What happens when there’s a fire?
Danger to life!
If there is a fire, and the extinguisher system is triggered, you must immediately leave the
room, or must keep at least 5 metres away from the area! Carbon dioxide (CO
2
) flows out
of the installation and you must therefore protect yourselves and other persons, as this is
deadly in high doses!
Keep the area to be protected closed for the time being. Where necessary, hold a suitable
fire extinguisher ready for extinguishing any remaining fires, and call the fire brigade.
Important!
Inform the security officer of your company.
5.1
System tripped (fire alarm)
If a fire occurs on the machine tool, the following sequence takes place:
As soon as the ambient temperature rises above 110 °C, the pneumatic Lifdes
TM
detection
tube bursts.
As a result, there is a pressure drop in the Lifdes
TM
pneumatic detection tube and the valve of
the extinguisher container opens at virtually the same time.
The extinguisher flows through a separate extinguisher line and the correspondingly
positioned extinguisher nozzles to the source of the fire and floods the protected area of the
machine tool.
The EMERGENCY STOP of the machine is switched by a pressure switch using a potential-
free changeover contact.
Note!
The connection to the machine stop and/or EMERGENCY STOP must always take place.
The communication interface indicates the current status as follows:
Operation (green)
System tripped (fire alarm)
(red)
Loss of extinguisher (red)
Flashing light
constant
Acoustic signal
