Operation
3.1
TAV set type TMX (Figures 1 and 2)
The dry pipe alarm valve set (TAV set) is an assembly module consisting of a dry pipe alarm valve set
(TAV), gate valve and various smaller fittings. It has the following functions:
to separate the water supply from sprinkler pipework, which is at risk from frost .
to monitor the system pressure levels for water supply and pressure in the sprinkler pipework.
to release the extinguishing water in the event of a fire if one or more sprinklers have been
activated.
to set off the hydraulic and electric alarms if there is a fire (alarm gong, alarm pressure switch).
The TAV set must only be installed in areas that are free from frost. Separating the frost-risk area from
the water supply ensures that the sprinkler pipework will not freeze in the frost months.
The TAV set has been designed for a nominal pressure of PN 16. It can be supplied either in a flange
design or with a coupling connection (only on exit side).
3.1.1 Operating conditions
The gate valve (3) in the water supply must be open, and the handwheel secured with lock and
strap. The safety device is not required in systems with electrical monitoring.
The 3/2-way cock (4) must be in the Operating position.
The pressure gauge (9) gives the air pressure in the sprinkler pipework. It must be between the
maximum and minimum values shown.
The pressure gauge (11) shows the water supply pressure. It must be between the maximum and
minimum values shown.
The ball valve (7) in the compressed air feed must be closed; however, in systems with automatic
compressed air feed, it must be open.
In addition, for TAV sets with accelerator:

The ball valve (20) in the feed pipe to the accelerator must be open, and the lever secured with a
lock. The safety device is not required in monitored systems.
The ball valve (19) on the container must be closed.
The pressure gauge (18) must show the same pressure as the pressure gauge (9).
3.1.2 Release
If one or more sprinklers is activated, the pressure of the compressed air in the sprinkler pipework is
reduced. If the pressure falls below 1/5 of the water supply pressure, the valve head (2) opens and
water floods into the sprinkler pipework. At the same time, water flows through the alarm channel into
the alarm gong line, triggering the alarm pressure switch (12), and the alarm gong (15). The alarm
pressure switch (12) sends the alarm to a permanently staffed office, such as the fire brigade.
3.1.3 Test alarm

For a test alarm the 3/2-way cock (4) is set to Test until the alarm gong is heard (15) or the electric
alarm is triggered by the pressure switch (12). The pressurised water is taken directly from the water
supply beneath the valve heads, while the feed pipe to the alarm channel is simultaneously closed. This
test is meant to check the correct function of the alarm devices, and not the alarm valve.

3.1.4 Restoring operational readiness
Close gate valve (3) in the water supply.
Close the ball valve (7) if there is an automatic compressed air feed.
Empty the sprinkler pipework. Open the drainage valves on the sprinkler pipework and the ball valve
(16) on the set.
In sets with accelerator, open the ball valve (19) at the container, close the ball valve (20) in the
feed pipe, and then open the vent valve (21).
Replace activated sprinklers with new ones.
Set 3/2-way cock (4) to Test.
Carry out maintenance work on the dry pipe alarm valve (see Section 4.1.4)
Close the drainage valves on the sprinkler pipework and the ball valve (16) on the set.
Open the ball valve (7) in the compressed air feed and fill the sprinkler pipework with compressed air.
Note:
When filling the sprinkler pipework, it is important to ensure that the 3/2-way cock (4) is set to
Test, so that the alarm channel is blocked and the space below the valve head (2) and
above the drain valve (5) is ventilated.
If compressed air escapes from the drain valve (5), the gasket is not perfectly sealing the
valve seat. In such an event, the 3/2-way cock can temporarily be set to Closed, until
pressure of approximately 0.5 bar has built up in the sprinkler pipework. When the 3/2-way
cock is returned to the Test position, the resulting low pressure usually brings the gasket
back to its normal position on the valve seat.
If compressed air continues to escape from the drain valve (5), the space between the
gasket and the valve seat is too great. In this case, the compressed air must be completely
released and the correct position of the gasket on the valve head checked (see also TAV
maintenance in 4.1.4).
Once the sprinkler pipework has been filled, the 3/2-way cock must be set to Operation. Only then
is the valve head correctly locked.
Slowly open the gate valve (3) in the water supply system.
Leak test: If water is constantly escaping from the drain valve (5), the valve head is leaking. In such a
case, the gate valve (3) must be closed again, the compressed air fully released and the Orings in the valve head (2) checked or replaced.
With a tight-fitting alarm valve, the gate valve (3) must be securely closed with a lock and strap. The
safety device is not required in electrically monitored systems.
Note:
Care should be taken to ensure that the alarm channel is always atmospherically vented via
the drain valve (5). If the alarm channel is blocked, e.g. if the 3/2-way cock is in the closed
position for a longer period, it can trigger the alarm valve.
With sets with accelerator, close the ball valve (19) at the container and the vent valve (21) in the
feed pipe. Then switch on the accelerator by opening the ball valve (20) and lock the ball valve in

