The aim of Automist is to aid in the detection and control of dwelling fires and thus provide improved protection
against injury, life loss and property damage. When correctly installed and maintained in accordance with its
instruction manual, Automist is designed to operate in a manner similar to that demonstrated in the testing
performed at BRE Global, subject to a reliable power and water supply and a correctly operating alarm input. The
effectiveness of Automist is however dependent on factors such as the size of room, detection method, environmental
conditions, available fuel, the source of the fire, availability of ventilation, human behaviour and health, distance
to the fire, time to activation and the actions of the emergency services upon arrival. Plumis therefore cannot make
warranties regarding detection, control, suppression or extinguishment of fires, nor the prevention of injury, death
or property damage.
