BCF
Bromo Chloro di fluoro methane | HALON 1211
49
It is a liquefied gas, it displaces the oxygen element in the fire ‘triangle’
BCF
50
Preflight Check of BCF
1. Correct stowage & quantity, check validity, 2. Pressure gauge needle is in the GREEN zone, and 3. Black safety catch secure and seal intact
51
Operations of BCF
1. Check Servicability. 2. Remove extinguisher from stowage bracket 3. Release the Black Safety Catch 4. Hold the unit upright 5. Aim the nozzle at the base. 6. Squeeze lever, discharge using a side-to-side sweeping motion.
52
Duration of full discharge of BCF
approximately 10 seconds.
53
Precautions of BCF
