Arctic Directory March 2016: Det-Tronics releases explosion-proof smoke detector

Det-Tronics recently announced the release of a photoelectric explosion-proof rated smoke detector. The Det-Tronics SmokeWatch U5015 detector is a class I division 1, 2 and zone 1 explosion-proof rated smoke detector that is suitable for hazardous, industrial and commercial applications.

The Det-Tronics SmokeWatch smoke detector has a unique design that operates effectively in both smoldering and rapidly growing fires. The device is certified to FM 3230, the standard in smoke detection performance. The photoelectric operation and signal processing features of the detector are an enhanced smoke detection technology appropriate for either large, integrated environments or smaller installations.

In addition, the detector is certified to an IP44 ingress protection level, which makes the detector suitable for heavy industrial applications such as offshore oil rigs, wastewater treatment plants, and other high-hazard environments.

The SmokeWatch U5015 smoke detector can be integrated into process control systems or a conventional fire panel through outputs that include 0-20 mA, a localized LED, and relays. Through its self-checking circuitry, the detector communicates its health status by conducting automatic optical and electrical fail-safe checks every one second.
