FM-200 extinguishing system

FM-200 extinguishing system - advice, installation & maintenance

The chemical / synthetic extinguishing agent FM 200 is liquid and becomes gaseous when it exits the extinguishing nozzles. The gas causes the heat energy to be absorbed and thus interrupts the combustion process. It is therefore particularly recommended for the protection of valuable objects such as server rooms, computer centres, measuring and control rooms as well as irreplaceable paper documents and cultural assets (archives, museums).

In case of fire, all persons present are first warned by visual and acoustic alarms. The gas is then distributed evenly throughout the room. FM-200 is residue-free, FM-200 is stored in gas cylinders, requires little space and can be stored in the protected area. The gas is harmless to humans.

The components of an FM-200 extinguishing system are:

• Fire alarm system with extinguishing system control
• Gas cylinders with FM-200 extinguishing agent
• Release device
• Pipeline
• Extinguishing nozzles

The FM-200 extinguishing system complies with the following regulations: VdS 2381, DIN EN 15004, ISO 14520, CEA 4045 and NFPA 2001. Compared to inert gas extinguishing systems, FM-200 requires considerably less extinguishing agent, which means that shorter flooding times can also be implemented.
