@paul9511 The first alarm that sounds is the Sprinkler Alarm. That alarms occupants that the sprinkler system has been activated, or there is a opening in a valve head. The second alarm is the Fire Alarm.

This is a growing system for fire protection, but still is misunderstood by engineers and installers.A fitter friend of mined installed 2 large systems for Marioff and they could not answer questions regarding the proper installation. Too many conflicting answers. This is a whole new ballgame for fitters...different than anything before it. The AHJ's are completely out their league on this technology.

why are there two different alarms ?
-
@dcool96 Oh no, much more than that. It is more around 1700-2000 PSI.And the mist heads haves verrrry small (special) holes, to create mist.

@KJ4VGT heat gun... fire extinguishers in commercial operations are often triggered by heat sensors, not "smoke detectors" since other particulate matter in the air can set them off.

These systems use nitrogen to pressurize the water. how much nitrogen is released in the protected area and does it pose a suffocation hazard?
-
@paul9511, water mist is more effective in suppressing the fires.
