Fire Detection & Protection System
FM200 Fire Suppression is a suitable agent for normally occupied spaces. FM200 fire suppression systems are commonly used in :-
DATA Centres
Comms Rooms.
Telecommunication Facilities
UPS Rooms
Medical Facilities
What is FM200 Fire Suppression
FM200 fire suppression is also known as HFC227ea. FM200 is a waterless fire protection system, it is discharged into the risk within 10 seconds and suppresses the fire immediately.
How safe is FM200
FM200 fire suppression is found as an active compound as a propellant in medical inhalers. This is goes without saying that FM200 gas is extremely safe for occupied spaces with the correct fire suppression design.
How does FM200 work
There is a common misconception that FM200 gas reduces oxygen this is not true! FM200 is a synthetic/chemical fire suppression gas and extinguishes a fire by removing the free radicals or heat elements from the fire triangle. (Oxygen, Heat and Fuel)
The typical concentration of an FM200 system is normally between 7.9% to 8.5%. This concentration is determined by the risk that is being protected and by the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers) and the ISO14520 standards for fire suppression systems.
What are the advantages of an FM200 fire suppression system
The main advantage of FM200 fire suppression, is the small amount of agent required to suppress a fire. This means fewer cylinders, therefore less wasted space for storage of FM200 cylinders.
FM200 systems reach extinguishing levels in 10 seconds or less, stopping ordinary combustible, electrical, and flammable liquid fires before they cause significant damage. FM200 extinguishes the fire quickly, which means less damage, lower repair costs. Like any other fire suppression system, FM200 systems are designed with an extra margin of safety for people. Refilling FM200 is simple and cost effective, therefore, it also means less downtime and disruption to your business.
FM200 is classed as a clean agent which means that it is safe to use within occupied spaces. The safety of FM200 fire suppression environments is proven in over a decade of real-world experience and validated by extensive scientific studies. FM200 systems take up less storage space than most other fire suppressants.
In addition to the fire protection benefits of using FM200, the environment will benefit as well. FM200 fire suppressant does not deplete stratospheric ozone, and has minimal impact on the environment relative to the impact a catastrophic fire would have. FM200 fire suppression is a solution that is already working in more than 100 thousand applications, in more than 70 nations around the world.

What is VESDA?
VESDA is simply a laser based smoke detector, which means it is a very good smoke detector! VESDA smoke detectors have been operating in specialist fire detection applications for over 20 years. VESDA is the most advanced aspirating smoke detection equipment on the market. VESDA smoke detectors hold more certifications than any other aspirating smoke detectors.
How does VESDA work?
A VESDA detector is much like a vacuum cleaner. It sucks air for the protected environment through the purpose built aspirating pipe and samples the quality of air passing through the VESDA laser chamber.
Where do we use VESDA smoke detectors?
The aspirating smoke detection market has change over recent years. VESDA smoke detection was traditionally used for specialist smoke detection environments.
VESDA smoke detection is now used more extensively in non specialist fire detection application and of course the traditional specialist market.
VESDA detectors are normally used where high smoke sensitivity is required.
VESDA detection works far more efficiently in area where there is high air flow, such as computer rooms, Telecoms etc!

EXTINGUISHING AGENT
3M™ Novec™ 1230 Fire Protection Fluid (herein referred to as “agent”) is a fluorinated ketone (Dodecafluoro-2-methylpentan-
3-one) compound of carbon, fluorine and oxygen (CF3CF2C(O)CF(CF3)2). It is colorless, electrically non-conductive and has a low odor. It suppresses fire primarily by physical mechanisms due to its relatively high heat capacity with minimal effect on the available oxygen. This allows people to see and breathe, permitting them to leave the fire area safely.
The agent fluid is acceptable for use in occupied spaces when used in accordance with the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) program rules.
Although the agent fluid is considered non-toxic to humans in concentrations necessary to extinguish most fires, certain
safety considerations should be observed when applying and handling the agent. The discharge of the agent fluid may create
a hazard to people from the decomposition products which result when the agent is exposed to fire or other hot surfaces.
Exposure to the agent is generally of less concern than is exposure to the decomposition products. Unnecessary exposure to
the agent or the decomposition products should be avoided
CLEANLINESS
The agent fluid is clean and leaves no residue, thereby eliminating costly after-fire clean-up and keeping expensive downtime to a minimum. Most materials such as steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass and other metals as well as plastics, rubber and electronic components are unaffected by exposure to the agent fluid.
APPROVALS
The agent fluid complies with the NFPA Standard 2001, Standard for Clean Agent Fire Extinguishing Systems, EPA SNAP Program, (Significant New Alternate Policy), Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. (UL) FM Approvals (FM).
