Automatic Fire Protection Unit magic vac MAUS Stixx PRO 5 — 0.5 m³ capacity

magic vac MAUS Stixx PRO 5 is an automatic fire protection unit rated for a protected volume of 0.5 m³. The unit combines a detection element and an integrated suppression agent in a compact self-contained module intended for rapid, automatic activation in confined spaces such as server racks, electrical cabinets, small plant rooms and other enclosed compartments. It is designed for continuous standby operation and automatic discharge without external power or manual intervention when a fire is detected within its protection volume.

Advantages

The MAUS Stixx PRO 5 provides localized automatic fire detection and suppression in a compact, factory-sealed module, simplifying installation and maintenance compared with distributed detection and suppression systems. Its small footprint and self-contained design reduce the need for wiring, external detectors and separate suppression reservoirs. The unit’s automatic activation ensures a fast response to incipient fires inside cabinets and equipment enclosures while minimizing risk of collateral damage to nearby components due to targeted suppression.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Protection of individual server racks and network cabinets
• Fire suppression inside electrical control panels and distribution cabinets
• Small plant rooms or machinery enclosures with a protected volume up to 0.5 m³
• Equipment cabinets in telecommunications and broadcast installations

When it may not be suitable

The MAUS Stixx PRO 5 is intended for enclosed spaces up to the specified 0.5 m³ volume; it is not suitable as a primary fire protection solution for large rooms, open areas or volumes that exceed its rating. For applications requiring supervised detection, integration with a building fire alarm system, or central control of multiple zones, a conventional detection and suppression system with external wiring and control interfaces may be more appropriate.

Key specifications

• Protected volume rating: 0.5 m³
• Operation: automatic, self-contained activation upon fire detection
• Installation type: localised mounting inside enclosed compartments and cabinets
• Design focus: compact footprint for confined spaces

How to use

Mount the unit inside the enclosure to be protected according to the manufacturer’s positioning guidance so the sensing element is exposed to the protected volume. Ensure the enclosure is closed and reasonably sealed to maintain the rated protected volume. The MAUS Stixx PRO 5 requires no external power for activation; it remains in standby until the integral detection mechanism senses a fire condition and triggers the suppression discharge. After activation, follow the manufacturer’s service and replacement procedure to remove the spent unit and install a replacement module to restore protection.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the protected enclosure volume does not exceed 0.5 m³
• Confirm compatibility with the enclosure type (server rack, electrical cabinet, etc.) and available mounting space
• Consider whether central alarm integration or supervised detection is required for your installation
• Plan for replacement and servicing after any activation; the unit is disposable once discharged

Usage recommendations

Install one MAUS Stixx PRO 5 per enclosed compartment that falls within the 0.5 m³ rating, position it to allow unobstructed exposure of the sensing element to the protected volume, and follow local fire safety regulations for selection, placement, and post-activation replacement.
