What systems have you seen?

I own a complete and working Ansul Autopulse 2000 Halon system, minus the actual halon bottle of course :slight_smile: . All the parts, devices, and even the wiring are original, and I have photos I took of it before it was removed.

I saw a 1970s/1980s Ansul system that was connected to like 5000 sprinklers.

in a building I seen a Simplex 4004R
with a Vibratone 450D with a Federal VALS Halon Strobe on it
the agent Realase panel looked like this:

in a other building I seen a Pyrotronics Halon Realase panel it was disconnected sadly :frowning:
when i goes to the building for the seconde time(the first time i forgotten my camera) it was gone

4004R is a panel i want.

Also, can you use spell check? :roll:
Thanks

for the spell check i’m a not the best in spell and my web browser Cannot handle the spell checker
For the 4004R it isn’t very common and if you want to buy one PM Me and i will sent to you the link
cheers

Here’s a Fike SHP FM-200 release system in a vacant bank’s CCTV datacenter. The system was still powered on and charged, but the tanks hadn’t been inspected since 2011. The smoke detector in the middle of the room is a Hochiki model and trips the SHP, while the rest of the building had addressable Fire-Lite’s. One of the SHP’s relays appeared to trip a smoke control system.

This part of the building is soon to be gutted and turned into a call center. I had permission to take stuff, so I grabbed a NOS SpectrAlert that was sitting on the panel (seen on the table in the last photo) and some computer equipment.

Cool! Always nice to get free stuff! :smiley:

I guess for me it would be more like what haven’t I seen. I was inspecting a Verizon data center once and they had a mix of systems, from wet pipe, to pre-action, and even water mist and FM-200.

What is pre-action?

Its a type of sprinkler system. With sprinklers there are 4 main types of systems: wet, dry, pre-action, and deluge.

Wet: Just as it sounds, the pipes are filled with water and water begins flowing as soon as a head is activated.

Dry: The pipes are filled with compressed air. The air pressure keeps a valve closed and only allows water through when a head activates and the air pressure drops, opening the valve.

Pre-action: Similar to a dry system, only a secondary device has to activate in addition to a sprinkler head, such as a smoke or heat detector.

Deluge: All sprinkler heads are open, no fusible links or bulbs. Water is discharged through the system either manually or when some sort of detection is activated. All heads on system will discharge at once.

Thanks!! :smiley: So Deluge is like a CO2 or FM-200, just with water?

This is an older Pyrotronics System 3 (CP-30) halon discharge system connected to a Mirtone pull station and a Simplex 4051 horn. It is installed in a former Cold War bunker’s server room, but has probably been disconnected since this place was decommissioned in 1994. The graphic annunciator on the panel is for the room’s sub-floor smoke detectors.

COOL! :shock:
That is a system that would be cool! :wink:

And look at the pull :roll:

Did someone zip tie that pull station?! Wow, that’s really bad.

If it is not active… :roll:

If its not active then sure, it doesn’t matter. BUT- why would someone make sure it was closed if it was out of service? I’m thinking someone may have done that while it was still in use. It wouldn’t surprise me in the least…unfortunately. I went to perform a fire pump test once and some dummy used a wrench to close a butterfly valve…breaking it of course. So what did they do? They used zip-ties to make it appear as though it was still in place. Wasted my whole damn day. I woke up at 2:30 am and drove 50 miles for absolutely nothing because it had to be replaced.
