General Description
The Reliable Model DDX PrePaK system with integrated
nitrogen generation is a completely self-contained, super-
vised preaction system that can be readily installed within
a floor space of less than 7 ft2(0.65 m2) (not including door
swing). Installation of the PrePaK system (not including ex-
terior devices, i.e., detectors and alarm bells) requires three
piping connections: the water supply, the sprinkler system,
and the drain. Reference locations of these piping connec-
tions are shown in Fig.1. Independent electrical supplies are
required for the optional system air compressor (115 or 220 VAC),
the optional Potter Model 4410 Releasing Control Panel (115/220
VAC), and the nitrogen generator (115 VAC).
Full assembly drawings for the units are available on the
Reliable Automatic Sprinkler Company website (www.reli-
ablesprinkler.com).
The Reliable Model DDX N2-Blast®PrePaK system incor-
porates a South-Tek Systems FPS-900 pressure swing ad-
sorption N2-Blast®nitrogen generator, complete with inde-
pendent air compressor, nitrogen storage tank, and control
system. The nitrogen generator is completely wired, tested,
and integrated with the Model DDX PrePaK system, and
supplies 98% pure nitrogen to the piping network to limit
electrochemical, galvanic, and micro-biologically influenced
corrosion (MIC). Operation and maintenance information
can be found in this bulletin as well as the South-Tek Sys-
tems website (www.southteksystems.com).
The Reliable Model DDX PrePaK system utilizes an option-
al Potter Model PFC-4410-RC Releasing Control Panel. This
fully programmable, microprocessor-based releasing panel
is Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. Listed and is in compli-
ance with NFPA 13 and NFPA 72. The PFC-4410-RC is
totally zone and output programmable such that the Reli-
able Model DDX PrePaK system can be utilized in many dif-
ferent preaction applications without having to rewire any of
the factory installed devices. Once the previously described
connections are completed, the 24 VDC detectors, output
devices, and relay contacts may be connected to achieve
the desired system implementation.

The Model DDX Type D PrePaK system can be used in
both single and double interlock applications. Reliable Sin-
gle and Double Interlock Preaction Systems are designed
for water sensitive areas that require protection from inad-
vertent water flow into the sprinkler system piping.
The major benets of a single/double interlock preaction
System, when compared with a wet pipe system, are as fol-
lows:
A. A re alarm sounds prior to the flow of water from a
sprinkler, which may enable extinguishing the re by
handheld means before the operation of any sprinkler
occurs.
B. An annunciator signals whenever the integrity of piping
or sprinklers is accidentally or intentionally disturbed;
however, no water flow occurs unless the detection sys-
tem has been activated .
C. Detection and notication of a re condition are provid-
ed by re detectors, without the delay associated with
water delivery time in the event of a re. Note that with
a wet pipe system, the re alarm is delayed until after
water has begun flowing from an operated sprinkler.
In single interlock applications, one or more detectors
sense the presence of re, thereby causing the electrical re-
leasing control panel to activate notication appliances and
energize the solenoid releasing valve to the open position.
The use of cross-zoned detectors will require operation of
two detectors on separate zones before the solenoid valve
can open (Note: Verify that the detection method, including
the use of cross-zoned detection, are permitted by all ap-
plicable codes and standards, as well as the requirements
of all authorities having jurisdiction. Cross-zoned detection
may not be permitted in New York City or by Factory Mu-
tual.) The solenoid valve, when closed, preserves supply
water pressure in the Model DDX valve’s push-rod chamber.
Actuating the solenoid valve releases that water pressure
which allows the Model DDX valve to open.
To discharge water from sprinklers on a single interlock
system with cross-zoned detection, two separate electrical
detection zone must activate and a sprinkler must open.
During the early stages of a re, smoke or heat activates
the rst detector, which causes the control panel to produce
a local alarm and an alarm at the re alarm panel. Electri-
cal relays inside the releasing control panel can be used to
shut down air moving equipment or activate security doors
and other electrical devices when the panel goes into this
rst condition. Subsequent activation of a second, nearby or
adjacent detector, on a separate detection zone, will cause
the panel to energize the solenoid valve open and release
water into the sprinkler piping. Water flowing into the sprin-
kler piping will simultaneously produce water pressure that
cause the transfer of contacts in the alarm pressure switch
mounted in the riser assembly, thereby activating a water
flow alarm device. The flow of water into the sprinkler piping
effectively converts the dry system into a wet-pipe sprinkler
system. In the event that the re subsequently produces
sufcient heat to operate a sprinkler, water will flow from
that sprinkler.
