The prescient range of extinguishant panels is a powerful yet user-friendly series of control panels. They are designed and manufactured to a high standard.

Each panel in this series has extensive configuration options but is easy to install, programme and operate. This is supported by comprehensive documentation on commissioning, operating, maintenance and fault finding. In addition, there is a complete range of compatible accessories available to support the series and to meet most customer requirements.

The prescient range of extinguishing panels is available in two variants - either as a gaseous extinguishant panel or a pre-action water sprinkler panel. Panels are housed in well-designed enclosures with partially glazed doors. Steel parts are finished in a hard-wearing epoxy paint.

Three fully-monitored detection zones are provided. Zones 1 and 2 normally provide first stage and second stage fire conditions to allow extinguishant discharge (double-knock zones). Zone 3 is an auxiliary zone for detection only purposes. Zone 4 is used as a manual release zone.

Two  fully-monitored alarm circuits are provided, each rated at 1A and may have various configuration options via the engineers' DIL switch settings. Two fully-monitored actuator/solenoid circuits, each rated at 1A, operate simultaneously upon "extinguishant release".

The panel can be operated in either automatic mode or manual mode. In the manual mode, the detection circuits will continue to operate, giving first stage alarms and signals to ancillary equipment, but will not automatically actuate the extinguishing system. This mode can only be overridden by the operation of a manual release unit. On operation of the manual release, a separate or different sounder could be activated. In the automatic mode, following a double knock situation, the release facility will be activated at the end of the time period.
