FM-200® – The Approved Option

Ozone depleting substances such
as Halon (phased out) and HCFC
(being phased out). These are being
replaced with options such as
FE 36™, which works on B & C fires
and FM-200®, which is effective
against A, B, C, F and electrically
started fires. Not only is FM-200® the
approved extinguishing agent, it’s
also the most effective one!
The Complete System:
The FM-200® flooding system is designed The System comprises various components
to conform to IES 15519, the National Fire that come together to create an unbeatable
Protection Association (NFPA) 2001 and suppression system.
ISO/PF 20885 standards.

Agent Tank
An essential component of the system, these
high-pressure tanks are available in 4 container
configurations, namely 22, 34, 55, 70, 80, 100,
125 and 150 litres. Depending upon the require-
ment, single or multiple containers are installed.
All containers are available with a range of
manifolds - creating a common outlet for the
extinguishing agent to escape from multiple
cylinders.

Valves and Actuation Line

The Ceasefire FM-200® system’s valves have
a maximum working pressure of 150 bar valve
seat Ø 42mm. Since it’s already integrated, no
additional pneumatic actuator is required.
Manual, pneumatic as well as electrical
activations are available. Each valve comes with
a pneumatic option and a master and slave.

Nozzles
The extinguishing agent is dispersed through
brass discharge nozzles. These nozzles are
designed by the Ceasefire Design Cell after
surveying the area. From the size of the nozzle
orifices, to the dispensing technique – single cut
or cross cut – the nozzles are created specially
for your requirements. The nozzles are available
in various sizes, from 20mm to 50mm.
Pipes and Fittings
High-quality pipes harness atomisation
technology. This pressurises the system,
making it a part of the detection mechanism as
well as ensuring the extinguishing agent is
discharged quickly to the nozzles through the
network of pipes.

Detection Devices
Depending upon the requirements of the area
being protected, the system integrates different
types of detectors, such as smoke detectors,
heat detectors, linear heat detectors and
aspirating detectors. In addition, an audible alarm
alerts personnel in the area to the danger.

The FM-200® Control Panel

Designed and manufactured to the highest
standards in a quality-controlled environment,
the FM-200® control panel offers outstanding
value and performance. With three detection
zones, the extinguishing agent’s release can
be activated from any combination of detection
zones. The panel contains a large LED display
to enable easy configuration and control.
The countdown timer is duplicated on up to
seven remote status units to provide local
indication of the FM-200® system’s status. With
all the electronics mounted on a single, easily
removable, steel plate, the panel is both robust
and easy to install.
