EQP system provides flame and/or gas detection, alarm signaling, notification, extinguishing agent release, and/or deluge operation.

The Eagle Quantum Premier Safety System from Detector Electronics (Det-Tronics) has earned certification to NFPA 72: 2010. FM Approvals performed the system evaluation and certification. Det-Tronics is a business of UTC Fire & Security, a unit of United Technologies Corp.

Suitable for industrial applications requiring a hazardous-location rated protection system, the EQP system provides flame and/or gas detection, alarm signaling, notification, extinguishing agent release, and/or deluge operation. Components are integrated on a fault-tolerant digital communication network.

The new certification joins the list of others previously obtained for the EQP system, including FM/CSA/ATEX/CE, BRE/Loss Prevention Certification Board, U.S. Coast Guard approved to 46 CFR 161.002 and Lloyds Register Type approved to “Test Specification Number 1.”
