    • Floor                          Floor to which this object is assigned (see Floor Management).
    • Advanced properties: Calls up the object-specific propertiesdialog  (see Edit/Change via Properties dialog).


  • Sprinkler category:

In this section the non-geometric data of the sprinkler can be entered:

    • K-factor [l/(min*bar)]: K-factor of the sprinkler.
    • Discharge density: Discharge density in [mm/min].
    • Protection area: Required protection area in [m²] of the sprinkler
    • Spray radius: spray radius of each sprinkler marked with a circle
    • Minimum pressure [bar]: minimum pressure required at the sprinkler in [bar].
    • Number: number of the sprinkler.
    • Comment: Description of the sprinkler in calculation (appears in table remarks)
    • Symbol display top view: Number of the symbol display, which is used to show the sprinklers in the top view.(defined in symbol.cfg) 
    • Activated in design area: Identifies if the sprinkler is in design area or not
    • Number of design area: Number of the design area in which this sprinkler is lying


  • Supply pipe/ sprinkler connection category:

In this section the sprinkler supply pipe and the data of the supply pipes can be entered:

    • Diameter: diameter of the supply pipes
    • C value: C value of the supply pipes
    • Additional length: is added to the actual length as equivalent length (f.ex. flex hose)


The sprinkler number is automatically assigned by the program (each time a new sprinkler is entered, a new number is assigned by increasing the highest existing number by 1 and can be changed at this point. 

The sprinkler number is retained when the sprinkler is copied.
