Recording Detection Types on Kitchen Hood Systems

🔥 Overview

Kitchen Hood systems in Inspect Point now include a Detection Type field, allowing you to record how a kitchen hood suppression system is activated.

This field helps distinguish between mechanical, electric, and pneumatic detection systems and ensures that the detection type is documented on inspection reports.

🔧 Detection Type Options

The Detection Type dropdown includes three options:

• Mechanical
• Electric
• Pneumatic

This field is optional and can be left blank.

📍 Where to Set the Detection Type

You can select or update the Detection Type in the following locations:

Backend → Building Detail Screen → Suppression tab 

Locate the Kitchen Hood and select + Add Info under the Actions column. Locate the Detection Type dropdown, make your selection, and Save. 

iOS App → Inspection → Kitchen Hood  

Tap Hood Info, locate the Detection Type dropdown, make your selection, and Save. 

📄 Detection Type on Inspection Reports

Once a Detection Type has been selected, it will automatically appear in the Kitchen Hood section of the generated inspection report.

📌 Additional Information

• Existing Kitchen Hoods: The Detection Type field will initially be blank for existing Kitchen Hood systems. You can update this field at any time from the backend or iOS app.
• Inspection Questions: Selecting a Detection Type does not change the inspection questions associated with the Kitchen Hood system.
