Johnson Controls has released its newest addition, the new Ansul Checkfire 210 Quad Infrared (QIR) Detector for mining vehicle fire protection, which it said offers faster detection and response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When used alongside linear heat detection systems, the Checkfire 210 QIR Detector uses infrared technology to help preserve high-value, mission-critical mining vehicles operating in harsh conditions with open, exposed hazard areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even a minor fire incident can take these vehicles off the job and interrupt business continuity. To minimize the severity of fire damage and increase peace-of-mind on the worksite, this new ANSUL quad infrared technology can detect flames within seconds, even across a wide range of operating conditions like smoke, dust, fog and varying temperatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\u201cOur team specifically engineered the robust Checkfire 210 QIR Detector for harsh real-world mining environments with new features that help accelerate the speed of flame detection and suppression response,\u201d said Kristin Ryczek, global product manager, Vehicle Fire Suppression Systems.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWith customers in mind, we designed the new QIR detector to seamlessly integrate and communicate with existing Ansul Checkfire 210-D fire detection control systems, so better performance is just a simple upgrade away.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The new detector leverages infrared technology to detect hydrocarbon flames faster than other detectors on the market, noted the company, and to reduce the possibility of false discharges. The detector features an innovative latching alarm signal that quickly identifies, which detectors have been activated. This information helps save critical time and effort needed for physical vehicle inspection during and after a fire event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The system includes the new quad infrared detector, interface modules, installation bracketing and a dedicated optical test unit. The QIR detector has been tested to meet or exceed operational standards for the mining industry, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

- FM 5970 and FM 3260<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- ActiveFire listed \u2013 AS 5062<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Industry operational testing,
vibration profile and pressure wash resistance<\/li>\n\n\n\n- In-field customer testing and feedback requirements<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Enhanced OEM mining industry standards<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
