Description
The Polon-Alfa DUR-40EX is a specialized, conventional optical smoke detector engineered for installation in hazardous, potentially explosive atmospheres (classified as ATEX zones). It is typically installed on a conventional fire detection line via an appropriate safety barrier or galvanic isolator that limits electrical energy entering the hazardous zone.
The DUR-40EX operates on the light-scattering (Tyndall effect) principle. When fine smoke particles enter the measuring chamber, they scatter infrared light emitted by an internal LED onto a highly sensitive photo-receiver. The detector’s onboard microprocessor analyzes these signals, filtering out temporary dust or air currents to prevent false alarms.
Its robust, static-conductive black housing prevents electrostatic discharge—a crucial requirement for hazardous zones. It fits securely onto standard Polon-Alfa bases (such as the G-40) when installed within intrinsically safe circuits.
Features
- Intrinsically Safe ATEX Design: Specifically engineered for explosive hazard environments (Zones 1 and 2), carrying an Ex ib IIC T6 rating to guarantee it cannot generate a spark capable of igniting local gases.
- High-Sensitivity Tyndall Sensing: Uses an advanced infrared scattering chamber designed to identify fine, visible smoke particles during the early, smoldering stages of a fire before flames erupt.
- Automatic Dust Drift Compensation: Outfitted with smart microprocessors that track and adjust for gradual dust accumulation in the chamber, preserving sensor sensitivity and extending service intervals.
- Distinctive Black Anti-Static Housing: Molded in a specialized, black anti-static polymer casing to quickly indicate its intrinsically safe rating to installers and safety inspectors.
- Removable & Replaceable Chamber: Designed with an easily detachable optical chamber, making routine cleaning and field refurbishment simple without requiring full unit replacement.
- Versatile Interface Flexibility: Operates flawlessly as a conventional point detector or integrates directly into addressable fire panels using an intermediate ADC-4001M loop adapter.
