The controller is capable of two zone detection and has the ability to drive up to six high-speed extinguishers. The unit controls system power, manages system operation and communicates with other vehicle subsystems. The controller monitors sensors automatically, and the system may be manually activated by the operator at any time using the manual discharge switches.
When a fire is detected by a sensor, the controller activates the appropriate extinguisher within milliseconds of initial detection. The controller provides the appropriate operational status, warnings and faults to inform the driver where a fire, or fault, occurs.
The controller includes power, engine fire warning and fault indicators for each zone. Also included are reset and manual discharge switches for each zone. This controller is designed to interface with the Kidde Dual Spectrum® PM-3MT series of Infrared Sensors.
An optional watch mode time can be selected to allow protection for up to 120 minutes following vehicle shutdown.
