    Automist AP09 & AP12 DIOM version 1.1 Release date 22 October 2024 1. Administration 1.1 Scope This DIOM is written to cover the design, installation, and maintenance of Automist, designed for the protection of one- and two-family dwellings, manufactured homes, and townhouses, as analogous to what NFPA 13D does for domestic sprinkler systems 13D sprinklers.

  • Page 6: Equivalency

    . Automist system Automist AP09 & Automist AP12 incorporate at least 1X smoke sensor (EVCA-PY- PL) 1X spray head (SH12) 1X Controller (CT03) 1X pump (AP09 or AP12) associated cables and piping.

  • Page 7: General Requirements

    The controller continually monitors the thermopile sensors by reading the temperature while parked, ensuring that all heads are ready to operate. When triggered by a Plumis wired sensor, all the linked spray heads will begin scanning. They start measuring the temperatures within the room using an infrared thermopile sensor.
  • Page 8 Automist AP09 & AP12 DIOM version 1.1 Release date 22 October 2024 Figure 1: Interpretation of how the IR sensor views the fire Once the temperature exceeds a threshold that head is deemed to have successfully located a fire. All heads which locate a fire during a scan are then compared to see which has the best view.
  • Page 9 Automist AP09 & AP12 DIOM version 1.1 Release date 22 October 2024 Some properties may require more than one Automist system to be installed in order to provide adequate suppression coverage. Where more than one system is installed in the property, the designer should avoid having spray heads in the same room connected to different Automist controllers.
