Page 14: About Cool Gas Generators
When a fire starts the temperature will rise which causes the cable to short circuit which triggers the gaseous fire suppression of the EXXFIRE® 750TW/1500TW/2250TW. This provides an exceptionally reliable means to detect a fire, which reduces false alarms, and avoids releasing the gas unnecessarily.

(to inhibit gas release when an operator is present). Configuration settings The EXXFIRE® 750TW/1500TW/2250TW series can be interconnected via a wiring protocol. This means that multiple systems can be used to protect one larger volume. The settings are described in chapter 5.
