General Information  
Fireboy Automatic (CG series) and Manual/Automatic (MA) series Fire  
Extinguishing Systems are manufactured for a broad range of applications,  
including marine, industrial, and commercial uses. This booklet is intended to  
outline the proper installation of the system for marine applications; most  
applications are similar. If further technical advice is required, information is  
available by writing or calling Fireboy-Xintex.  
Fireboy FE-241 Systems are approved for use in unoccupied areas, and are not  
approved for use within the European Union.  
Fireboy FM Component Approved HFC-227ea Systems are approved for use in  
occupied areas and are approved for use within the European Union.  
MSDS Sheets are available at no charge from the manufacturer and online at  
The National Fire Protection Agency defines normally occupied areas as “one  
that is intended for occupancy.” (NFPA-2001:20049).  
WARNING:  
Fireboy systems are not, nor are they intended to be, explosion suppression  
devices. They do not lessen the need to inspect for fire hazards and to ventilate  
any area where flammable fumes may accumulate.

Marine Installation Instructions  
Before Installation  
1. Check the system for damage during shipment.  
2. Check the pressure gauge to be sure the gauge pointer lies within the  
green zone at 70°F (21°C). The correct weight is shown on the  
nameplate for the appropriate model.  
3. Select an interior location not directly subject to weather or seawater.  
4. Confirm the volume of the compartment to be protected in cubic feet or  
cubic meters by multiplying the width in feet, by the length in feet, by the  
depth at the keel in feet; make no deductions for installed equipment.  
5. Verify calculated volume with volume shown on name plate label and  
chart on opposite page.  
Selecting a Location  
1. Do not install a Fireboy system rated for less cubic volume than the  
volume of the compartment to be protected.  
2. Orientation:  
Mounting up to 90° from vertical is permissible  
Install on the forward or aft vertical bulkhead of the engine  
compartment as near the centerline of the vessel (keel) as possible.  
Install as high as possible  
Direct the actuator towards the opposite bulkhead or towards the  
engine(s)  
Avoid installing athwart ship (perpendicular to the keel) on sailboats  
Mounting Fireboy system  
1. Locate the lower bracket 1 ½” above the bottom of the cylinder and the  
upper bracket ½” above the Fireboy nameplate. If required the 3rd  
bracket needs to be centered between the upper and lower backets.  
2. Use appropriate size and length stainless steel bolts and lock washers  
and bolt to bulk head or overhead.  
7
 
Accommodating Diesel Engines  
1. Failure to install an Automatic Engine Shutdown in any  
compartment containing a diesel engine and a Fireboy system  
impedes the fire extinguisher and may prevent fire extinguishment.  
2. Automatic Engine Shutdown units are available through your Fireboy-  
Xintex distributor, dealer or retailer in three, five and eight circuit models.  
3. Follow the installation instructions included with the Automatic Engine  
Shutdown for proper installation.  
4. Technical Support for Automatic Engine Shutdowns is available by  
calling Fireboy-Xintex or visiting our website at www.fireboy-xintex.com.  
Installing Indicator Lamp  
Mounting Lamp  
1. U.S. Coast Guard regulations require an indicator lamp and escutcheon  
plate at each helm position from which the craft may be operated.  
2. Your Fireboy System is supplied with one (1) indicator lamp and  
escutcheon plate. Additional indicator lamps and escutcheon plates are  
available factory direct, or through an authorized dealer (see Additional  
Equipment).  
3. Select an appropriate location for the indicator lamp and escutcheon  
plate on or near the instrument panel at the helm and in full view of the  
operator.  
4. Drill a 5/16” hole.  
5. Remove the backing paper on the escutcheon panel.  
6. Feed both wires through 5/16” hole.  
7. Press escutcheon plate firmly press in place.  
8
 
