4 zones extinguishant control panel for gas extinguishing system fire suppression panel
1. Introduction
The automatic extinguisher control panel is designed in accordance with European
standards EN54-2 and EN54-4 Fire Detection and Fire Alarm systems - Control and
Indicating Equipment and EN12094-1 Fixed firefighting systems - Components for
gas extinguishing systems - Part 1: Requirements and test methods for electrical
automatic control and delay devices.
The control equipment is a combined fire alarm control panel and extinguishing
system and has four detection zones, any or all of which are capable of contributing
to the extinguishant release decision.
Control panels have an integral, mains powered battery charger and power supply
designed in accordance with the requirements of EN54-4.
