Fire alarm sequence of operations

If a fire alarm is activated by the VESDA system, the HP POD 40c G2 does the following:

1.Sends an alarm signal to the building fire and security dispatch if you have connected your facility to the fire box (on page 63)

2.Activates the fire strobes and horns, starting the 30-second evacuation alarm

3.Releases the suppression agent after a 30-second delay if the optional fire suppression system is installed

IMPORTANT: To interrupt the fire suppression delay for another 30 seconds, press one of the abort buttons located next to each personnel door.

If a fire alarm is activated by a manual fire pull, the HP POD 40c G2 does the following:

1.Sends an alarm signal to the building fire and security dispatch if you have connected your facility to the fire box (on page 63)

2.Activates the fire strobes and horns, starting the 30-second evacuation alarm

3.Releases the suppression agent after a 30-second delay if the optional fire suppression system is installed
