DEF

A system similar to the pre-action system, except that the fire detector operation acts as an electrical interlock, causing the control valve to open at a predetermined temperature and close when normal temperature is restored. Should the fire rekindle after its initial control, the valve will reopen and water will again flow from the opened heads. The valve will continue to open and close in accordance with the temperature sensed by the fire detectors.
