Valve Setting Procedure
1. Close System Main Control Valve (B) and Diaphragm Supply Valve (P).
2. Open the Main Drain Valve (D), System Drain Valve (E), and all auxiliary drains in the system.
Close the auxiliary drain valves and the System Drain Valve (E) after water stops discharging.
Leave the Main Drain Valve (D) open. Ensure that the Pressure Gauge Valves and the Alarm
Control Valve (H) are open.
3. Depress plunger of Automatic Drain Valve (F) to verify it is open.
4. Clean Diaphragm Supply Strainer (Q). Flush strainer by opening the Diaphragm Supply
Valve (P).
5. Replace operated pilot sprinklers and/or reset remote manual control stations.
6. Open Manual Control Station (M) and Diaphragm Supply Valve (P). After water stops dis-
charging, slowly close the operating lever. Do not close the hinged cover at this time.
7. After water stops discharging, reset the Manual Reset Actuator (N) until water stops flowing
from its drain tube and pressure reaches approximately 15 psi (1,0 bar) on Diaphragm Gauge
(K).
8. Crack open Inspector’s Test Connection and any other vent valves. After air has stopped
discharging, close vent valves and Inspector’s Test Connection.
9. With diaphragm chamber pressurized, temporarily close Diaphragm Supply Valve (P) and
observe Diaphragm Gauge (K) for a drop in pressure. If a pressure drop is noted, replace
DV-5ADiaphragm and correct any leaks before proceeding.
10. If Diaphragm Gauge (K) indicates no drop in pressure, re-open the Diaphragm Supply
Valve (P) and proceed.
11. Partially open System Main Control Valve (B). Slowly close Main Drain Valve (D) as water
discharges from Main Drain Valve (D). Observe Automatic Drain Valve (F) for leaks. If there
are leaks, correct the leakage problem.
12. Close hinged cover of Manual Control Station (M). Insert a new break rod in the small hole
through the top of the enclosing box.
13. Open System Main Control Valve (B).
14. After setting fire protection system, notify proper authorities and advise those responsible
for monitoring proprietary and/or central station alarms.
Drop in Water Supply Pressure Below Normal Range
1. Note water supply pressure by the Diaphragm Gauge (K) and determine if the pressure is
within normally expected range.
2. If below normal range, correct any leakage from diaphragm chamber prior to resetting the
system.
3. When water supply pressure is restored, reset DV-5AValve in accordance with the Valve
Setting Procedure.
Waterow Alarm Test Procedure
1. Open Alarm Test Valve (G), allowing water to flow to Waterflow Pressure Switch (C) and/or
Water Motor Alarm. Close the Alarm Test Valve (G) when test is completed.
2. Depress plunger on Automatic Drain Valve (F) to drain alarm line.
Wet Pilot Actuation Operation Test Procedure
1. Close System Main Control Valve (B).
2. Open Main Drain Valve (D).
3. Open System Main Control Valve (B) one turn beyond position at which water just begins
to flow from Main Drain Valve (D).
4. Slowly close Main Drain Valve (D).
5. Open Inspector’s Test Connection.
6. Verify DV-5aValve has tripped, as indicated by the flow of water into system.
7. Close System Main Control Valve (B).
8. Close Diaphragm Supply Valve (P).
9. Reset DV-5aValve in accordance with Valve Setting Procedure.
Internal Valve Inspection
1. Ensure that Steps 1 to 4 of the Valve Setting Procedure are completed prior to proceeding
with the Internal Valve Inspection.
2. Ensure Diaphragm Supply Valve (P) is closed. If provided as part of the valve trim, close
Inverted Flare Shut-Off Valve (R).
3. Remove the Supply Line between the Diaphragm Supply Valve (P) and the System Main
Control Valve (B). If provided as part of the valve trim, remove the Supply Line between the
Diaphragm Supply Valve (P) and Inverted Flare Shut-Off Valve (R).
4. Loosen union securing Actuation Trim and remove Actuation Trim.
5. Remove union between Diaphragm Cover and MRA-1 Manual Reset Actuator (N). Remove
MRA-1 Manual Reset Actuator (N) subassembly.
6. Remove Diaphragm Valve Cover hardware, slowly remove Diaphragm Cover and perform
internal valve inspection. Clean valve interior and replace parts as necessary.
7. Ensure Diaphragm is properly oriented and proper hardware arrangement is utilized.
8. Insert Long Hex Bolts. Align Diaphragm with Valve Body, and then align Diaphragm Cover
with Valve Body. Insert Short Hex Bolts. Hand-tighten all fasteners.
9. Using crossdraw sequence, wrench-tighten Long Hex Bolts and Short Hex Bolts. Repeat
crossdraw sequence two to three times at incremental torque valves.
10. Inspect to assure all Hex Bolts are securely tightened.
11. Using the union, secure the MRA-1 Manual Reset Actuator (N) to the Diaphragm Cover.
12. Using union, secure Actuation Trim.
13. Replace the Supply Line between the Diaphragm Supply Valve and the System Main
Control Valve (B). If provided as part of the valve trim, replace Supply Line between Diaphragm
Supply Valve (P) and Inverted Flare Shut-Off Valve (R).
14. Ensure unions and flare fittings are securely tightened.
15. If provided with the valve trim, and with Diaphragm Supply Valve (P) closed, fully open
Inverted Flare Shut-Off Valve (R) stainless steel screw (approximately 1/2 in.) until resistance
is met.
16. Proceed with Step 5 of the Valve Setting Procedures.
