Exd Fire & Notification Appliances
Exd Fire and Notification Appliances in Qatar
Introduction
Exd Fire and Notification Appliances: Safety You Can Rely On in Hazardous Environments In high risk industries such as oil & gas, chemical processing, LNG terminals, and offshore platforms, safety is not just a priority — it’s a necessity. One of the most critical elements of industrial safety is the use of Explosion-Proof (Exd) Fire and Notification Appliances that can operate safely in hazardous environments where the risk of explosion is ever present. At RGI Fire Qatar, we supply and support a wide range of Exd certified fire alarm and notification solutions designed to perform reliably in these demanding applications.
What Are Exd Fire and
Notification Appliances?
Exd (Explosion-Proof) fire and notification appliances are purpose built devices engineered to function safely in environments where explosive gases, vapors, or dusts may be present.
Contain any internal explosion without rupture.
Prevent ignition of the surrounding explosive atmosphere.
Typical Exd Devices Include
Exd Manual Call Points (MCPs)
Exd Sounders and
Beacons
Exd Fire Alarm Bells and Horns
Exd Combination Sounder-Beacons
Exd Visual Indicators and Strobes
How Do They Work?
When connected to a Fire Detection and Alarm System (FDAS), Exd devices activate in response to fire or gas detection signals. They are designed to:
- Alert personnel audibly, with high-output alarms up to 120 dB.
- Provide visual warning, using high-intensity LED or xenon strobes.
The Enclosures Are Precision
Machined to Ensure
Containment of internal ignition sources
Controlled flame venting through flame paths
High resistance to corrosion, dust, vibration, and harsh weather
