Protective equipment:

Safety footwear
The system is activated automatically by fire alarm systems installed in the protected enclosure.
Other options to activate the system manually vary with the design of the system.
•
Electric manual release at the extinguishing zone
•
Manual activation at the "master" extinguishing agent container or the pilot cylinder
After activation
1. If one or several fire alarm systems (depending on the system design), the fire detection sys-
tem or a manual release are activated, the alarm will be transmitted to the fire suppression detec-
tion system.
2. A buzzer will sound on the fire suppression detection system.
3. All connected, central ventilation and air conditioning units as well as any other devices, for
example the power supply, will be switched off. Fireproof doors and windows equipped with auto-
matic locking mechanisms will be locked.
4. The alarm installations will be activated.
5. The set pre-discharge timer will start counting down.
6. When the pre-discharge timer has elapsed, the valves of the extinguishing agent containers
will open and the extinguishing agent will flow through the pipeline system to the discharge noz-
zles within the set flooding time.
7. At the extinguishing nozzles, the extinguishing agent flows out and is emitted evenly in the
extinguishing zone.
8. The hold time of the extinguishing agent, during which its effective concentration for sup-
pressing fires is retained, will start counting down.
If the system is activated by pneumatic/manual triggering devices or manual triggering devices, the
activation will be immediate without any visual or acoustic alarm equipment.
Pre-discharge timer
The pre-discharge timer is the time between the release of the main alarm and the beginning of
the fire extinguishing process. It is usually set to 30-45 s.