WARNING:  
An electrical short may result in electrical burn, injury or fire  
Before attempting to wire the indicator lamp, turn off all electrical current  
to the ignition switch  
All Fireboy wiring must comply with the American Boat and Yacht  
Council Standard E9-9, titled Direct Current Electrical Systems for Boats,  
available from ABYC, 3069 Solomon’s Island Road, Edgewater, MD  
21037  
The indicator lamp supplied is for 12 VDC use only  
Wiring Instructions  
1. Review all wiring instructions below.  
2. Consult a qualified marine electrician if you have any doubts about your  
ability to safely and properly complete the wiring. Ignition systems and  
electrical systems vary from boat to boat, and the directions which follow,  
may not apply to your boat.  
3. Assemble the supplies you will need that are not included with your  
Fireboy System.  
The necessary length of insulated 16 gauge (minimum) stranded  
wire  
A one-half (.5) ampere in-line fuse and fuse holder or circuit  
breaker  
Properly sized insulated crimp-on wire connectors  
4. Connect one lead of the fuse to the “ignition” position of the starter  
switch.  
5. Connect the other lead of the fuse to the red (+) wire of the LED indicator  
lamp.  
6. Connect the black (-) wire of the indicator lamp to one of the pigtail wires  
on the Fireboy System (as shown below).  
7. Do not reverse red and black wire, system will not function.  
8. Connect the remaining wire from the Fireboy system to ground.  
Engine compartments not equipped with a powered ventilation system require no  
further wiring.  
9
 
If the engine compartment is equipped with a powered ventilation system, U.S.  
Coast Guard Rule 162.029 requires that the ground connection of the ventilation  
system be connected to the Fireboy system. Failure to connect a powered  
ventilation system in the manner described below impedes fire  
extinguisher and may prevent fire extinguishment.  
Powered Ventilation Systems (Blowers)  
1. Determine the maximum current draw of the powered ventilation  
system.  
2. For current draw not exceeding 5 amps either:  
Connect the negative (-) wire of the ventilation blower to the pressure  
switch at the same point as the indicator lamp, or  
Connect the negative (-) wire of the ventilation blower to the number  
1 terminal of a Fireboy Automatic Engine Shutdown system if  
available (recommended)  
3. For current draw exceeding 5 amps connect the negative (-) wire of the  
powered ventilation system to the number (1) terminal of a Fireboy  
Automatic Engine Shutdown system.  
NOTE:  
The Escutcheon plate LED is connected to the pressure switch at the same point  
that auxiliary devices can be connected. Care must be taken when wiring other  
devices to the pressure switch to ensure the presence of the LED does not affect  
the operation of the device. Contact Fireboy-Xintex technical support regarding  
any installation questions.  
Use of indicator lamp  
The Fireboy System indicator lamp is designed to announce to the  
helmsman the state of the fire extinguisher when the ignition key is in the  
ON position.  
A GLOWING green light indicates the Fireboy system is CHARGED.  
A NON GLOWING light indicates the Fireboy system is DISCHARGED.  
Cable Installation  
WARNING:  
1. All Fireboy MA Systems installations must use only genuine Fireboy  
cables and associated components that are engineered specifically for  
this application.  
2. Nothing else will provide the intended degree of safety and reliability  
inherent in these systems.  
3. Any substitution will void all laboratory and Coast Guard approvals and  
Fireboy-Xintex warranties, and may result in an inoperative system, and  
unsafe and hazardous conditions.  
4. Never install a manual release handle in the space to be protected.  
5. Never install a cable on a CG2 Series. For use on MA2 Series only.  
10  
 
NOTE:  
Never push the cable at the T-handle end. Cable may jam and become  
inoperable.  
Fixing a jammed cable:  
1. Turn the T-handle and threaded metal rod counter clockwise ½ turn until  
the jam releases.  
2. If necessary, use a pair of pliers to carefully twist the threaded metal rod  
until the jam releases.  
3. Pull the cable from the “S” hook until the cable returns to an operational  
position.  
4. Do not connect cable to cylinder at this time.  
Routing the cable:  
1. Locate the escutcheon plate (2 ½” x 4” with 13/32 hole) for the manual

