VERSATILE APPLICATIONS

Life-threatening and dangerous fires occur frequently in the round-the-clock, punishingly demanding and gritty mining environment. Protecting surface vehicles, mobile equipment, and electrical components from fire is made even more critical due to the presence of large quantities of flammable diesel fuel, hydraulic fluids and lubricating oils. Hot exhausts and turbo chargers often combined with electrical hazards provide the necessary ingredients for a fire to erupt, causing extensive damage to equipment, loss of production, and potential injury or death.

Fire protection of railroads is critically important as the risk of a catastrophic fire to human life and property continues to be a major concern, both in the public sector and in private operations.

Downtime and replacement costs of a damaged locomotive demand that a simple, stable, durable fire suppression solution be implemented. These fires are unpredictable and often difficult to avoid. In recent years, awareness of this issue has grown tremendously, and automatic fire suppression is more and more often required by regulation or strongly recommended as an economical and sensible solution.

Most rail fires occur in electric drives, diesel fuel and electric engine compartments, hybrid battery stations, hydraulics, electric control cabinets and braking mechanisms of the locomotive. Cylinder heads and oil filter chambers are especially at risk.

Fire protection of these areas is complicated by the limited space and the heavy wear and tear of these vehicles. The railroad environment is typically subject to constant vibrations, great changes in humidity and temperature, and dusty and dirt-filled tracks. All of these combine to make Stat-X an ideal fire suppression solution for the rolling stock industry.

ADVANCED TECHNOLOGYStat-X highly-advanced fire suppression technology offers the most compact and economical fire extinguishing solution available for a wide variety of industries. A Stat-X unit consists of an extremely rugged, hermetically sealed, stainless steel canister containing a stable, solid aerosol-forming compound. The canister is durable and non-pressurised, and is capable of withstanding the harsh, corrosive environment of a mine. In the event of a fire, the Stat-X units release ultra-fine particles and propellant inert gases which quickly and effectively extinguish fires without depleting oxygen levels and with no negative impact on the environment.

VERSATILE SOLUTIONStat-X units are available either as electrically activated units which can be integrated with a variety of fire detection and control systems, or as thermally-activated units, requiring no external power source. Stat-X units are capable of protecting all high fire risk applications for example all component areas of a mine, including engine compartments, hydraulics compartments, generators, pumps, electrical systems and compartments of heavy equipment vehicles, draglines, shovels, drilling jumbos, switch gear rooms and control rooms.

HIGHLY ECONOMICALStat-X® generators are highly compact yet extremely effective fire suppression units. They are easy to install and require very little maintenance. The units do not have any pressurized cylinders and no pipework is required to distribute the aerosol fire suppressant throughout the special hazard areas. This simple and robust design significantly saves maintenance costs. Further, the fire suppressant agent is non-corrosive, non-conductive and has little residue, so in the case of a fire and discharge, downtime, cleanup and repair costs are kept to a minimum. Stat-X units may also be replaced quickly and easily, further reducing costly delays in the event of a fire.

STAT-X Extinguishing units are compact and modular

DESCRIPTIONThe Solo Ultra has effectively eliminated spurious activation which can occasionally be caused by the inherent characteristics of microprocessors, semiconductor power switches. Tamper evident tag technology and strict electronic design rules have proven highly effective. To eliminate the inherent hazards of microprocessor control, the Solo Ultra uses a fully parallel path programmable logic device, which is coded using a language called VHDL, commissioned by US DOD and used for high reliability and safety critical applications.

FEATURES � Dual Linear heat or point detection loops with full fault monitoring. � Can be programmed for:

– Manual only – Single stage detection, alarm and release – Full Two stage detection, alarm and release

� Automatic Engine/fuel/fan shutoff capability via volt free contacts. � Variable time delay for actuation. � Suppression activation button with anti-tamper tag. � Universal 12 or 30 V DC electrical power. � Low power consumption in “PARKED/MOORED” mode. � Full fault monitoring on all detector and extinguisher circuits. � Supports up to 6 Stat-X fire extinguishers. � The unit is reverse polarity, transient and EMC protected. � An internal alarm sounder and relay drive additional external audible alarm units up to 2 Amps. Uncommitted relay change-

over contacts for interface with fuel shutoff, engine/fan shutdown etc.

SOLO ULTRA EXTINGUISHING PANEL

DESCRIPTIONThe Solo Sovereign is a totally self-contained fire suppression system detection and release control panel. The Sovereign can be used with a variety of thermal switching type detectors and will activate of up to 3 Stat-X units of any size. Extreme low power design gives extended battery life and individual units may be linked to form a system.

FEATURES � A small, self-contained battery powered unit with >3 year battery life. Battery life will be dependent

on ambient temperature exposure. � Powered with a widely available CR123a (replaceable) 3 V lithium camera cell. � The Sovereign supports the actuation of 1 to 3 Stat-X units of any size. These being interconnected

in series with each other. � Environmentally protected lP65 polycarbonate box with transparent lid and integral 10 mm gland. � Comprehensive cell monitoring, and self test for faults and circuit continuity. � Each Sovereign unit can be linked into an “all-fire” system where one-of-many detectors operates

all the Stat-X units in the system. � External thermal switches or linear heat sensors may be used, as well as self-contained battery

operated optical smoke detectors with a set of volt-free contacts that close on detection of an alarm condition.
