Detectors sense tire in the protected area and electrically signal the Control Panel. The Control Panel then triggers a series of actions such as audible and visual alarms, shuts down ventilation, and, after a prescribed time delay period, energise the electric actuator on the inertec55 pilot cylinder valve. The pilot cylinder actuates the storage cylinders allowing inertec55 fire suppression agent to travel from the storage cylinder/s into the distribution piping network. inertec55 fire suppression agent discharges through strategically placed nozzles where it quickly floods the protected area and suppresses the fire.
