Intrinsically Safe & Explosion Proof

An Overview of Hochiki's Conventional Intrinsically Safe & Explosion Proof Range.

What is Intrinsic Safety

For an electrical product to be ‘Intrinsically Safe' it must be incapable of igniting an explosive atmosphere by either spark or heat. This is achieved by ensuring only low currents and voltages enter the hazardous area, and therefore the whole circuit must be considered, not just the device in isolation.

 

An ‘Intrinsically Safe Circuit' therefore must restrict the electrical and thermal energy such that ignition of a hazardous atmosphere (explosive gas or dust) cannot occur.

 

Our Intrinsically Safe & Explosion-Proof Range

Hochiki's Intrinsically Safe and Explosion Proof range of products has been designed and produced to ensure that all the great benefits of Hochiki's high quality fire detection technology can be safely operated within industrial and hazardous environments.

 

Hochiki's Intrinsically Safe detectors and hazardous area products have been certified by BASEEFA to IECEx and ATEX.

Diverse range of products

 

The Hochiki ATEX approved portfolio of Intrinsically Safe products offers the installer and system designer flexibility and reliability whilst strictly conforming to requirements of fire detection in hazardous areas.

Detectors

 

Our Intrinsically Safe conventional detectors range offers smoke or heat detection, specially designed for use inside the hazardous area. A common IS base is also available.

Barriers

 

Our range of barriers provides the integral link between the fire detection system in the safe zone and those I.S. products within the hazardous zone.

Manual Call Points

 

Our range of Intrinsically Safe manual call points includes an internal and a weatherproof option, both can be utilised within the hazardous area.

Infrared Flame Detectors

 

Our IR3 flame detectors are specially designed for use in the hazardous area and include an explosion-proof housing variant.
