Sequence of operation
Automatic release
1. Actuation of a detector from one detection zone:
d) "OUTPUT 1" (1ST ALARM) activates.
e) "ALARM" contact activates.
2. Actuation of a detector from the other detection zone for crossed zones configuration):
ND
b) "OUTPUT 2" (2 ALARM) activates.
c) Pre-discharge delay starts (not exceeding 60 sec).
4. After pre-discharge delay is completed:
a) "DISCHARGING" lamp illuminates steady.
b) "OUTPUT 4" lamp flashes.
d) NOVEC 1230 electric actuator (C) activates.
g) Preaction solenoid valve (F1) activates.
h) Deluge valve (A1) opens.
Note: At any time, if the optional mechanical activator (J) is activated, the NOVEC 1230 will be released.
At any time, if the emergency release valve (B10) is activated, the preaction piping network will be filled with water.

Agent storage cylinder
The agent storage cylinder by SEVO Systems is a steel
pressure vessel manufactured, tested and stamped in
accordance with DOT 4BW500 or DOT 4BA500, TC
(Transport Canada).
The agent storage cylinder is designed to hold the clean
agent at a normal operating pressure of 500 psi (34.5 bar)
at 70°F (21.1°C). The agent storage cylinders are suitable
use at temperatures of 0°F (-17.8°C) to130°F (54.4°C).
A rupture disc is connected to the cylinder body to serve as
a pressure relief device to protect the cylinder against
excessive internal pressure. The disc rupture point is in the
range of 864 psi (59.5 bar) to 950 psi (65.5 bar) at 70°F
(21.1°C).