Check the charge time in the instructions on the accelerator. After any unauthorised departure from
the instructions, a maintenance check should be carried out on the accelerator (see Accelerator
Maintenance 4.2.4).

3.1.5 Compressed air supply

An automatic compressed air feed mechanism should normally be installed to compensate for any loss
of pressure in the sprinkler pipework (e.g. a compressor unit with container and pressure reducer).
The air pressure in the sprinkler pipework must be adjusted to the water supply pressure.
The rough formula is:
p Air = 1/5 p Water+ 1.5 bar (safety addition)
With 10-bar water supply, this means:
p Air = 10/5 +1.5 = 2.0 bar + 1.5 bar = 3.5 bar
If the pressure in the sprinkler pipework is greater, the release period for the valve increases
accordingly.
If the air pressure is too low, there is the risk of accidental release.
3.1.6 Electrical monitoring system

Electrical monitoring of the following elements in the system is required for particular risks in order to
enhance the operational safety of the TAV set:
Open position for the gate valve (3)

Operating position for the 3/2-way cock (4)
Compressed air in the sprinkler pipework
Ball valve (20) in the accelerator feed pipe.
The above-mentioned monitoring devices are only intended to report a fault to a permanently staffed
office. The alarm pressure switch (12) is provided to alert the fire brigade.
3.1.7 TAV sets with SE2 accelerator (Figure 2)

With TAV sets with no accelerator, the pressure in the sprinkler pipework must be reduced to between
1/5 and 1/6 of the water supply pressure before the release point for the alarm valve is reached. With a
water supply pressure of 10 bar, therefore, the pressure in the sprinkler pipework must be reduced to
between 2.0 bar and 1.6 bar, before the alarm valve opens. The accelerator (17) is activated if the
pressure falls by approximately 0.2 bar within roughly 20 seconds (this corresponds approximately to a
reduction in pressure in a 4 m3 sprinkler pipework from a 3/8 sprinkler with a K factor 57) and channels
the compressed air out of the sprinkler pipework into the alarm channel of the dry pipe alarm valve. The
valve head (2) in the dry pipe alarm valve is opened by this surge of compressed air and water streams
into the sprinkler pipework. The throttle (14) in the alarm gong line ensures that the compressed air is
under sufficient pressure when it is channelled into the alarm channel of the dry pipe alarm valve. The
accelerator is generally a stipulated requirement by the VdS-CEA 4001 guideline for fire hazard classes
HHP and HHS, and for pipeworks with a volume exceeding 1.5m up to a minimum of 4.0 m3.
3.1.8 TAV sets with a SEVMX quick vent valve

If a large sprinkler pipework is already installed ( 4m) and only a short delay is required before the
water discharges from the sprinklers, the use of an quick vent valve is often an effective solution. The
Minimax quick vent valve responds when there is only a slight fall in pressure and can greatly reduce
the period between the triggering of the sprinkler system and the discharge of the water. The venting
capacity is approximately 50m of released compressed air per minute at a 2-bar operating pressure in
the sprinkler pipework. The installation of the quick vent valve should ideally be at the end of the
sprinkler pipework near the test sprinkler. The design of the quick vent valve makes it unsuitable for use
in frost-hazard areas. If the installation should nevertheless be required in such areas, the valve can be
fitted with a protective cover with built-in heating.
Reference is made to Manual, item no. 84 1213 regarding planning, installation and commissioning of
the SEVMX quick vent valve.

