With our UL Class I, Division 2, ATEX certificate, and IECEx certificate from UL, Stat-X® EX electric operated aerosol fire suppression units are now certified to be in enclosed environments classified as a hazardous area.

Stat-X® EX electric operated aerosol fire suppression units have attained the UL Listing for use as a total flooding system in hazardous areas classified as Class I, Division 2 in accordance with UL category code FZED and FZED7.

These units are certified by UL and are authorized to bear the UL listing mark for Canada and the United States, Class I, Division 2, as well as IECEx, and the ATEX mark.

This product line of Stat-X EX electrical model aerosol fire suppression units complement, but do not supersede, our current line of UL/ULC listed E-model Stat-X aerosol fire suppression units. The final product is fitted with a choice of factory installed 3/4” NPT or M25x1.5mm male stainless steel or brass 90˚ elbow threaded connections.

Available in the following sizes (see specifications for more details):

  • 30E (.03 kg aerosol mass)
  • 60E and 60ME (.06 kg aerosol mass)
  • 100E (.10 kg aerosol mass)

Generator housing. Exterior and interior stainless steel shells separated by an insulating material. The stainless steel top and bottom incorporate the threaded connection for direct connection to conduit. The housing is sealed with a non-permeable membrane, includes a mechanical means of rupturing the membrane on activation, and is non-pressurized before activation.

Finish. Brushed stainless steel. Units have passed salt spray corrosion testing under UL 2775 as part of their listing.

Connection fitting. Factory-installed 3/4 in NPT or M25 × 1.5 mm male 90° elbow, stainless steel or brass.

Aerosol agent. Potassium-based. Fifteen-minute time-weighted-average test data from an independent U.S. laboratory show that, at normal design application densities, the aerosol does not produce harmful levels of CO, CO2, or NOx by NIOSH criteria. The agent has zero ozone depletion potential, zero global warming potential, and zero atmospheric lifetime, and is listed under the U.S. EPA SNAP program for total flooding in normally occupied and unoccupied spaces.

Listing. Listed by UL and ULC to UL 2775, Standard for Fixed Condensed Aerosol Extinguishing System Units. UL listed for Class I, Division 2 hazardous locations (category codes FZED and FZED7). ATEX and IECEx certified.

System. Extinguishing is achieved by distributed generators that ensure aerosol distribution throughout the protected volume. Generators can be supervised by the releasing panel.

Mounting. Stainless steel brackets that allow directional adjustment in both the vertical and horizontal plane; listed for ceiling or sidewall mounting.

Stat-X Electrical Units for Classified Hazardous Areas

Upon detection of a fire, Stat-X electrical EX generators will be activated automatically from a suitable listed releasing device. All auxiliary system components (release panel, detection, remote pull stations, etc.) are listed/approved by UL, ULC, FM, New York City MEA, and California State Fire Marshall.

Upon activation, the generators produce an exceptionally effective, ultra-fine, potassium based aerosol. Unlike gaseous systems, Stat-X EX aerosol generators are cost effective to install and maintain — as they do not require the pressure vessels, piping, or expensive installation costs associated with other extinguishing systems.

Space and weight requirements are minimal. On an agent weight basis, Stat-X EX aerosol is ten (10) times more effective than gaseous agent alternatives.

The Stat-X EX generator’s effectiveness is a function of its aerosol composition and ultra-fine particle size.

Stat-X EX aerosol generators are virtually maintenance free and have a service life of fifteen (15) years. This, coupled to their low installation cost, makes them an extremely cost-effective fire protection solution.

Highlights

Stat-X aerosol is 10x more effective than gaseous agent alternatives.

Virtually maintenance-free, cost- effective solution with a service life of 15 years.

Aerosol composition and ultra-fine particle size deliver effective suppression.
