Fire detection and suppression• Room 240, 241 and 233 is protected by a special

system• The air quality (particles) is continuously measured by

sniffing devices• If the number of particles rate go up a pre-alarm is sent

and a warning tone from the device• The pre-alarm is also send via email to subscribers to

the monitoring system (Moped).• When the rate goes over a certain level the full alarm is

turned on which means you should leave the room• After that the gas bottles are opened and a mixture of

argon and nitrogen is entering the room.• The gas is not toxic and you could still breathe• Each room is a special section
