Patent attributes
A wireless automatic detection and suppression system for the detection and suppression of a hazard within an environment, the system includes a wireless automatic suppression apparatus, and at least one detector positioned about the environment to detect a hazard, each detector further includes a transceiver for transmitting a wireless signal to a receiver upon detecting a hazard. The receiver is in communication with the apparatus. The apparatus also includes a cylinder containing an extinguishing agent and a valve attached to the cylinder. The valve has at least one discharge port that may be opened such that the extinguishing agent flows through each discharge port and out a discharge nozzle positioned about the environment. A receiver is in communication with the valve such that upon receiving a wireless signal that a hazard exists in the environment the valve will automatically open and expel the extinguishing agent out of the discharge nozzle(s). The apparatus has a capability to be activated manually in case of an emergency, and the capability to shut off all the sources that can be a hazard re-generator. Once the extinguishing agent is expelled a visual/audio indicator will be activated to indicate the suppression.