3.1.10 Maintenance of TAV sets
Inform the offices responsible about the maintenance work!
Visual checks of the general condition of the TAV set and on the fittings for correct operating
position and for safety devices.
Check operating pressure levels on the pressure gauges.
Check zero setting of the pressure gauges by closing and opening the pressure gauge stop valve.
N.B.: Effect pressure release on the pressure gauge stop valve by opening the drain plugs.
Set off the TAV set by releasing the compressed air (functional control). The gate valve (3) needs to
be suitably throttled to avoid flooding the pipework completely.
Block the water and the compressed air supply and empty the sprinkler pipework completely.
Maintenance of the dry pipe alarm valve (1) in accordance with maintenance instructions in 4.1.4.
Maintenance of the accelerator (17) in accordance with maintenance instructions in 4.2.4
Check strainer (13) in the alarm gong line, and clean as required.
Recommissioning in accordance with 3.1.4 or relevant operating regulations.
Check that the charge time for the accelerator (17) corresponds to the plate information.
Check for leaks in the valve gasket on the drain valve (5).
Check the lock fittings (gate valve, ball valves, drainage valve) for leaks.
N.B.: Set 3/2-way cock (4) to Operating position.
Secure the operating position of the gate valve (3) with lock and strap. The safety device is not
required in systems with electrical monitoring.
In systems with electrical monitoring, the monitoring devices and their transmission channels must
also be checked.
In addition with fast release dry pipe alarm valve sets TMX-S
Check the function of the solenoid valve, e.g. by activating it via the detector system.
Maintenance of the solenoid valves (22) Figure 6 if required. On this subject, see the maintenance
instructions in 4.3.2.

3.2
TAV set type TMX-FM (Figure 3)
TAV sets with FM approval have a largely similar design to the VdS sets, so that most of the operating
modes described in Section 3 apply here too. The differences between the FM and the VdS designs are
as follows:
Under FM guidelines, the drainage (A) must be located below the valve flap. Accordingly, instead of
the normal gate valve, an intermediate flange (spool piece) is used with a drainage ball valve (A).
Following commissioning, even with a relatively well-drained pipework, there may be a back-flow of
water over a longer period, which will result in water accumulating in the dry pipe alarm valve. This
can lead to malfunctions, especially in sets with an accelerator. Therefore an additional drainage
option is added at the outflow connection to the dry pipe alarm valve (ball valve B with vent valve).
N.B.: When checking the dry pipe alarm valve for residual water, disconnect the accelerator by
opening ball valve (C) and closing ball valve (D)!
The accelerator with FM approval differs from the standard design in that it has a modified throttle
device to prevent water penetration. See also the functional description in Section 4.2.2
If shut-off fittings are used, only FM-approved tapered oval slide valves with externally rising spindle
or FM-approved shut-off gates are permissible.

3.3
Tail-end alarm valve set type TMX (Figure 4)
The tail-end alarm valve set is a TAV set without an alarm device, which is connected to a wet system
and therefore does not need its own water supply. The alarm signal is given via the upstream wet pipe
alarm valve set, so that there is no need for a separate alarm device in the set. The dry set can be fitted
with an electric alarm (pressure switch) to distinguish between the wet pipe alarm valve set and the tailend alarm valve sets.
In general, every standard TAV set type TMX can also be used as a tail-end alarm valve set. In this case
the alarm device does not have to be used (e.g. blocking the alarm gong line). The standard TAV set is
normally supplied for systems using a tail-end alarm valve set with accelerator, and the alarm gong line is
then connected to it.
N.B.: Atmospheric venting to the alarm channel through the drain valve (5) must be maintained.

