MDB filter system

Before installing the components of SHIELD fire safety 
solutions, make sure the Cart-D filter cartridges of the 
connected MDB filter system are properly installed. To check 
this, refer to the corresponding manual.

Securely check the installation of the Cart-D filter cartridges. 

4.2

Tools and requirements

- connection wire: 5 x 20 AWG
- connection wire: 5 x 20 AWG shielded cable
- electric drill
- self-tapping screws
- mounting material ShieldControl 5k1
- metal cable glands
- duct support material (depending on weight of sliding valves)
- lifting and climbing gear
- existing duct: angle grinder or jigsaw

4.3

Installation and commissioning

To avoid accidental fire alarms and the activation of FlameShield 
fire extinguishing generators, the following installation and 
commissioning sequence should be followed. Deviation from 
this sequence is allowed, provided the FlameShield module(s) 
is/are always the last to be connected, even after having 
performed the functional tests. 

1. Filter/fan installation
2. System control panel SCP
3. ShieldControl panel (

without power

)

4. Detectors (heat, sparks, smoke)
5. Valves (sliding solenoid valve)
6. FlameShield fire extinguishing generators (

isolated

)

Refer to chapter 13 for extensive commissioning checklist.

4.4

Functional test

To perform any functional test, the following instructions should 
be followed.

Ensure that the FlameShield module(s) is/are isolated.

Perform detector test. Sound alarm will go off. 

Check fire zone (

FIRE IN ZONE

). 

Press the 

SIGNAL SILENCE

 button on the ShieldControl panel to 

suppress alarm. 

Press the 

SYSTEM RESET

 button. 

To proceed with testing: 

Restart procedure. 

If testing has been completed: 

Reconnect the FlameShield module(s). 

Make sure the panel is in 

RUN

 mode.

      

5.1

Product description and operation

ShieldControl 5k1 is a fire detection panel

1

 with a separate 

manual call point. It has three detection zones all of which are 
capable of activating the FlameShield fire extinguishing 
generators. 
The fire detection panel makes it possible to connect additional 
manual call points. 

ShieldControl has two back-up batteries to allow for continuous 
operation in the event of power failure.

5.2

Installation

To be sourced locally: 
- connection wire: 5 x 20 AWG shielded cable
- mounting material
- metal cable glands

Location

- on the wall or at a convenient location close to the filter 

installation

- at eye level
- indoors

Ambient conditions

- Min. temperature: –5°C (23°F)
- Max. temperature: +40°C (104°F)
- Relative humidity: max. 95%

The ShieldControl housing is NEMA 1 rated. It must be shielded 
from excessive dust, welding sparks and grinding sparks, if any, 
by e.g. an enclosure. 

Installation

To install the ShieldControl panel, proceed as follows. 

Mount the ShieldControl panel at all four mounting points. 
Use suitable fixtures so that the panel cannot move after it 
has been installed. 

5.3

Fire alarm sounder

Installation, tone selection and volume control of the fire alarm 
sounder are described in the installation manual supplied with 
the product. 

Mount the fire alarm sounder at an appropriate position. 

Select the desired tone.

Adjust the noise to the desired level.

INSTALLATION (GENERAL)

WARNING!

Improper installation of the Cart-D filter cartridges will 
cause internal leakage and a reduced filter efficiency. 
In combination with SHIELD fire safety solutions it can 
lead to a false fire alarm.
