EM-FCS – SPARK DETECTION AND EXTINGUISHMENT

• MODEL: EM-FCS-CU1610. BASE UNIT IS CAPABLE OF PROTECTING UP TO 5 DUCTS • Includes IP55 rated (Dust Tight) enclosure, battery back-up as well as audible and visual alarms • Allows for double security protection in 5 ducts (E.G. Detect / Extinguish / Detect / FireBreak) • Modular design allows for easy installation of additional modules for larger systems. • Can be connected to abort gates on return air lines for simultaneous abort or by re-detection after the

Dust Collector. • Can be connected to shut down dust collection equipment and to a building fire alarm system.

• SPARK DETECTORS OPERATE ON “PULSE COUNT” FEATURE TO ALLOW FOR

INSTALLATION IN METAL WORKING APPLICATIONS WITH HIGH NUMBER OF SPARKS

• OPTIONAL THERMAL MONITORING CONTROLS AND SENSORS

• COMPLETE EXTINGUISHING SOLUTIONS

• CURRENTLY BEING FM APPROVED AND IS ATEX CERTIFIED PENDING

EM-FCS – SPARK DETECTION AND EXTINGUISHMENT

EM-FCS-SD, SPARK DETECTORS ARE IP65 RATED (OUTDOOR) OPERATE ON INFRARED LIGHT AND FEATURE INTERNAL TEST LAMP FOR FUNCTIONALITY. EM-FCS-TL, EXTERNAL TEST LAMPS IP65 RATED (OUTDOOR) AND AN AVAILABLE OPTION TO TEST IF THE DETECTOR LENS IS COMPRISED BY A BUILD UP OF DUST EM-FCS-MK, MOUNTING KITS ARE REQUIRED FOR THE INSTALLATION OF THE SPARK DETECTORS AND TEST LAMPS EM-FCS-TP, THERMAL PROBE FOR ACTIVATION ON RAPID TEMPERATURE RISE AND/OR THRESHOLD

1) parallel to the duct (air flow)

2) perpendicular to the duct (air flow)

• For best results, it is recommended that at least 2 detectors be mounted on opposing sides of the ductwork

SPARK DETECTORS DETECT INFRARED LIGHT

“PULSE COUNT” FEATURE AVAILABLE IN CENTRAL CONTROL FOR APPLICATIONS WITH HIGH NUMBER OF SPARKS SPARK DETECTORS MUST BE INSTALLED WITH EM-FCS-MK MOUNTING KIIT

BAG BAG

EXAMPLE THERMAL PROBE LOCATIONS FOR DUST COLLECTORS AND SILOS

A minimum of 2 probes to be installed in as follows:

1) Dirty air inlet and air clean air outlet

2) 2 opposing probes installed in clean air plenum(above

filter bags)

3) 1 probe in clean air plenum (above filter bags) and 1 in the

dust collector hopper

4) Silos require 1 probe in clean air plenum (above filter

bags) and 1 in the internal storage area.

N.B. 1 Dust collectors longer than 16.5 ft (5m) should install

of 4 probes that are equally divided between filter and hopper

sections.

N.B. 2 for Silos / Dust Bins larger than 13 ft (4m) should

install 4 probes that are equally divided between filter and

storage sections

THERMAL PROBES MAY BE INSTALLED IN DUCTS.

Regardless of diameter, we recommend installing a probe

every 23 – 26 feet (7-8 meters)
