How do I install the FM-200 fire suppression system?
How do I install the FM-200 fire suppression system?
When it comes time to install your FM-200 system, you will need to:
- Test and clean all detectors.
- Verify shutdown and evacuation circuits.
- Verify cylinder pressures and weights.
- Check for changes in hazard integrity.
- Check input and output circuit supervision.
- Simulat system discharge and test releasing circuits.
How does FM200 fire suppression system work?
The FM-200 clean agent works by interrupting the fire on a molecular level, not by taking oxygen from the protected space. It rapidly extinguishes most commonly found fires through a combination of chemical and physical mechanisms.
What does FM in FM-200 stand for?
For large hazards, agent containers can be connected to a common manifold. Approvals and Standards for the FM-200 system include Factory Mutual (FM); Underwriters Laboratories, Inc.
How long does it take to install a fire suppression system?
Time to Install Fire Suppression System Installation typically takes around 4 hours for a pneumatic system and up to 16 hours for electrical systems. Times vary based on the complexity of the installation, components used, and type of system being installed.
What is the difference between novec and FM-200?
The two systems differ when it comes to impact on the environment. Both agents cause no ozone depletion. FM200 has a global warming potential of 3500 while Novec 1230 has a global warming potential of 1, making Novec more environmentally friendly.
What are the components of the FM-200 system?
Each system consists of the following components and their associated accessories: FM-200 Storage Components – Storage components consist of the cylinder assembly (s), which contains the FM-200 chemical agent, and the cylinder bracket (s), which holds the cylinder assembly securely in place.
Why choose FM-200™ fire suppression systems?
The ability to extinguish a fire this quickly equates to: FM-200™ fire suppression systems are the superior choice, particularly in applications where space is a premium. The FM-200™ agent is stored in cylinders as a liquid and pressurized with nitrogen, saving significant storage space.
Is the Ansul FM-200 a Class A fire suppression system?
The ANSUL FM-200 Clean Agent Fire Suppression System is approved and listed by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) for Class A, B and C fires. Safe for use in occupied areas at the design concentration, the system helps protect critical infrastructure and delivers effective asset protection.