12  
 
3. Push the cable end through the hole on the cylinder manifold far enough  
to allow the flexible strand to be bent.  
4. Place “S” hook through the hole in the MA lever.  
5. Gently pull cable sheath back into manifold, aligning the groove in sheath  
with slot in the manifold.  
6. Insert the wire retaining clip provided around the groove in the cable  
sheath through the slot in the manifold securing the cable.  
WARNING:  
With the “S” hook attached to the MA lever, and the wire retaining clip  
not properly installed, any pull on the cable exceeding 20lbs may actuate  
the fire extinguisher  
Never install, remove or service the cable when the fire extinguisher is  
not securely mounted in its brackets  
Always wear eye protection while servicing any component of your  
Fireboy fire extinguisher  
Operation of Fireboy Fire Extinguisher  
Automatic operation of CG2 and MA2 systems  
Actuation of a Fireboy fire extinguisher occurs at 175°F (79°C) and is  
entirely dependent on the intensity of the fire  
Manual operation of MA2 Systems  
1. Do not wait for automatic actuation.  
2. Close all hatches leading to the protected compartment.  
3. Shutdown all forced ventilation devices, engines, generators and  
electrical systems.  
4. Remove the safety pin from the “FIRE” T-handle, and pull firmly.  
Signs of actuation  
13  
 
1. A loud sound similar to small arms fire.  
2. A loud sound of rushing air.  
3. An extinguished indicator lamp.  
4. A stalled engine.  
When actuation occurs  
1. Immediately shutdown all engines, powered ventilation, and electrical  
systems.  
2. Extinguish all smoking materials.  
3. Do not open the engine compartment.  
After actuation  
1. Before inspecting for damage, allow the agent to “soak” the  
compartment for at least 15 minutes and wait for hot metals or fuels to  
cool.  
2. Have approved portable extinguishers in hand and ready for use.  
3. Do not breathe fumes or vapors caused by the fire. They are hazardous  
and toxic.  
Maintaining Fireboy Fire Extinguisher  
1. Inspect the pressure gauge and the system daily.  
2. Compare actuator to illustration below to determine if the extinguisher is  
ready or discharged.  
3. Remove and weigh the complete unit (less brackets) on a certified scale  
every six (6) months and record on tag provided.  
4. Remove fire extinguisher from service immediately for repair or  
replacement if weight is below what is stated on unit’s nameplate (See  
Limited Warranty).  
Disconnection and Inspection of Manual Discharge Cable  
WARNING:  
Accidental discharge during handling, installation or inspection may cause  
serious injury or death. Wear eye protection when installing or servicing fire  
extinguisher or discharge cable.  
14  
 
Inspect manual discharge cable annually when inspecting the fire  
extinguisher.  
1. Do not remove the pull pin on the T-handle when disconnecting the  
manual discharge cable from the fire extinguisher manifold.  
2. Remove the wire retaining clip securing the cable located at the slot in  
the top of the manifold.  
3. Carefully push the cable from the backside of the manifold towards the  
actuator far enough to allow the flexible center strand to bend.  
4. Remove the “S” hook from the black manual actuator lever.  
5. Once the “S” hook is free of the lever, pull the cable back and away from  
the manifold.  
To reconnect the manual discharge cable to the cylinder, refer to “Connecting  
Cable to Cylinder” in this manual.  
Maintaining the Indicator Lamp Circuit  
Should the indicator lamp fail to come ON when the ignition key is ON  
1. Check the pressure gauge and actuator to see if the system has  
discharged.  
2. Check fuse.  
3. Using a continuity tester, check the electrical pressure switch on the  
system bottle itself:  
Pull the connectors off the spade terminals and place the probes of  
the continuity tester directly on the spade connectors  
A closed circuit indicates a functioning pressure switch  
4. Check the continuity of the remaining wiring circuit.  
5. The indicator lamp is an LED (light emitting diode) and cannot be tested  
with a continuity tester. A simple method to test LED’s is to remove the  
lamp and touch the Red wire to the + terminal and the black wire to the –  
terminal of an ordinary 9 volt battery.  
6. Should the continuity of the pressure switch indicate an open circuit, the  
system will have to be returned to the factory for either replacement or  
repair, depending upon the model involved.  
Additional Equipment  
Coast Guard Regulation 162.029 requires an indicator lamp be installed at each  
helm station from which the vessel may be operated. These additional  
escutcheon plates and indicator lamp kits are available factory direct or through  
your dealer. Outside the U.S.A. and Canada, see your dealer.  
An Automatic Discharge Alarm provides both an audible and visual alarm when  
the system discharges. Includes a 2” round instrument with a simple three (3)  
wire hookup.  
15  
 
Automatic Engine Shutdown/Override System is required for use with Fireboy  
systems in diesel powered craft.
