Intrinsically safe fire detection equipment is defined as "equipment and wiring which is incapable of releasing sufficient electrical or thermal energy under normal or abnormal conditions to cause ignition of a specific hazardous atmosphere mixture in its most easily ignited concentration".
This basically means that intrinsically safe equipment and wiring operates using electrical and thermal energy below the level that would be required to spark an explosion in a hazardous area such as an oil refinery.
801CHEx Carbon Monoxide + Heat Detector The 801CHEx is a state-of-the-art intrinsically safe carbon monoxide and heat detector which allows a full set of detection modes to be implemented in the MX detection panel to suit most fire and heat detection applications.
801HEx Heat Detector The 801HEx is a flexible cost-effective addressable intrinsically safe heat detector with all the features of MX VIRTUAL detectors.
801PHEx Optical Smoke + Heat Detector The 801PHEx is a state-of-the-art intrinsically safe smoke and heat detector which allows a full set of detection modes to be implemented in the MX detection panel to suit most smoke and heat detection applications.
MD601Ex & MD611Ex Heat Detectors The MD601Ex & MD611Ex intrinsically safe heat detectors use two networked thermistors in a bridge configuration to provide a fast response that depends both on absolute temperature and rate of rise of temperature.
MDU601Ex Carbon Monoxide + Heat Detector The MDU601Ex intrinsically safe detector combines the features of both the MU601Ex detector and the MD601Ex detector to provide a combined CO and Rate-of-Rise Heat detector.
MR601TEx Optical Smoke + Heat Detectors The MR601TEx is an intrinsically safe detector that combines optical and heat detector technology to detect slow smouldering fires,
open flaming fires and clear burning fire products which hitherto could only be easily detected by ion-chamber detectors.
801FEx Flame Detectors The 801FEx point type flame detector forms part of the MXTechnology® range of digital addressable fire detectors. It is a full featured solar blind flame detector for indoor use and boasts a high degree of false alarm immunity.
601FEx Flame Detectors The 601FEx is a full featured intrinsically safe solar blind flame detectors for indoor use and boast a high degree of false alarm immunity.
