wherein the at least one configuration module processes configuration parameters received from the at least one configuration parameter selector.

2. The automatic fire extinguishing system as in claim 1 ,

wherein the hazard alarm control unit is a fire alarm control unit, a spark detection control unit, a spark extinguishing control unit, a extinguishing control unit, or a hazard signal acquisition and extinguishing control unit and

wherein the extinguishing fluid release apparatus is a valve.

3. The automatic fire extinguishing system as in claim 1 , wherein the second electronic assembly is pivotably arranged on the housing.

4. The automatic fire extinguishing system as in claim 1 , wherein the second electronic assembly comprises a hardware coding unit for generating a selection signal for the at least one configuration module.

5. The automatic fire extinguishing system as in claim 1 ,

wherein the hazard detector is a spark detector connected in a signal-conducting manner with the detector signal acquisition unit, and

wherein the at least one configuration module controls a functional sequence of a spark extinguishing system.

6. The automatic fire extinguishing system as in claim 1 ,

wherein the detector signal acquisition unit is connected to spark detectors and/or rapidly reacting flame detectors in a signal-conducting manner and

wherein an alarm signal from the spark detectors and/or rapidly reacting flame detectors causes an immediate control signal from the controlling unit which activates the extinguishing fluid release apparatus without delay.

7. The automatic fire extinguishing system as in claim 1 ,

wherein the detector signal acquisition unit is connected to fire detectors in a signal-conducting manner and

wherein an alarm signal from the fire detectors generates, after expiry of an analysis time, a control signal from the controlling unit which activates the extinguishing fluid release apparatus.

8. The automatic fire extinguishing system as in claim 1 , wherein the extinguishing fluid release apparatus is configured to release an extinguishing fluid which is one of water, a gas, and a chemical extinguishing agent.

9. The automatic fire extinguishing system as in claim 1 , wherein the automatic fire extinguishing system is a water, gas or chemical extinguishing system.

10. The automatic fire extinguishing system as in claim 1 , wherein the automatic fire extinguishing system is a spark detection and spark extinguishing system.

11. The automatic fire extinguishing system as in claim 1 ,

wherein the hazard detector is at least one participant selected from the group consisting of a smoke detector, a heat detector, a fire gas detector, a spark detector, and a flame detector, and

wherein the at least one participant is operatively connected to the detector signal acquisition unit.

12. The automatic fire extinguishing system as in claim 1 , wherein the hazard detector includes

a spark detector operatively connected to the detector signal acquisition unit by a first signal line and

a fire detector operatively connected to the detector signal acquisition unit by a second signal line.

13. A method for commissioning an automatic fire extinguishing system, comprising:

providing a hazard alarm control unit, the hazard alarm control unit having

a housing,

a controlling unit; and

a second electronic assembly having

an outside formed as an operating and display front panel comprising switching elements and luminous indicators and

an inside formed as a commissioning and configuration unit comprising at least one configuration parameter selector and a first optical display,

wherein the second electronic assembly is connected to the first electronic assembly in a signal-conducting manner and

wherein the at least one configuration module processes configuration parameters received from the at least one configuration parameter selector;

providing an extinguishing fluid release apparatus;

providing a hazard detector selected from the group consisting of a smoke detector, a heat detector, a fire gas detector, a spark detector, and a flame detector;

operatively connecting the extinguishing fluid release apparatus to the controlling unit; and

operatively connecting the hazard detector to the detector signal acquisition unit through a signal line.
