The Automatic Fire Extinguisher (AMFE) not only releases the extinguishing gas but also signals that it has. In installations where accessibility is limited, the AMFE can be connected to a monitoring system by two connectors for reading a signal.

Permanently controlling if the AMFE has been initiated (e.g., line control through a PLC or monitoring device) allows for precise knowledge about the status of whether and where a fire might have started in an otherwise hard-to-reach installation.

Fire Suppression For Electrical Enclosures & Control Cabinets

The S-AMFE is rated for typical PLC signals of 24 V/48 V and 1000 mA. The connectors are standardized (6.3 mm blade terminals), but customizations are possible.

In control cabinets, fire can quickly lead to a disaster. The AMFE extinguishes reliably and precisely.

Suitable For Various Applications: Domestic & Industrial Fire Safety

The application spectrum of the AMFE is diverse: It ranges from technical household appliances, exhibits and collections to solutions in a vast variety of applications, both at home or in the industry.

AMFE Form & Function

The glass bulb bursts into small fragments and triggers a mechanism that releases the gas from the cylinder

Due to rising heat in a fire scenario, the pressure inside the glass bulb increases. After the predetermined operating temperature of the heat-sensitive glass bulb is reached, the glass bulb bursts into small fragments and triggers a mechanism that releases the gas from the cylinder.

The extinguishing medium is released through the holes in the outlet body and extinguishes the fire when the fire is still in an early stage. The quick operation and the effective extinguishing of the fire prevents further expansion of the fire and helps keeping damage to a minimum.
