Enhanced Protection with Less Water

This ESFR-17 sprinkler is the first UL / C-UL Listed electronically activated sprinkler head – all system components also have the same listings. Here’s how the system works. Sprinklers are installed on existing system piping. Each sprinkler has an attached heat sensor, which are wired back to a suppression releasing panel. During a fire event, heat sensors detect a fire. The system identifies the fire location and the suppression releasing panel sends a signal to simultaneously activate only the sprinklers required to address the fire.
