The product family 7000 covers technically more complex solutions to monitor rail vehicles for fire events on basis of the smoke extraction technology

The smoke extraction systems being used for that purpose actively interfere with air circulation in the rail vehicle section to be monitored.

The smoke extraction system is suited for both the monitoring of wide spaces in rail vehicles (e.g. passenger compartments) for smoke detection, as well as for monitoring isolated components (e.g. switch cabinets) for fire detection purposes.
The box accommodating the smoke extraction system provides interfaces to the train control system for the further processing of data via CAN Open interface, I/O Ports as well as via floating contacts.

The smoke extraction system is also furnished with comprehensive software for self-diagnosis. This allows the system to determine the degree of pollution of the high-sensitivity laser smoke detector and also any breakdown that may occur in the piping system (clogging, bursting of pipes).

For connection to the vehicle control system, a central interface is available. This ensures a high degree of availability together with low error probability and high flexibility of the system design. Any subsequent modifications to the system are possible without software processing. An RS232 interface is available for diagnosis and service activities.

The smoke extraction systems are offered as one- or two-channel options and with different interface versions (CAN Open, Ethernet, digital outputs). The systems are provided with comprehensive tools for self-diagnosis which will immediately detect any interference or excessive pollution, reporting them at the interface by correspondingly detailed signals.

The product family of Series 7000 is completed by a diversity of central control unit solutions, optionally supplied with or without display unit, which are able to administrate and control entire train-wide networks of individual systems while permitting a central service access to the system as a whole

There is a diversity of data interfaces such as CANOpen, Ethernet, MVB, WTB,....

Data transmission to operation control units or via text message to mobile phones can be integrated in the operator’s emergency concept with the help of supplementary communication modules (WLAN, UMTS, GPRS).
