===Fire Protection System===

The paint booth is designed with an AMEREX industrial dry chemical fire suppression system that will discharge into the paint booth if the system is set off. Trust me... you do not want to set off this fire suppression system unless absolutely necessary because it will unleash a deluge of fire suppressing agent all over you, your workpiece, and probably half of the Machine Shop. The fire suppression system can be activated by automatic or manual means. During automatic activation, the heat from the fire melts a pressurized detection line relieving air pressure, which allows high-pressure nitrogen gas to pneumatically open the dry chemical cylinders to disperse the suppressing agent through the fixed nozzle network. During manual activation, the user must first pull the ring pin located at the entrance to the Finishing Room and then pull the handle of the manual pull station firmly. As iterated above, do not use any open flames or create a lot of heat inside the paint booth. If possible, use the portable fire extinguisher by the Wood Shop door instead.

Note: The discharge of the fire suppression system is noisy and produces a large cloud of extinguishing chemicals. Breathing the dry chemical is unpleasant and may cause some irritation to the nose, throat, and eyes, and may cause coughing. The dry chemical is non-toxic in all forms and is classified as nuisance dust by OSHA.
