EPO modes

The EPO system has three operating modes:

Armed—The EPO system is armed and operational.

Test—The EPO system is in test mode and does not initiate during events that normally trigger an EPO.

Bypass—The EPO system is non-operational and does not initiate during events that normally trigger an EPO.

EPO accidental activation

To help prevent accidentally pressing the EPO button and activating the EPO system, each EPO button is covered with a clear Lexan cover.

Battery backup during an EPO event

The following components are equipped with a UPS to ensure that service is not interrupted during a loss of power to the HP POD 40c G2:

ECS system

VESDA air sampling smoke detection system

Optional fire suppression system

Emergency lighting in the HP POD 40c G2

Fire protection system

Each HP POD 40c G2 is equipped with a fire alarm panel that is integrated with the fire detection system and the optional fire suppression system.

The fire system is designed as a stand-alone system, but can also interface with customer site fire alarm systems. Customer site connections are the responsibility of the customer. Consult with HP for connection locations.

The fire protection system includes:

Manual fire pulls (on page 19)

Fire alarm indicators (on page 19)

VESDA air sampling smoke detection system (on page 19)
