Det-tronics launches X3301 Multispectrum Infrared Flame Detector

by Products

Det-tronics has released the X3301 Multispectrum Infrared Flame Detector, which, when equipped with the unique dual-stage automotive mode and combined with the Eagle Quantum Premier® (EQP) Safety System Controller, delivers the level of detection/protection needed for this application as defined by NFPA 33.

The current requirement in fire/loss prevention for automotive paint lines is to use independent alarm action to initiate a two-stage extinguishing process. In the first stage of this extinguishing process, the painting operation is shut down. Sometimes, this action is combined with the discharge of a gaseous suppression agent. If this first action does not successfully extinguish the fire, the second stage of suppression, typically water deluge, is initiated.

The dual-stage response is designed to minimise process interruption in case of a fire. If the first stage extinguishes the fire, use of a water deluge is eliminated, minimising downtime and loss. If the first stage of action fails to extinguish the fire, the second stage of action (water deluge) is executed to prevent catastrophic damage and loss.

The X3301 automotive mode meets these requirements by providing independent outputs to activate these two stages of mitigation. This important feature helps minimise the losses associated with the consequences of executing an extinguishing event when it is unnecessary.

Features

  • Multiple sensitivity modes
  • Optical Integrity (oi®) performs automatic fail-safe checks every 60 seconds
  • Heated optics for adverse environments and weather
  • Data logger with event time and date stamping (1500 events)
  • Longest FM Approved detection range

Technical Specifications

  • Multiple communication protocols, including 0-20 mA, relay, Modbus, HART, FDT®/DTM and Eagle Quantum Premier® (EQP) safety system
  • Diagnostic LED for local alarm and simple fault identification
  • Large capacity event log storage (1,500 events)
  • HART capable

Vimpex announces new brochure ‘Door Holders, Closers & Fire Door Accessories’

by Fire DoorsPassiveProducts

The Vimpex range of Wired and Wire-Free Door Holders and accessories offers the installer the broadest choice of mounting styles and holding power. Mounted onto a fixed surface, these door holders ensure retention of the fire door by means of a smart metallic keeper plate and is interfaced with the fire alarm system.

When it comes to building specification, ensuring there are appropriate fire safety measures in place to protect occupants is a top priority.

Wired and Wire-Free Door Holders are arguably the single most important fire safety mechanism, guard against the lethal spread of toxic smoke and fumes – by far the greatest cause of death in fires.

Keeping a fire door propped open is illegal. Makeshift stoppers prevent the closing of the door – allowing smoke and fire to spread throughout the building making it difficult for occupants to escape and become overwhelmed with smoke.

Door Holders are de-energised as soon as the fire is detected thus releasing the door without a potentially harmful delay. This also allows a door to be safely kept open if needed and automatically closed during a fire.

Interactive Valve and System Configurator from Viking Group

by Products

Viking Group has introduced a digital tool that assists its users in the configuration of Viking valve and trim selections. The new “Valve and System Configurator” simplifies the complex process of identifying and ordering the proper valve and trim combination for virtually any fire protection challenge.

The configurator, which can be accessed at http://webtools.vikingcorp.com/valveconfig/, allows customers to interactively build a complete system riser for Viking’s wet, dry, deluge and precaution systems. Additional systems, including flow control, pressure regulation, and Firecycle®, will be added in the spring.

“Viking offers hundreds, if not thousands, of valve and trim combinations,” said Jeff Norton, Vice President of Marketing for Viking Group. “Our digital solutions team worked tirelessly to ensure that this tool saves time and produces just the right solution for our customers’ needs.”

In the configurator, customers first select their desired system type. Next, the configurator walks the user through selecting an appropriate valve, trim set, and available system options. Throughout the configuration process, a representative 3D model of the system is dynamically rendered, allowing the specific system to be analysed from any angle.

After all the selections are made, a summary is generated with a complete bill of materials including part number, description, and quantity. This list can be sent to Viking SupplyNet automatically for quoting.

Finally, a zip file is provided that contains all related technical documentation for the system riser, including technical data sheets, trim diagrams, and friction loss charts.
