The fire suppression system consists of a detection system with smoke detectors that trigger an alarm if two detectors are activated. This leads to a timer that discharges gas from cylinders if the fire is not put out within a minute. The extinguishing system includes cylinders of FM200 gas that ruptures via a solenoid valve and fills the area through piping and nozzles to extinguish the fire. Once the fire is out, the area simply needs ventilation for the FM200 gas to dissipate, allowing production to resume quickly after cleaning and checks.

2. The system consists of the following
2) Detection System: The Detectors detect smoke and give an alarm. If two
detector actuate (cross – zoning – This is done to prevent false alarm) then and
only then is the timer in the panel is actuated. This gives an audio/visual signal
indicating that all should leave the premises. After 1 min (settable), a signal is
given to the GAS bank (solenoid) to discharge.
3) Extinguishing System: This consists of a bank of FM200 cylinders , a solenoid
valve, piping and discharge nozzles. As soon as the solenoid receives a signal,
the explosive device ruptures the valve and releases the GAS. This pushes the
GAS into the pipe and out to the discharge nozzles. The entire area is flooded
with FM200 extinguishing the fire.
4) Clean up: After making sure the fire is extinguished, simply allow the area to be
ventilated naturally. The FM200 will become part of the atmosphere and
disappear leaving no residue. Check all wiring and damage and resume
production immediately.
