AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing fire suppression systems lack a mechanism to automatically detect and report the removal of the actuator for the discharge valve, necessitating manual inspections that are time-consuming and non-compliant with regulatory standards.

Method used

An internally mounted supervisory switching mechanism, comprising a micro switch and a switch pin, which changes state upon the actuator's removal, providing an audible or visual signal to a remote control panel, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards and facilitating automated monitoring.

Benefits of technology

Ensures automatic detection and reporting of actuator removal, enhancing compliance with NFPA standards, reducing manual intervention, and minimizing system downtime.
