          Q. What activates the system, heat or smoke ?

          Q. How long does it take to activate once a fire is detected ?

             A. 35~45 seconds.

          Q. Does the system completely discharge upon activation ?

          Q. How long does it take to completely discharge the extinguishing agent ?

             A. 40~45 seconds.

          Q. What type of extinguishing agent is in the cylinder ?

             A. *Ansulex wet chemical. This is a salt solution that foams when it comes into 

                 contact with hot grease forming a barrier from air that smothers the fire.

             A. 5 pounds by weight, or approximately 58 oz.

          Q. Does the Ansulex reaction to grease leave a mess to clean-up ?

             A. Much less than any dry-chemical system or portable extinguisher. After discharge, the

                 entire "mess" can be cleaned-up with soap and water.

          Q. Is the system rechargeable ?

             A. Yes; it recharges the same way a portable fire extinguisher does.

          Q. Are the nozzles in a fixed position ?

             A. No; the nozzle assembly is magnetically attached to the underside of the exhaust

                 hood, and they have swivels to allow proper positioning.

          Q. Does the system provide for fuel/power shut-off ?

             A. Yes; both gas and electric supplies are shut-off by sound activated devices that are also

                 connected by hard-wire to the control head for added effectiveness.

                 Protection.

          Q. What kind of maintenance is required ?

             A. Change the battery annually; Visually inspect the pressure gauge, nozzles, and

                 temperature sensors annually and clean when necessary; Pressurized extinguishing

                 agent cylinder must be hydrostatically tested every 12 years.

          Q. What power source is used to operate the system ?

             A. A 9-volt alkaline battery operates the main control unit, and an additional 9-volt

                 battery operates the gas shut-off. The electric shut-off operates on supply

                 current. An optional A/C adapter is available.

          Q. Is there a low battery warning built into the system ?

             A. Yes indeed; when the battery drops to 7 volts, a high-pitched "chirp" will sound

                 every 45 seconds.

          Q. Can the system be connected to an alarm system ?

             A. Yes; we wouldn't have it any other way. A set of dry contacts is built in.
