Flex Series GF506R - New Special Hazards Fire Alarm Releasing Panels

The Flex Series GF506R agent release panel features clean agent, dry chemical and high-pressure CO2 suppression control capabilities. Commonly utilized to limit costly damage from smoke and fire without water, applications for this control panel include facilities containing computer rooms, telecommunications equipment and industrial metal working operations. The Flex Series GF506D pre-action/deluge panel is suited to hospitals, warehouses, schools and other buildings typically protected by water-spray or foam-water sprinkler systems.

Both panels offer features uncommon in conventional systems, such as built-in strobe synchronization, seven amps of output power, cross-zone functionality and programmable input/output capabilities. The flexibility of these conventional systems enables each to provide a more customized installation with added functionality.

Compatibility with both System Sensor i3 Series and Apollo Series 65 conventional smoke detectors give the Flex Series added versatility for new construction and retrofit applications. The GF506R and GF506D panels are also compatible with a variety of common manufacturers' water control valves, solenoids and notification appliances.

We expanded our offerings with these panels to serve a wider array of commercial and industrial fire protection needs, says John Weaver, director of marketing for Gamewell-FCI. In the near future, we plan to introduce a 220Volt version of the releasing panels for international applications.
