sea fire extingusher advice/help

[jon and michie]

Hi - I have a 2005 single diesel 280da or 315 in europe.
One of the previous owners has replaced the extingusher in the engine bay with another type which isnt wired into the sea fire EIRS black box under the helm.
Can anyone tell me what sea fire extingusher size / type was installed ?
many thanks in advance
Jon

Does the replacement bottle have a pressure switch on it?
That's all it needs to tie in to the existing controls.
The switch has one wire that goes to the control and one that goes to ground, if the bottle loses pressure for any reason trips the controls. If it has no switch now it may have a port for one, they usually just screw onto the fill port.

Otherwise any bottle that supports a switch could be purchased to replace it.
They are sized for the volume of the engine space.
parts book shows FM200 bottle for 150 cubic foot
