Fire suppression sequence of operations
After the fire suppression system is activated by a VESDA signal or a manual fire pull, a 30-second
countdown begins before the fire suppression agent is released to the HP POD 20c interior through the fire
system piping.
VESDA initiation
Press the fire suppression abort button to interrupt the fire suppression release countdown for 30 seconds. The
abort button can be pressed multiple times to interrupt fire suppression release agent countdown for an
additional 30 seconds until the 30-second fire suppression release countdown has been exhausted.
Press and hold the abort button to stop the immediate activation of the fire suppression system until the button
is released. When the button is released, the 30-second delay will begin. The remaining fire suppression
release agent countdown will continue after the 30-second delay until the time is exhausted.
Manual initiation
The fire suppression abort button will not delay the release of the fire suppression agent if a manual fire pull
was activated. All personnel should immediately evacuate.
