1 General Information

Linear smoke detector «IPDL-Ex» (hereinafter, the IPDL-Ex) refers to intrinsically 

safe electric equipment with «ia» level «intrinsically safe electric circuit» explosion 
protection. IPDL-Ex is intended for detecting ignitions accompanied with smoke 
in the protected hazardous premise, generating an alarm message by relay 
contacts closing and transmitting the message to zone extension module BRSS-Ex 
(hereinafter, the BRSS-Ex).

2 Features of the IPDL-Ex

- The intrinsically safe parameters of the IPDL-Ex match those of BRSS-Ex.
- Detects combustion products in a monitored zone created by an optical beam 

between the infrared radiation transmitter and receiver.

- Generates «Fire» alarm messages if threshold concentration of combustion 

products level is exceeded;

- Generates «Fault» messages in case of service trouble;
- Transmits «Fire» and «Fault» alarm messages via alarm loops AL1 and AL2 

correspondently;

- Diagnoses faults and transmits the results to an optical alarm external device 

(hereinafter, OAED).

operation.

6.2 The IPDL-Ex should be installed in closed or semi-closed premises at most 

probable smoke accumulation points in case of a fire (above fire hazard locations, 
far away from exhaust ventilation and air draughts).

6.3 The bases for the TM and the RM installation should be rigid and should 

have level surfaces (a load-bearing wall or a timber).

6.4 The IPDL-Ex should be installed at the location accessible for maintenance 

in line-of-sight zone on a side of the premise passages.

6.5 The distance between the TM and the RM must not exceed 150 m, whereupon 

there should be no overcovering objects in the monitored zone and the possibility 
of their emergence should be excluded.
