INDUSTRY LEADING SYSTEM VISIBILITY AND PERFORMANCE.

Chances are your new vehicle is equipped with an advanced vehicle or fleet management system.
Wouldn’t it be nice if that same system could provide you with increased fire suppression system
functionality? With the AFEX Control Unit, it can.

The AFEX Control Unit offers multiple flexible input and output connections for integrating
your AFEX fire suppression system with your vehicle telematics system. This enhanced
connectivity can allow you to check the system status remotely, alert your service provider in
the event of a system discharge, or even allow you to discharge the system via remote control.

 CONNECTIVITY
Featuring multiple input and output connectivity options, the AFEX Control Unit provides the field-proven capability to connect
to vehicle monitoring and control systems. Using outputs from the AFEX system and inputs on the vehicle telematics system,
end users can remotely monitor the AFEX system and integrate the AFEX system with vehicle systems. For autonomous
vehicle applications, the AFEX system can configured to discharge manually when signaled by the vehicle remote control.
