Automist Smartscan Hydra Operation
When triggered by an Apollo multi-sensor wireless detector or a wired detector, all the linked spray heads
will begin scanning. They start measuring the temperatures within the room using an infrared (IR thermopile)
sensor. The scan is looking for an exceptionally high temperature reading, or a differential increase between
scans. Once the temperature exceeds a threshold that head is deemed to have successfully located a fire. All
heads which locate a fire during a scan are then compared to see which has the best view.
The selected spray head will lock onto the selected location, and activate the high pressure pump, driving
domestic water through the unique nozzle unit, quickly directing a dense fog into the location of the fire.
The high momentum vertical spray orientation with a horizontal trajectory is designed so even shielded fires
are saturated with a turbulent flow of mist, suppressing the fire.
Automist Smartscan Hydra can be stopped manually by pressing a button on the controller’s front panel.
Water mist has a different principle of firefighting to sprinklers which suppress fires by wetting surfaces and
directly cooling the flames with large water drops, helped by gravity. Water mist uses fine droplets that evaporate
at the base of the fire to extract heat (cool) the fire and displaces oxygen from the fire zone, resulting in fire
control, suppression or extinguishment. Thus, water mist works best when placed closer to the ground avoiding
ineffective evaporation in the hot layer in the ceiling and the upward flow of hot combustion products. Automist
leverages this phenomenon by placing the spray head halfway up the wall (around light switch height): between
the hot layer and furniture. This allows increased fire suppression performance with the same amount of water.
Automist is a member of the International Water Mist Association’s (IWMA) “Archimedes Club” for the products
which utilize the optimum deployment of water mist technology.

HOW TO SPECIFY SMARTSCAN

Automist Smartscan Hydra®DIOM Manual - version 1.10.0 US
Plumis Ltd Copyright © 2018. All Rights Reserved. Page 10 of 79
SMARTSCAN
®
Use and Specification of Automist Smartscan Hydra
Automist Smartscan Hydra is intended to be used as an alternative to domestic/residential fire sprinklers or water
mist system as it has been shown to have equivalent fire performance. Where guidance or fire engineering
principles indicate that suppression should be deployed in a particular part or parts of a property, Automist
Smartscan Hydra should be installed to protect exactly the same areas, whether the purpose is to compensate for
means of egress problems or to extend the available time for firefighters to arrive. Installation and can only be
carried out by trained and Authorized Automist Installers.
Room Compatibility
Summary
A single Automist Smartscan Hydra spray head kit can protect an area within a 19.7 ft (6m) radius from the spray
head location. The spray head should therefore have approximate line of sight of any possible fire hazards within
this range. The spray head must be positioned at least:
•4.9 ft (1.5m) away from any kitchen stove/range
•9.8 ft (3m) away from any log burners or small fireplaces
Visibility extends radially from each mist head and ends wherever there is an obstruction. The default radius is 90
degrees as shown below, to mitigate the potential of obstructions either side of the spray head. Annual
commissioning includes a verification that the system is not being obstructed inadvertently. Customers are made
aware of the need not to block the view of the spray head through a warning, engraved on the face plate.
Figure 2: A spray head with a default 90 degree line of sight spray pattern
Note: this is not a complete layout –additional spray heads would be required to complete the scheme.
If an obstruction is more than 3.9 ft (1.2m) high, it should be regarded as blocking the line of sight from any spray
head positioned within 9.8 ft (3m). Obstructions higher than 4.9 ft (1.5m) and wider than 0.9 ft (0.3m) should be
regarded as blocking the line of sight at any distance. This does not relate to a homeowner deciding to disable
the suppression system; full obstruction of the spray head or the creation of de facto room partitions with
bookcases are akin to wilfully removing fire doors or removing smoke detectors and are beyond the scope of this
recommendation.

Nib is a protrusion into the living space.
The overall objective of a layout plan is to ensure the coverage pattern covers all the square footage within the
property. The allowable shadow area (unprotected space) is:
•11.84 ft2(1.1m2) per room
•30.14 ft2(2.8m2) per dwelling unit (property)
Automist Smartscan Hydra supports up to 6 spray heads per pump and controller pair, and a maximum of 8
alarms per pump and controller pair. If in doubt it is always advisable to add another head to your scheme.
IMPORTANT: Do not install Automist Smartscan Hydra outside Plumis guidelines without first discussing with
engineers at Plumis Inc. Installing Automist Smartscan Hydra outside these guidelines without properly
documenting and agreeing such variations could make you responsible for deaths or injuries.

