gas and fire detection
control panels has been extended to
include an ATEX certified Exd
Flameproof version, the Vortex FP,
which can be used in Zone 1 and
Zone 2 hazardous areas.
Capable of monitoring up to 12 gas detectors, the Vortex FP is also compatible with smoke/heat and flame detectors. Up to three of its input channels can be used for fire detection. Each channel has one fault and three alarm levels which can be combined to trigger up to 32 output relays, allowing connection to external alarms and safety devices such as fans or valves. Intrinsically safe (IS) safety barriers can also be incorporated for use with IS gas or fire detectors. It can be customised to meet site requirements.
