Introduction

In a major advancement for safety in hazardous environments, E2S Warning Signals has officially launched its innovative H1 range of heat detectors. These state-of-the-art devices are globally certified, boasting approvals from UL, cUL, IECEx, and ATEX standards, ensuring they meet the highest safety criteria for explosion-proof and flameproof applications.

Design and Specifications

The H1 range is designed to offer an impressive combination of durability and performance. Available as part of both the D1x and D2x families, the heat detectors are manufactured with marine-grade, copper-free LM6 aluminum enclosure options. They also come in 316L stainless steel enclosures within the STEx family, and GRP enclosures for the GNEx series. This diverse selection allows for customized solutions tailored to various operational settings.

Key Features and Approvals

What sets the H1 range apart are its variants approved for use in critical hazardous zones, spanning Zone 0, 1, 2, 21, and 22, as well as Class I/II Division 1 and Division 2 areas. These detectors meet UL521 and CAN/ULC-S530 standards and align with SIL2 compliance under IEC61508. This ensures they perform reliably in the toughest environments, providing peace of mind to industries where safety is paramount.

Advanced Technology

E2S’s H1 heat detectors utilize advanced Detect-A-Fire® (D-A-F) rate-compensated technology, featuring robust stainless-steel housings and hermetically sealed contacts. This technology delivers high reliability for initial heat sensing, which is crucial in automatic fire and gas detection and suppression systems. They’re built to withstand the harshest conditions, with IP66/67 and Type 4/4X/13/3R sealing, making them a perfect fit for industries ranging from oil and gas to manufacturing facilities.

Customization and Integration

Additionally, specific models within the H1 range can be equipped with LED indicators to promptly signal alarm conditions. Customers can also opt for a variety of addressable modules that can be pre-installed at the factory, enhancing the system’s integration capabilities.

Conclusion

The launch of the H1 range for hazardous area applications signifies a leap forward in safety technology. For those in industries where heat detection is essential, the E2S H1 range promises not just superior performance but also crucial advancements over traditional detector systems.
