INSTALLATIONS – GENERAL
           
Applications
Ideal for manufacturing logistics or power infrastructure.  No Fan integrity testing required.   No pipework, and space and weight saving.   Low pressure on activation – no pressure relief required.   Environmentally firendly.
FirePro’s total flooding condensed aerosol technology ensures fast, reliable and effective fire suppression.  Built in failsafe activation.
Compliance & Design Issues

The system will be designed to AS 4487 and AS1670.  The basis of the calculation will be on GROSS VOLUME of the risk. LEAKAGE AREA is identified on the design.
There are 2 types of design calculations available – selection will depend on the risk
▪ General – limited leakage from Area  
▪ Lithium – specific for this Risk type    
Components & System Schematic
 
Areas to Focus
Positioning of FirePro Units Cable Sigma XT Control Panel Signs & Local Control Stations Thermal Fuse Test Equipment
▪ Conventional Panel
  – Can be main Panel – AS7240.
  – or CIE where other panel is main.
  – If CIE solid door installed.

▪ Detection available as 2 or 8 zone.

▪ FirePro Circuits are fully monitored.
▪ Mimic Panel – Status of FP Units.

▪ Activation-ISOLATE switch on Panel

▪ Max 80 FirePro Units per Gas Card

▪ 2 types of Detection – smoke/heat
  – configure for Dual Knock activation.
  – dont mix types in a detector circuit.

▪ SHUTDOWN of systems required:
  – air conditioning.
  – power in Battery systems.

▪ Complies to AS 4487 and AS 1670

 ▪ Uses 485 Bus Communications.

▪ MAX of 7 Devices on serial comms.

▪ MAX of 3 Devices on Status Power.

▪ Cant use 24v AUX on Gas Module.

▪ Cant use T-connections on 485 bus.

▪ Each Device – separate address.

▪ More than 7 – mimic connections.
Allow for maintenance.
▪ Locate clear of mechanical-weather.
▪ Use of HD brackets.
▪ Minimum clearances for FP Units.
▪ Means of egress or rescue.		 Cable install is critical.
▪ Consider Cable path.
▪ Use screened cable for FP Units.
▪ Use conduit where exposed.		 ▪ Replaces Press.switch. System “Released”
▪ Mount to FP unit closest to Panel.
▪ Fuse is a normally CLOSED Circuit.
▪ Require setting change on Panel.		 ▪ Test Module connected first.
▪ Plug directly to panel.
▪ Isolates all downstream units.
▪ Runs on 9v Battery.
