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! \u00a0DTSX1 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is DTSX1?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fire detection for 3D Automatic Warehouse<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which application areas is DTSX1 used for?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
