1. Introduction
General Information
All FirePro Fire Extinguishing Aerosol Generators use the latest generation FPC solid compound. Upon activation,
the solid compound is transformed into a rapidly expanding, highly efficient gas, based on Potassium salts. It does
not deplete oxygen levels. The FirePro Aerosol Generators have a certified life of 15 years, with minimal
maintenance required.
Ozone Depletion Potential (O.D.P.) = 0
Atmospheric Life Time (A.L.T.) = 0
Global Warming Potential (G.W.P.) = 0
Non-corrosive & Non-toxic
Self Activation Temperature
FirePro Condensed Aerosols have a built-in fail-safe activation system ensures operation of the generators when
required, even if everything else fails.
When the temperature of the Aerosol units reaches 300°C the unit will activate
DO NOT Carry out any welding or grinding work in the vicinity of the aerosol units.
Handling and Storage - Condensed Aerosol Generators do not:
•Disassemble the unit
•Carry out any welding or grinding work in
the vicinity of the fire extinguishing
system components.
•Exert force or impact which creates
physical or mechanical damage to the
casing.
STORAGE and OPERATIONAL CONDITIONS
•Temperature: –54 and +54°C
•Humidity: maximum 98% RH
•Service life: 15 years (date of manufacture appears on each generator)

2. Isolation using the Control Panel
Isolate the Detection System –MANUAL Mode
The Mode Switch is the best option when working in the protected space. This switch is located on the control
panel and any installed Local control station(s). When pressed the system goes into MANUAL mode which means
that the suppression system will only operate if the MANUAL EXTINGUISHANT RELEASE is used.
All other alarm function will be operational, including any signals to other devices. This allows incidental work to be
carried out without affecting the level of protection.
Mode Switches
are located on the
panel facia, and
the Local Control
Station(s).
In Manual Mode the
display on the FIP
changes to “Manual
Mode” and the System
Inoperative operates.
Press the Yellow Mode Switch. This will the disable the
automatic activation of the system. The Manual Release
Switches will still work.
Mode must be returned to Automatic
Isolation of FirePro Fire Suppression System
•Unlock and open the display window for the
Sigma XT allowing for operation of the controls.
•Using the 003 key into the isolate switch and
turn until isolate LED is lit. The FirePro units
are now isolated from activation.
This will create a fault and
operate “System Inoperative”
signs.
Switch must be returned to Normal
Isolation of Shutdown outputs
•Place the 003 key in the “Normal-Isolate” key switch located on the Shutdown
Isolate Switch, which is in a separate enclosure adjacent to the FIP and turn
from “Normal” to “Isolate Shutdown”.
•This will create a fault and operate “System Inoperative” signs.
Switch must be returned to Normal

3. Isolation by Unplugging the FirePro Units
All FirePro Aerosol Generators are fitted with a Deutsch Plug. Unplugging the unit will
remove it from the System.
Ensure that all units are unplugged in the system as remaining units may be operational.
This will create a fault and operate “System Inoperative” signs.