To flow water into a double interlock preaction system,
two events must take place: a re detection device must
operate, and a pressure switch must be operated by the
loss of system pressure (sprinkler operation). These two
signals, an electric signal from the detection system and
an electrical signal from the pressure (pneumatic) sensor,
must coexist at the releasing control panel, which only then
will energize the solenoid releasing valve causing water flow
into the sprinkler system and out of the open sprinkler(s).
In the event that the system piping is ruptured or a sprin-
kler is accidentally opened, the system pressure switch will
operate and an alarm will sound. The Model DDX Type D
however, will not release water since the detection system
has not been activated.
When using the Reliable Model DDX PrePaK system in
either single or double interlock applications, the sprinkler
system is pressurized (supervised) with air or nitrogen and
is monitored by a system pressure switch.
A Model B Hydraulic Manual Emergency Releasing sta-
tion is standard equipment in the Model DDX PrePaK sys-
tem. It consists of an aluminum nameplate mechanically at-
tached to a ball valve. The valve handle in its OFF position is
guarded against accidental turning to the ON position (and
system discharge) by a nylon cable tie provided with the
PrePaK system assembly. The cable tie is designed to allow,
in case of an emergency, forceful turning of the valve handle
to the ON position.

Installation Requirements
The automatic sprinklers, releasing devices, re detection
devices, manual pull stations, and signaling devices which
are utilized with the Reliable Model DDX Type D PrePaK sys-
tem must be UL and/or ULC Listed or FM Approved, as ap-
plicable.
The steel enclosure and all the interconnecting piping
must be located indoors in a readily visible and accessible
location and in an area that can be maintained at a mini-
mum temperature of 40°F (4°C). Note: Heat tracing is not
permitted. The solenoid valve is operated and supervised
by the Potter Model PFC-4410-RC Releasing Control Panel.
Details on the electrical connections of this system to the
Potter Panel can be found in the Potter Manual #5403550,
Installation, Operation and Instruction of PFC-4410-RC Re-
leasing Control Panel (this manual is included with other
pertinent manuals and shipped inside the enclosure). This
panel is fully zone and output programmable and may be
adapted to several applications.
Optional Seismic Kit
Reliable part number 6501200041 (25” x 28” cabinet for 2”
-4” systems without nitrogen generator) and 6501200042 (30”
x 33” cabinet for 6” and 8” systems, and all units with nitrogen
generator) are seismic upgrade kits required to make the Re-
liable PrePaK OSHPD compliant. One kit is required for each
PrePaK (reference Caution Sheet 331).
System Supervising Pressure Requirements
In accordance with NFPA 13, when using the Reliable
Model DDX Type D PrePaK system in double interlock ap-
plications, a minimum of 7 psi (0.5 bar) pneumatic pressure
is required to supervise the sprinkler system. When initially
lling the system with air, the enclosure’s door should re-
main open in order to provide maximum intake air flow to
the air compressor. The air compressor is connected to an
ASME rated storage tank. This tank functions as a reser-
voir, providing make-up air to compensate for small, inter-
mittent leaks in the sprinkler system. It should be noted that
signicant leaks may overburden this storage tank, thereby
causing the air compressor to continuously cycle on and off.
The Pressure Maintenance Device supplied with the sys-
tem is factory set to maintain system pneumatic pressure
at approximately 10 psi (0.7 bar). Readjusting system pres-
sure to approximately 10 psi (0.7 bar), if necessary, is ac-
complished by rst loosening the locknut on the air pressure
regulator and turning the adjustment screw. The system air
pressure gauge that is attached to the vertical pipe/manifold
(mounted directly above the Model DDX Deluge Valve) may
be used to verify the correct level of pneumatic pressure.
The system air pressure switch is factory set to operate
between 8 psi and 4 psi (0.6 bar and 0.3 bar) with decreas-
ing pressure.
System Electrical Requirements
All releasing, alarm, and detection devices in the Reli-
able Model DDX Type D PrePaK system are supervised by
a Potter Model PFC-4410-RC Releasing Control Panel. All
of the terminals are translated to a water-tight terminal box
mounted on the interior of the enclosure. All eld wiring
is connected to this terminal box. Note: The EOL (End of
Line) resistors have also been relocated.
The Reliable Model DDX PrePaK system is delivered with
six factory-installed electrical devices. They consist of the
following:
1. A system air pressure switch, which is used to monitor
sprinkler piping.
2. An alarm pressure switch, which indicates an actuation
of the deluge valve.
