Manual Control Point CO2 Release Sign

The Manual Control Point CO2 Release Sign provides clear and highly visible identification of the manual activation point for a carbon dioxide fire suppression system. Positioned directly adjacent to the relevant control, the sign helps authorised and trained personnel quickly recognise the manual release point when operation of the CO2 extinguishing system is required.

Suitable for plant rooms, machinery spaces, electrical rooms, generator rooms, industrial facilities, process areas and other locations protected by fixed carbon dioxide fire suppression systems, this sign provides an important point of use identification for the system release control.

CO2 fire suppression systems are designed for specific fire risks and can rapidly discharge carbon dioxide into a protected area. Carbon dioxide extinguishes fire primarily by reducing the concentration of oxygen available to support combustion, making it suitable for certain applications where an appropriately designed fixed suppression system is installed.

Because carbon dioxide can create a serious risk to people within an enclosed space, manual release controls must be clearly identified and should only be operated in accordance with the procedures established for the particular installation. Personnel responsible for operating the system should receive appropriate information, instruction and training.

The Manual Control Point CO2 Release Sign helps distinguish the release control from fire alarm call points, emergency stop buttons, system abort controls and other switches that may be located nearby. Clear identification is particularly important where several emergency controls are installed within the same area.

Before a CO2 system is manually released, the procedures applicable to the installation should be followed. These may include raising the alarm, evacuating the protected area and confirming that personnel are clear before discharge. The exact sequence will depend on the design and operating arrangements of the specific system.

Areas protected by carbon dioxide suppression systems should have appropriate warning and identification signage to alert personnel to the potential discharge hazard. Additional notices may be required at entrances and other appropriate locations to warn that CO2 can be released into the protected space.

The Manual Control Point CO2 Release Sign can form part of a wider fire suppression identification system alongside CO2 Warning signs, Automatic CO2 Release signs, Fire Suppression System signs, Emergency Stop or Abort notices and other system specific operating instructions.

The manual release point should remain clearly visible and readily accessible. It should not be obstructed by stored materials, equipment or other objects that could prevent authorised personnel from locating or operating the control when required.

CO2 fire suppression systems, release controls, alarms and associated safety devices should be appropriately inspected, tested and maintained by competent persons in accordance with the requirements applicable to the installation. Signage should complement rather than replace appropriate system design, operating procedures, maintenance and staff training.

Manufactured from durable, high quality materials with excellent print clarity and visibility, the Manual Control Point CO2 Release Sign provides a professional and long lasting solution for identifying a critical fire suppression control. It helps improve system identification, reinforce safe operating procedures and ensure the manual CO2 release point can be quickly recognised when required.
