CCCF Certification

Eaton Hazardous Area Communications group has announced that some of their MEDC products are now certified with CCCF certification.

The CCCF products include the BG break glass call point, XB15 xenon strobe beacon and the DB3B electronic high power sounder, increasing the ranges’ already impressive approvals list, such as CQST.

This advancement has come about thanks to internal and external testing allowing Eaton to be able to provide CCCF and CQST certifications for ATEX call points, beacons and sounders – CQST approval means the product can be installed on Chinese fire alarm systems.

These selected products are a valuable addition to any fire system, with a certified operation temperature reaching +70°C, lightweight GRP construction, and an ingress protection rating of IP66 and IP67. The maximum output for the DB3B is 122dB (@1m +/- 3dB) and the XB15 up to 382Cd.

The enclosures are suitable for use offshore or onshore, where light weight combined with corrosion resistance is required.

The housings of the ATEX beacons are manufactured completely from a UV stable, glass reinforced polyester. Stainless steel screws and mounting bracket are available ensuring a totally corrosion-free product.

The MEDC XB15 hazardous area beacon contains a supervisory diode and four wire lead connections for alarm applications.

Eaton MEDC DB3B Sounders

Eaton MEDC DB3B are high power explosion proof ATEX sounders introduced as a replacement for the current DB3 with improved functionality and performance.

The hazardous area sounder is certified for use in a wide range of temperatures from -55ºC to +70ºC in ATEX & IECEx Zone 1 and Zone 2 hazardous areas.

The DB3B sounder proves its versatility by additionally being able to work with a common positive supply and switching the negatives. The tone stages of the DB3B can also be controlled via voltage free contacts provided by a control panel.

The flexibility of the range continues with a wide range of supply voltages. The short flare option is worthy addition to the range offering a high SPL in a compact unit.