3. A normally-closed, releasing solenoid valve, which is
used to actuate the deluge valve.
4. A 1/2 HP (2”, 2-1/2”, & 3” valve), or 1 HP (4” valve) air
compressor with tank.
5. A supervised butterfly (main control) valve (Note: A
system side butterfly valve is available as an option).
6. A release control disable switch (RCDS) which is used
to disable the solenoid valve for test purposes.

5.
The factory electrical connections of these devices, along
with information on the connection of detection devices
(initiating zones 1 and 2), signaling devices, and supervi-
sory outputs to the Potter PFC4420-RC Releasing Control
Panel are included in this bulletin. The power supply, stand-
by emergency power supply, battery charger and rectier
circuitry are all contained within the PFC4410 panel. Bat-
teries that provide 90 hours of standby power are provided
with the panel. For additional information and detailed wiring
diagrams, please refer to Potter Manual #5403550 (Installa-
tion, Operation, and Instruction of PFC4410-RC Releasing
Control Panel).
Note: In order for the solenoid valve to maintain a warranty it must
remain sealed as it came from the factory. If there are concerns
about the valve’s internal components, immediate replacement is
recommended.
System Operation (Single Interlock)
To fully activate and discharge water from the Reliable
Model DDX Type D PrePaK system in a single interlock ap-
plication, a re detection device (smoke, heat, etc.; or two
devices with cross-zoned detection) must activate. Subse-
quently, a re sprinkler must open.
When the single interlock preaction system is set for ser-
vice, the supply pressure acts both on the underside of the
deluge valve’s clapper and on the valve’s push rod by means
of the pressurized push rod chamber. The pressure force
acting on the push rod, when utilized with the mechanical
advantage of the deluge valve’s lever, is more than sufcient
to hold the clapper in the closed position against the water
supply pressure.
Energizing the releasing solenoid valve allows the deluge
valve push-rod chamber to be vented to drain. Since the
pressure cannot be replenished through the inlet restriction
as rapidly as it is vented though the outlet, the push-rod
chamber pressure falls rapidly. When the push-rod chamber
pressure drops below one-third of the supply pressure, the
opening force acting beneath the clapper becomes greater
than the push-rod force acting on the lever. This causes the
clapper to open. Refer to Reliable Bulletin 519 for further
details.
Once the clapper has opened, the lever acts as a latch,
preventing the clapper from returning to the closed posi-
tion. Water from the supply flows through the deluge valve
into the system piping. Water also flows through the deluge
valve alarm outlet to activate any water flow alarm devic-
es. Note that the solenoid valve will be maintained open by
the Potter Model PFC-4410-RC Releasing Control Panel’s
latching feature until it is reset for operation.
After system shutdown and draining, the Model DDX Del-
uge Valve is easily reset without special tools using the ex-
ternal reset feature. Restore detection devices by resetting
or replacing any operated device. Once detection devices
are restored, (the Potter Model PFC-4410-RC Releasing
Control Panel reset), and supply pressure is re-supplied to
the push-rod chamber, the deluge valve is reset.
System Operation (Double Interlock)
To fully activate and discharge water from the Reliable
Model DDX Type D PrePaK system in a double interlock ap-
plication, two independent events must coexist. An electri-
cal re detection device (smoke, heat, etc.) and the system
air pressure switch must be activated. This pressure switch
is activated by a reduction of the system pneumatic pres-
sure as a result of sprinkler operation. Both of these events
will cause the control panel to energize the solenoid valve,
thereby releasing water through the deluge valve and into
the sprinkler system. The initiation of either one of these
events will only cause an alarm to annunciate, and will not
ll the sprinkler system.
When the double interlock preaction system is set for ser-
vice, the supply pressure acts both on the underside of the
deluge valve’s clapper and on the valve’s push rod by means
of the pressurized push rod chamber. The pressure force
acting on the push rod, when utilized with the mechanical
advantage of the deluge valve’s lever, is more than sufcient
to hold the clapper in the closed position against the water
supply pressure.
Energizing the releasing solenoid valve allows the deluge
valve push-rod chamber to be vented to drain. Since the
pressure cannot be replenished through the inlet restriction
as rapidly as it is vented though the outlet, the push-rod
chamber pressure falls rapidly. When the push-rod chamber
pressure drops below one-third of the supply pressure, the
opening force acting beneath the clapper becomes greater
than the push-rod force acting on the lever. This causes the
clapper to open. Refer to Reliable Bulletin 519 for further
details.