Tail-end alarm valve set type MMX (Figure 5)
The tail-end valve set (DN 40) is intended for the protection of smaller areas with frost risk (volume
stream design Q = 412 l/min at 5 m/s). The alarm is activated in the same way as with the standard tailend alarm valve set via the series-connected wet pipe alarm valve set (NAV set). The water supply
pressure is max. 10 bar. Air pressure of 3.0 3.5 bar must be maintained in the dry pipework.
3.4.1 Operation
In the operating state, the diaphragm valve (1) is closed. The gasket to the water supply is in the form of
a valve head with a gasket, which is held in place on the valve seat by the diaphragm chamber
impinged on by the compressed air. The transfer ratio between diaphragm chamber and valve seat is
approx. 5:1; in other words, if the system is activated, the air pressure in the diaphragm chamber must
fall to roughly 1/5 of the water supply pressure. If the water supply, for example, is 10 bar, the air
pressure on the diaphragm chamber must drop to approximately 2 bar for the diaphragm valve (1) to
open.
The quick vent valve (3) will already open if the pressure in the sprinkler pipework falls below 2.3 bar
and this speeds up the activation of the diaphragm valve (1) through additional release of pressure. In
addition, the quick vent valve (3) remains in the open position after activation, preventing the diaphragm
valve (1) from closing because of a renewed build-up in pressure on the diaphragm chamber. Only
when the ball button is pulled and when pressure has built up to more than 2.3 bar in the sprinkler
pipework, the quick vent valve (3) remains locked in position, keeping the diaphragm valve (1) closed.
3.4.2 Operating state
The main locking valve (2) is open and must be secured with a lock and strap. The safety device is
not required in systems with electrical monitoring.
The pressure gauge (6) shows the current water supply pressure. It must be between the maximum
and minimum values shown.
The ball valve (10) must be closed; however, in systems with automatic compressed air feed, it
must be open.
The air pressure in the compressed air supply must not fall below the minimum values marked on
pressure gauges (7) and (8).
The quick vent valve (3) must be kept closed and be secured with a cover against unauthorised
activation.
There must be no water in the inspection glass (4).
3.4.3 Activation
The activation of one or more sprinklers produces a drop in pressure in the sprinkler pipework. If it falls
below 2.3 bar, the quick vent valve (3) opens, rapidly activating the diaphragm valve (1) through
additional pressure release on the diaphragm chamber, so that water floods into the sprinkler pipework.
The check valve (9) prevents the diaphragm valve (1) from closing because of the build-up in pressure
in the sprinkler pipework. The open quick vent valve (3) additionally prevents a build-up in the sprinkler
pipework through any leakage at the check valve (9), and any build-up in pressure from the compressed
air supply. The alarm is activated via the upstream wet pipe alarm valve set.
3.4.4 Restoring the operating state
Close the ball valve (2) in the water supply and, if necessary, the ball valve (10) in the compressed
air supply.
Open any drainage valves in the dry pipework and the ball valve (5) in the set (remove stopper on
the ball valve). There must be absolutely no water in the dry pipework.
The activated sprinklers must be replaced with new ones.
Manual
Page 21
Close the open drainage valves in the sprinkler pipework and the ball valve (5) on the set again and
secure them with stoppers.
Open ball valve (10) in the compressed air supply and at the same time pull the ball button on the
quick vent valve (3) out until the air pressure has built up to more than 2.3 bar and the ball button
stays in the locked position. Then increase the air pressure to between 3.0 and 3.5 bar.
Secure quick vent valve (3) with a protective cap to prevent unauthorised activation!
Close ball valve (10) in the compressed air supply.

N.B.: In systems with automatic compressed air feed, the ball valve (10) stays open.
Slowly open ball valve (2) in the water supply and secure with lock and strap. The safety device is
not required in systems with electrical monitoring.
Check inspection glass for water residue and, if necessary, remove water from the line at the ball
valve (5).
N.B.: Activation risk from drop in pressure in the pipework.

Check the diaphragm valve (1) is not leaking, and if it requires maintenance. See Maintenance
Instructions in Section 4.4.2.
Check the compressed air supply, including throttle (11); if necessary, clean or replace.
N.B.: When removing the throttle (11) the compressed air supply at the ball valve (10) must be
blocked off.
Recommissioning in accordance with Section 3.4.4 or the relevant Operating Regulations. The
quick vent valve (3) and the check valve (9) must be checked to ensure they are working properly
and, where necessary, replaced.
Secure the operating position of the main locking valve with lock and strap. The safety device is not
required in systems with electrical monitoring.
In systems with electrical monitoring, the monitor devices and their transmission channels must also
be checked.

Fast release dry pipe alarm valve set (TS set) type TMX/S (Figure 6)
The fast release dry pipe alarm valve set is basically a TAV set fitted with an accelerator. A solenoid
valve controlled by a detector system has been installed in addition to the accelerator.
If a fire occurs, the solenoid valve is opened by the sophisticated detection system and the compressed
air is channelled from the sprinkler pipework into the alarm channel of the dry pipe alarm valve. The dry
pipe alarm valve opens and water floods into the sprinkler pipework, which is still filled with compressed
air. If one or more of the sprinklers is activated, water is supplied to the sprinklers by a direct route
relatively quickly, without any need to release all of the compressed air in the dry pipework.
If the detector system or solenoid fails, the TS set functions like a standard TAV set with accelerator.
Since the TS set is used in high fire risk situations, electrical monitoring is essential.

