Automatic fire extinguishing systems
Warning! Improper applications of fire suppression agents can
lead to property damage, injury, or loss of life. Consult the
applicable NFPA documents and the authority having jurisdiction
(AHJ) for more information.
Automatic fire extinguishing systems automatically detect and
extinguish fires. They require no manual input because detectors
automatically activate releasing solenoids or sprinkler valves.
Table 1-2 provides a list of the fire suppression agents and the
applicable NFPA documents.
Warning! The XLS-REL is not listed for use with CO
2
or Halon
suppression systems.
Table 1-3 outlines the FMRC requirements for automatic fire
extinguishing systems.
