What types of systems can be installed on mobile equipment?

The correct answer is that only pre-engineered systems with listed detection can be installed on mobile equipment. This is because pre-engineered systems are specifically designed and tested to function effectively in mobile environments where fire hazards can be unique due to movement, vibration, and space limitations. These systems are often compact, easy to install, and reliable, ensuring that they provide adequate protection under the conditions faced by mobile equipment.

When these systems include listed detection, it means they have been verified to meet safety and performance standards to activate effectively in the presence of fire, ensuring timely response. This is particularly important in mobile settings, where the risk of fire can arise from various operational factors.

In contrast, manually operated systems may not provide the immediate response needed in a mobile scenario, as they rely on human intervention. Home-use fire extinguishers are not suitable for mobile equipment due to their design which is tailored for fixed, residential settings, lacking the necessary features for effective operation in moving environments. Additionally, while any standard fire extinguishing system could theoretically be applicable, not all of them have the necessary certifications or designs to effectively manage the fire risks associated with mobile equipment.