Operation of key components
4.1
Dry pipe alarm valve (Figure 7)
4.1.1 Operating conditions

In the operating state, the entire valve head is locked in the valve seat, as shown in Figure 7. A gasket
which moves freely to adjust itself to the valve seat seals the sprinkler pipework filled with compressed
air. An O-ring installed radially to the system in the valve seat seals off the water supply. The space
between these two seals is atmospherically connected with the alarm gong line of the TAV set via the
alarm channel. The locking mechanism is activated if there is an increase in pressure in the sprinkler
pipework, with the valve head being pressed down and a lock holding the valve head in position. (For
further details, see functional description on locking mechanism in Section 4.1.2).
The lock of the valve heads in the valve seat can only be released when the pressure in the sprinkler
pipework has dropped to less than 1/5 of the water supply pressure.
air pressure : water supply = 1 : 5 to 1 : 6.5
This means that with water supply at 10 bar, the compressed air above the valve heads must drop to
less than 2 bar before the dry pipe alarm valve will open. When the valve heads are forced open, not
only is the extinguishing water released, but the alarm channel is also activated to supply a hydraulic
alarm gong and a pressure switch for the electric alarm signal. Following activation, the valve head is
held in the open position by a spring-loaded safety catch at the inspection port cover, so that the valve
head cannot automatically settle as a result of the build-up in the stream of water in the sprinkler
pipework.

b) Locked valve head
Locking area
a) Functional sequence of the valve head locking

The compressed air from the sprinkler pipework acts on the valve head (3) via the valve head
sealing (4).
The valve head (3) is pushed downwards so that the guide ring (8) moves into place with the O-ring
(9) in radial position in the valve seat (13).
While making this downward motion, the thrust ring (5) pushes the spring washer (6) apart.
The spring washer (6) moves into position on the nut of the valve seat (13) and is held in position by
the thrust ring (5).
In this state, the water supply below the valve head can now be released. The water supply pressure
acts on the ring surface of the guide ring (8) and on the surface of the guide bolts (11). The pressure
exerted on the ring surface of the guide ring (8) is diverted by the spring ring (6) to the valve seat (13)
and has therefore no influence on the activating sequence. The only activating force is the pressure on
the relatively small area of the guide bolt (11).
Manual
Page 27
b) Functional sequence when valve head is unlocked

The activating sequence between the sprinkler pipework and water supply is in the following
relationship:
Locking force (valve head area x p compressed air) to activating force (piston area x p Water)
As already mentioned in Section 4.1.1, the air pressure in the sprinkler pipework must fall to below 1/5
of the water supply pressure before the valve head unlocks and opens (except with TAV sets with
accelerator). The precise sequence is as follows:
Air pressure above the valve head drops to 1/5 of the water supply pressure.
The water supply pressure pushes up the guide bolt (11) with the thrust ring (5) firmly attached.
The spring washer (6) is pushed off by the thrust ring (5) and automatically slides inwards through
the bezel in the valve seat (13).
The valve head is then unlocked.
Through the upward movement of the valve head, the gasket of the O-ring (7) is removed, admitting the
water pressure into the atmospheric alarm channel and assisting the unlocking mechanism. Once
unlocking is complete, the valve head is opened at high speed by the surge of water pressure.
4.1.3 Commissioning
The procedure for commissioning or restoring the operating state is as follows:
Risk of accident! The valve must only be opened when it is not under pressure and has been
fully emptied!
Unscrew inspection port.
Check the safety catch at the inspection port to ensure it moves smoothly and, if necessary, clean it.
Clean valve interior and valve head.

N.B.: It is generally recommended to remove the valve head, to check the gasket (4) and all the
O-rings for dirt or damage and to replace parts as required. The O-rings and sliding surfaces,
including the spring washer (6), must be lubricated.
Install valve head (lubricate bed) and set loosely on the valve seat. Care should be taken that the
gasket rests snugly on the valve seat. If necessary, the gasket should be rotated or exchanged.
N.B.: The valve head cannot be locked by being pressed down. Instead, it locks automatically
when the sprinkler pipework fills with compressed air.
Rescrew inspection port.

