Abstract

A selector valve for a fire suppression system includes a pneumatic fluid inlet connecting to an inlet of a first pressure solenoid and an inlet of a second pressure solenoid. An inlet of a first vent solenoid in the selector valve is connected to an outlet of the first pressure solenoid, and an inlet of a second vent solenoid in the selector valve is connected to an outlet of the second pressure solenoid. A first selector valve outlet is connected to the outlet of the first pressure solenoid and a second selector valve outlet connected to the outlet of the second pressure solenoid.

Claims (13)

1 . A selector valve for a fire suppression system comprising:

a pneumatic fluid inlet connecting to an inlet of a first pressure solenoid and an inlet of a second pressure solenoid;

an inlet of a first vent solenoid connected to an outlet of the first pressure solenoid;

an inlet of a second vent solenoid connected to an outlet of the second pressure solenoid; and

a first selector valve outlet connected to the outlet of the first pressure solenoid; and

a second selector valve outlet connected to the outlet of the second pressure solenoid.

2 . The selector valve of claim 1 , further comprising a controller communicatively coupled to each of the first pressure solenoid, the second pressure solenoid, the first vent solenoid, and the second vent solenoid.

3 . The selector valve of claim 2 , wherein each of the first pressure solenoid, the second pressure solenoid, the first vent solenoid, and the second vent solenoid has an open state and a closed state, and wherein the state of each solenoid is controlled by the controller.

4 . The selector valve of claim 3 , wherein at least one of the first pressure solenoid, the second pressure solenoid, the first vent solenoid, and the second vent solenoid includes an intermediate state, the intermediate state providing a metered flow through the solenoid.

5 . The selector valve of claim 2 , wherein the controller further includes fire suppression valve monitor input configured to receive an input from a valve monitor in a fire suppression system.

6 . The selector valve of claim 5 , wherein the fire suppression valve monitor input is a linear encoder monitor.

7 . The selector valve of claim 1 , wherein the pneumatic fluid inlet is connected to a pressurized pneumatic fluid source.

8 . The selector valve of claim 1 , wherein the first selector valve outlet is connected to a first pneumatically controlled valve inlet of a fire suppression system, and the second selector valve outlet is connected to a second pneumatically controlled valve inlet of the fire suppression system.
