Wireless Burst Detection

The Atex approved burst detection system called Radio-Tel by Elfab combines the wireless technology with the company’s non-invasive detection system, Flo-Tel+.
The system features real-time process monitoring of disc status and temperature. Situated in close proximity to the bursting discs, the system’s transmitters plug easily into the detection system. The transmitters send a health message to the receiver every minute. When the transmitter detects that a disc has operated, the message changes to an alert signal. Each transmitter emits a unique identification code together with its health message, providing end-users with control over individual units. The system’s PC-compatible software indicates disc status, enabling customers to monitor their processes from the control room. The software allows for detailed monitoring of each device, including exact location, process temperature, battery life and signal strength. Additionally, the system can be hardwired to deliver maximum control over individual processes, or to trigger a beacon or siren in the case of a burst detection occurring. The system’s failsafe receiver module features optimal outputs and is pre-set for both hardwiring and software monitoring. The module can receive signals from a distance of up to 0.5 km. For larger sites, harsh operating environments or where buildings and structures weaken signals, repeater aerials are recommended. All Radio-Tel parts have at least an IP65 rating, with the transmitters being fully ATEX Zone 0 approved.
