TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Explosion Proof Spark
Detector
SCL-01
The EDS SCL01 Spark Detector is an electronic device suited to
detect spark in pipes and channels that transport varoius types of
combustible materials headed to a storing silo.
The execution is explosion proof EX-d IIC-T6 - ATEX certified.
So the detector is suitable to be installed in classified environments
where the installations must be explosion proof.
During the transporting phase, a spark, produced in the previous
manifacturing stages, can be transported mixed with the materials.
If this spark is not detected and neutralized very quickly, once it
arrives inside the silo, it can cause a fire or an explosion.
So the precise and quick detection of the spark, can be used to
prevent great damages and dangers to both people and things and
consequently to elevate the security level of the environment.
The SCL01 detector is able to reveal sparks that cross its viewing
range even if they have a great velocity (up to 100 km/h).
The detector is equipped with an optical head sensible to infrared
radiation, that has a viewing range of more than 90 degrees (solid
angle) and a suitable electronic circuit that provides for
amplification and processing of the signal.
When the SCL01 detector intercepts a spark it provides the
powering of a relay suitable to switch on optical and acoustic
alarms. Moreover a fire extinguishing system (splinker head
systems) can be activated.
For the former function it is suggested to use our EV 521 or
SCU04 control unit that has a great using flexibility.
ADVANTAGES
• signalling quickness and precision
• remote fuctioning test available
• solid metal box
• easy installation
• easy maintenance
APPLICATIONS
• wood industry:
sawdust
shavings
• textile industry:
cotton
all other fibres
• food industry:
cereals
If the pipes have a large diameter (over 0,5 m.) several SCL01
detectors can be used to obtain a better security level
.
If a water spraying automatic extinguishing system is also
present,the spark extinguishing can be verified.
If the transporting pipe has not a cylindric shape, for example
squared or rectangular, it can be necessary to use two opposed
detectors, to avoid dead zones external to the viewing range of the
detector.
The detector's box is made of fusion light alloy with IP65
protection, and so the internal electronics are protected from dust,
shocks and from ambient conditions, that can be also corrosive,
permitting to use the detector outdoor for a long time without any
problem.
The detector is supplied with a inox steel fixing stirrup to be easily
fixed on the pipes.
The maintenance of this detector is very simple and not frequently
required.