N.B.: The safety catch on the inspection port must be above the valve head!
Set the 3/2-way cock in the alarm gong line to "TEST" position.
Fill the sprinkler pipework with at least 3.5 bar of compressed air.
Set 3/2-way cock to "Operating".
Open the gate valve in the water supply. The set is then in operating state.
Check the operating state and the system pressure levels as described in the operating instructions.
N.B.: The air pressure in the sprinkler pipework must be adjusted to the water supply pressure
(see also compressed air supply in Section 3.1.5)
Page 28
Manual
4.1.4 Maintenance
a) Removing the valve head from the TAV
Risk of accident! The valve must only be opened when it is not under pressure and has been
fully emptied!
Remove inspection port.

Remove the screw plugs (A) on the valve head bed.
Pull out the bearing bolt (C) sideways.
Remove the complete valve head.
b) Disassembling the valve head

The figure below shows the assembly requirements for the different parts.
The steps for dismantling are as follows:
Loosen the stop buffer (1) and unscrew several turns.
Set the valve head (3) on the points marked with an arrow.
Loosen locking mechanism from valve head (3) by tapping gently with a hammer on the stop buffer (1).
N.B.: The valve head (3) with the gasket (4) sits tightly (suction effect) on the thrust ring (5). The
valve head can also be loosened by pushing a screwdriver between the valve head (3) and
the gasket (4).
Fully unscrew the stop buffer (1).
Unscrew the threaded pin (12) using a SW2 Allen key.
Unscrew the guide bolt (11).
Clean the separate parts.
Check the gasket, O-rings and spring washer (6) for wear, and replace parts if necessary.
It is recommended to replace all gaskets (TAV-TMX gasket set).

Assembly is in reverse order. All of the O-rings except O-ring (9) must be lubricated.
Set O-ring (10) in the guide bolt (11).
Place O-ring (9) in the groove of the guide ring (8).
N.B.: Take care not to bend the O-ring when slipping it on. After attaching it to the groove provided on
the guide ring (8), the O-ring should be lubricated only on the outside.
Set the guide ring (8) on the guide bolt (11).
Place O-ring (7) in the groove of the guide ring (8), pulling the O-ring over the guide bolt (11).
Lay spring washer (6) on the guide ring (8).
N.B.: The inside bezel of the spring washer must be facing upwards!
If an old spring washer is used, the play to the centre tappets must be checked. If there is more
than 2 mm play, the spring washer (6) must be replaced. The spring washer (6) can also be bent
back manually.
Screw the thrust ring (5) onto the pre-assembled guide bolt (11).
N.B.: The O-ring (7) should not be allowed to slip off the guide bolt (11) and become pinched. The centre
tappets on the guide ring (8) must lock onto the grooves provided on the thrust ring (5).
If the guide bolt (11) is screwed flush with the thrust ring (5), the internal M4 thread allows the
threaded pin (12) to be screwed on.
Attach gasket (4) and valve head (3) and hand screw with max. 20 Nm the stop buffer (1), including
O-ring (2).
Check the locking assembly by pressing on the guide ring (8) and unlock it again by slipping the
spring washer (6) from the thrust ring (5).
Risk of accident! When checking the locking assembly, take care not to catch your fingers!
The valve head is now fully assembled and can be installed in the dry pipe alarm valve.
d) Replacing the valve seat

The valve seat is screwed into the housing and can only be unscrewed using a special tool. The static
seal with O- rings is designed for the entire life of the alarm valve.
N.B.: There is no provision for replacement of the valve seat!
e) Further assembly information
Except for the seal area at the inspection port, all metal, sliding and sealing surfaces and the valve
head bedding should be lubricated. A waterproof, silicon-free lubricant should be used.
It can be obtained in OD giving the following order details:

