Detect it. Suppress it. At the source.

FirePro generators, controllers and detection, engineered into the machine or the room it sits in. LPCB certificated, all electrical, and a 15 year lifespan.

How FirePro works

A solid compound, not a gas

A solid potassium compound, stored at normal pressure, that becomes a fine dry aerosol when activated
The particles interrupt the fire’s chemical chain reaction. It doesn’t remove oxygen
No cylinders, pipes or pressure venting. The whole system is electrical
Independently certified for a 15-year life. No F-Gas handling needed
Free from HCFCs, HFCs and PFCs. Not a PFAS agent. Zero ozone depletion
Suits fire classes A, B, C and F (EN 2)
Covered by BS EN 15276, the standard for condensed aerosol systems
No water, so no water damage to the equipment around the fire

LPCB certificated generators

Cylinder units for cabinets. Box units for rooms.

Cylindrical generators fit inside machinery and control cabinets. Box generators protect larger enclosures and rooms: generator halls, battery rooms, switchrooms.

A selection from the range. FirePro makes more generator sizes than the five shown here, which are picked to show the range of volumes FirePro can protect. FirePro agent density is calculated on a gross volumetric calculation and the class of fire, so every system is designed to suit the enclosure. See the full range on fireprouk.com

Detection & control

One fire signal. Everything shuts down.

A FirePro controller links detection to the generators and to the building. In the NHS installation, all of the outputs below happened at the same moment.

Inputs

Thermocable linear heat detection
Automatic smoke or heat detection
UV flame detection
Stand-alone thermal activation
Manual release
FPC-2V2 / FPC-4RFirePro controller24 V DC · standby batteries

Outputs

Release FirePro
Shut off machine power
Shut off air handling
Close fire doors and dampers
Signal fire alarm and BMS
Panel protection

FPC-2V2 controller

  • Linear heat cable, smoke detectors or both on one monitored input
  • Four generator outputs, each monitored for faults
  • Volt-free fire and fault contacts to plant or monitoring
  • Battery-backed 24 V DC supply

Stand-alone

FPC-4R controller

  • Linear heat cable on one monitored input
  • Two generator outputs, each monitored for faults
  • Detects fire and triggers the generator automatically
  • For electrical cabinets and similar enclosures
Product page

A selection from the range. FirePro supplies more controllers and accessories than the two shown here, including the FPC-5 V2 stand-alone thermal activation module and the BTA, thermocable linear heat detection, smoke, heat and UV flame detectors, and manual release units. We specify the controller and accessories to suit each machine or enclosure, and how it needs to connect to the building. See the full range on fireprouk.com

Which FirePro control do I need?

Answer two to four quick questions about what you are protecting and what should happen when a fire starts. We will point you to the right control, with a guideline price.

What are you protecting?

Pick the closest match. Protecting several? Start with the most common one.

Small panelControl panel up to 0.1 m³, e.g. 600 × 400 × 250 mm
Electrical cabinetUp to 0.5 m³, e.g. 800 × 600 × 1,000 mm
UPS lead-acid battery cabinetLead-acid (VRLA) batteries only, e.g. 600 × 800 × 1,900 mm
Vending machineStandard snack or drinks machine, e.g. 1,830 × 900 × 850 mm
Large / double-bay cabinetUp to 1.5 m³, e.g. a 1,200 × 600 × 2,000 mm MCC section
Lithium-ion batteriesBattery cabinets, charging or storage
Something else, or many unitsRooms, production lines, fleets of machines

When a fire starts, what needs to happen?

Stand-alone controls detect and put out the fire on their own. Interfaced controls can also tell people, report faults and shut things down.

Just put the fire outNo alarms, signals or shutdowns needed
Put it out and tell someone or shut things downFire alarm, BMS, remote monitoring or machine shutdown
Not sureWe will help you decide

Would you need to know if it went off?

Think about whether the equipment is unattended or business-critical, and whether someone must be told about a fire or a fault.

YesUnattended, critical, or someone must be told
NoPutting the fire out is enough

Do you need a device with no batteries to check?

Both stand-alone options detect a fire and release the generator, with no wiring to the building.

YesFit and forget, with nothing to replace
NoLowest cost is the priority

Is there a fixed 24 V supply at the enclosure?

Or mains power nearby that a 24 V supply could run from.

YesA fixed 24 V DC supply is available, or can be
No, or not sureNo fixed power at the enclosure

Do you need any of these?

Smoke detection, more than one generator, sounders or strobes, or full fire and fault outputs.

Yes, one or moreFull interfaced control panel
NoHeat detection with signalling is enough

Option A · Stand-alone

BTA

Detects heat and releases the generator. No signalling or monitoring.

You need the fire put out with no signalling or shutdown, and a device with no batteries to check.

The BTA isn’t offered for small panels, so we recommend the FPC-5 V2 instead.

BTA product page

Option A · Stand-alone

FPC-5 V2

Thermal module with a bimetallic sensor. Detects and releases only.

You need the fire put out with no signalling or shutdown, so a stand-alone thermal control is the simplest, lowest-cost choice.

FPC-5 V2 product page

Option B · Interfaced

FPC-4R

Linear heat detection cable with an internal 3 V battery, so no fixed power is needed.

You need the system to signal, and either there is no fixed 24 V supply at the enclosure or heat detection is all you need.

FPC-4R product page

Option B · Interfaced

FPC-2V2

24 V panel. Linear heat and/or smoke detection, four monitored generator outputs, fire and fault contacts.

You need more than heat detection and release: smoke detection, several generators, sounders or strobes, or full fire and fault outputs.

Lithium-ion needs a specific risk assessment

Lithium-ion batteries behave very differently in a fire, so they need their own assessment. See our lithium-ion site for charging safes, suppression lockers and engineered systems, or talk to us.

Notes to be read with the table above

  1. These are guideline prices only. They exclude competent installation labour and any other equipment.
  2. Guideline prices are per enclosure. For multiple enclosures, please enquire: volume discounts are available.
  3. Installation pricing can be obtained from any approved installation ambassador. Contact us and we will put you in touch.
  4. Labour rates may vary with region, access, working hours and other site factors.
  5. The contract is between the installer and the customer. FirePro equipment is supplied to the chosen installer only.
  6. System design, installation, commissioning, handover and maintenance are the responsibility of the installer.
  7. Option A, stand-alone: suppression inside the enclosure releases at a set temperature threshold, with no signalling or interface.
  8. Option B, interfaced: suppression inside the enclosure releases at a set smoke or temperature threshold, with external signalling.
  9. Protection for lithium-ion batteries needs a specific risk assessment. Please enquire.
  10. Enclosures must be reasonably sealed. Vents or forced airflow may need extra agent and/or a fan shutdown.
  11. Prices exclude VAT and delivery, and are correct as of November 2026.
