INTRODUCTION
Thank you for your purchase of a Stat-X aerosol fire
suppression system. This manual is designed to provide
you with a general understanding of the product, as well
as, general information on installation, operational, and
maintenance parameters. It is not a detailed design,
installation, operation, and maintenance manual. A detailed
manual may be obtained by contacting the manufacturer:
Fireaway Inc.

Minnetonka, MN 55345
U.S.A.
Stat-X systems are to be installed and periodically
inspected by trained personnel. No modifications are to be
made to the installed system without consulting a qualified
system designer. The system is made up of units tested
within limitations contained in the detailed design,
installation, operation, and maintenance manual. The
system designer must be consulted whenever changes are
planned for the system or the protected area. An authorized
installer or system designer must be consulted after the
system has discharged.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
General
Stat-X systems combine an environmentally safe fire
suppression agent, specially developed components, and
highly effective detection devices for rapid agent
application. The resulting timely suppression of fire reduces
property damage and products of combustion to the lowest
possible levels. These systems are electrically activated,
are extremely compact, and totally eliminate the expensive
pressure vessels, nozzles, and distribution piping
associated with other fire suppression systems. Stat-X
aerosol agent is extremely effective when compared to
2

alternative agents and generators are strategically placed

throughout the hazard area offering significant weight and
space savings over conventional systems. Stat-X systems
are designed for total flooding applications in accordance
with established design criteria. All installations must meet
the requirements of the local authority having jurisdiction.
Stat-X systems are used to suppress fires in specific
hazards or equipment located in enclosed areas and
confined spaces where an electrically non-conductive
agent is required and where low weight/space to
extinguishing capacity is a factor.
The fire-extinguishing agent is an ultra-fine aerosol, which
hangs in suspension for extended periods of time (up to
one hour) providing excellent protection against re-flash,
as well as, minimizing clean up. Stat-X systems are
suitable for use in unoccupied and normally
unoccupied areas. In areas where personnel may be
present the system must employ a pre-discharge
alarm, 30-second time delay, and provision for system
isolation and manual only activation whenever
personnel are in the protected area. They are intended to
protect the following typical applications:

Telecommunications Facilities
Flammable Liquid Storage Areas
Process Control Rooms
Storage Vaults
Marine Engine Rooms*
Turbine Enclosures
High Value Mobile Equipment*
Power Plants
High Value Industrial Equipment Areas
Data Processing Facilities

*Not part of the UL Listing under UL Subject 2775 but are

covered under other applicable listings (American Bureau of
Shipping, Marine and Coast Guard Agency, ECB, and others)

Owners Manual
Stat-X systems are not suitable for the following hazards;
or, where the following materials may be present:
Materials, which burn with deep-seated
characteristics (wood fiber, cotton, etc.)
Electrical equipment operating at over 40,000 V
Metal hydrides, pyrophoric substances, and
chemical substances that smolder and burn
without air
Metal powders (magnesium, titanium, etc.)
Environments rated hazardous (explosive
atmospheres).

Extinguishing Agent
The aerosol produced upon activation of a Stat-X system
suppresses fire by a combination of chemical and physical
mechanisms similar to the Halons without any negative
effect on the environment. Because of the aerosols ultrafine particle size ( 2 micron) there is a dramatic increase
in the surface area interaction between the agent and the
fire. Potassium based aerosol has been shown in numerous
tests and scientific studies to be an extremely effective
alternative when compared to other currently available
extinguishing agents.
Unlike gaseous agents the aerosol does not decompose in
the presence of fire nor does it extinguish by oxygen
deprivation. The aerosol is considered non-toxic to humans
when applied in normal design concentrations necessary to
extinguish most fires; however, certain safety restrictions
should be observed when applying and handling the
generators. Exposure to the aerosol should be limited and
unnecessary exposure to the particulate should be avoided.
Exposure to the aerosol is generally of less concern than is
exposure to the decomposition products of a fire.
Toxicity: Tests conducted by the Institute of Biophysics
(Department of Public Health and Medicine Russian
Federation) as well as others have shown that the aerosol
does not present a health hazard due to limited accidental
exposure at normal design concentrations. Exposures

