Abstract
The invention provides a self-contained automatic fire detection, warning, and suppression life safety system having an extinguishant source and a fire detector coupled to an electronic processor. The processor has logic to interface with components for detecting and warning of a fire and releasing the extinguishant. Self-diagnosis logic checks the entire system's function, pressure, power level, and power source. Additional sensors are provided for detecting various hazards, and the processor has logic for proper response.
