Instructions for use and operation

Hansestrae 18, 27419 Sittensen Typ IFEX 3001/12 Fire Extinguisher Date: 30.11.12
A. Preparation
1. Take the Backpack (ready for operation) on shoulder and put the strap around
the shoulder, adjust the shoulder straps and close the buckle.
2. Take the IFEX Impulse Gun, and put the strap over the shoulder.
3. Adjust the shoulder strap.
4. Hold the gun upwards at an approximately 30o vertical angle.
5. Check whether the water valve is closed.
6. Connect the water hose to the Impulse Gun.
7. Connect the air pressure hose to the Impulse Gun. Check whether the
connections are in place.
8. Open the air pressure cylinder valve slowly. There will be 6 bar pressure on the
water container and the water hose, and 25 bar pressure on the gun.
Note: The pressure gauge on the pressure regulator only shows the
approximate filling pressure of the air cylinder.
9. Further hold the gun upwards at an 30 vertical angle. Open the water valve.
The gun is filled, when small amounts of water spray through the rubber
diaphragm of the gun. Close the water valve. Release the trigger lock at the gun
by turning it into fire (F)-position. The Impulse Gun is ready for use.

Please note:
The Impulse-technology achieves a very high velocity where water is shot from
the gun at a high speed. This leads to a short but powerful recoil of the gun. In
order to minimize this recoil it is advisory to move the gun forwards while
shooting and to bend your body forwards with your legs in a so-called walking
position. Always aim slightly below the aligned target. Pull the trigger evenly and
let go immediately after the shot. The air pressure will be refilled automatically
within 3 seconds. Open the water valve and repeat the extinguishing process as
before. The most effective shot range is between 1 and 10 meters.
The total shot range is 16 meters.
10. When well trained in using the gun and rapid shooting is required, simply let the
water valve open and shoot when the gun is filled. Use the filling time to
consider where to place the next shot. For the extinguishing of smaller fires the
gun can be filled with smaller amounts of water simply by opening the water
valve for shorter periods or through a faster shooting frequence.
1. Close the water valve at the gun, and empty the water chamber by carrying out
several shots without water.
3. Empty the gun by pulling the trigger repeatedly, until there is no remaining air in
the hoses and the gun.
6. Open the buckle of the Backpack carrying unit and take the Backpack from the
shoulder.
7. Release the air pressure from the extinguishing agent container by pushing the
red knob of the pressure relief valve unless there is no remaining air pressure in
the container.

9. Put the hoses across behind the carrying unit for storage.
Place the IFEX 3000 Impulse fire extinguishing equipment at its destined location.
Warning: Before testing of the IFEX 3000 Impulse fire extinguishing equipment:
1. Make sure that the air pressure valve of the pressure cylinder is closed.
2. Use the drain valve on top of the extinguishing agent container to release
remaining pressure.
3. Make sure there is no remaining pressure in the IFEX-Gun or hose. This is
done by triggering the gun repeatedly until the remaining air in the hoses and
gun is evacuated.
Caution! Use the gun always with shoulder strap according to the instruction
manual as there may be a recoil due to the remaining air in the gun!

supplied special tool.
2.6 Check the front handle for tightness, if necessary tighten with a 13 mm socket
wrench.
2.7 Check the water connection at the gun and the water coupling for damages and
cleanliness.
2.8 Check the water valve for external damages and operativeness of the valve.
The valve body should easily slide on the valve axle.

operativeness of the triggering mechanism.
2.10 Check the operativeness of the trigger lock.
2.11 Check the air pressure connection at the gun handle for damages and
cleanliness.
2.12 Pay attention for the pressure tests of gun, air cylinder and extinguishing agent
container within the time limits prescribed in your country! Note page 12, point
6.3 and 6.4.

4.11 After re-installation of all parts and re-connection of the water connection the
safety valve needs to be checked. Fill the container with water and air pressure.
The valve requires 6 bar +10% tolerance (6,6 bar). If the safety valve opens
before reaching 6,0 bar, or if it fails to open at 6,6 bar, the valve is to be
renewed.

Appendix A
Reduce the pressure in the container and empty the container completely. Disconnect all
fittings except the air pressure fitting and close the connections. Remove the safety valve
from the filling unit and close the connections. Fill the container with water through the filling
opening and close the filling unit. Fill the container with 7,8 bar through the air pressure
connector. Check the pressure by a test manometer. The pressure must be held for 10
minutes. Empty the container and remount the fittings after testing.
2. Testing the air pressure container of the Impulse Gun (by an expert):
The air pressure container needs to be checked by an expert as per directive 2009/104/EC:
Remove the bursting disc or safety valve and close the opening with a cylinder screw.
Connect the air pressure hose from the pressure source via a pressure regulator. The
pressure regulator must supply a secondary pressure of 60 bar to the air pressure coupling
of the gun. Put the Gun in a water basin, slowly open the valve at the pressure source,
observe the manometer and close the valve as soon as the pressure is 60 bar. This pressure
must be held for 30 seconds. After testing re-install the bursting disc or safety valve.
(TV-bursting test at 03.02.96, Pall=45 bar, V= 0,8L, PTest = 58,5bar),TV agreed rounded
PTest Wert = 60,0 bar)
(TV= German Technical inspection authority)
