FM200

The FM-200 Fire Suppression System is an engineered system
utilizing a fixed nozzle agent distribution network. The system is
designed and installed in accordance with the National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 2001, “Clean Agent Fire
Extinguishing Systems.” When properly designed, the FM-200 system
will suppress surface burning fire in Class A, B, and C hazards.
80% of FM-200 fire fighting effectiveness is achieved through heat
absorption and 20% through direct chemical means (action of the
fluorine radical on the chain reaction of a flame). Complete
suppression using FM-200 has the following advantages:
• The low concentration of FM-200 required means less visual
obscurity and minimal risk to personnel.
• The small quantity of agent discharged minimizes overpressurization of the protected area.
• Maximum safety for personnel due to low toxicity.
• Most effective when used with automatic detection to introduce
FM-200 rapidly.
• The ability to prevent re-ignition as long as concentration levels are
maintained.
Typical areas that can be protected by a FM-200 system are:
Bank Vaults Libraries.
Rare Book Stores Electronic Data Processing.
Telephone Exchanges Studios.
Communication Centers Transformer and Switchrooms.
Control Rooms Test Laboratories.
Flammable Liquid Storage.