4.1.5 Causes of faults in TMX dry pipe alarm valve
Fault
Causes
The compressed air does not lock the Disruption in compressed air supply, e.g. pressure reducer is
valve head in the dry pipe alarm valve
malfunctioning
Water residue in valve seat, so that the valve head cannot be
locked. Make sure the valve seat is ventilated (set 3/2-way
cock to Test)
Spring washer (6) has been fitted the wrong way round or is
bent
Wrong valve head (3). Note the marking TMX on the valve
head! Valve heads marked VMX are only meant for preaction dry pipe alarm valves.
Compressed air escapes during
commissioning via the drain valve
The valve head is not resting on the valve seat, but on the
safety catch
The space between the gasket (4) and valve seat is too
great. Use a new gasket or, if need be, turn around the bent
gasket!
If the build-up in pressure in the sprinkler pipework is very
slow, and even if there is very little space between the gasket
(4) and valve seat (13), compressed air may still escape. In
this case, first turn the 3/2-way cock to OFF until the
pressure in the pipework has adjusted to approx. 0.5 bar.
Then turn the 3/2-way cock to OPERATING again. The
resulting pressure surge will usually push the gasket into
place on the valve seat (13) and lock the valve head.
Constant flow or drip of water from the

drain valve

4.2.1 Operating conditions for accelerator SE2

When the sprinkler system has been activated, e.g. by opening the sprinklers in the event of a fire, the
pressure in the sprinkler pipework and in the upper accelerator chamber (1) falls. Since the throttle (4)
only allows a very slow change in pressure, there is still greater pressure in the control vessel (2) in
comparison with the accelerator chamber (1). The diaphragm (6) is raised even with a pressure
difference of 0.2 bar, the release bolt (5) is pushed upwards and the valve head (3) is forced open. The
compressed air from the sprinkler pipework floods into the alarm channel of the dry pipe alarm valve via
the SE outlet. The atmospheric alarm channel in the dry pipe alarm valve is the area between the end of
the valve head for the water supply and the end of the valve head for the sprinkler pipework filled with
compressed air. After the accelerator has been activated, compressed air is directed to this differential
area, so that the greater forces are below the valve head and the dry pipe alarm valve is opened.
4.2.2 FM design
The throttle (4) or (4a) is the only difference between the FM accelerator and the standard design.
Under FM regulations, no water is allowed to enter here when the set is activated. Accordingly, the
throttle device was fitted with a float ball, which prevents water from entering. This design is relatively
Page 32
Manual
expensive compared to the standard model and costs more for maintenance. The standard throttle is
therefore installed for normal VdS purposes.
4.2.3 Commissioning
The SE2 accelerator is a component in the dry pipe alarm valve set. It is connected at the SE inlet with
the sprinkler pipework and at the SE outlet with the alarm channel of the dry pipe alarm valve. When
the sprinkler pipework is filled with compressed air, the accelerator is activated by the opening of the
ball valve (11). In its operating state, the compressed air from the sprinkler pipework keeps the valve
head (3) closed. A balance is achieved via the throttle (4) or (4a) after roughly 10 minutes between the
pressure in the accelerator chamber (1) and the control vessel (2). The values shown on pressure
gauge (7) and on the pressure gauge for the sprinkler pipework must be the same.
N.B.: With each start-up, the charge time from 1 to 2 bar in the control vessel (2) must be checked
against the pressure in the sprinkler pipework, in accordance with the test instructions on the
accelerator name plate.
4.2.4 Maintenance
The smooth functioning of the accelerator is largely dependent on the interaction between the control
vessel (2) and the throttle (4) or (4a). The accelerator is functioning properly if the pressure in the
control vessel builds up in the prescribed time (charge time). When testing the charge time, the test
instructions (label on accelerator) with the specified data should be followed.
After the dry pipe alarm valve has been activated, it is important to drain the pipework carefully.
Residual water in the valve unit at the height of the accelerator inlet leads to malfunction. If necessary,
check and drain by carefully opening the drainage valve in the dry pipe alarm valve or the vent valve
(12) in the SE inlet line.
N.B.: The control vessel (2) must first be vented by opening the ball valve (8)!
Risk of activating the dry pipe alarm valve! Next, recheck the SE2 charge time!
4.2.5. Causes of faults in the SE2 accelerator

Fault
Causes
The accelerator charge time is too

short

head gasket
The pressure display on the pressure

gauge (7) is not the same as on the
pressure gauge on the dry pipework
One, or both, pressure gauges is/are faulty

The ball valve (11) to the sprinkler pipework is closed
The ball valve (8) is open or leaking
The diaphragm is leaking

