The alternative that we offer has:
Halotron BrX filled units. The extinguishing performance of this agent is accepted as replacement for HALON 1211 and HALON 2402.
As the bottle is different ( +60 gr for the 2,27 Kg bottle), also the bracket needs to be changed. Total weight is ca 2,5 Kg, which is similar or less then the typical current installation.
Also larger size bottle can be considered ( upto 12,5 lbs).
