E2S Warning Signals has unveiled its new H1 range of heat detectors, designed specifically for use in hazardous environments.
As reported by E2S, the H1 range has obtained global certifications, including UL, cUL, IECEx, and ATEX standards, ensuring its compliance with explosion-proof, flameproof, increased safety, and intrinsically safe protection measures.
The H1 detectors are available in various configurations, including models from the D1x and D2x families, housed in marine-grade LM6 aluminum enclosures, the STEx family with stainless steel enclosures, and the GNEx family featuring GRP enclosures.
These options provide users with flexibility depending on their specific operational needs.
The detectors are also certified for use in multiple zones, such as Zone 0, 1, 2, 21, 22, and Class I/II Division 1 and Division 2 environments.
The E2S H1 heat detector range is designed to ensure a high level of safety and reliability in hazardous conditions.
The detectors feature UL521 and CAN/ULC-S530 approvals, along with SIL2 compliance per IEC61508 (2010).
These certifications attest to the product’s suitability for environments where potential fire hazards are present, such as industrial sites.
The detectors incorporate flameproof and intrinsically safe protection variants, ensuring their robust functionality in areas prone to explosions.
The H1 range is designed for primary use in fire and gas detection systems, delivering early heat sensing to trigger automatic detection and suppression systems when overheat or fire conditions are detected.
The H1 heat detectors are built with industry-standard Detect-A-Fire® (D-A-F) rate compensated heat detector elements.
These elements include stainless steel housings and hermetically sealed contacts, which enhance durability and resistance to environmental factors.
The H1 range can operate across a broad range of temperatures, making it adaptable to various harsh environments.
Each version of the H1 detector is rated with IP66/67, Type 4/4X/13/3R sealing, ensuring they can withstand extreme conditions.
Optional features, such as a protective guard for the detector element and the availability of LED indicators for alarm conditions, provide additional customization.
Some versions also offer factory-installed addressable modules, enhancing the detectors’ functionality within complex systems.
The H1 range offers a wide variety of variants to meet the demands of different industries and applications.
Depending on the operational requirements, users can choose between models with flameproof, increased safety, or intrinsically safe protection, providing flexibility in meeting the needs of hazardous areas.
In terms of installation, the detectors are delivered as complete, approved assemblies, combining E2S’s termination enclosures with heat detector elements.
This ensures a fully certified solution for heat detection in areas prone to fire or gas hazards.
As stated on the E2S website, additional technical details and comparisons with traditional fixed or rate-of-rise detectors are available in the associated technical bulletin.