Once the clapper has opened, the lever acts as a latch,
preventing the clapper from returning to the closed posi-
tion. Water from the supply flows through the deluge valve
into the system piping. Water also flows through the deluge
valve alarm outlet to activate any water flow alarm devic-
es. Note that the solenoid valve will be maintained open by
the Potter Model PFC-4410-RC Releasing Control Panel’s
latching feature until it is reset for operation.
After system shutdown and draining, the Model DDX Del-
uge Valve is easily reset without special tools using the ex-
ternal reset feature. Restore detection devices by resetting
or replacing any operated device. Once detection devices
are restored, (the Potter Model PFC-4410-RC Releasing
Control Panel reset), and supply pressure is re-supplied to
the push-rod chamber, the deluge valve is reset.

Resetting Single And Double Interlock Systems
1. Close the main valve controlling water supply to the del-
uge valve and close the ¼” air shutoff valve.
2. Close the pushrod chamber supply valve.
3. Open the main drain valve and drain system.
4. Open all drain valves and vents at low points through-
out the system, closing them when flow of water has
stopped. Open the Manual Emergency Release Valve.
Note: The above steps accomplish the relieving of
pressure in the pushrod chamber of the deluge valve.
5. Push in the plunger of ball drip valve to force the ball
from its seat, and drain any water in the alarm line.
6. With the Model B Manual Emergency Station open,
push in and rotate the deluge valve external reset knob
counterclockwise (when facing valve) until you hear a
distinct clicking noise, indicating that the clapper has
closed.
Note: The reset knob can be rotated only after pressure in
the pushrod chamber is reduced to atmospheric conditions
(0 psig).
7. Inspect and replace any portion of the sprinkler system sub-
jected to re conditions.
8. Verify that the following valves are in their respective posi-
tions:
Manual Emergency Release - open
Main Drain Valve - open
Alarm Line Valve - open
Alarm Test Valve - closed
Condensate Drain valve - closed
Air Supply Valves - closed
9. Open the pushrod chamber supply valve and allow water
to ll the deluge valve pushrod chamber. Close the Manual
Emergency Release valve.
10. Bleed any air from the actuation piping by energizing the so-
lenoid valve. This is done by operating the electric manual
release station. While water is flowing through the solenoid
valve, cause it to close by pressing the system reset but-
ton on the Potter PFC-4410-RC Releasing Control Panel.
Note: All detection devices and the manual pull station
must be reset before the releasing/control panel can be re-
set.
11. Open the air supply valve to restore air pressure in the sprin-
kler system. The rapid air-ll shutoff valve may be opened to
expedite lling of the sprinkler system.
12. Open slightly the main valve controlling water supply to
the Model DDX Deluge Valve, closing the main drain valve
when water flows. Observe if water leaks through the ball
drip valve into the drain manifold. If no leak occurs, the del-
uge valve clapper is sealed. Open slowly, and verify that
the main valve controlling water supply is fully opened and
properly monitored.
13. Verify that the pushrod chamber supply valve is fully open.
14. Secure the handle of the Model B Manual Emergency Sta-
tion in the OFF position with a nylon tie (supplied with the
assembly).
15. Press the system reset button on the Potter PFC-4410-RC
Panel to place the system in the ready condition. Note: All
detection devices must be reset before the panel can be
reset.
Maintenance
The Reliable Model DDX PrePaK system and associated
equipment shall periodically be given a thorough inspection and
test. NFPA 25, Standard for the Inspection, Testing and Mainte-
nance of Water Based Fire Protection Systems, provides mini-
mum maintenance requirements. Systems should be tested,
operated, cleaned and inspected at least annually, and parts
replaced as required. Periodically open the air/condensate drain
valve beneath the air tank to drain any condensate accumula-
tion. Bulletin 519 provides information for maintaining the Model
DDX Deluge Valve. Potter Manual #5403550 provides informa-
tion for maintaining the PFC-4410-RC Releasing Control Panel.
Inspection And Testing Of Single And Dou-
ble Interlock Systems
1. Water supply — Verify that the valve controlling water
supply to the deluge valve is opened fully and properly
monitored.
2. Alarm line — Verify that the alarm line valve is opened
and remains in this position.
3. Other trimming valves — Verify that the pushrod
chamber supply valve is open as well as all of the pres-
sure gauge valves.
4. Ball drip valve — Push in on the plunger to be sure the
ball check is off its seat. If no water appears, the deluge
valve water seat is tight. Inspect the bleed hole on the
underside of the pushrod chamber for leakage.
