It's a Cease Fire halon model, we're using it in a passive capacity. My understanding is that it just opens up when the little sensor melts. It's not tied into the building's fire alarm panel.

Yea that a standard sprinkler head, what happens is when a set temp is reached the glass vial breaks dropping the retaining disk and then the extinguishing agent releases and hits the fan on the bottom of the head and spreads out.

For what it is worth the red color of the vial indicates it is designed to open at 155 degrees.
