The Auto or Mechanical Mode FM200 Fire Suppression System is a pipe network type, single-zone solution engineered for reliable fire protection across large and critical protected areas. Available in both automatic and mechanical activation modes, it delivers rapid, clean, and environmentally responsible fire suppression.

FM200 fire suppression is one of the most competitive systems among modern fire suppression solutions. Because of its clean and environmentally friendly nature, it is increasingly recognized by users around the world. FM200 is now widely considered the best substitute for halon-based systems.

The FM200 system is odorless and tasteless. It has a standard concentration for extinguishing fires — typically 9% is sufficient to protect an occupied protected zone. In some special cases, the concentration may reach 10%, which can be harmful to the human body if occupants remain in the protected zone for an extended period. For this reason, the common design concentration of FM200 fire suppression is 9%.

As its name indicates, the single-zone FM200 fire suppression system is suitable for large and significant protected zones and for several kinds of fire. Recommended application environments include:

1. Telecommunication rooms
2. Data and paper archives
3. Switchgear rooms
4. Computer rooms
5. Applications and cell sites
6. High-tech medical facilities
7. Robotic equipment areas
8. Telecommunication centers
9. Textile manufacturing facilities
10. Records and data archives
11. Electric utility facilities

The system offers a range of advantages summarized below for our customers:

• Flexible application in protection zones. Thanks to its structure and the assembly of other useful components, a very large protection zone can be covered by combining multiple storage cylinders, while a single-cylinder system can serve very small coverage areas.
• Efficient gas discharge. One set of pipe network system can distribute the discharge evenly across large zones in less than 10 seconds with the help of the pipeline deployment.
• Combined distribution system. The most distinctive and flexible advantage of this system is the combined distribution system, which combines multiple rooms in one district or building — even rooms with different dimensions or on different floors. It also helps save costs through the least and safe utilization of fire extinguishing gas. The system adopts selective valves to guide FM200 gas into the room on fire, and monitoring each room's situation provides a smarter way to avoid accidents. Note that, in accordance with our standard, the combined rooms should be no more than 8 (including 8).
