Integrated Supervision for Fire Suppression Systems
Customer Problem
In 2016, NFPA established a supervision requirement for gaseous fire suppression systems that requires an audible and visual alarm at the fire alarm control panel (FACP) whenever a releasing actuator is removed from the system’s discharge valve. This helps ensure that the actuator is correctly reinstalled after being removed for maintenance and testing, as only correct installation will clear the alarm. A need arose in the market to supply the necessary supervisory component for the releasing actuator.
The TLX Solution
TLX developed a family of Supervised Latching Actuators. Because the supervisory feature is integrated directly into the coil assembly, there is no need for an additional supervisory component. This family of actuators comes in three sizes to match the operating pressure of any system up to 300 bar and includes an option that is compatible with CO2 systems. These actuators feature rugged construction, ultrafast response, and are manually resettable after activation.
