modular and expandable fire suppression system

摘要

The present invention relates to a fire suppression system including a centralized controller and a plurality of modules (14). each module includes a housing (30), a printed circuit board (32) with a microprocessor (34) mounted, a first connector (36) including a first pair of data wires (38) mounted on the board; and a second connector (40) including a second pair of data wires (42) mounted on the board such that the printed circuit board electrically connects the first and second pairs of data wires. The modules are interconnected to the central controller to define data buses for centralized fire detection, user interface and system response. the connectors of each module interconnect the plurality of modules in series to the central controller.
