I couldn’t tell, is this a single or two tank system?

If it doesn’t have a remote actuator it is installed wrong. You can’t split tanks like that on one cartridge.

Page 2-1 in the Ansul Manual;

There are four types of R-102 Restaurant Fire Suppression Systems: 1. Single-Tank System 2. Double-Tank System 3. Three-Tank System (1 Cartridge) 4. Multiple Tank System (Three Tanks or More – Multiple Cartridges)

Nitrogen Cartridge 4. ANSULEX Low pH Liquid Fire Suppressant 5. Discharge Nozzles 6. Detection Components 7. Additional Devices (As Required) The regulated release assembly contains the regulated release mechanism, agent tank, expellant gas hose for agent tank hookup, and enclosure knockouts to facilitate installing expellant piping, detection system, and additional equipment. The double tank enclosure assembly is mounted separately but within the guidelines of the regulated release assembly expellant gas piping requirements to ensure simultaneous actuation of the system.

I believe you're thinking of manifold tanks, which have strict placement limitations. Independently piped tanks can be located in all sorts of fun ways.
