GMA-VM-FMS Remote alarm system

Monitors district-heating manhole facilities and technical rooms:
detects heat build-up and fire

For monitoring 2 to ≥ 12 signal lines over distances up to 80 km
based on DIN VDE 0833-1, -3, -4

Application: for monitoring district-heating manhole facilities & technical rooms

  • Immediately after the set temperature is reached (57°C, 68°C or 79°C) the thermobulb, which functions as a signal generator (e.g. in sprinkler system), bursts inside the signal generator casing, thereby activating the compression spring. The spring expands and activates the push-pull signal transmitter, which passes the mechanical signal on to the sensor.
     
  • After the heat has been dissipated and the whole signal generator (casing, compression spring and thermobulb) has been replaced, the sensor can be used again. In the event of fire, the sensor and the push-pull signal transmitter must be replaced too.

 

Particular features:

  • Various states, e.g. opening, heat build-up, water level etc. can be monitored simultaneously, by setting up the appropriate EMA-VM and GMA-VM remote alarm systems in series. If a GMA-VM is triggered at a temperature range < 80°C, the respective remote alarm can be re-set to alert within 3 minutes after the cause has been removed and the signal generator replaced.
     
  • When several remote alarms are in use, the precise location of the alarm for water, heat/fire or unauthorised entry is made possible if a dead-zone box (with dead-zone fibres) is utilised.
