluge system with FIRECYCLE®III release uses open type
sprinklers and/or spray nozzles on the system piping
network. The FIRECYCLE®rate compensated temperature
detector on detection network is installed in parallel with
the system piping network and is designed to totally flood
an area with pressurized water. Detection system gives
an alarm signal when it operate.
Deluge system is designed so the flow control valve will
open when a FIRECYCLE®detector on the detection
network activates. When the flow control valve opens,
water will flow into the system piping network and out of all
open type sprinklers and/or spray nozzles.
The TOTALPAC®3FIRECYCLE®III deluge system allows the
discharge cycle to stop after a preset delay when all
FIRECYCLE®detectors had returned to their normal
condition.
Note: Every TOTALPAC®3FIRECYCLE®III unit 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 FIRECYCLE ® III deluge system is built around
the Viking trim using straight through flow control valve
model J-1 (model J-2 is the Halar ® coated version for use
in corrosive environments).
The valve is rated up to a maximum of 250 PSI WWP
(1724 kPa) and is available in the following diameters:
 1½" (40 mm)  3" (80 mm)  6" (150 mm)
 2" (50 mm)  4" (100 mm)  8" (200 mm)
TOTALPAC ®3 FIRECYCLE ® III deluge system is supplied with
groove/groove flow control valve. Unit with flange/flange
flow control valve is also available on request.
6.1 Deluge system
The deluge system uses the Viking flow control valve
which opens when a FIRECYCLE ® detector from the
detection network activates, or anytime the handle of the
emergency release valve is pulled.
7- System release
7.1 FIRECYCLE ® III release
Deluge system with FIRECYCLE ® release requires an
electric detection network equipped with FIRECYCLE ®
detectors. Release trim for the flow control valve requires
a normally closed solenoid valve controlled by an approved
releasing control panel (if provided with this system, see
section E CONTROLS SECTION and VFR-400 manual for
details).
In fire condition, the activation of a FIRECYCLE ® detector on
the detection network is required to energize the solenoid
valve, causing the flow control valve to open. Water will
flow from the deluge system through open type sprinklers
and/or spray nozzles.
The fire status is sensed by the FIRECYCLE ® detectors.
When both FIRECYCLE ® detectors had returned to their
normal state, a soak timer cycle starts. At the end of the
soak timer, if the detection condition is still normal, the
normally closed solenoid valve is de-energized, causing
the flow control valve to close, allowing the water flow to
stop automatically.
Should the fire rekindle, FIRECYCLE ® detectors will be
reactivated, and the discharge sequence will be initiated
again. This feature - unique to the TOTALPAC ®3
FIRECYCLE ® III deluge system - will repeat as long as
power is available to the releasing control panel, helping to
minimize water usage or damage, and reduce the danger
of pollution to surrounding areas.

the current section).
13. Notify the AUTHORITY HAVING JURISDICTION, remote
station alarm monitors, and those in the affected area
that the system is in service.
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.
1.4 System Operation
1.4.1 In the SET condition
System water supply pressure enters the priming chamber
of the flow control valve (A1) through the priming line which
includes a normally open priming valve (B1), strainer (B2),
restricted orifice (B3) and spring loaded check valve (B4).
Water pressure is trapped in the priming chamber of the
flow control valve (A1) by a spring loaded check
valve (B4), normally closed solenoid valve (F1), normally
open solenoid valve (F2), PORV (B9) (pressure operated
relief valve) and manual emergency release valve (B10).
The pressure in the priming chamber holds the flow control
valve clapper closed, keeping the outlet chamber and
system piping dry.
1.4.2 In a fire condition
When a FIRECYCLE ®detector is activated, the release
control panel activates an alarm and energizes both the
normally closed solenoid valve (F1) and normally open
solenoid valve (F2).
Pressure from the priming chamber of the flow control
valve (A1) is released to the open drain manifold faster
than it is supplied through the restricted orifice (B3). The
flow control valve clapper opens to allow water to flow into
the piping network and alarm devices, causing water flow
alarms connected to the alarm pressure switch (C1) and
the optional water motor alarm (C2) to activate. The
PORV (B9) is pressurized, purging the priming chamber
pressure. Water will flow from all open sprinklers/spray
nozzle on the system piping network.
Note: If the detection system operates due to mechanical
damage or malfunction, the flow control valve (A1) will
open. Alarm devices (C1 and optional C2) will operate.
Water will flow from the system piping network and flood
the protected area.
1.4.3Cycling discharge stop
Water discharges until all FIRECYCLE®detectors have reset
(cooled below their set point). The release control panel
then activates a soak timer, allowing the system to flow
water for a preset period of time (soak timer).
When the soak timer has elapsed, the release control
panel de-energizes the normally closed solenoid
valve (F1), allowing it to close. The normally open
solenoid (F2) remains energized closed.It rebuilds
pressure in the priming chamber of the flow control
valve (A1), allowing it to close and stop discharge.
Should a FIRECYCLE®detector go into alarm, the release
control panel energizes once again the normally closed
solenoid valve (F1), and the entire discharge cycle repeats.