Preferred Positions
Example: At Front of Built-in Cupboard
Where a spray head is in line with the front of a built-in cupboard, access to the cupboard prevents obstruction.
Figure 3: In line with front of built-in cupboard. The distance from the corner to the spray
head is greater than 1.6 ft (0.5m)
Example: Adjacent to an Opening
A spray head placed next to an opening ensures that unknown obstructions will not be placed obstructing the
spray pattern.
Figure 4: Preferred Position for spray head near openings.
The head is assumed unobstructed between the kitchen units and the right-hand end of the sliding doors.

Example: Close to a Wall
Figure 5 shows a spray head less than 4.9 ft (1.5m) from a wall, and greater than 1.6 ft (0.5m). In such cases the
area between the head and the wall can be assumed unobstructed.
Figure 5: Spray head close to a wall. Any object to the (viewer’s) left of the spray head
cannot obstruct other objects due to the limited space between the spray head and the wall.
Example: Over Worktop
Provided that the worktop and cupboard heights are suitable, the need to access a kitchen worktop guarantees
its freedom from unplanned obstructions.

Installation requirements
•Before installing, ensure that the following have been provided at the installation site:
•Sufficient space to install the pump in accordance with these installation instructions. The pump is 14.37
inches (365 mm) (height) by 9.45 inches (240 mm) (depth) by 7.13 inches (181 mm) (width) and weighs 15.43
pounds (7.0 kg). Pump shall be placed on a flat smoth level surface. Pump is Type 1 automatic operation
and specified for Pollution Degree 3 (dust damp conditions). The rated impulse intake voltage is 1500V.
Data port connections are 24 VDC and classed as PLEV (protected extra low voltage circuit) system.
•The pump should be installed in one of the following locations with clearance of 3.94 inches (100 mm) at
front and rear:
▪In a room or cupboard with volume of at least 4.38 ft3(0.124m3 ) or,
▪In a cupboard with volume of at least 4.38 ft3 (0.124m3), within a room that the pump serves, with
the top of the pump less than 2.62 ft (80cm) above finished floor level.
▪The pump located such that it is: a) unlikely to be affected by a fire b) protected in the event of fire;
c) unlikely to be affected by flooding.
•Additional clearance at the front and the rear of the pump should also be provided to accommodate the
connections.
•Sufficient space to install the controller in accordance with these installation instructions. The controller is 6.1
inches (155 mm) (height) by 1.6 inches (42 mm) (depth) by 6.1 inches (155 mm) (width).
•Ceiling heights are limited to 11.5 ft (3.5m) based on testing. Higher ceiling applications require the
involvement of a professional fire protection engineer at Plumis Inc.
•It is recommended that the controller is positioned near or next to the consumer unit. The controller should
also be installed in a location that is: a) unlikely to be affected by a fire b) protected in the event of fire; c)
unlikely to be affected by flooding.
•A 3/4” water supply (connection) with an approved isolation valve located inside the cupboard and
positioned so that the connection point will not be obstructed when the pump is installed.
•A cold water supply which can deliver 1.6 gallons (6 litres) per minute flow at a minimum of 14.50 psi (1 bar)
(100kPa) and a maximum of 87.02 psi (6 bar) (0.6 MPa) static pressure. In case that pressure is too high, a
Plumis approved pressure reduction valve (pre-set to 43.51 psi (3 bar), maximum 232.06 psi (16 bar input)
shall be installed upstream of system water supply (available at the Plumis ordering shop). It is responsibility
of the installer to ensure the water supply to the Automist pumps is adequate. An outside pipe diameter of
less than 1.1 inches (28mm) is a good indicator that a survey is required.
•A dedicated electrical branch circuit. This should be on a listed and approved Overcurrent Protection Device
(Circuit Breaker) rated for 20 amps. This circuit breaker should protect only the Automist Smartscan Hydra
system and not be incorporated with any other circuit.
•All wiring and electrical safety shall comply with the National Electric Code and all local requirements.
•Important! If power cable can come into contact with parts having a temperature rise exceeding 122 F (50C),
the wiring insulation must be protected, for example, by insulating sleeving having an appropriate
temperature rating i.e. near boiler or hot water pipes.
•Important! The maximum allowable total data cable length for the spray heads daisy chain is 196.85 ft
(60m).
•Important! The maximum allowable total data cable length for the pump to the controller is 98.43 ft (30m).
•Important! The maximum allowable alarm cable length from spray head to the furthest connected wired
alarm is 98.43 ft (30m).
•Flexible high pressure hoses should be mounted as close to the ground as possible and within the wall. For
cases where the hose is exposed, conduit sleeves must be used. Where the hose is surface mounted more
than 3.93 ft (1.2m) from the floor in a protected room, or where the hose passes above/within the ceiling of a
protected room, a suitable thermally insulating sleeve may be required.

