The document describes the sequence of operation for an Inergen fire suppression system. It outlines three stages: 1) activation of a single detector causes a first stage alarm, 2) activation of a second detector causes a second stage alarm and initiates a time delay before agent release, and 3) upon completion of the time delay the system discharges the Inergen agent into the protected area. It also describes the auxiliary components including manual release and abort stations, and details the automatic and manual modes of Inergen discharge.
