Electrical supplies A separately fused
connection to the fire
pump taken after the
meter and from the
supply side of the
domestic fuse box using
fire resisting cable. All
other devices on the
system should continue
to function in the event
of a complete failure
of mains power (as per
BS5839 Part 6)
Automist must remain
powered in the event of
a fire and therefore must
not share a mains circuit
or RCD with appliance and
sockets. The pump unit
electrical supply will adopt
the BS9251 installation
recommendations.
Achieved.
An identical
level of design redundancy is
included into the Automist
system as would be expected
of a residential sprinkler
system.
Installation
Requires an Approved
Installer to run pipes
from the services routes
and sign off the system
installation.
Requires a Plumis
Certified and Approved
Installer and/or Reseller to
install Automist correctly.
Achieved.
Typical run time
Minimum of 10minutes
for domestic occupancies
and 30minutes for
residential occupancies.
30 minutes (default) or
configurable with the fire
panel
Achieved.
Due to the lower
water supply requirements
the Automist is capable
for being run for extended
periods more easily than
residential sprinklers with
less potential water damage.
Commissioning
Pressure test to 1.5 times
the working pressure or
12 bar for 1 hour. Plus a
pressure and flow test.
A simple commissioning
procedure carried out by a
Plumis Accredited installer
during which the pump
runs for 20 seconds.
Achieved.
The
commissioning procedure
allows the installer to
monitor the flow and
pressure requirements which
can be easily checked at any
time.
Maintenance
Annual inspection and
testing by a suitably
qualified contractor.
An annual
recommissioning
procedure to be carried out
by an accredited installer
or the responsible person
trained by the accredited
installer.
Achieved.
An identical
level of design redundancy is
included into the Automist
system as would be expected
of a residential sprinkler
system.
Although noted in the table it is worth highlighting Automist should be specified, commissioned and
signed-off by Plumis or a Plumis Accredited Installer only. Each installer has been quality checked and
fully trained by Plumis to ensure that every project is installed to the very highest standards. Each installer
will possess a Plumis Certificate of Approval on successful completion of their training and accreditation
process.
