Applications
Custom-engineered actuation for every fire suppression challenge
NFPA 2001 and EN 15004-1 require knowing the actuator is installed and ready. TLX patented supervision confirms fully engaged installation continuously, meeting the supervision requirements without added hardware.
For decades, discharge meant a spent pyrotechnic device and a service call. TLX latching actuators fire electrically, reset with a tool, and retest on schedule, turning a single-use component into a serviceable one.
One cylinder bank can protect many hazards if the system knows where to send the agent. TLX supervised actuators configured for selector valve use direct discharge zone by zone, confirming engagement at every valve.
Some systems seal agent behind a burst disc until the moment of truth. The TLX latching solenoid with burst pin delivers the high force needed to penetrate the disc reliably on command.
A cylinder that leaked last month is a system that fails today. TLX liquid level sensing, weight monitoring integration, and event recording report agent status and system health remotely, before inspection day finds the problem.
Explosive atmospheres require actuation certified for the environment itself. The TLX explosion-proof actuator is UL HazLoc, ATEX, and IECEx certified and acts as its own enclosure, eliminating the added components hazardous installations usually demand.
TLX designs custom actuation for fire suppression systems, balancing certification, performance, and long-term reliability in every component, including:
Regulatory Compliance
Engineering expertise to help achieve UL, FM, CE, LPCB, & VdS certifications and listings, with compliance designed in from the first concept.
Complex Environments
Optimization of actuators and valves for applications requiring high pressure and high speed, from inert gas systems at 300 bar to hazardous locations.
Advanced Security
Fully engaged installation detected through integrated supervisory component as required. Designed to safeguard against tampering.
Increased Performance
Designed to handle various actuation force requirements across agent types and system pressures. Durable components can be reset after activation for future use.
Limiting Power Consumption
Latching technology utilized to minimize overall power consumption, holding the ready state for years on standby without drawing continuous current from the panel.
Custom Configuration
Interfacing options available to meet system dimensional differences. Optional manual actuation assembly and reset tool attachment.
