OPERATION
When energized by a fire condition, a solenoid mounted on
the actuator trips the release mechanism puncturing the
cartridge. The solenoid operates approximately 50 milli
-
seconds after energized. Then actuation gas from the
cartridge is directed through piping to pneumatically activate
the fire suppression system.
Manual actuation is provided by means of an integral
STRIKE button at the release enclosure which may be
supplemented by use of a remote manual cable pull station.
