M600Ex Fire Detection Range


Our sophisticated Ex system for use in hazardous
atmospheres, introduces to the market a range of
conventional I.S. fire detectors. In addition to the
unobtrusive size and styled shape, a number of
design features have been incorporated including
single visit to the ceiling installation and a service and
maintenance detector park position.

High Performance Optical Smoke Detector


MR601TEx
These detectors react to the whole range of fire products from slow
smouldering fires, producing visible particles to open flaming fires
producing large numbers of very hot smaller sized aerosols. It
combines optical and heat detector technology to detect clear burning
fire products which hitherto could only be easily detected by
ion-chamber detectors.

For normal ambient conditions, the high performance optical detector


behaves as a normal optical detector. Only when a rapid rise in
temperature is detected does the sensitivity of the detector increase
and the presence of smoke will confirm a fire condition which will be
transmitted as an alarm level.

Heat Detector MD601Ex and MD611Ex


These 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.

The rate of rise/fixed temperature heat detectors can be used in areas


where smoke sensors are unsuitable due to environmental conditions
(smoke, dust etc.). Such areas include kitchens, locker rooms,
canteens, garages, loading bays etc.

Enhanced Carbon Monoxide Fire and Heat Detector


MDU601Ex
The MDU601Ex detector is a combined CO and Rate-of-Rise Heat
detector where the sensitivity of the CO detector is enhanced in
response to a fast rate of change of temperature.

Maybe used in dusty environments instead of the MR601TEx Detector
