The pre-discharge alarm in a clean agent system is intended to achieve which outcome?

The pre-discharge alarm is a warning signal that prompts people to evacuate before any clean agent is released. Its purpose is to buy time for occupants to exit safely and for personnel to implement any necessary procedures, reducing the risk of exposure when the agent is eventually discharged. It isn’t about discharging immediately, nor is it a signal to do nothing or a warning issued after discharge. Because its core function is to alert and facilitate orderly evacuation, evacuating occupants is the best outcome.
