Conventionally, the only way to detect fires and control temperatures in large multi-story warehouses was to install larger quantities of temperature sensors at multiple locations. That’s different now. Why? Because of the DTSX1 from Yokogawa! DTSX1 monitors the temperature continuously every 1m along the optical fiber, which enables dense temperature monitoring, which was previously impossible. The fiberglass-based linear heat detector is specifically designed for fire protection and fire detection in large installations and infrastructures such as conveyor belts, cable ducts, buildings, and tunnels.
What is DTSX1?
DTSX1 is a fiber optic-based linear heat detector specifically developed for fire prevention and detection in large facilities and infrastructure such as conveyor belts, cable trays, buildings, and tunnels. It stores the alarm functions required for heat detection in one box. DTSX1 analyzes temperature data with high accuracy by measuring with a fiber optic sensor cable and performing high-temperature heat detection.
DTSX1 belongs to the Yokogawa OpreX product strategy. OpreX is the comprehensive brand for Yokogawa’s industrial automation and control business. The OpreX brand stands for excellence in the technology and solutions that Yokogawa cultivates through co-creating value with its customers. Under this brand, all the Yokogawa control products may be found. As well as services and other solutions that customers use to digitalize and transform their businesses and drive growth in this time of unprecedented change. Under the OpreX brand name and based on the Co-innovating tomorrow corporate brand slogan, Yokogawa will continue to co-create value with its customers and thereby help to create a brighter future for all.
Fire detection for 3D Automatic Warehouse
Although it is desirable to efficiently store flammability products such as batteries and spray cans in a 3D automatic warehouse, the fire risk increases because it is difficult to monitor from top to bottom. With existing spot-type temperature sensors and fire detectors, monitoring all shelves in a three-dimensional automatic warehouse is impossible. However, DTSX contributes to safer operation by continuously monitoring the shelves’ temperature continuously by laying optical fibers on the shelves.
Which application areas is DTSX1 used for?
DTSX1 has been certified by the Vds in Germany according to EN54-22 since 2020. And the fiber optic heat detector is designed for civil constructions (buildings, tunnels, parking garages, etc.) and industrial applications. It is used for monitoring industrial plants. The concept of the DTSX1 is designed for harsh industrial environments such as dust, corrosion, heat, smoke, vibration, and exhaust fumes. With the DTSX1, abnormal temperature conditions can be detected quickly and assigned to the corresponding zone.
A brief summary of the most important points of DTSX1
- The DTSX1 is designed to withstand the effects of dust, corrosion, heat, smoke, vibration and exhaust gases in industrial environments.
- Zone-exact localization of the fire location in the shortest possible time.
- Simple configuration and standardized interfaces (HW & SW).
- VdS approval according to EN 54-22.
