Early detection is reliably ensured even at the pyrolysis phase, due to the built-in smoke extraction system.
DET-AC continuously checks the air within the enclosure for smoke aerosols, if indicator 1 detects smoke, an alarm is triggered, if indicator 2 detects smoke, the fire is actively extinguished.
DET-AC may be mounted directly in the 19in mounting level of the rack.
Several racks or rack sites may also be controlled and extinguished with one 3U unit.
DET-AC is also suitable for bayed enclosure suites using the cooling package LCP.
The eco-friendly, nontoxic extinguisher medium means the extinguisher system is suitable for universal use. Request a free brochure from Rittal ...
