A fire water monitor system can be activated in various ways in case of a fire emergency. Here are some common methods:
- Manual Activation: Firefighters or trained personnel can manually activate the fire water monitor system by operating a control panel or switch located near the monitor.
- Automatic Activation: The system can be designed to activate automatically when certain fire detection devices, such as smoke detectors or heat sensors, detect the presence of a fire.
- Integration with Fire Alarm System: The fire water monitor system can be integrated with the building’s fire alarm system so that when the alarm is triggered, it automatically activates the water monitor system.
- Remote Activation: In some cases, the fire water monitor system can be remotely activated by fire department personnel or building management from a central control room or monitoring station.
- Pre-Programmed Activation: The system can be pre-programmed to activate in specific situations, such as when a certain area of the building is identified as high-risk or when certain hazardous materials are detected.
- Manual Override: In situations where automatic activation may not be appropriate, such as during maintenance or testing, there may be a manual override option to activate the system.
The method of activation may vary depending on the specific design and requirements of the fire water monitor system and the building or facility it is installed in. It’s important for building occupants and personnel to be familiar with the activation procedures outlined in the building’s fire safety plan.
