Yokogawa Electric Corporation announced that it has developed the DTSX1 fiber optic heat detector, an OpreX Field Instruments heat sensing and fire detection solution, and will release it on September 21. Housed in an enclosure and suitable for use with Yokogawa-specified fiber optic cables, the DTSX1 is a cost-effective all-in-one facility monitoring and fire detection solution that is easy to install. It is expected that this solution will aid in the timely identification of maintenance issues and thereby improve plant uptime and reduce maintenance costs.
Product features include:
1. Cost-effective and easy-to-install all-in-one solution
All DTSX1 components including an easy-to-read display, relay output circuits, alarm circuits, and other hardware required for heat detection are housed in a single enclosure measuring 50 cm (W) × 50 cm (H) × 25 cm (D). Suitable for use with Yokogawa-specified fiber optic cables and designed specifically for use in facility monitoring and fire detection applications, the DTSX1 is reportedly easy to install, takes less time to install, and costs less than a general-purpose fiber optic temperature sensor.
2. Able to measure data from 4 cables up to 16 km in length
The DTSX1 can accommodate up to 4 channels receiving temperature data via fiber optic cables that each can be up to 16 km in length. In terms of number of channels and total measurement distance, the DTSX1, according to Yokogawa, outperforms all fiber optic heat detectors currently on the market. The number of channels can be set to 1, 2, or 4, and the measurement distance can be set to 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, or 16 km.
3. Ready-to-use GA10 templates for monitoring facility status
Templates have been created for Yokogawa’s GA10 PC-based data logging software that facilitate the display of DTSX1 data. Monitoring windows for each type of application enable the quick detection and location of failures.
Major target markets include iron & steel, power, chemical, non-ferrous metal, pulp & paper, and oil & gas industries with such applications as detecting fire at coal conveyors in thermal power plants and iron mills; monitoring abnormal heat build-up in power cable racks; detecting fire in service tunnels; maintenance monitoring for furnaces in iron & steel and chemical plants; and detecting fire in transit tunnels and other infrastructure.
