Alpex Carbon Dioxide Extinguishers provide an efficient Fire Extinguishing Medium and offer many benefits to customers.  CO2 is colourless, odourless  and heavier than air.  CO2 as a medium smothers flames and reduces the  temperature and oxygen content of air around the fire, thus ensuring extinction.  CO2 is non-conductive and it is particularly ffective against fires in energized  electrical plant and equipment as well as fires of Class “B” and Class “C”  CategoryCO2 is non-toxic, although normal venting procedures should be
 observed, leaves no contamination or corrosive residue, does not deteriorate or freeze in the cylinder.

 CO2 provides fast knockdown of industrial fires where dangerous chemical  and gases are involved.

 The Alpex range offers a choice of sizes from 2Kg. to 5Kg. in Steel  bodies, together with a choice of  Swivel Horn or Hose & Horn applicators.  The range truly offers the customers a model to suit their needs.

Operating instructions
Pull out the Safety Pin, grasp the Spray Horn and press the Handle / turn the Wheel to left, aiming at the inflaming base to discharge.

Pay attention to wind direction in putting out a fire.  It must be in the way of tail wind.

NOTES FOR ATTENTION 

Ambient temperature -100 to 67.50C. Check the extinguisher weight at least annually.  If the annual leakage exceeds 5% of the original weight, find out the cause and replenish CO2 to full capacity by the supplier.  The cylinder is to be subject to hydraulic pressure test by the supplier regularly without any leakage or distortion, and it can be continued to use after qualified checking only.
