Construction
The TYCO Series MJC Multiple Jet
Controls are manufactured from cast
iron, leaded gun metal, copper, brass,
nickle silver, and glass (Figures 3, 4, 5,
and 6).
IMPORTANT
Always refer to Technical Data
Sheet TFP700 for the INSTALLER
WARNING that provides cautions
with respect to handling and installation of sprinkler systems and components. Improper handling and installation can permanently damage
a sprinkler system or its components and cause the sprinkler to fail
to operate in a fire situation or cause
it to operate prematurely.

Design
Criteria
Ambient Temperature
For normally wet pipe systems, do not
install Series MJC Multiple Jet Controls
in areas that are subject to freezing.
Water Supply
Water should be free of particles and/
or site debris. Do not use sea or brackish water.
Piping Arrangements
A wet supply line is typically being
supplied from an alarm valve (Figure
1) and the dry supply line is typically
being supplied from either a dry pipe
valve or deluge valve (Figure 2). Waterflow alarms, system pressure gauges,
and flow test capability are therefore
provided by the alarm, dry pipe, or deluge valve.
Sequence of Operation
For a wet pipe system supply, water
is readily available for flow through
the TYCO Series MJC Multiple Jet
Controls; however, water is only allowed past the MJCs when the glass
bulb in the MJCs is actuated by heat
(or the thermoelectric actuator).
For a dry pipe system supply, operation of the glass bulb in the MJCs
when actuated by heat (or the thermoelectric actuator) releases air
pressure to permit operation of a dry
pipe valve, and then upon operation
of the dry pipe valve, water becomes
available to flow through the operated MJCs.
For a deluge system supply and upon
operation of the deluge system in response to a dedicated supplemental detection system, water becomes
available to the MJCs; however, water
is only permitted past the glass bulb
in the MJCs if the glass bulb has been
actuated by heat (or the thermoelectric actuator).
MJC Installation Position
The MJCs is installed in the upright position (heat sensitive bulb at top as illustrated in Figures 3, 4, 5, and 6) when
supplied from a dry pipe or deluge system, or can be installed in the pendent
position for a wet pipe system supply
(heat sensitive bulb at bottom). For example, in a wet pipe system supply, the
MJCs can be installed above a ceiling
where its heat sensitive bulb is exposed
below the ceiling line. In all cases, the
heat sensitive bulb must be in the protected area.
Since the MJCs utilize a thermal sensing element similar to that used for a
standard response, standard coverage,
frangible glass bulb type sprinkler, the
positioning rules for MJCs are the same
as standard sprinklers. The heat sensitive bulb to ceiling distance and the
area of thermal coverage is based on
standard coverage sprinklers as a function of the protected hazard and ceiling construction provided in the applicable standards recognized by the
Approval agency for standard coverage sprinklers.
Pressure Loss
Graph A provides the pressure loss versus flow for the MJC configured as a
single outlet, and Graph B provides the
pressure loss versus flow for the MJC
configured for double outlets.
Thermoelectric Actuation
When the Thermoelectric Actuation
is applied, the MJCs can be operated
automatically as part of a heat/smoke
detection system or manually. In either case, suitable control equipment
must be selected based on the actuator electrical ratings (Figure 7), the requirements of the customer, and the
codes governing installation of electric
detection systems. The actuator leads
are encased in a flexible conduit (Figure
7) for attachment to an electrical junction box.
When considering the power supply for
operating the Thermoelectric Actuators,
be aware that the Thermoelectric Actuator, after operation, may be an open
circuit, short circuit, or connected to
earth. Therefore, it is essential that the
power supply be suitably protected.
The recommended storage life (at ambient temperature) for the Thermoelectric Actuator according to the supplier
is 10 years (for METRON* Actuators,
refer to DR2005/C1). The working temperature for the Thermoelectric Actuator is -40C to 100C (for up to 20 hours
provided any temperature greater than
70C occurs immediately prior to firing).
Storage temperature is -30C to 70C.
After 10 years, the TYCO Series MJC
Multiple Jet Controls supplier should
be contacted regarding the suitability
of the unit for continued use.
Operation
The DN20 TYCO Series MJC Multiple Jet Controls has an inlet connected to either a single or double outlet
(Figure 3). For the DN25, DN40, and
DN50 MJCs, the central inlet is connected to the double outlets (Figures 4,
5, and 6). Using a cap instead of one of
the two unions on the DN25 and DN40

Installation
The TYCO Series MJC Multiple Jet
Controls must be installed per the system designers specifications, which
have been based on the information
provided in the Design Criteria section.
Exercise care to avoid damage to the
MJCs before, during, and after installation. Replace MJCs damaged by dropping, striking, wrench twist/slippage,
or the like. Also, replace any MJCs that
have a cracked bulb or that has lost liquid from its bulb. The DN25, DN40, and
DN50 MJCs are provided with a Notification Tag (Figure 8).
Do not install a TYCO Series MJC Multiple Jet Control if the bulb is cracked
or there is a loss of liquid from the bulb.
With the MJC held so that the bulb is
horizontal, a small air bubble should be
present. The diameter of the air bubble
is approximately 4,5 mm to 6,4 mm for
the 68C to 141C temperature ratings.
The MJCs utilize a frangible glass bulb
heat sensitive element. Handle with
care. The DN25, DN40, and DN50
MJCs are provided with a guard. Removal of the guard voids the manufacturers warranty.
