1 . Caution
Hyper-LP systemis not a flre fightingsystemfor entrre machinery spaces, but is a systemfor initial fire fighting or suppresston for particular equiprnent in machjnery spaces. The mainfire extinguishing system mustbe ready for use whena fire ts Deyond the control of thissystem. Ship's crews are required to be familiar wiihoperation of thefire extinguishjng systern for entire machjnery spaces as wellas thissystem.

2. Outlineof Hyper-Lp system

Thissystem mainly consists of a exclusive centrifugal pump, automatic control valves, mist nozzles and control panels. The Hyper-LP waterpumpdmwsfreshwaterfromthe hulltankand discharges through selected distribution valvesto the spraynozzles, whichspraymist partjctes for at least 20 minutes.

7. Routine checkand maintenance

A) Everyday 1. Makesuresufficient water is available in thefresh water tank. 2 l\4ake surepower is prcperry suppried to the operation paners and the starier of the Hyper-Lp pump. waier "Lamp 3. Press & Buzzer Test,button to makesureall theindicating lumps lighted andthe buzzer sound. 4. Makesurethe drain valve andthetestvalveareclosed. 5. Keeptheareaaround the Hyper_Lp waterpumpclear of anyobstructtons whjch Interfere withthe operation. 6. lf Hyper-LP WaterpumpStarter is equipped withfollowing switches, check them as follows. . Change-over SW: Check thatit js turned to 'REMOTE'. . CoilHeating SW: Turnjt on jf condensation ts expected. B) Every 6 months 1. Conduct functional testof thesystem as follows. a. Unplug power supply lineinside of thestarter panel for Hyper-Lp waterpump so thatit won,t accidentally startrunning. b. Remove restriction cover on ,,System Stad,,button. "System c.
