Flammable gases, mists, vapours or combustible dusts, together with a source of ignition creates an explosive atmosphere.
Warning of fire should be provided at the very earliest moment to help to avoid the risk of potential life loss, serious injuries, business disruption and significant damage. Using the correct equipment can help greatly in this.
For a proven range of Ex compliant detection solutions, we chose Swiss manufacturer, Securiton. In an environment where smoke detection is suitable, the Securiton ASD 535 aspirating fire detection system provides efficient, reliable, and programmable detection of the finest particles of smoke.

For environments containing ambient powder or dust, (which may render smoke detection unsuitable), we offer the Securiton ADW 535 linear heat sensing tube system with the Ex modules. This is an incredibly versatile system that monitors changes of local air pressure and provides programmable outputs for alarm signalling. Click here for specification details.