SMARTSCAN
®
•Note: When installing flexible high pressure hose behind plasterboard walls, Plumis advises the hose is left
free and unconstrained. This is because mounting the hose in a conduit or narrow groove within joists makes
it more susceptible to perforation when subsequent building works are carried out.
•Important! Before installation ensure the hoses are in line with Plumis guidelines. See Appendix B for high
pressure hose specification. The maximum total length of high pressure hoses is 196.85 ft (60m). The
maximum allowable hose with a nominal diameter of ¼” is 65.62 ft (20m),and maximum allowable
hose with a nominal diameter of 3/8” is 131.23 ft (40m) when used in combination. The two hose
types can be used in combination if the total length does not exceed the 196.85 ft (60m) limit. If a
3/8” only installation is made, the maximum hose length is of 164.04 ft (50m).
•Important! Operating ambient temperature: above 40°F (4°C). Do not install Plumis equipment in location
which are likely to drop below this minimum temperature requirement.
Spray Head Placement
The Automist Smartscan Head is designed to be affixed into a rectangular hole 3.5 inches wide x 4.6 inches high
(89+/-2mm wide x 117mm high) that is at least 2.2 inches (57mm) deep when using the “renovation” clips
provided.
If you are installing Smartscan using a Backbox, the hole dimensions are as following: 3.70 inches (94 millimeter)
wide x 4.69 inches (119 millimeter) high and 2.36 inches (60 millimeter) deep.
IMPORTANT: The Automist Smartscan head must be located where the spray pattern will not be obstructed and
59.1 inches (1500mm) clearance is provided around the spray head. The spray head must be installed at a height
of 55.1 –57.1 inches (1400 - 1450mm) from the finish floor level.

Detection System
Automist Smartscan’s reliability is partially dependent on the detection system. The system is designed to be
triggered by a correctly installed and positioned Apollo wireless multi-sensor detector or a compatible hardwired
smoke detector (see page 25).
•In its default setting, Automist Smartscan is programmed to run continuously for 30 minutes on
activation (with one second pause after 10 seconds and 30 seconds as a safety feature. This is designed
to prevent interruption of mist even if a heat alarm is damaged by extended exposure to fire.
•Placement of detectors should be in accordance with NFPA 72 and the manufacturer’s instructions.
•Automist Smartscan’s use of multi-sensor detector(s) or smoke detector(s) does not affect or reduce any
requirements for the use of smoke detection in the property. Smoke detection provides a critical
independent early warning, especially with slow-growing fires.
DO NOT install detectors:
•Directly over a sink, cooker, stove or oven
•Do not locate a detector within 4.9 ft (1.5m) of any cooking appliance
•Do not locate a spray head within 3.28 ft (1m) of any oven if in direct line of sight
•Next to a door or window that would be affected by drafts i.e. extractor fan or air vent
•Outside
•In or below a cupboard
•Where air flow would be obstructed by curtains or furniture
•Where dirt or dust could collect or block the sensor
•Where it could be knocked, damaged or inadvertently removed
•Adjacent to, or directly above, heaters, air-conditioning vents or ceiling fans
•In an area where the temperature may fall below 40°F (4°C) or rise above 98°F (37°C)
•In such a position that it is difficult or dangerous to reach for testing or maintenance or where children
can easily tamper with the alarm
•In an area where water or other liquids may enter the alarm, except in the extremely unlikely case that
the alarm and its connections are waterproof (e.g. bathrooms)
•On surfaces subject to significant vibration
IMPORTANT: This version of Automist Smartscan may not function correctly if activated by a detector not
sanctioned (see page 24) by Plumis. Use with other types of detection could lead to death or injury.
Ensure Automist Smartscan Hydra is only paired to the desired detector(s) in the volume it protects. You can
check these interconnections using the product’s ALARM TEST MODE (see page 45). In this mode, alarms may be
triggered which will cause their linked heads to perform two scans and then return to an idle state. Ensure that
Automist Smartscan has been successfully returned to the System OK state following this test, and that the water
supply remains open, and that nozzles are unobstructed.

A) First Fix - Preparing the site
Important! Connecting the system to the mains requires a competent electrician. The Automist Smartscan circuit
should be clearly labelled (a sticker is provided for this purpose). Automist Smartscan requires an independent
240V a.c. / 60Hz electrical supply or a 120V a.c. / 60 Hz electrical supply, depending on the version of pump that
was specified, not shared with other unrelated devices. Components of the fire detection and alarm system may
use this circuit, which must remain powered in the event of a fire. Power to Automist Smartscan must be provided
via an unswitched electrical branch circuit with an Overcurrent Protection Device (Circuit Breaker) rated for 20
Amps.
