Fire Detection Systems

Rail Systems

Custom solutions

Effective fire fighting is based on effective fire detection. FOGTEC offers both standardised fire detection modules and tailored systems to individual circumstances. Simple and economic monitoring solutions can be put in place as well as more challenging solutions for such applications as SIL 1. System components such as smoke detectors, point and linear heat detectors, smoke aspirating systems and fire detection panels are available in a variety of technical designs.

Where required as part of the approval process, real fire tests can be carried out in the FOGTEC laboratories or smoke tests can be run in the actual vehicles. These tests provide the necessary evidence for the positioning of fire detectors elements in different circumstances. This work is carried out on a regular basis in close co-operation with certifiers and authorities.

Product family 1000

The components of the 1000 series were developed from low cost mass production of building services engineering, modified to suit the demands of rolling stock. The focus lies on cost optimisation in applications where demand is low in terms of sensitivity, verification and durability. Typical areas of application include the monitoring of low risk areas with individually localised risks (WC cubicles, PowerPack,...), which have low requirements in terms of technical flexibility.

Product family 3000

The 3000 series covers technically more complex solutions for monitoring entire carriages or trains. A central interface is available for railway control and communication technology. This ensures high availability, a low failure rate and great flexibility in terms of system design. Later system modifications can be made without the need for new software processing. An RS232-interface is available for diagnostic and service work.

Product family 9000

The 9000 series represents the top end of the product range. The individual elements, which communicate via an integral CANbus, provide a high degree of reliability and flexibility. Both components and software are suitable for SIL certification. The systems are also very small in terms of installation dimensions, are light weight and have minimal power requirements.