under five minutes are normally considered safe. Gas byproducts are several times less than that allowable for
automobile airbag systems.
While the components of the aerosol are not considered
toxic at normal concentration levels, ingestion of the ultrafine particulate may cause short-term discomfort and
unnecessary exposure should be avoided. Tests have
shown no long-term negative effects from exposure to the
aerosol. The aerosol has a high obscuration factor when
discharged.
Stat-X is approved by the US EPA for use in unoccupied
and normally unoccupied areas (areas where personnel
may be present from time to time).
STAT-X SYSTEMS SHALL ONLY BE APPLIED IN AREAS
WHERE PERSONNEL MAY BE PRESENT IN CONJUNCTION
WITH A 30-SECOND TIME DELAY AND SYSTEM ISOLATE
SWITCH TO INSURE EGRESS OF PERSONNEL PRIOR TO
SYSTEM DISCHARGE.
Corrosivity: Extensive tests have shown that the aerosol is
non-corrosive and non-harmful to a wide variety of
materials including structural metals, plastics, electrical
components, sophisticated materials used in aviation, film,
and magnetic tape. In all cases it has been shown that
Stat-X has no deleterious effect on the operating capability
of equipment. Aerosol may cause minor surface
discoloration of some metal alloys if not cleaned promptly
but this is a non-progressive event with no effect on
functionality.
Cleanliness: The ultra-fine aerosol discharge remains in
suspension for an extended period of time and can be
easily vented by a fan or air handling system. Minor
amounts of aerosol, which may have settled on the floor or
other horizontal surfaces, can be easily vacuumed or wiped
clean with a water alcohol solution. Settled particulate is
minor and is much less than the particulate produced by
the decomposition products of the fire.

Other Safety Considerations: The aerosol discharged

into the hazard area upon activation of the generator is
relatively cool. However, the aerosol stream as it leaves
the generator is above 100C for a very short distance
from the outlet of the generator. Maximum temperatures
are realized only in the last seconds of discharge. Each
model has a required installation clearance distance
specified as its C-zone. Steps must be taken to insure
generator placement so that it complies with this
installation requirement. The generator housing is
approximately 90C immediately after discharge and care
should be taken if handling the post-discharge generator
prior to its cooling to ambient temperature.
Generators must never be installed to discharge
directly on walls or equipment being protected,
as this will cause agglomeration
Storage: Each Stat-X aerosol generator is sealed with
a non-permeable membrane and is unaffected by
fluctuations in temperature and humidity. Accelerated
aging tests have shown the generator's charge maintains
its viability for more than ten (10) years under conditions
ranging from 40C to +54C and cycled relative humidity
levels up to 95%.

INSTALLATION IN AREAS WHERE PERSONNEL MAY

BE PRESENT:
NOTE: IN AREAS WHERE PERSONNEL MAY BE PRESENT,
A 30-SECOND TIME DELAY SHALL BE INSTALLED TO
INSURE EGRESS TIME PRIOR TO SYSTEM DISCHARGE.
A SYSTEM ISOLATE SWITCH SHALL BE INSTALLED
OUTSIDE THE HAZARD AREA TO INSURE THAT
ACTIVATION OF THE SYSTEM IS MANUAL ONLY WHEN
PERSONNEL ARE PRESENT.
Mounting: Stat-X aerosol generators are listed for both
sidewall and center locations and may be mounted on
walls, beams, constructions, and columns as long as the
unit is securely bolted to the support structure and is
mounted in a position where its C-zone (clearance zone
where momentary peak temperature of the discharge will
not exceed 75C) will not impact on personnel and
equipment located within the protected area. Housing
Clearance is required spacing of generator from
combustibles and structural materials.

Significant Obstructions/Agent Distribution: In cases

where there is a large ratio of fixed equipment to total
volume, or where the protected equipment is located in
such a way as to present a barrier to the free flow and
distribution of aerosol throughout the hazard area, the use
of a larger number of smaller aerosol generators is
preferred. This will allow for strategic placement of the
aerosol generators and improved distribution
characteristics throughout the area.

(15 30 for sidewall mounting). In order to insure
maximum distribution of aerosol throughout the hazard
area, the maximum height of generator placement must be
limited as indicated above. Underfloor applications should
be mounted horizontally.
Flow: Placement of the aerosol generators to insure proper
aerosol flow and distribution is extremely important. Aerosol
generators must never be positioned to discharge
directly at each other! This will cause agglomeration of the
aerosol particulate, reducing the aerosol's extinguishing
effectiveness. For the same reason, aerosol generators
must be positioned to insure that the aerosol stream
does not impinge directly on walls or the sides of
equipment being protected.

