Abstract
Currently, fire protection in electronic and computer facilities is provided by full flooding halon or water sprinkler systems. An original, compact, smoke detector automatic extinguisher and alarm unit for local extinguishment of computer or electronic cabinets is described. An acoustic receiver which detects the alarm and provides fire department notification also is described. Environmental, component and system testing is discussed and test data presented.
