Introduction
FM-200®is a clean, safe fire fighting agent for use in total
flooding automatic extinguishing systems. It is intended
as a long term replacement for Halon 1301 and, whilst
maintaining the excellent fire suppression properties of
Halon, has none of the environmental problems. Storage
and distribution requirements are similar to Halon and the
majority of system components are identical. However,
FM-200®is not a direct replacement for existing Halon
1301 installations due to the difference in agent quantity
and discharge characteristics. The minimum FM-200®
design concentration for Class A hazards is 6.4% for UL
Listed systems or 7.17% for FM Approved systems, and
for Class B hazard is at least 9.0%.
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
accepts use in normally occupied areas where the
concentration doesn't exceed 9%. The safe use criteria has
further been confirmed by the Halon Alternative Group
(HAG) report. Refer to NFPA 2001, 2008 edition “Clean
Agent Fire Extinguishing Systems,” Section 1-5 “Safety,”
for additional exposure requirements.
The systems described in this manual are ‘engineered’.
Engineered systems for example, may consist of several
FM-200®containers, modularised or manifolded together
and connected via a pipe network to a number of discharge
nozzles.
Systemsmay beactivatedmechanicallyorelectrically.
Mechanical manual actuation is via a manual actuator
attached to the container valve. Electrical actuation is
via a removable side mounted solenoidor a top mounted
electrical actuator. Actuation can occur automatically via
a signal from a detection and alarm control panel.
Users of this manual should find that sufficient
information is provided to plan, design, purchase
components, install, operate and maintain the system.
However, in the event that part of the document is not
understood, or if there is any concern as to the suitability
of the protection, do not hesitate to contact one of our
specialist engineers for the matter to be quickly resolved.
Approvals and Standards
The manufactured equipment and the FM-200®agent
have comprehensive approvals and listings providing
further support to the overall product.

FM-200®systems are manufactured in strict accordance
with the internationally recognised Quality assurance
Standard, BS EN IS0 9000 and approved to ISO 9001.
FM-200®Extinguishing System units are to be designed,
installed, inspected, maintained, tested and recharged
by qualified, trained personnel in accordance with The
Standard on Clean Agent Fire Extinguishing Systems,
NFPA2001, 2008 edition and to be used in accordance
with Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Significant
New Alternatives Program (SNAP). Where determined
to be appropriate by the authority having jurisdiction,
other applicable standards may additionally be utilised to
specific system requirements for these purposes.
Health and Safety
A properly designed and installed extinguishing system
should not present any significant health or safety
problems, however, there are basic precautions to be taken
to avoid accidents, and aspects of the system operation that
should be understood. End-users often require reassurance
regarding the safety of personnel, and this can only be
given if a thorough understanding of the properties of the
agent and its effects in different situations are known. Best
practice should be observed.
FM-200®extinguishes primarily through heat
absorption, and does not sufficiently deplete oxygen
levels.
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Therefore, exposure to FM-200®at the design
concentration of 7.17%*, and up to 9.0%, is not hazardous
to health. Exposure to higher concentrations is permissible
for limited periods. Refer to NFPA 2001, 2008 edition
Section 1-5 “Safety,” for exposure requirements. As with
halons, the US EPA and the National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA) recommend that unnecessary
exposure to any agent be avoided and that personnel
evacuate protected areas as quickly as possible to avoid
the decomposition products of the fire.
FM-200®can decompose at high temperatures to form
halogen acids. If so, their presence is readily detected as
a sharp, pungent odour long before hazardous maximum
exposure levels are reached. Fire toxicity studies conclude
that generally decomposition products from the fire itself,
especially carbon monoxide, smoke, heat, and oxygen
depletion, create a greater hazard.
The noise created by the FM-200® agent discharging
can be loud enough to startle people in the vicinity, but is
unlikely to cause any permanent injury. Turbulence caused
by the high velocity discharge can dislodge substantial
objects directly in its path, and cause enough general
turbulence within the protected area to move paper and
light objects.
Direct contact with the vaporising liquid discharged
from an FM-200®nozzle has a chilling effect on objects
and in extreme cases can cause frostbite to the skin. The
liquid phase vaporises rapidly when mixed with air and
therefore limits the risk to the immediate vicinity of the
nozzle. Minor reduction in visibility may occur for a brief
period due to the condensation of water vapour.