Typical Placement

General. All Stat-X equipment must be installed to facilitate

proper operation, inspection, testing, and any other
maintenance as may be necessary. Equipment must not be
subject to mechanical, chemical, or other damage, which
could render the equipment inoperative. Equipment must
be installed in accordance with all applicable standards
and the contents of this section of the manual.

WARNING

Aerosol Generator Installation. The Stat-X aerosol

generators should normally be located within the protected
hazard area. The following installation instructions must be
followed in the exact sequence outlined below to prevent

the housing has been damaged in shipment. Check igniter
integrity with ohmmeter. Do not install if reading > 3 ohms.
3. Securely attach generator to the mounting bracket with
generator clamp taking care to insure the clamp is free of
the initiator mechanism and that all bolts are securely
tightened in place.
4. Position generator, via the bracket-mounting swivel, to
allow for an unimpeded discharge upon activation. Care
must be taken so that the generator does not directly
discharge at close range at the wall, ceiling, or vertical
surfaces of the equipment within the hazard area.
5. Taking care to insure that power is off, connect electrical
lines to the initiator fitting at the top of the generator.

WARNING
DE-ENERGIZE ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS PRIOR
TO GENERATOR INSTALLATION. BE CAREFUL TO INSURE
THAT NO BODY PART IS PLACED DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF
THE GENERATORS EXIT PORTS DURING INSTALLATION.

Multiple Generator System:

1. Position mounting brackets and securely fasten to wall,
ceiling, or other supporting structure in a location and
manner, which insures the generators will not be subjected
to accidental damage or movement.
2. Make sure mounting brackets are located in a manner to
insure a circular flow pattern and maximum mixing of
aerosol during discharge.
3. Remove generator from shipping container and inspect
integrity of the non-permeable membrane and generator.
Do not install if the membrane is ruptured in any way or if
the housing has been damaged in shipment. Check igniter
integrity with ohmmeter. Do not install if reading is outside
a range of 1.4 2.0 ohms.

4. Securely attach generators to the mounting brackets

with generator clamps taking care to insure the clamps are
free of the initiator mechanism and that all bolts are
securely tightened in place.
5. Position generators, via the bracket-mounting swivel, to
allow for unimpeded discharge upon activation. Care must
be taken so that the generator does not directly discharge
at close range on the wall, ceiling, or vertical surfaces of
the equipment within the hazard area. Generators must be
positioned to promote circular flow and mixing of aerosol
from multiple generators. Aerosol generators must never
be positioned to discharge directly at each other! This will
cause agglomeration of the aerosol particulate, reducing
the aerosol's extinguishing effectiveness.
6. Generators can be wired in series or parallel to a
releasing control panel. Activation current must be supplied
to each generator as follows:
Activation parameters of the initiator are:
Resistance: 1.4 2.0 Ohms
Minimum Parallel Circuit Firing Current: 0.5A for
0.050 Seconds.
Minimum Series Circuit Firing Current: 0.8A for
0.050 Seconds.
Specified Maximum Test Current: 0.025A.
Specified Maximum Supervisory Current: .005A.
7. Install releasing control panel, detection, and ancillary
devices according to the directions contained in the manual
supplied. Wiring is to be done to local code requirements.
8. Once the electrical components of the system have
been installed and checked out, insure that power is off
and then connect electrical lines to the initiator fitting at
the top of the generator.
Post Installation Checkout: After the Stat-X generators
have been installed and connected to the appropriate
detection and/or control system perform the following
inspection and tests.

Owners Manual
1. Verify that generators of the correct size are installed per
the installation drawings.
2. Verify that generator mounting brackets and clamps are
properly installed and that all fittings are tight.
3. Verify that all electrical connections have been made and
test for electrical continuity using an ohmmeter.
4. Verify that all generators are positioned properly. Check
for obstructions in the path of the aerosol discharge
stream. Generators must be installed such that they cannot
cause personnel injury upon activation. The aerosol
discharge stream must not impinge at close range on
walls, ceiling, or vertical surfaces of equipment.
5. Manual/electrical pull stations must be properly installed,
readily accessible, and clearly identified.
6. Verify time delay functionality and integrity.
7. All acceptance testing shall be in accordance with this
manual, any applicable standards, and the authority having
jurisdiction.

OPERATION
General. A solid charge of the aerosol composition is
contained within the sealed generator. Upon activation of
the initiator, the charge begins a controlled burn producing
an ultra-fine aerosol, which is ten times as effective as any
agent currently on the market. The aerosol passes through
an oxidation filter, where CO is converted to minor amounts
of CO2, and then through a cooling bed where the
temperature of the aerosol is rapidly reduced before it
escapes through the discharge ports of the generator at
low pressure. Generator placement within the hazard area
provides proper flow and distribution of the highly effective
aerosol within the protected area.

