Manual Control Point Deluge Release Sign

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

Suitable for industrial premises, manufacturing facilities, power generation sites, chemical processing plants, fuel handling areas, aircraft hangars, warehouses, high hazard process areas and other locations protected by a deluge fire protection system, this sign provides important point of use identification for the system release control.

Deluge systems are fixed fire protection systems designed to rapidly apply water or another appropriate extinguishing medium across a protected area when activated. Unlike conventional sprinkler systems where individual sprinkler heads normally operate in response to heat, many deluge installations use open discharge nozzles or sprinkler heads supplied through a deluge valve, allowing simultaneous discharge across the designated area when the system operates.

These systems are commonly used where rapid fire development or the spread of fire could present a significant hazard and where fast application across a wider area may be required. The exact design, extinguishing medium and method of activation will depend on the particular installation and the risks being protected.

The Manual Control Point Deluge Release Sign helps distinguish the release control from fire alarm call points, emergency stop buttons, sprinkler controls, pump controls and other switches that may be located nearby. Clear identification can be particularly important in industrial environments containing several different emergency systems and controls.

Manual activation of a deluge system should only be carried out in accordance with the procedures established for the specific installation. Personnel expected to operate the release control should receive appropriate information, instruction and training so that they understand the system, the hazards it protects against and the actions required during an emergency.

Depending on the installation, operating the manual release point may activate alarms, open a deluge valve, start pumps, shut down equipment or initiate other associated functions. The correct sequence of operation should therefore always be based on the design and operating instructions for the particular fire protection system.

The manual control point should remain clearly visible and readily accessible. Access should not be obstructed by stored materials, machinery, vehicles or other equipment that could delay authorised personnel from reaching the control during an emergency.

The Manual Control Point Deluge Release Sign can form part of a wider fire protection identification system alongside Fire Pump Start Button signs, Sprinkler Control Valve signs, Open Valve In The Event Of Fire signs, Fire Alarm signs and other system specific operating and identification notices.

Deluge systems, manual release controls, valves, pumps, alarms and associated equipment should be appropriately inspected, tested and maintained by competent persons in accordance with the requirements applicable to the particular installation. Any faults or changes that could affect operation should be investigated and addressed promptly.

Signage should complement rather than replace appropriate fire protection system design, operating instructions, risk assessments, emergency procedures, maintenance and staff training. The sign should only be installed where the identified control is specifically intended to initiate the deluge release system.

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