Complete Fire Detection and alarm system is in the scope of this requisition. The
clean agent shall be discharged/actuated automatically after a adjustable time delay
based on the detection signal received. The delay shall be maximum 180 seconds,
however it shall be adjustable from 0 to 180 seconds.
It may be noted that clean agent system to be provided shall meet the requirements
of NFPA-2001 (Latest). Hence any thing specified as “mandatory” in NFPA-2001,
