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, Oil Rigs/Platforms, FPSO’s.

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.
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.
MR601TEx Optical Smoke + Heat Detector
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.
MU601Ex Carbon Monoxide Fire Detectors
The MU601Ex 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.
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 detection.
Zone 2 Hazardous Area Applications
Type “n” equipment can be used to protect Zone 2 applications with gas group IIC hazards. It differs from Intrinsically Safe equipment in that no safety barriers or other interfacing equipment is required thus making available an economical solution for the protection of potentially hazardous areas.
