Page 7: Epaco™ System Overview
EPACO™ is designed to detect and control any of Fike’s Active explosion suppression and isolation systems; which range from chemical suppression, mechanical isolation (gate and pinch valve), chemical isolation or any combination thereof. -
Page 8: Explosion Protection Controller
EXPLOSION PROTECTION CONTROLLER The Explosion Protection Controller (EPC) is the cornerstone of the EPACO™ system. The EPC is an addressable panel that has the ability to retain an event history for enhanced system diagnostics. The EPC is DIN rail mounted which allows mounting of the controller in close proximity to the protected environment, thereby minimizing field wiring. -
