13 Versions of the ECO-Cube unit
In addition to the basic version, the filter unit "ECO-Cube" can be ordered in an extended or modified
version by adding different functionalities:
• Version "preparation for CO2-extinguishing installation"
13.1 Version "preparation for CO2-extinguishing installation"
The version "preparation for CO2-extinguishing installation" is equipped with an extinguish-
ing installation that can support a manual extinguishing of a fire within the filter unit by means of
CO². The service door of the filter cartridges (pos. 4) must be replaced by a special door with a
fire-fighting pipeline.
It is possible, that the service door still has been mounted by factory.
In addition, the filter unit is equipped with a particle sensor that detects an excessive smoke de-
velopment (fire, break of the filter, etc.) inside the filter unit.
When the particle sensor is triggered, the filter units switches off as a precaution, the signal
hooter is activated and the error message "particle sensor" is shown on the display of the con-
trol.
In this case the operator must immediately switch off the upstream machine
tool.
Inappropriate handling of the extinguishing installation may lead
to significant risks. There is a threat of icing and asphyxiation.
The operator must clarify in advance which measures must be taken in
case of fire. The CO2-extinguishing installation must only be used when
detecting a fire inside the filter unit if there is no danger outside the filter
unit that contradicts it. Follow the instructions in chapter "Behaviour in
case of fire".
The particle sensor must not be used as basis of a fire protec-
tion concept. It is not indented to be a part of a fire detection
system.
The particle sensor is intended to detect excessive smoke or dust de-
velopment. This does not necessarily mean that the cause is a fire.
Therefore an activation of the particle sensor may not automatically
trigger the CO2-extinguishing action. It must be checked via visual in-
spection through the window of the service door if there is a fire, flames
or pockets of embers.