WARNING
The discharge of clean agent systems to extinguish
a fire can result in a potential hazard to personnel
from the natural form of the clean agent or from the
products of combustion that results from exposure
of the agent to the fire or hot surfaces. Unnecessary
exposure of personnel either to the natural agent or
to the products of decomposition shall be avoided.

First Aid
Refer to the FM-200
®
Material Safety Data Sheet within
Appendix C.
FM-200® Agent Characteristics
FM-200®(HFC-227ea) is a clean agent containing no
particles or oily residues. It is produced under ISO 9002
guidelines to strict manufacturing specifications ensuring
product purity. FM-200®leaves no residue or oily deposits
on delicate electronic equipment, and can be removed
from the protected space by ventilation.
FM-200®is thermally and chemically stable,
but without the extremely long atmospheric lifetimes
associated with some other clean agents. The atmospheric
lifetime of FM-200®has been determined to be 36.5 years.
The US EPA SNAP does not consider FM-200®to be a
long lived substance when discharged, and as such has
placed no restrictions on its use. (Environmental Protection
Agency’s Significant New Alternatives Program).
Typical areas that may be protected by an FM-
200®system are detailed below; the list is by no means
exhaustive:
Bank Vaults
Libraries
Rare Book Stores
Electronic Data Processing
Telephone Exchanges
Studios
Communication Centres
Transformer and Switchrooms
Control Rooms
Test Laboratories
Flammable Liquid Stores
The present understanding of the functioning of
FM-200®is that 80% of its fire fighting effectiveness is
achieved through heat absorption and 20% through direct
chemical means (action of the fluorine radical on the chain
reaction of a flame). Complete suppression using FM-
200®has the following advantages:
Less visual obscurity and minimal risk to
personnel.
Low toxicity.
Most effective when used with automatic detection to
introduce FM-200®with a 10 second discharge.
The ability to prevent re-ignition providing
concentration levels are maintained.
FM-200®is stored as a liquified compressed gas and is
discharged into the protected area as a vapour. It is stored
in approved DOT or TPED containers and is super-
pressurised with dry nitrogen to 25 bar @ 21 °C (360 psi
@ 70 °F).

shall not be used on fires involving the
following materials unless they have been tested to
the satisfaction of the authority having jurisdiction:
• Certain chemicals or mixtures of chemicals, such
as cellulose nitrate and gunpowder, that are capable
of rapid oxidation in the absence of air.
• Reactive metals such as lithium, sodium,
potassium, magnesium, titanium, zirconium,
uranium and plutonium.
• Metal hydrides.
• Chemicals capable of undergoing autothermal
decomposition, such as certain organic peroxidase
and hydrazine.

Figure 4 - Burst Disc
Burst Disc
A burst disc is factory fitted to every valve assembly. It
is designed to rupture when the container becomes over
pressurised when subjected to temperatures above the
designed storage temperature of the container.
Principle of Operation
The FM-200®valve is a high-flow-rate device specially
designed for use in fire systems. Operation is by means of
a pressure-differential piston. Container pressure is used
within the valve to create a positive force on the piston,
sealing the valve closed. Operation of the valve occurs
when the upper chamber is vented faster than the ‘make
up device’ in the shuttle can replace the pressure. Thereby
allowing, the shuttle to be forced up, and free flow of FM-
200®from the valve. Upper chamber pressure is released
by the electrical, mechanical or pneumatic actuator.
The valve incorporates the following features:
A pressure operated safety release device (burst disc).
Main outlet, fitted with anti-recoil cap.
A connection for a pneumatic, mechanical or
electrical actuator, fitted with safety cap.
A connection for an electrical solenoid.
A connection for the pneumatic actuation port.

Fixing Brackets
The bracket assembly consists of one back channel and a
nut and bolt with two bracket half straps. To securely hold
the container in position during the system discharge, two
bracket assemblies are required per container. The only
exceptions are the 4.5 and 8 litre containers which only
require one.
Each strap is notched for insertion into the back channel
allowing the container to be properly aligned. The bracket
assembly is designed to be mounted to a rigid vertical
surface with the container assembly resting fully on the
floor.
