Usually it is something else related to it Craig. What is the make, manufacturer and year of the sprinkler? I have files on sprinkler ops and several do have a history of operating without known causes.

Static pressure on this industrial system is 150 psi, and a surge tank was installed a couple of years back to mitigate alleged pressure spikes. Anyone heard of sprinklers opening due to a pressure spike? It was only one head out of multiple hundreds in the building. Craig L.
