Fire suppression sequence of operations

After the fire suppression system is activated by a VESDA signal or a manual fire pull, a 30-second countdown begins before the fire suppression agent is released to the HP POD 40c G2 interior through the fire system piping.

VESDA initiation

Press the fire suppression abort button to interrupt the fire suppression release countdown for 30 seconds. The abort button can be pressed multiple times to interrupt fire suppression release agent countdown for an additional 30 seconds until the 30-second fire suppression release countdown has been exhausted.

Press and hold the abort button to stop the immediate activation of the fire suppression system until the button is released. When the button is released, the 30-second delay will begin. The remaining fire suppression release agent countdown will continue after the 30-second delay until the time is exhausted.

Manual initiation

The fire suppression abort button will not delay the release of the fire suppression agent if a manual fire pull was activated. All personnel should immediately evacuate.

Emergency egress

The HP POD 40c G2 includes the following features for life safety egress on all access doors:

Panic bar

Door strikes

o Standard hardware—Door strikes

o Optional hardware—Electric door strikes

Each personnel door includes a standard panic bar to ensure safe exit. The optional egress hardware included in the HP POD 40c G2 (including electric panic bars, electric strikes, and magnetic locks) are tied to the fire alarm to enable uninhibited egress in the event of an emergency.
