Abstract
A wall-mountable spray head unit for delivering a fire suppressant liquid is disclosed. The spray head unit includes a rotatable spray head assembly having a spray manifold rotatable about a first axis, and a spray nozzle supported by the spray manifold and orientated to deliver fire-suppressant material radially in a plane defined by the first axis and a second axis which is perpendicular to the first axis. The spray head unit also includes one or more fire-locating, sensors including a visible-light camera, a microphone, or both.

A wall-mountable spray head unit comprising:
- a rotatable spray head assembly which comprises:
- a spray manifold rotatable about a first axis;
- and
- a spray nozzle supported by the spray manifold and orientated to deliver fire-suppressant material radially in a plane defined by the first axis and a second axis which is perpendicular to the first axis;
- one or more fire-locating sensors;
- at least one output device including a first output device, wherein the at least one output device is integrated into a faceplate of the wall-mountable spray head unit;
- a controller configured to cause the first output device to output real-time information;
- and
- at least one input device including a first input device integrated into the faceplate, wherein the spray head unit is configured to cease deployment of the fire-suppressant material in response to a user input to the first input device within a pre-set period.
