6. Operation of this system is controlled by the water level float switch fitted in Distill water tank. Ensure distill water tank have sufficient water at all times.

MANUAL RELEASE OF SYSTEM IN CASE OF FAILURE OF AUTOMATIC RELEASE. 1. Go to FIRE CONTROL STATION OR EHQ for manual release.

2. Change over the mode of MANUAL RELEASE PANEL from AUTOMATIC to LOCAL by key. 3. Manually activate the starting signal for pump to START by changing the knob of affected space from AUTOMATIC to LOCAL. 4. This action will start the pump, opens the section valve for affected space/spaces & water mist releases to suppress the fire.

LOCAL RELEASE OF WATER MIST SYSTEM

IF SYSTEM STILL FAILS TO START THE PUMP 1. Go to local pump starter panel in Engine room.

2. Change over the pump mode selection switch from AUTOMATIC to LOCAL. 3. Pump will start, ensure the valve for the affected space/spaces is/are open. 4. Water mist releases through sprinkler nozzles to suppress the fire in space concerned.
