Label Package
Include a Label Package (Part No. 440798) to identify specific
procedures of the system to equipment operators.
System Layout
Once components are selected and locations are determined,
complete a final drawing of the system layout. This drawing
should at a minimum include the following:
• Hazard area locations
• Component locations (include external power source)
• Routes for all connecting circuits with cable lengths identified.
Indicate areas where cable must pass-through bulkheads.
Use circuit bulkhead connectors to support and protect cables.
(Confirm acceptable pass-through locations with vehicle/equip-
ment manufacturer.) The drawing should be as precise as
possible to avoid installation problems later.
Compile a list of components to confirm system includes all
required parts (review Planning Checklist Template, page
4-11). The CHECKFIRE System is complete when all neces-
sary components combine to provide automatic fire detection
and activation of the fire suppression system for protected
areas.

General Instructions
If faults are indicated on the CHECKFIRE 210 Display
Module, test the connecting cables and end of circuit devices
(EMAs, EOL Device, branch terminators, PADs, etc.), for
proper connection to the system.
Before testing specific circuits, confirm completion of a
thorough visual inspection. Inspect all cables for damage
and replace if there are visible and/or mechanical signs of
damage (brittleness, deformation, discoloration, etc.). Test all
connections for loose or disassembled connectors.
Note: Remove power from system before replacing compo-
nents.
Note: Once all faults are cleared, confirm proper operation of
the entire CHECKFIRE 210 System by completing Section 6
– Operational Test and Place in Service.
If faults cannot be cleared, test each circuit and cable individ-
ually with the following procedures.
