System Description ® System Overview of the SILOTEC 8000 Figure 1 - System overview of the SILOTEC 8000 analyzer system Safe Area Electronic unit SME5 (IP66) Max. ambient temp.: -20 °C to +55 °C (-4 °F to + 131 °F)
If a smoldering fire occurs in the silo, carbon monoxide is formed by the consumption of oxygen. SILOTEC 8000 can detect this smoldering fire immediately on the basis of the increase in the CO concentration and the decrease in the content, and suitable safety measures can be taken.
Storage instructions ENOTEC equipment and spares are to be stored in a dry and ventilated environment at temperatures between -40 °C to +80 °C (-40 °F to 176 °F)moisture?. Paint fumes, silicone sprays, etc. must be avoided in the storage environment.