Operating Procedures
Electrical Automatic Operation: Electrical automatic
operation occurs upon activation of the detection circuit,

initiating a voltage source from the fire alarm panel to the

generators. In areas where personnel may be present,
a 30-second time delay shall be installed to insure
egress time prior to system discharge. In occupied
and normally unoccupied areas, a system isolate
switch shall be installed outside the hazard area to
insure that activation of the system is manual only
when personnel are present. Personnel must evacuate
the hazard area promptly upon hearing the pre-discharge
alarm. Insure no one enters the hazard area after discharge
and call the fire department promptly.
Remote Electrical Manual Operation: Manual electrical
operation is performed by manual release from a releasing
device located outside the protected enclosure. Operate as
follows:
1. Upon fire notification, leave the hazard area quickly
2. Proceed to the appropriate remote manual/electrical pull
station for the hazard.
3. Insure that all personnel have left the protected enclosure.
4. Operate manual pull station.
5. Allow no one to enter the hazard area. Call the fire
department promptly.
System Isolate Switch: Unless prohibited by the local
authority having jurisdiction, the automatic operation of the
system shall be prevented by means of a system isolate
switch (lockout/abort located outside the protected area)
when personnel are present in the hazard area. The
operation of the system shall be manual only when
personnel are present. While the system isolate switch is
active the automatic activation of the system is inhibited
but the fire detection and alarm system shall continue to
function. The system shall return to full automatic control
when the switch is reactivated.

NOTE
THE ABOVE INSTRUCTIONS MUST BE POSTED ON
DISPLAY IN THE PROTECTED AREA.
7

Post Fire Operation: After discharge of a Stat-X fire

suppression system, qualified fire suppression system
maintenance personnel must perform post fire
maintenance and system installation procedures outlined
in this manual. Observe all warnings, especially those
pertaining to the length of elapsed time before entering
the hazard area.

5. Clean any minor amounts of residue, which have not

been removed during ventilation, by thoroughly vacuuming,
blowing, brushing, or washing away (with a water alcohol
mixture) as appropriate. Check to make sure that there is
no agglomeration due to discharge too close to equipment,
walls etc. If any agglomeration exists it must be wiped or
washed clean.

WARNING

6. Important! Any residue which is not cleaned up following

discharge can absorb moisture. A change in room
temperature during a fire event or discharge can affect
humidity and it is important to reduce the enclosure
humidity as soon as possible following discharge.

DO NOT ENTER A HAZARD AREA WITH AN OPEN

FLAME OR LIGHTED CIGARETTE. THE POSSIBLE
PRESENCE OF FLAMMABLE VAPORS MAY CAUSE
RE-IGNITION OR EXPLOSION.

WARNING
ENSURE FIRE IS COMPLETELY EXTINGUISHED
BEFORE VENTILATING AREA. BEFORE PERMITTING
ANYONE TO ENTER THE HAZARD AREA, VENTILATE
AREA THOROUGHLY OR USE SELF-CONTAINED
BREATHING APPARATUS.
Post Fire Maintenance: The following procedures
must be followed in the exact sequence to maintain and
re-commission a Stat-X fire suppression system:
1. After discharge, allow a minimum holding time of ten
(10) minutes
2. Always be sure to have backup portable extinguishers
at hand for use in the unlikely event of re-ignition.
3. Vent the area thoroughly by operating the ventilation
system, by fan extraction, or by opening doors and
windows. To avoid unwanted inhalation of fire by-products
and aerosol, a protective breathing apparatus or mask
should be worn if it is necessary to enter prior to complete
ventilation of the hazard volume.
4. Inspect the area to insure the fire is completely
extinguished and that there are no localized hot spots
or other sources of re-ignition present.
8

7. Remove spent generators, being sure to wear gloves or

other hand protection. The generators will remain quite
warm to the touch for a time after actuation.
8. Dispose of spent generators according to applicable
federal, state, and local regulations.
9. Contact your Stat-X distributor immediately for
replacement generators. Replacement and commissioning
should only be undertaken by trained personnel.

NOTE
WARNING
BEFORE PERFORMING POST FIRE MAINTENANCE
PROCEDURES REFER TO THE MATERIAL SAFETY
