SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The CHECKFIRE 210 Detection and Actuation System is typi-
cally used with an ANSUL A-101 or LVS Vehicle Fire Suppres-
sion System for 24-hour protection of equipment. The system
is designed for vehicles/equipment in extreme environmental
and physical conditions.
Industries Where Vehicles Use CHECKFIRE 210 Systems:
• Forestry
• Public utilities
• Agriculture
• Land fills
• Construction
• Waste disposal
• Public transportation
• Mining
The automatic detection and actuation system provides two
monitored input circuits and one monitored output circuit to
activate an ANSUL fire suppression system. On detecting a
fire condition, the system activates the release circuit resulting
in the discharge of an expellant gas cartridge initiating fire
suppression system operation. Optional pneumatic actuation is
available.
