Before operating the protected vessel, visually inspect pressure gauge for compliance and
ensure the supervisory (indicator) light is lit. If gauge reads low in pressure, and or the indica-
tor light is extinguished, remove, and replace the system immediately.

Never paint or obstruct the detection tube, as this will adversely affect its operating charac-
teristic. FT models are non-refillable. See nameplate on cylinder for instructions and OUT

REMINDER:

• FREQUENTLY CHECK GAUGE FOR PROPER PRESSURE

Sea-Fire FT model series FM-200

®

 automatic fire extinguishers are designed and tested to

extinguish Class C (electrical) and Class B (flammable liquid) fires in enclosed compart-
ments only. Any open doors or hatches will allow discharging agent to escape and will seri-
ously affect the ability of the agent to extinguish the fire.

Only one extinguisher may be used to protect a compartment. If more than one extinguisher
is used to achieve the required amount of agent concentration, there is no guarantee that
several extinguishers will actuate simultaneously as each extinguisher operates indepen-
dently. Several extinguishers may be used only if each independent extinguisher is capable
of protecting the entire volume of the compartment.