The throttle (4) or (4a) is missing
Throttle disk or O-rings in the throttle (4) or (4a) are faulty or
missing
There is water in the control vessel (2)

Solenoid valve 2/2-way
The solenoid valve for the electrical activation of the fast release dry pipe alarm valve set is a 2/2-way
valve, with an operating voltage of 24V-DC, actuated by a detection system. In its operating state, the
solenoid valve is not actuated, i.e. in its neutral state it is closed (NC = normally closed) and thus acts
as a seal on the dry pipework. On actuation, the solenoid valve opens and the compressed air streams
into the alarm channel of the dry pipe alarm valve.
4.3.1 Operation
The solenoid valve is not actuated in operating state, i.e. it is closed in neutral state. In this position, the
top side of the diaphragm (3) is acted upon with the pressure medium via the structural bore 0.8 mm
in the throttle (4). Because of the difference in area (total area above compared to smaller ring area
below) the diaphragm seals the valve seat securely. When the solenoid valve is activated by the coil
(10) being actuated, the magnet anchor (8) releases the discharge bore 1.8 mm, so that the upper
diaphragm chamber pressure is reduced. The diaphragm rises from the valve seat and the solenoid
valve switches to flow-through mode.

4.3.2 Maintenance
The controlling device in this solenoid valve is an anchor, which is acted upon by the pressure medium
and closes the discharge bore assisted by a pressure spring. The anchor chamber, therefore, is
constantly in contact with water, so that the risk of pollution is relatively high. It is therefore essential,
with regard to the annual maintenance periods, to include the anchor chamber as well as the diaphragm
chamber, in the maintenance operations.
The maintenance work should be carried out as follows:
Risk of accident! Maintenance work on the valve should only be carried out when it is not under
pressure and has been fully emptied!
Turn off power supply to solenoid (detection system)
Loosen mounting nut (11) (SW 14 spanner) and pull the coil from the tube body
Loosen tube body (7) (SW 22 wrench size) and unscrew from the cover (2). Clean tube body (7),
anchor (8) and pressure spring (9) and check if they are damaged or need to be replaced.
N.B.: Only replace tube body, anchor and pressure spring (7, 8, 9) as a set.
Screw in the complete tube body again and tighten by hand (metallic seal).
Unscrew cover (2) (SW 4 Allen key)
Remove diaphragm (3), clean it and check if it is damaged or needs to be replaced.
Clean throttle, sieve and O-ring (4, 5, 6) and check if they are damaged or need to be replaced.
N.B.: The sieve must be perfectly clean. If there are lime deposits, the sieve should be replaced
Reinsert the diaphragm and throttle with the O-ring in the valve housing and screw on the valve
cover.
N.B.: The correct position for the diaphragm and throttle is crucial for operation. If the throttle or O-ring
is missing, the solenoid valve will malfunction.
Reattach the coil and screw tight.
Reconnect the power supply to the solenoid valve.

Important note: Carry out a final check on the proper operation of the solenoid valve using the
detection system or a test detector.

In operating state, the compressed air in the diaphragm chamber keeps the valve head closed against
the force of the water pressure. When the pressure in the diaphragm chamber falls to roughly 1/6 of the
water supply pressure, the valve head opens, releasing the flow of extinguishing water. In operating
conditions, an adequate supply of compressed air to the diaphragm chamber must be ensured (with an
automatic compressed air supply and, if necessary, electronic monitoring).
4.4.2
Maintenance
Before any maintenance work, the ball valves for the water supply and automatic compressed air feed
must be closed on the inlet side and the complete sprinkler pipework vented. Further maintenance steps
are as follows:
Risk of accident! Maintenance work on the valve should only be carried out when it is not under
pressure and has been fully emptied!
Loosen and remove compressed air supply, including the pressure gauge at the screw fittings.
Loosen and unscrew the complete control section at point X - X.
Unscrew cover (12) on the diaphragm valve.
Clean diaphragm (1) and valve head (3) and check if they are damaged or need to be replaced.
Check the smooth movement of the valve head lead, and clean and lubricate as required.
Lubricate moving surfaces, O-rings and sealings.
Assemble control section and screw it into the valve housing again.
Reconnect the compressed air supply and the restart the tail-end valve set in accordance with the
operating instructions.
