The extinguishing agent is 3M Novec 1230 fire protection fluid, the extinguishing effect of which is based on cooling. Novec 1230 is liquid in the bottle and turns into gas when the pressure is released. It evaporates quickly and leaves no residue.
The extinguisher is preferably installed in a vertical position so that the extinguishing agent can discharge as freely as possible into the space to be protected. The extinguisher must not be installed completely horizontally, but care must be taken that the trigger head/gas discharge head is at the top in all situations.
