How the Range Guard System Works

• Fire is detected by the Badger mechanical link or, electric Detect-A- Fire®,or the system is manually activated by a remote pull station.
• The UCH™ Control simultaneously actuates up to 20 pressurized agent storage containers, shuts down fuel and power sources to the appliances and activates the building fire alarm.
• Badger Karbaloy wet chemical agent, designed specifically for the challenges posed by oil and grease in a kitchen environment, is propelled through the system piping by the stored pressure container.
• The Badger Karbaloy agent discharges from strategically positioned nozzles protecting the hood, duct and appliances. Karbaloy agent quickly suppresses the flames and forms a protective layer that not only extinguishes the fire, but also prevents re-ignition.
