Det-Tronics

Det-Tronics provides flame detection, gas detection and hazard mitigation systems for manned and unmanned offshore drilling platforms around the world.

The company designs, manufactures and commissions SIL-2 capable fire and gas safety solutions to protect personnel, equipment and processes in settings where the risks and potential costs of fire are high.

Products include flame detectors, combustible gas detectors, toxic gas detectors and explosion-proof smoke detectors, as well as the certified Eagle Quantum Premier® (EQP) Fire and Gas Safety Controller for integrated detection, notification and suppression control.

CGS Catalytic Bead Sensor: Suitable for high temperature and hydrogen detection applications, this is a cost-effective solution for detecting a broad range of combustible gases. Certified SIL 2 capable when used with FlexVu® Universal Display.

Det-Tronics® SmokeWatch™ U5015 Explosion-proof Smoke Detector: This Class I Division 1, 2 and Zone 1 explosion-proof rated smoke detector is suitable for hazardous, industrial and commercial applications, and can be duct-mounted.

Eagle Quantum Premier® (EQP) Fire and Gas Safety Controller: SIL-2 capable, fault-tolerant, addressable fire and gas pre-action system is NFPA 72-compliant and hazardous-rated for annunciation and releasing. Supports multiple communication protocols and has capability to communicate with process control systems.

FlexSight™ LS2000 Line-of-Sight Infrared Hydrocarbon Gas Detector: Wide optical field of view (0.8◦), consistent signal strength and robust housing design helps LOS detector meet rigorous performance standards; performance approved over a distance of up to 120 meters and with 95% obscuration.

FlexSonic® Acoustic Gas Leak Detector: Provides instantaneous response to pressurized gas leaks – no contact with gas required – for another layer of protection in the harshest conditions including marine environments.

FlexVu® Universal Display Family: FlexVu® Universal Display Family: Displays provide display, output and control capabilities and supports both Det-Tronics combustible and toxic gas sensors and other 4-20 mA devices; non-intrusive, one-person calibration, logging and diagnostics.

GT3000 Electrochemical Toxic Gas Detector: Detects hydrogen sulfide, hydrogen, oxygen, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, ammonia, chlorine or sulfur dioxide, with certified SIL 2-capable oxygen and hydrogen sulfide sensors. Intrinsically safe sensors can be hot-swapped in the field.

PointWatch Eclipse® Infrared Hydrocarbon Gas Detector: Certified SIL 2-capable combustible gas detector is performance certified to detect methane, propane, ethylene and butane. Unit allows extended interval testing and provides intrinsically safe HART port.

X3301 Multispectrum Infrared Optical Flame Detector: Known for flame detection coverage and false alarm rejection capabilities, this IR flame detector is certified SIL 2 capable, NFPA 72 compliant, performance certified to global standards and marine-approved for deck installation.

X-Series Weather Shield :For use with Det-Tronics X-Series optical flame detectors, the optional shield minimizes accumulation of condensation, rain and snow on optics to reduce weather-induced fault conditions.

Flame detectors certified to global and offshore standards for your safety

Det-Tronics products carry performance and safety certifications from globally recognised third-party testing agencies and approval bodies. The X3301 Multispectrum Infrared Flame Detector is performance certified to FM 3260, EN 54 and VNIIPO to respond a wide range of fuel sources. It also carries DNV/MED Type approval for deck installation offshore and is NFPA 72 compliant. The optional Weather Shield minimises accumulation of condensation, rain and snow on the optics of X-series optical flame detector to reduce weather-induced fault conditions.

Combustible and toxic gas detectors with global certifications, safety awards

Combustible gas and toxic gas detectors from Det-Tronics use a variety of technologies to provide reliable fixed detection solutions that keep people and operations safe. Detectors measure gases via acoustic, infrared (point and line-of-sight), catalytic bead and electrochemical technologies.

Calibration and configuration can be done through a variety of displays and gas control panels.

For hydrocarbon gas detection, the PointWatch Eclipse® PIRECL IR detector carries life-safety performance approval to ATEX EN60079-29-1 as well as FM and CSA approvals. The fast-response version has been certified to FM, CSA, IECEx and ATEX requirements for detecting methane or butane in as little as 1.5 seconds.  PIRECL Eclipse detectors are constructed of rugged IP66/67 stainless steel construction and certified SIL-2 capable.

The FlexSight™ LS2000 line-of-sight IR gas detector provides continuous monitoring of combustible hydrocarbon gas concentrations between two points with infrared technology while enduring harsh environments. Units are globally certified with SIL, FM, CSA,  ATEX, IECEx, CE, DNV and other approvals.

The FlexSonic® Acoustic Gas Leak Detector provides instantaneous response to pressurised gas, detecting leaks without gas contact. Performance is unaffected by wind direction or leak location, and a patented “learn function” customises detection to ignore ultrasonic false alarm sources.

Det-Tronics line-of-sight and acoustic gas detection products are both exida safety award winners.

The GT3000 Electrochemical Toxic Gas Detector is designed with sensors to detect each of these toxic gases: hydrogen sulfide, hydrogen, oxygen, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, ammonia, chlorine or sulfur dioxide. The unit is certified SIL- 2 capable and has been third-party-tested to the IP66 rating.

System controller integrates detection, notification and suppression with ease

The Eagle Quantum Premier® (EQP) Fire and Gas Safety Controller is an addressable-loop, fault-tolerant safety controller. Compliant to NFPA 72 per FM Approvals, the controller supports Det-Tronics flame and gas detectors as well as third-party devices.

The controller is certified for annunciation and releasing, and it has the capability to communicate with process control and communication systems. The EQP is hazardous-location rated by FM, CSA, ATEX and IECEx, is FM performance approved, and CE marked. The result is a fire- and gas-safety controller that can incorporate smoke detection, flame detection, and combustible and toxic gas detection, as well as other detection technologies for high-risk applications into a single safety system.
