FM-200 Systems

FM-200 suppression systems

Fuller Fire & Safety Equipment, Inc. specializes in designing, engineering, installing, and maintaining FM 200 systems for all businesses including manufacturing and industrial plants. The FM-200 system is a very popular choice in fire suppression because it provides a waterless form of fire suppression without leaving behind residue and particulates. This is ideal for areas with electronics such as telecommunication rooms, data storage, computer and control rooms, as well as areas with sensitive items that would be destroyed by water such as museums, art galleries, historical archives, pharmacies, switch gear rooms, battery storage rooms, and much more.

The primary mechanism of fire suppression using an FM-200 system is heat absorption, which is then followed by a secondary chemical reaction that puts the flames out quickly and effectively. The FM-200 system discharges in 10 seconds or less to ensure the least amount of damage to your high valued assets while still being a safe option in areas where people are present.

 

Benefits of FM 200 Systems

Water can cause considerable damage and ruin expensive or priceless items. FM200 systems are considered a better choice because:

  •  The fire suppression agent is environmentally friendly and safe for use with humans and animals.

  • It is a cleaner way to extinguish fires and the agent leaves no residue behind after it provides the desired results.

  • FM200 systems use an agent that is colorless.

  • The agent used in the system will not conduct electricity.

  • After a fire, the amount of downtime required is much less.

  • There is no damage to any areas or items in rooms where the agent is released.

  • Cleanup after a fire or false event is minimized.

Uses of FM 200 Systems

Many companies and facilities that store important items or paperwork can not use water based fire suppression agents because of the damage that this can cause.

FM200 systems and services are used by facilities that store historical archives and records:

  • Control rooms

  • Battery Storage rooms

  • Data Storage rooms

  • Switch gear rooms

  • Facilities with many electrical components or water sensitive systems

  • Museums

  • Historical structures and buildings

  • Medical facilities

  • Pharmaceutical facilities

  • Manufacturing facilities

  • Art galleries

  • Telecommunication companies

Novec 1230 systems

The Novec 1230 systems is another Clean Agent that is stored as a liquid, but is discharged as a gas, and has the lowest atmospheric lifetime of just 5 days. It was created as a halon replacement and hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) alternative and is considered to have the highest margin of safety for human occupants of all of the clean agents.

The Novec 1230 systems are also waterless, leaves no residue, and are electronically non-conductive. It can extinguish a fire long before a water-based system would normally discharge leaving your high valued items safe and protected.
