Overview
What it is and how it fits the system.
The Xtralis F-BO-AFE70-3 is the high-flow, sub-zero temperature FAAST Automatic Purging Unit, a fully integrated compact unit with a single built-in solenoid valve that uses compressed air to purge Aspiration Smoke Detection (ASD) pipe networks. User-selectable preventative or event-triggered purging programs drive air delivery of 5000 lit/minute. Rated IP54 and powered from 21.6-30 VDC, it operates from -20C to +40C, drawing 8mA normally and 300mA when the solenoid is energised.
Technical overview
The Xtralis F-BO-AFE70-3 is a high-flow, sub-zero temperature FAAST Automatic Purging Unit designed for Aspiration Smoke Detection (ASD) pipe networks. It features a single built-in solenoid valve that uses compressed air to deliver user-selectable preventative or event-triggered purging programs at a rate of 5000 lit/minute. The unit operates from a 21.6–30 VDC supply, drawing 8mA in normal condition and 300mA when the solenoid is energised, and is rated for operation between -20°C and +40°C with IP54 ingress protection.
Compact in design, the F-BO-AFE70-3 measures 68 mm in height, 204 mm in width, and 160 mm in depth, with an approximate weight of 3.2kg. Its housing is finished in Grey White (RAL 9002), and it withstands relative humidity up to a maximum of 95% at 40°C. The unit is compatible with the 25mm Over Pressure Check Valve (SKU: PIP-024) as part of the AFE70 system configuration.
