Unlike traditional venting, the Flex-V panel returns to its original position at the end of the venting process, restoring about 90% of the vent relief area. With the Flex-V, the affected space becomes reconfined, allowing fire-fighting agents to control fire situations and the risk of secondary explosions is reduced. In addition, the Flex-V may open inward to offer protection against vessel collapse due to vacuum pressure. NFPA booth No. 707 www.fike.com #9 Gamewell-FCI wireless FA monitor Monitor multiple fire alarm systems in real time with FocalPoint Mobile, a new wireless tablet PC. The system provides information in text or graphic detail via CAD-type drawings. From a single screen, users navigate a facility map to view specific floor plans or to identify the location and type of multiple fire alarm events. Should a device go into alarm, the system auto-navigates to the area and provides a thorough history log for users to track and search previous incidents. The device mounts in vehicles or at an indoor docking station. It also may be carried by hand.
