Overview

The R3 Rack mounted control panel is specifically designed for Turbine protection to control the release of fixed extinguishing systems such as High Pressure Water Mist or Carbon Dioxide gaseous fire suppression in the event of a fire.

It comprises a number of different plug-in modules, each of which is dedicated to a particular function within the complete control panel. The modules currently available cover all the possible requirements of fire detection, alarm signalling, extinguishing, data transmission and plant control in any building and in almost any ambient conditions.

The R3 system also has the capability to be networked to other R3 systems, repeater and mimic panels. It can also communicate with the Control Equipment graphic communications package. The R3 system is based on a standard 19-inch rack frame, each carrying a system backplane and the required function modules.

The system is supremely flexible, to the point that during manufacture or after installation and commissioning, modules may be added or removed without major modifications.  Cabinet sizes are infinitely flexible, based on the constraints of the 19 inch rack. Generally, they vary from 380mm high x 800mm wide x 369mm deep for a single rack system to 2000mm high x 800mm wide x 600mm deep for a system containing 10 racks.
