Here’s a place for us to share the the fire alarm Demonstration Systems we have built and explain how they operate. I’ll start this one off.

My system is divided across two boards: the right board, and the left board. The right board contains the SXL-EX and the typical fire alarm system, in addition to the DMP XR-500 Security Panel. The left board contains the Ansul AutoPulse 2000 Halon System, as well as the equipment monitoring modules (Radionics POPITs) for the DMP system in the enclosure at the bottom.
The SXL-EX operates just as a normal fire alarm system, monitoring the two pull stations, heat/smoke detector, and the Halon System.
The DMP XR-500 monitors the SXL-EX and Ansul 2000 for Alarm and Trouble conditions. In addition, it monitors a motion detector, as well as POPIT monitoring modules for the equipment it was connected to in its former location (Centravac chiller, test cell water level, pump pressure, etc.) The blank cover above the Halon pull station is the future location of a second keypad, I just need to get a back-plate for it. This was removed from a building as a partially complete system (It is complete itself, but the building had 4 independent systems tied together).
The Ansul AutoPulse 2000 Halon System is isolated to it’s own components, other than the monitoring connections. Like the DMP, this was also removed as a complete system from the same location and electrically configured as it was originally installed. I have the drafts and blueprints from the original installation to reference.
Hope you guys enjoyed, I’m looking forward to seeing the systems you have built!
