New Addressable Smoke Module Adds Capabilities to Det-Tronics Fire- and Gas-Safety Controller

MINNEAPOLIS, June 05, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Det-Tronics has introduced a new addressable smoke module (ASM) for the Eagle Quantum Premier^® (EQP) fire- and gas-safety controller. The new ASM extends the capability of the EQP and fulfills the requirement for marine-rated and certified Safety Integrity Level (SIL) 2-capable and Intrinsically Safe (IS) devices. This permits a single system to protect both hazardous and non-hazardous areas within a plant, minimizing the complexity and the number of fire and gas safety subsystems required.  Det-Tronics, a global leader in fire- and gas-safety systems, is a part of UTC Climate, Controls & Security, a unit of United Technologies Corp. UTX.

The EQP fire-and gas-safety system provides continuous supervision between flame, gas and fire detection products and the EQP controller.

The hazardous location-certified EQP fire- and gas-safety controller is a flexible, distributed intelligence safety system that provides flame and gas detection, alarm signaling, fault notification and extinguishing agent release control. It integrates communications on a reliable, fault-tolerant, digital network. Devices supported include smoke, heat and carbon monoxide detectors, manual call points, sounders, beacons, and input/output modules. 

"Each EQP controller supports up to 10 addressable smoke modules, which allows for the seamless integration of up to 1,000 devices," said Buff Crosley, systems product manager, Det-Tronics. "With the ability to protect high-hazard and occupied spaces with a single, unified system that is certified SIL 2-capable, the EQP fire- and gas-safety system simplifies operations by reducing architecture complexity, programming and maintenance."

Like the EQP, the ASM is hazardous-location rated by FM, CSA, ATEX, IECEx, is FM performance approved, and CE marked. The result is a fire- and gas-safety controller that can incorporate smoke detection, flame detection, combustible and toxic gas detection, as well as other detection technologies for critical process applications into a single safety system.
