The MZX SensorLaser™ Plus guarantees fast and continuous fire detection even in difficult and varying ambient conditions. This linear heat detection system enables long and heavily fragmented facilities such as traffic and supply tunnels, cable routes and conveyor belts as well as large scale buildings such as production halls, cold stores and multi storey car parks to be monitored at all times. The MZX SensorLaser™ Plus is ideal for use in areas that are hard or impossible to access after installation, e.g. false floors, since maintenance and troubleshooting can be carried out from the control unit.
The fibre optic sensor cable itself is maintenance free and, thanks to its particularly robust characteristics, offers a high level of security against false alarms. The sensor cable is insensitive to dust, dirt, moisture, high temperatures (up to approx. 90 °C), pressure and the action of vibration and wind as well as corrosive atmospheres. Because of its purely passive, optical analysis process, the MZX SensorLaser™ Plus is even immune from electromagnetic interference caused by generators, energy routes, cables or electric motors.
The MZX SensorLaser™ Plus delivers precise information about the location, size and spread of a fire even under ambient conditions that would cause other fire detection systems to fail.
The MZX SensorLaser™ Plus enables a measuring range of up to 8 km per sensor cable. Up to 2 spurs each with an 8 km measurement range, or 1 loop with an 8 km range can be connected. Since the ambient conditions in a monitoring area of this size can vary enormously, each sensor cable can be divided into up to 256 zones. Several alarm criteria can be freely defined in each zone. This level of precision adjustment allows the MZX SensorLaser™ Plus to provide a high level of resistance to false alarms and precise fire detection despite contrary and variable ambient conditions.
The accessible laser radiation emitted by the Class 1M laser is not hazardous to the eyes (provided there are no other optical instruments in the path of the beam), while operation is absolutely fail-safe even in the event of a break in the cable. In addition, the sensor cable can be used in explosive atmospheres (ATEX zones) up to zone 0 without any additional measures being required. In contrast to conventional fibre optic systems, the low laser output of < 20mW ensures that the measuring system has a long service life.
