    I got an issue of SEA-FIRE FM-200 system on yacht, please help.

    Every time i put the SEA-FIRE system's power on , after two hours the alarm of saloon and crew and main helm will ring but we did not get any fire on yacht, and the accommodation light on SEA-FIRE panel will light.

    Is the system being triggered by a detector in the loop somewhere or is there a voltage problem?

    Is this a single bottle in the engine room? If so it's "armed" all the time in that if there fire in the ER then the bottle will discharge. It has a tiny glass vial which breaks (due to heat) and the bottle discharges. The vial can also be broken thus discharging the bottle with the manual remote cable. You should have a manual over-ride switch/unit activation alarm near the helm to restart the engines as they will shut down upon discharge. If you have alarms for the differing areas of the vessel then look further into K1w1's suggestions.
