Features
Smarter protection
Centrally monitored fire hazard zones reduce downtime and cleanup by discharging ANSUL® Fire Suppression Systems individually, only where needed rather than entire kitchen
A 4,000+ event history log with real-time date stamps provides a comprehensive record
Single display unit centralizes monitoring and simplifies control of up to 8 controllers
Hood cleaning mode allows kitchen staff to disengage one hood while keeping other hoods in operation and a failsafe timer automatically resets the system if the hood is not manually reengaged
Password protection for Authorized ANSUL® Distributor access maintains system integrity
System helps minimize the potential for grease buildup and simplifies maintenance
Superior versatility
Expandable system accommodates growth and allows for the monitoring of up to 16 zones
Configuration tool makes system installation and setup clear
Easy integration with existing ANSUL® fire protection systems with no change to the basic fire suppression system
Multiple temperature ratings in a single hazard zone adapt to the needs of a wide variety of appliances
Greater peace of mind
When combined with ANSUL® R-102 and PIRANHA systems, ANSUL® RED Technology holds a complete UL and ULC Listing
Service and maintenance notifications and around-the-clock troubleshooting simplify maintenance schedules
ANSUL® RED Technology meets NFPA 96 and 17A requirements
Advanced features and targeted suppression simplify and reduce maintenance
Real-time monitoring of multiple zones provides 24/7 safety
Operating components include the display, controllers, spot thermal detectors, linear detection wire, electric manual pull stations, protracting actuation devices (PAD), electric releases, electric gas valves, and wire for power, communication, detection and release circuits.
Key Components
1. Linear Detection Wire
With multiple temperature ratings in a single hazard area, the linear detection wire accommodates a variety of cooking equipment. It helps minimize the potential for grease buildup and simplifies maintenance.
Available temperature ratings
155°F / 68°C
280°F / 137°C
356°F / 180°C
500°F / 260°C
2. Controller
The RED controller features inputs and outputs used to protect up to two hazard areas and activates the release outputs. It also monitors all the circuits and can connect two additional, optional relay modules.
3. Regulated PAD Release (RED Automan)
The regulated PAD release assembly contains the regulated release, expellant gas hose for agent tank hookup and enclosure knockouts to facilitate installing actuation piping, expellant piping, release wiring and additional equipment.
4. Display Module
The display module is the interface that confirms the system is ready, monitors up to 16 zones, configures the system and identifies trouble or alarm conditions. It’s also where users can silence alarms, reset systems and engage the cleaning mode.
The module is password protected and features two access levels: one for the owner and another for the Authorized ANSUL® RED Distributor.
