Hazardous areas exist where a potentially explosive mix of air and flammable gasses or air and dust or air, dust and gasses may occur.
Open pit. Opencast brown coal mine. Belt conveyor as industrial detail.
When installing any electrical equipment into the hazardous area you must ensure the products are safe for use and will not be an ignition source.
Signaline Linear Heat detection is no exception to this.
Signaline FT cables are a low cost and affective form of fire detection within hazardous areas. They are recognised as simple apparatus and thefore only require the protection of a intrinsically safe barrier to be made safe within the hazardous area.
The Signaline LocatorPlus allows end users to quickly identify the location of an alarm along a line of Signaline FT cable.
However, the LocatorPlus must not be used in the hazardous area, but with the integration of a barrier between the LocatorPlus and Signaline FT cables the LocatorPlus can still be used for hazardous areas.
Therefore Signaline can offer a fully approved, efficient and low cost fire detection system for even the harshest and most explosive areas.
