SYSTEM OPERATIONAL FEATURES
**************************************************************************
NOTE:
General operation of the system should be
described here. This description is not intended to
replace a controls matrix or sequence of operation
otherwise required or provided on the drawings.
**************************************************************************
[The wet-pipe sprinkler system shall operate so that actuation of a single
sprinkler will cause water to flow through the alarm check valve, foam
concentrate to enter the affected proportioners, and foam-water solution to
be discharged from actuated sprinklers and the nozzle system.] [The
single-interlocked preaction sprinkler system (without supervisory air)
shall operate so that actuation of a single heat detector or manual release
will cause the automatic water control (deluge) valve to open, foam
concentrate to enter the affected proportioners, and foam-water solution to
be discharged from actuated sprinklers and the nozzle system.] [The deluge
sprinkler system shall operate so that actuation of a single heat detector
or manual release will cause the automatic water control (deluge) valve to
open, foam concentrate to enter the affected proportioners, and foam-water
solution to be discharged from all sprinklers on the system and the nozzle
system.]
1.5