Mechanical Section - Deluge System - FIRECYCLE
®
III Release
FM-076A-0-52A
1.4.4Manual operation
Anytime the handle of the manual emergency release
valve (B10) is triggered, pressure is released from the
priming chamber of the flow control valve (A1) causing
flow control valve to open. Water will flow into the system
piping network and alarm devices (C1 and optional C2) will
operate.Water will flow from all open sprinklers/spray
nozzle on the system piping network.The PORV (B9) will
keep the flow control valve (A1) open.
1.4.5 Fail-safe condition
In case of AC power loss following a cycling discharge
stop, if the main water supply valve (D1) is still open while
the batteries have reached their cycle end, the normally
open solenoid valve (F2) will be de-energized, causing the
flow control valve (A1) to reopen with the help of the
PORV (B9).
1.5 Emergency instructions
To take system out of service
WARNING ! Placing a control valve or detection system out
of service may eliminate the fire protection capabilities of
the system. Prior to proceeding, notify all local
AUTHORITIES HAVING JURISDICTION. Consideration should
be given to employ a fire patrol in the affected areas.
After a fire, verify that the fire is OUT and that placing the
system out of service has been authorized by the

Trim Options
FM-076A-0-82B
Deluge trim options
1. Shut-off valve & sight glass
The shut-off valve & sight glass option is intended to be
used for applications where testing of the system operation
without filling the sprinkler piping network is desirable and
where it is critical that all functions of the preaction system
be tested under actual discharge conditions. Examples of
such applications are freezers, ovens, museums, data
processing and other hazards where the possibility of
water leaking from the piping system is to be avoided at all
costs.
Operation of the shut-off valve
Inspection of the system can be implemented without filling
the sprinkler piping network with water.
1. CLOSE the sprinkler piping network shut-off valve (D4);
the valve is supervised on the same circuit as the main
water supply valve (D1).
2. OPEN the main drain valve (D3).
3. Simulate the operation of the system to open the deluge
valve (A1); see annual test under section B
INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE. Using a flashlight in the
sight glasses, verify that water flows through the sight
glass assembly (D5).
4. Once tests are completed, make sure the main drain
valve (D3) is completely CLOSED. Return the system in
service as per section B PLACING THE SYSTEM BACK IN
SERVICE.
5. Fully OPEN the shut-off valve (D4). Reset the release
control panel as per section E CONTROL BUTTONS.

2. Fire department connection
The fire department connection option consists of a
grooved tee fitting installed at the outlet of the deluge
valve (A1). An access hole of the proper diameter is
factory pre-drilled on the right side of the TOTALPAC®3
enclosure for connection going to the fire department
connection.
Note : The fire department connection hardware itself
(drain, siamese, etc.) is not provided with this option and
shall be provided by the installing contractor. Refer to
NFPA-13 Standards for additional information about the
equipment layout and installation.
Warning : The fire department connection is not available
on 8" (200 mm) system.

3. 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 inches 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 inches above the
dimension shown on the dimensional data of the system
ordered.

control panel
1.1Product description
The release control panel of the TOTALPAC®3system is an
add-on unit that is installed inside the cabinet at the
factory.
Once the left door is opened, the locked control panel door
can be opened to give access to the control panel, the
emergency battery compartment, and other related
equipment.
A releasing circuit disconnect switch is located at left of the
release control panel.
The control panel can be easily flipped once unlatched
from the right side, giving access to electrical junction's
box of the unit.
1.2Self-contained unit with Viking VFR-400 release
control panel
The Viking release control panel model VFR-400 is a listed
and approved, microprocessor based fire control/releasing
panel. The battery compartment can hold two 12 volt
batteries which are charged by an internal battery charger.
Batteries are available to provide up to 90 hours of backup
power during AC power failure.
The VFR-400 panel can be used with a wide range of
compatible initiating devices such as pull stations, heat
detectors (including linear heat detectors), photo-electric
and ionization smoke detectors.
For complete compatibility list, please see the Viking
VFR-400 Installation, operation and instruction manual
provided with the TOTALPAC®3unit.
Pre-configured programs allow field programming for one
of ten possible input/output combinations that are available
and listed for use with the TOTALPAC®3system.
A field wiring electrical junction boxes is integrated with the
cabinet for connection of detection system, auxiliary
contacts and signaling devices. All supply, inputs &
outputs are factory wired from the control panel to terminal
strips (TBA, TBB & TBC) for contractor's field wiring (see
figure 4 and the section F ELECTRICAL).
