A vehicle fire suppression system comprising: a centralized controller; at least one input bus coupled to the centralized controller; at least one output bus coupled to the centralized controller; at least one fire detection circuit including a plurality of fire detection devices and at least one manual actuating device; the fire detection circuit being coupled to the at least one input bus for monitoring of the fire detection circuit; at least one releasing circuit having at least one actuating device for electric and pneumatic release of an extinguishment, the releasing circuit being coupled to the at least one output bus for monitoring of the releasing circuit; an alarm coupled to at least one controller for providing an audio signal indicating the status of the system along any one of the detection circuit and the releasing circuit; and at least one user interface device coupled to the centralized controller to program at least one of the plurality of detection devices (32, 34) or the at least one actuating device to define operational parameters including any one of threshold levels, time delays, or discharge sequences and patterns, the at least one user interface includes at least one LED indicator to indicate the status of the system including a normal status, a fire detection condition, and a release condition, the at least one user interface includes at least two toggle buttons to any one of input, select, edit, reset the operational parameters of the plurality of detection devices (32, 34) and the at least one actuating device, the at least two toggle buttons include a manual actuating button for sending a manual actuating signal to the at least one actuating device and a silence button for the audio signal, wherein the at least two toggle buttons include a first toggle button being the manual actuating device the at least two toggle buttons include a second toggle button being the silence button, and wherein at least one LED indicator includes a first LED indicator and a second LED indicator, the first toggle button in combination with the first LED indicator having a first scheme to indicate a manual release condition, characterized in that the second toggle button programs the controller to define a release time delay defining the time duration between a fire detection condition and a release of the extinguishment in response to the fire detection condition, the first LED indicator being configured to pulse at a first frequency for a first portion of the release time delay, the first LED indicator being configured to pulse at a second frequency different than the first frequency for a second portion of the release time delay. a centralized controller;
