Fire Suppression

All Co-Located server facilities at NetSupport feature full fire suppression. Zero ozone depleting FM200 gas suppression is employed to protect critical installations formerly protected by Halon 1301.

Critical to the functioning of the system is the fire detection and control network. Typically smoke detectors sense the presence of fire in the protected facility. The detection and control panel then sounds an alarm, shuts down air handlers and disconnects power from the protected equipment and releases agent into the protected area.

Using the Kidde Fire Detection system to control the release of agent, the control system uses both intelligent addressable analogue sensors and centralised decision making to virtually eliminate false alarms and unwanted agent releases. The detectors report on a real-time basis to the control unit where the microcontroller makes the ultimate alarm decision. The control panel is also modular, allowing us to expand the system as requirements change over time.
