2 C L E A N A G E N T F I R E S U P P R E S S I O N FM-200 The superior design features and exceptional performance of Fike s Clean Agent Fire Suppression System using DuPont FM-200 help you: Save lives Protect high-value, assets and irreplaceables from damage IT S TIME TO THINK THE UNTHINKABLE... Imagine your company s valuable data, and systems lost to fire. It happens every day somewhere in the world. And it s devastating. Even one day lost to fire-related downtime can mean lost revenues, customers and profits. You can t afford being inoperable... service interruptions to customers... or being unable to produce valuable data, documents and resources. You must protect your employees, your business and most importantly, your customers. Minimize business interruption due to fire Minimize downtime after fire Prevent residue and clean-up after fire Minimize floor space requirements CONSIDER THE FIKE CLEAN AGENT FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM WATER AND ELECTRONICS A BAD COMBINATION CLEAN AGENT FIRE PROTECTION IS BEST FOR ELECTRONICS AND HIGH VALUE ASSETS Water-based fire suppression systems (i.e. sprinklers), are designed to protect people and structures. But, when it comes to protecting high value machinery, computers and other electronic, water can be more damaging than the fire itself! Gaseous chemical suppression systems (clean agent systems) have been used for more than 40 years to protect electronics and other valuables that are susceptible to the damaging effects of water-based suppression systems. Fike s Clean Agent Systems are superior to water and dry chemicals in virtually every way: Clean agents are not electrically conductive, and do not damage electronics water is a conductor and ruins electronics! Clean agents are safe for people. Clean agents leave no residue and require no clean-up. Because they act quickly, clean agents greatly reduce the amount of smoke and soot damage caused by a fire. Clean agents provide three-dimensional suppression, extinguishing fires that water may not reach.

3 C L E A N A G E N T F I R E S U P P R E S S I O N WHY FM-200? For speed in suppressing fires, reducing damages, saving on floor space and allowing visibility, Fike is the clear choice. Fike s Clean Agent System extinguishes a fire quickly by discharging in 10 seconds or less! The system removes heat and breaks up the fire at the molecular level. FM-200 discharges as gas, leaves no residue and doesn t require costly clean-up, unlike sprinklers and other systems. FIKE S CLEAN AGENT SYSTEM WITH FM-200 PROVIDES OPTIMUM FIRE AND DAMAGE PROTECTION FOR CRITICAL ASSETS IN NUMEROUS APPLICATIONS: Telecommunications facilities Control rooms Computer rooms THE MOST TRUSTED FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM ON THE MARKET Data processing And with Fike s patented valve system, we offer greater coverage faster and more effectively than any other option.

Carbon dioxide is an effective fire suppression agent applicable to a wide range of fire hazards. Carbon dioxide works quickly, with no residual clean-up associated with a system discharge which translates into minimal business interruption. Other Benefits of a Fike Carbon Dioxide Fire Protection System include: A G E N T W H I C H I S C O L O R L E S S, O D O R L E S S, A N D E L E C T R I C A L L Y N O N - C O N D U C T I V E. Fast and Effective - within seconds, CO 2 penetrates the entire hazard area to smother the combustion. Electrically non-conductive - for a wide range of applications. Versatile - CO 2 is effective on flammable and combustible materials and approved for Class A, B, and C hazards. Full 1 year warranty Environmentally friendly - because carbon dioxide is naturally found in the atmosphere, there is no environmental impact. ISO 9001 Certified Recognized by top independent listings and approvals agencies: - FM - UL - USCG Marine Approved F I K E C O 2 R E L I A B L E, F A S T, A N D E F F E C T I V E Slave valve operated by manifold back pressure Discharge bend includes internal check valve for added safety Solenoid Actuator available in 12 or 24 VDC One piece valve for increased reliability and simplified maintenance

13 Total Flooding and Local Application Systems Both CO 2 systems consist of a fixed supply of carbon dioxide connected to a piping network for agent distribution. A total flooding system quickly extinguishes both surface and deep seated fire hazards by discharging the agent into an enclosed volume. A local application system is used when the hazard is non-enclosable. Local application systems protect a two- or three-dimensional hazard by discharging the carbon dioxide directly on the burning material. How Does Carbon Dioxide Work? Fike Carbon Dioxide systems use intelligent, reliable, and fast acting controls to quickly sense a fire before it can cause costly damage to your property. Carbon dioxide gas has a high rate of expansion which allows it to work fast. When applied to a fire, CO 2 provides a heavy blanket of gas that reduces the oxygen level to a point where combustion cannot occur. Since carbon dioxide is a gas, there is no clean-up associated with a system discharge which means minimal business interruption. UL/ FM FIRE SUP PRES SION CONTROLS THAT FIT YOUR NEEDS Fike s intelligent Cheetah Xi system turns every device into a peer. These peers not only communicate up-to-thesecond information to the control panel, they also communicate with each other. Each device is capable of generating accurate and highly detailed information. Conventional systems give you a general idea of a fire s location for example, the second floor of your building. Cheetah Xi s intelligent sensors tell you precisely which device is in alarm and specific information on that hazard for example, a specific location on the second floor. Applications for C0 2 Flammable liquid storage areas Quench tanks Mixing operations Spray booths Turbine driven generators Electrical areas Dust collectors Engine rooms Cheetah Xi modules can be programmed or tied in to other systems such as: Shutdowns HVAC / Smoke Control Voice Evacuation Systems Dampers Doors Elevators Releasing of Clean Agent Suppression, Carbon Dioxide Suppression, Watermist, Foam, and Sprinkler / Pre-Action Security / CCTV / Building Management In addition, Fike offers a reliable, conventional fire detection system, the SHP-PRO... easily configured for use within a wide range of industries and fire suppression applications.
