Smartscan Hydra when installed in residential and domestic dwellings. It primarily covers the systems use for life safety but might also provide property protection. Automist Smartscan Hydra has been independently, third party tested by Exova Warrington Fire to confirm that it meets the performance requirements of BS 8458 2015, as validated by BSI Verification Certificate VC 71258.

This DIOM does not intend to cover all design requirements and the potential changes to category and resilience of the system to cover all circumstances of use and risk. In case of doubt, Plumis and/or a chartered fire engineer should be consulted regarding the most suitable specification of the system and a fire safety strategy should be drawn up to support the proposals for the specific case.

Automist was tested against the fire performance in BS 8458 at Warrington fire. Warrington fire operates a quality system in accordance with BS EN ISO/IEC 17025:2017 as required by BS 8458:2015.

Page 24: Extent Of Automist Protection
• Automist Smartscan Hydra supports up to 6 sprayheads per pump and controller pair. The extent of Automist coverage should be provided in all parts of the dwelling, except for the following areas, which may be excluded unless required by a fire strategy or risk assessment:...
Page 25: Automist Design Guidelines
Automist Design Guidelines A single Automist Smartscan Hydra sprayhead has a 6m range in front and 4m range along the wall. The spray pattern acknowledges it is easier for us to address fires in front of the sprayhead as opposed to alongside it.
Page 26: Obstruction
1450mm from the finish floor level in all other rooms. The lower height in the kitchen is for better targeting of the significant fire risks; white goods and the hob/cooker in a room assuming a standard worktop height of 900mm high.

Page 27 The sprayhead is engraved with KEEP CLEAR and DO NOT COVER. Our installers are also trained to instruct the occupant how the system works and give simple guidelines of use. Plumis also leave a tag on the sprayhead upon completion of installation and encourage the user to visit our website so they can learn more about its operation and register online.

Page 45: Hoses, Piping And Fittings
Hydroscand (several locations in the UK) http://www.hydroscand.co.uk/ When installing flexible high-pressure hose behind plasterboard walls, Plumis recommends the hose is left free and unconstrained. This is because mounting the hose in a conduit or narrow groove within joists makes it more susceptible to perforation when subsequent building works are carried out. Flexible high- pressure hoses must be mounted as close to the ground as possible and within the wall.
Page 46: Stainless Steel Piping (Alternative To High Pressure Hose)
Hose or pipework supports should prevent the pipe from being dislodged. Supports should be secured in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Supports should not be glued, welded, or soldered to the pipe, hose, or fittings. Plumis Ltd Copyright © 2020. All Rights Reserved. Page 46 of 116...
Page 47: Detection Devices
Automist, although they can be integrated (see page 50). The use with other types of detection not sanctioned by Plumis could lead to death or injury. The system is designed to be triggered by compatible detectors/alarms only (see page 48).
Page 48: Compatible Detectors/Alarms
An Apollo heat detector should only be chosen over and above a multisensory detector if it is not possible to use a multisensor detector as the type of substance encounter causes frequent false alarms. Use of heat detectors for code compliance should be verified with Plumis as this type of alarm is slower to react than multisensory detectors.
Page 49: Plumis Wireless Smoke Heat Alarm (Dt01)
The Wireless Smoke Heat Alarm is a 3xAAA battery powered wireless alarm custom designed for use with an Automist Smartscan Hydra sprayhead only. The alarm has a built-in wireless transmitter, which communicates with the control panel via the sprayhead receivers. When smoke is detected, the alarm sounds a loud local alarm, and the built-in transmitter sends a signal to the control panel.

The automatic fire detection and alarm system should be in accordance with the recommendations of BS 5839-1:2017 or BS 5839-6:2019 as appropriate. The alarm signal should be configured and acted upon in accordance with the fire strategy for the building. Plumis Ltd Copyright © 2020. All Rights Reserved. Page 51 of 116...

Valves A WRAS approved isolation valves is required so that the Automist Smartscan Hydra system can be shut off from the water main. All such valves must be labelled with the included warranty void anti-tamper sticker.

Alternatively, a flame proof enclosure (G0001_M) can be purchased from Plumis for the purpose of protection, to minimise the effect of a fire to the pump when it is in the room it is trying to protect.
Page 54: Automatic Test And Monitoring Facilities
We also monitor that the thermopile sensors are reading temperatures and all heads are ready to operate.

Page 58: A) First Fix - Preparing The Site
The circuit supplying an Automist Smartscan Hydra unit must/should be protected by a C type breaker (C10’ or ‘C16’ for one unit (per pump), or ‘C20’ / ‘C32’ for two Automist Smartscan Hydra units). This must be on a C-type breaker, on an RCBO or an RCD protected circuit. The RCD/RCBO circuit must protect only the Automist Smartscan Hydra system and not be incorporated with any other circuit in the property.

Figure 69 : The Automist Controller STOP Button: Pressing the STOP button during a fire condition will stop the Automist Smartscan Hydra pump for 2 minutes. After activation, the system will alarm for 12 minutes. During this time if at the end of the first 2 minutes (during the last 10 minutes), an alarm triggers the system will reactivate.
Page 76 IMPORTANT! The controller lid must be screwed closed when performing this procedure. When Automist Smartscan Hydra is powered up for the first time the YELLOW LED will remain solid to indicate that the system has not been commissioned. Commissioning is a simple programmed procedure which allows Automist Smartscan Hydra to be tested.

50 mm deep within a wall • Automist Smartscan Hydra may be protected by an RCD or RCBO, but this protection must not be shared with other circuits. Therefore, Automist Smartscan Hydra must be connected to the non- protected side of the consumer unit.
Page 89: Head Placement
Head placement matches the layout drawing supplied with the commissioning form. • The coverage must be in line with Plumis Guidelines and the guidance in this DIOM. Any deviations must be justified by the Designer and agreed in written with the AHJ.

This mode was created to address the fire returning after the occupant believes it has been extinguished. When in this mode do not switch off the power or it will reset the 12-minute timer. If the alarm condition has ended, Automist Smartscan Hydra will return to an uncommissioned state and requires full recommissioning.
Page 94: Maintenance
After cleaning reinstall and if the detector/alarm does not restore the alarm to normal operation the alarm must be replaced. • Any remote monitoring arrangements should be tested to determine whether they are being transmitted and received correctly.

Page 98: Software Update Process
Take care not to touch the PCB. Do not over tighten the terminals. The latest version of the software is uploaded to the datalogger once a year by Plumis.

If it persists, contact Plumis R&D for advice. Note: The Hydra heads will lock and start flashing red x4. The heads will remain like this until we reset the controller in the next section.
Page 100: Cleaning
(see page 75). Cleaning The Automist Smartscan Hydra wall-mounted head must be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Do not attempt to clean with any other chemical cleaners or abrasives To clean your alarm, remove it from the mounting base. N.B. This will trigger a tamper error on the controller.
