Advanced ExGo Three Zone Automatic Gas Extinguishing Panel
£466.29 (inc VAT: £559.55)
Summary
The Advanced ExGo Three Zone Automatic Gas Extinguishing Panel represents cutting-edge fire suppression technology, fully approved to EN12094-1 (European Standard for Fixed Firefighting Systems – Components for Gas Extinguishing Systems) and EN54 – Parts 2, 4 and 13. This sophisticated control system detects fire in the same manner as a conventional fire alarm system, but extends functionality to control the automated release of extinguishing agents.
The system’s versatility allows it to work with various extinguishing agents from CO₂ through to specialist gases developed specifically for fire suppression purposes. Upon fire detection, the agent is released into the atmosphere of the affected area, reducing oxygen density around the fire source and effectively extinguishing the flames. This approach provides superior protection whilst minimising water damage to sensitive equipment and valuable assets.
Designed primarily for areas of significant value or strategic importance to businesses such as computer suites, telecommunications switch-rooms, and server facilities, the ExGo system provides a cost-effective solution for protecting critical workplace infrastructure. The advanced LCD interface offers clear status indication, multiple language support, and comprehensive programming capabilities, ensuring optimal system performance and ease of operation.

FAQ
What types of extinguishing agents can the ExGo system control?
The ExGo system is compatible with a wide range of extinguishing agents, from traditional CO₂ through to specialist gases developed solely for fire suppression purposes. The system supports both solenoid and metron type actuators for maximum flexibility.
How many detection zones does the system support?
The ExGo features 3 conventional detection zones with support for intrinsically safe barriers, allowing comprehensive coverage of the protected area whilst maintaining compatibility with hazardous environment requirements.
Can the system be monitored remotely?
Yes, the system supports up to 7 remote status indicators via RS485 communication, providing comprehensive remote monitoring capabilities. Additionally, PC connectivity via USB allows for downloading of configuration settings and event logs.
What programming and access control features are available?
The system offers multi-level access control with passcode protection or optional key switch for Level 2 access. The backlit LCD display provides intuitive programming routines with multiple language support, and custom company logos can be displayed during normal operating conditions.
How does the countdown timer function work?
The ExGo features a large LCD digital countdown timer that displays the time remaining until extinguishing agent release. This provides clear visual indication during the pre-discharge warning period, allowing personnel time to evacuate or abort the release if necessary.
What expansion options are available?
The system can be expanded with the EXP-008F programmable 8-way relay card for additional output requirements. Optional accessories include the EXM-001 semi-flushing bezel and EXP-001 trapped key switch assembly for enhanced installation flexibility.
