There is a risk of fire or explosion in all areas containing flammable substances in the form of liquids, gases, dust or materials. Where these combustible
materials are mixed with air in sufficient concentration they form flammable atmospheres and the areas containing them are designated
Hazardous Areas. When a source of ignition, such as spark, is applied in a hazardous area, an explosion could take place.
Electrical equipment supplied for use in Hazardous Areas must comply with requirements to ensure that its introduction into the area does not increase the existing risk.
Tyco EMEA offer Intrinsically Safe (I.S.) systems and equipment for use in Hazardous Areas which can be connected to Fire Detection Systems installed in Safe Areas.
There are two System 600 systems available:
System 601 for use in conventional fire detection circuits
System 602 for use with MINERVA analogue addressable circuits.
Two Sounder Systems (one earthed and one isolated) are available for use with either of the two I.S. systems.
