Mounted next to the SMS Smart EDT Controller is the Fire Control Panel – allowing the Operator to view the status of the Fire System at all times.

The system consists of a fire control panel, 2 infra red (IR) sensors, temperature sensors (optional), Manual Release buttons and carbon dioxide extinguishant stored in cylinders.

The system is designed in accordance with BS 5306, part 4 (and equivalent standards) to protect the EDT work chamber, Electric room, and the Dielectric Filter System.

From this unit the operator will see the complete status of the Fire Detection System, there are a number of high visibility LED’s which indicate Discharge Imminent Zone 1, Discharge Zone 1, Discharge Imminent Zone 2 and Discharge Zone 2.  A key switch is also on the panel, which will allow the operator to switch the system between modes. The modes are Automatic and Manual, Manual only and Disable. The system will, for normal operation, be in Automatic and Manual mode, however when the doors of the work chamber are open the Fire system automatically will go into Manual only mode. Also on the unit are two (2) Manual Release switches, one for zone 1 and the other for zone 2.
