Slide 2 NFPA 25 - The standard for testing Water Based Fire Protections systems Sprinkler flow switches should be tested on a quarterly basis. Slide 3 Non-compliant testing These tests have been ignored for a variety of reasons: Too labor intensive Difficulty with access Coordination with alarms/fire services System downtime Not able to flow due to chemicals in system Zonecheck eliminates all the excuses Slide 4 Zonecheck Testing - Without the need to discharge water! Slide 5 Operating Principle Slide 6 Wiring Diagram Single: ZC Pump & Flow switch wired to Key-switch Slide 7 Zonecheck Key-switch Slide 8 Typical Zonecheck Configuration - Slide 9 Wiring Diagram Multiple: Up to 25 Zonechecks can be wired together Slide 10 Typical Zonecheck Configuration - (1) Key-switch (25) Zonechecks Connect to Fire control panel Slide 11 Zonecheck Demo: Slide 12 Slide 13 Zonecheck Models: Zonecheck Retrofit Zonecheck Manifold Slide 14 Zonecheck Applications: Schools Hospitals Libraries / Museums Shopping Centers High-rise Buildings Hotels Airports Basically anywhere that ease of testing and system readiness is important Slide 15 Zonecheck projects: Slide 16 Zonecheck & LEED A conventional Flow Switch test requires approx 100 gallons of water to be flowing either outside, or down the drain Testing quarterly per NFPA would mean 400 gallons annually per flow switch test In a 50 story building, this equals 20,000 gallons of water Environmentally friendly and LEED certified buildings Slide 17 Zonecheck & LEED Maintenance (LEED v3) Credit 1Innovation in Design (Possible point = 1) Water use Reduction: Water Reduction 30%2 points Water Reduction 35%3 points Water Reduction 40%4 points LEED New construction / Major renovation scorecard Slide 18 Zonecheck Advantages: 100% Water Savings Less System Corrosion Fire Pumps will not activate Full System Readiness Full code Compliance Simplicity of testing Labor savings LEED Points available Slide 19 Zonecheck Approvals: FM Standard 1043
