In reference to the P-2000. I have a system very simular to it. What I
had done was I speced out the P-2000 and gave it to my engineering
department for a class project. Compared to the $8500.00 not including
the shipping, the project cost our department approx. $1500.00. There
are many features the same. The ignitor box is the same box as Symtron
used. The engineering department also had to follow codes in the LP
book and other places. My control counsel has a high low switch (which
allows for one flame or two flames), on off switch and an emergency stop
button. The counsel can move up to approx. 30 feet from the actual burn
area and has the gas tank next to it with quick disconnect hoses that
run from the counsel to the unit. The unit is made with stainless steel
as well. I also had them place another pan under it so when the
chemical is sprayed into the unit it would be kept mostly in the pan
instead of on the ground, of course you will have the residue that
floats outside of the unit. I believe this is a good unit and I would
be more than happy to share anything you need.
Have a blessed day,

Certainly. The FireTrainer P-2000 is manufactured by Symtron Systems,
Inc,
17-01 Pollitt Drive, Fair Lawn, New Jersey 07410 (1-800-288-3973). We
purchased ours from AAI Corp., Inc, PO Box 126, Hunt Valley, MD 21030,
for
about $8500.
The PFE live fire training simulator is gas-fired, is basically two
pieces
joined with hoses, and it comes with two props--one to simulate a trash
can
fire and the other to simulate an electric motor fire. All of the pieces
involved with the fire are stainless steel, and they are easily cleaned.
The
control component looks like a free-standing lectern with wheels, and
has an
emergency shut-off, a keyed switch, and an ignition switch. The platform
contains an automatic sensor which detects an extinguishing agent and
stops
the flame.
A new unit comes with an owner's manual and a how-to video. This unit is
a
very safe, controlled, and environmentally friendly way to conduct
live-fire
PFE training.
