OUR PRODUCTS
IR3 Optical Detector
IR3 Optical Detector
The IR3 Optical Detector is micro controller based enabling
adjustment of sensitivity and other features to a specific
application.
Features:
• 3 IR wavelengths
• Response time – less than 5 msec
• Sensitivity to slow growth fires
• High reliability
• Immunity to false alarm
• Automatic and manual Built-In Test (BIT)
• RS-485 Modbus compatible
Extinguisher
Efficient and fast (250 msec) agent dispersion system
The extinguishers contain environmental friendly fire
suppression agent HFC227ea with scrubbing agent sodium
bicarbonate (SB).
The special design of the cylinder’s valve and deflector
enables rapid and homogenous dispersion of the
suppression agent in the protected area.
Features:
• Unique Valve Design – no moving parts
• Hermetically Sealed Valve
• Fast Agent Release and Distribution
• Pressure switch for cylinder status indication
• Homogenous 360° Agent Dispersion
• Reduced Discharge Impact – increased crew safety
• Visual Pressure Gauge
• High Reliability
• DOT or EU standards
• MTBF: Minimum 250,000 Hours
Power Backup Unit
The PBU is used to keep the system active and operable,
following a failure of the regular power source from the
vehicle’s batteries, for approximately 15 minutes.
This capability is achieve by 12 super capacitors,
incorporated in the unit.
The PBU contains an indication LED, to display the
operational status of the unit. The LED flashes in green
during the charging process and switches to constant green
when the PBU is fully charged. The LED lights in red when
the power supply from the vehicle’s batteries is
disconnected or has low voltage.
Control Box
The Multi Compartment Control Box receives detection
signals from both engine, personal and other protected
compartments and activates the fire extinguishing system.
The control panel includes indications and warning signals,
manual activation, system test features, modern CANBUS
serial communication port enables connection to vehicle
control system and can be used for maintenance and
trouble-shooting.
Features:
• Accepts input signals from optical, wire heat and
spot heat detectors
signals from both engine, personal and other protected
compartments and activates the fire extinguishing system.

Manuel Activation Unit
The MAU has two modes of operation:
When power is supplied to the MAU – operation of the
MAU results in an activation command signal to the control
box.
When the power supply to the MAU is disconnected –
operation of the MAU results in direct activation signals to
the designated extinguishers
This capability is maintained for at least one hour after the
power disconnection, due to the capacitors incorporated in
the MAU.
The operation of the MAU is conducted by a push button
switch. The push button is guarded by a plastic diaphragm,
to be broken by the finger for the switch operation, to
prevent accidental activations. The diaphragm is provided
with breakaway cuts, to ease the activation of the push
button.
Spot heat detector
Heat detectors are used in confined areas for detection of
fires around hazardous locations. The detector is a
thermistor type, enabling adjustment of temperature
response by the controller. The Spectrex Spot Heat
Detector is the latest model being installed in off-road
tactical and armoured vehicles.
Features:
• Thermistor Type
• High Reliability
• Temperature Set-up by the Controller
UV/IR Optical Detector
Non-electric initiation and detonation, explosives for demining, bomb disposal elements.
Marking elements for demining or forensic needs.
DETECTION
The challenge today is to identify materials that are a potential threat. The detection of explosives is based on various types of examinations: X-RAY Scan, vapor and powder based detection are all valued solutions and the AGM experts will offer You the appropriate solution for Your needs.
