to an ANSUL®A-101 or LVS Fire Suppression System for
24-hour fire suppression. The operator of the equipment should
be provided with hands-on training by Authorized ANSUL
Distributors or the end user.
This handbook is a quick-reference guide for basic operation
of the CHECKFIRE 210 System. Two buttons on the display
module and manual actuators provide operator control.