5. System pneumatic pressure — Verify that system
air pressure is between 7 and 10 psi (0.5 bar 0.7 bar).
Check the Pressure Maintenance Device for leakage
and proper pressure.
6. Releasing device — Check the outlet of the releas-
ing device (i.e., solenoid valve or the Model B Manual
Emergency Station) for leakage. Also verify that tub-
ing drain lines from releasing devices are not pinched
or crushed which could prevent proper releasing of the
deluge valve.
7. Testing alarms — Open the alarm test valve permit-
ting water from the supply to flow to the alarm pressure
switch and to the mechanical sprinkler alarm (if pres-
ent). After testing, close this valve completely. Push
in on the plunger of ball drip until all of the water has
drained from the alarm line.
8. Operational test — Open the Model B Manual Emer-
gency Station only, OR operate the solenoid valve by
electrical actuation. This can be done by operating
a detector or an electric manual emergency station.
Double interlock systems also require that the system
air pressure be discharged, through the inspectors test
station or other venting means, below 4 psi (0.3 bar)
before total system operation will occur. Note: An op-
erational test will cause the Deluge Valve to open and
flow water into the sprinkler system.
9. Secure the Model B Manual Emergency Station in the
OFF position with a nylon tie (included with the assem-
bly) after the deluge valve is reset.

Testing The Model DDX PrePaK Without
Causing Water Flow
1. Close the main valve controlling water supply to the del-
uge valve and open the main drain valve.
2. Verify that the pushrod chamber supply valve is open,
allowing water to enter the push-rod chamber.
3. Operate the detection system. For double interlock ap-
plications, also disable the air supply and open the con-
densate drain valve to discharge the system air pres-
sure.
4. Step #3 should result in a sudden drop of water pres-
sure in the deluge valve push-rod chamber via an ener-
gized solenoid valve.
5. Reset the detection system - Reverse the detection sys-
tem operations performed in Step #3 above. Note: All
detection devices must be reset before the Potter PFC-
4410-RC Releasing Control Panel can be reset.
6. Proceed according to the directions listed in the “Reset-
ting Single And Double Interlock Systems” section of
this bulletin.
Draining Excess/Condensate Water From
The System
1. Close the main valve controlling water supply to the
deluge valve and the pushrod chamber supply valve.
Open the main drain valve.
2. Slightly open the condensate drain valve until all water
(if any) drains completely. Note: Leaving the conden-
sate drain valve open for an extended period of time
may allow excess air to bleed off resulting in an undesir-
able low pressure supervisory signal.
3. Close the main drain valve. Allow the system air pres-
sure to return to its previous level. Open the pushrod
chamber supply valve rst, and then open the main
valve controlling the water supply to the deluge valve.

1. Inspections: It is imperative that the system be inspect-
ed and tested in accordance with NFPA 25 on a regular
basis. The frequency of the inspections may vary due to
contaminated water supplies, corrosive water supplies,
or corrosive atmospheres. In addition, the alarm de-
vices, detection systems, or other connected trim may
require a more frequent schedule. Refer to the system
description and applicable codes for minimum require-
ments.
2. The valve must be inspected at least monthly for
cracks, corrosion, leakage, etc., cleaned and replaced
as necessary.
3. If leakage is suspected through the solenoid valve, it
should be replaced.

OUTPUTS: 1 general alarm bell, 1 waterflow bell, 1 supervisory bell, 1 solenoid release circuit.
OPERATION: Activation of both conventional zones at the same time (or operation of the manual pull station within the
PrePaK system cabinet) will operate the solenoid release circuit and the general alarm bell. Activation of
either conventional zone will operate the general alarm bell. Activation of the waterflow zone will operate the
waterflow bell. Activation of either the low air zone or the supervisory zone will operate the supervisory bell.
When either Zone #1 or #2 is in alarm, Output #1 (general alarm) will operate. When Zones #1 and #2 are
in alarm at the same time, Output #4 (solenoid release) and Output #1(general alarm) will operate. When
Zone #3 is in alarm, Output #2 (waterflow bell) will operate. When either Zone #4 or the supervisory zone
is activated, Output #3 (supervisory bell) will operate.
Note:
(1) The Butterfly valve in the PrePaK system assembly is connected to Supervisory 2 input of the Potter PFC-4410RC Re-
leasing/Control panel
(2) The emergency manual release within the PrePaK system cabinet is wired into the conventional detection zones 1 and
2, and is designed to release the solenoid for setup and testing purposes.
