Typical Installation and Peripheral Devices
Typical Extinguishing Installation with XC10
The system is designed for a typical extinguishing installation involving a flooding area and a cylinder bank. Key elements include:
- Flooding Area: Contains fire detectors (in cross-zoning, 2 zones), an alarm horn (with programmable sound), and a door close device.
- Cylinder Bank: Houses the actuator unit (solenoid or pyrotechnical actuators), a pressure switch (with "released" contact), a weight device (with "loss of agent" contact), and a mechanical blocking device (with "open" and "closed" contacts).
- Adjacent Area: Can include an additional detector zone.
- Control Connections: The XC1001-A unit connects to detectors, alarm horns, door locks, ventilation systems (for shut down), and remote transmission systems.
Typical Peripheral Devices with XC1001-A
- Flooding Area Devices: Fire detectors (2 zones), alarm horn (variable sound, programmable), door close device.
- Cylinder Bank Devices: Actuator unit (solenoid/pyrotechnical), pressure switch ("released" contact), weight device ("loss of agent" contact), mechanical blocking device ("open"/"closed" contacts).
- Outside Flooding Area Devices: Manual release button(s), warning panel (on door), emergency hold/abort button (near entrance/door lock), fire control contacts (for ventilation shutdown and door closing), optional repeater, detector in adjacent area (1 zone), and facility to trigger remote transmission.
