Hello and welcome to this month's blog, where this time we put the spotlight on our aviation extinguisher division.
We have nearly 40 years of expertise in the portable, mobile and fixed fire extinguisher market and our systems are on board many of the commercial and military aircraft in service today.
What is the life cycle and warranty for FFE extinguishers?
What are they?
Vibration switches are a simple protection devise that triggers an alarm or shuts down a machine if the vibration exceeds a pre-set threshold level. These devises are used for the protection of rotating and reciprocating machinery (below 300rpm) such as, compressors, pumps, turbines, motors and generators, vibrating conveyors, vertical and horizontal crushers and shakers.
Welcome to this months blog, I will be answering the top 10 most asked questions about our Talentum Flame Detectors.
Our Talentum detectors look for flames across a broad spectrum of infrared and UV light (both invisible to the naked eye). They also detect the flickering movement of a flame allowing our products to detect most flames, that are both non-hydrocarbon or hydrocarbon based.
Our new fire detector the Fireray One is opening an exciting new chapter in optical beam smoke detection.
Our previous range of reflective beam detectors require manual alignment, which takes on average ten minutes to set up and align. However, our new detector the Fireray One not only features motorised self-alignment (which takes 60 seconds), but several advanced features that other beam detectors do not have.
These features include:
We’ve been on a short break, but we are back with our monthly blog posts, where we talk anything and everything around fire safety and best practice.
In no particular order let’s get into the most frequently asked questions I get about our beam smoke detectors.
Spark detection is a specialist part of the Talentum Flame Detection range.
Choosing the right Beam for a particular site depends on a number of criteria (which will be discussed in the Blog).
While both types of Beam technology, Reflective and End to End are equally good at detecting smoke, each type has applications to which it is more suitable than the other type.
Reflective Types:
The sensitivity of all Talentum Flame Detectors is based on the size of the flame and the distance that flame is away from the Flame Detector.
For example, while a Flame Detector will pick up a cigarette lighter flame at 1M, the same size flame would not be detected at a distance of 8M.
There are two types of Fire Panels, Conventional types which have ‘Zones’ which are connected directly to devices such as Optical Beam smoke Detectors or Flame Detectors and Analogue Addressable types which have a loop bus onto which addressable devices can be connected.
I have been passionate about electronics since completing my studies at De Havilland College some 30 years ago. I began to apply this knowledge to the fire safety industry in 1997 and since then, have not looked back.
In 2011 I joined FFE where I have particularly enjoyed being able to work so closely with partners, installers and customers, as well as seeing the obvious benefits that our products provide. What makes me proud to be at FFE is the fact that we really do protect our customer’s world.
Since joining FFE at the beginning of 2015 I have clocked well over 3000 hours of application support and fault assessment for smoke and flame detection. I work within both Research & Development and Technical Support teams, working with the products hands on and offering support over the phone. It is through my experience in customer facing roles, aviation and other technical industries I aim to deliver the best support to our customers as possible.
