General
Description
The TYCO Model TY720 Pendent
Sprinkler is an electronically controlled
sprinkler having a nominal K-factor of
16.8. The sprinkler assembly is shown
in Figure 1.
The TY720 sprinkler is designed as an
integral component of the EAS-1 Elec-
tronically Activated Sprinkler System
for Storage Applications, a perfor-
mance-based system addressing
highly challenging high pile storage fire
hazards. For more information about
the sprinkler system and the system
components, refer to technical data
sheet TFP360.

In place of a traditional heat-sensi-
tive glass bulb or solder element, the
TY720 sprinkler features an electronic
linear actuator and tensile link with
hook and strut arrangement holding a
button and seal against the waterway.
An AUTOPULSE Sprinkler Control Heat
Sensor paired with the TY720 sprinkler
is connected directly to the actuator
and is in continuous communication
with an AUTOPULSE EAS-1 Control
Unit.
The control unit software algorithm
analyzes information from heat sensors
in multiple locations and selects the
optimal response in a fire event. An
electrical pulse is then delivered from
an algorithm-selected heat sensor to
its companion TY720 sprinkler, oper-
ating the actuator and breaking the
tensile link, allowing waterflow from
the sprinkler.
NOTICE
The TY720 Sprinkler described herein
must be installed and maintained in
compliance with this document, as
well as with the applicable standards
of the National Fire Protection Associa-
tion (NFPA), in addition to the standards
of any authorities having jurisdiction.
Failure to do so may impair the perfor-
mance of these devices.
The owner is responsible for main-
taining their fire protection system
and devices in proper operating con-
dition. Contact the installing contrac-
tor or product manufacturer with any
questions.
