Minimax UniVario - Industrial Fire Detectors
UniVario industrial fire detectors are intelligent, platform-based and microprocessor controlled fire detectors. Thanks to their modular concept and advanced signal processing techniques, these detectors meet individual requirement profiles within an exceptionally wide range of applications. UniVario industrial fire detectors work indoors and outdoors; likewise in the direct vicinity of the equipment to be protected as well as from larger distances. They are deployable in both clean room areas and under harsh process conditions as well as in explosion-hazardous areas, thus providing solutions to all requirements.
UniVario industrial fire detectors are intelligent, platform-based, microprocessor-controlled fire detectors with a robust housing and assembly technology for even the harshest working conditions. Thanks to their modular design and use of the latest signal processing technology, these devices meet individual specifications in an extraordinarily wide range of uses. For example, they can be used indoors and outdoors, in the immediate vicinity of the protected facility or from greater distances, in clean rooms or areas as well as in extremely dirty process conditions.

Fire detector with a modular structure
The combination of highly responsive sensors
and intelligent evaluation algorithms ensures that UniVario industrial fire detectors always detect fires very fast with a very low risk of false alarms. Their ability to intelligently suppress disturbance variables, high and very accurate response temperatures and the option to use the detectors in explosion-hazardous areas offer a very broad range of applications for UniVario detectors.
Application-specific configuration of signal processing and modularity permit easy adaptation of changing operating conditions. The high level of operational dependability is ensured by microcontroller-based function monitoring and the sensor test, as well as by the high degree of protection (IP66, IP67), oil leak tightness and a high level of impact and vibration resistance. The number of worldwide approvals confirms the quality and wide field of application.
By using communication modules, UniVario industrial fire detectors can be converted to full-blown analogue addressable detectors. As a result, and unlike most other available industrial fire detectors, these detectors can be integrated into the fire detection systems as full-scale detectors with a protocol merely by plugging in a module. Reported events can be assigned precisely to a detector, and the fire alarm and extinguishing control panel can initiate the required steps. UniVario detectors are the first industrial fire detectors where this option is available even for explosion-hazardous areas. The KMX5000 AP and KMX5000 AP Ex module allow to operate the UniVario industrial fire detectors as complete loop participants on fire detection control panels with Loop AP protocol – without required specific loop couplers.
WMX5000
UniVario WMX5000 is a heat detector with stainless steel heat sensor.
The WMX5000 is designed to detect open fires where temperature is increasing rapidly, such as in the case of highly combustible solids, liquids, and gases. It responds instantaneously to any rapid rise in temperature or as soon as a pre-programmed temperature is exceeded. It offers a number of different installation options, making it suitable for monitoring rooms as well as processes. It has been designed specifically with challenging industrial environments in mind, including indoor and outdoor risks and for potentially hazardous areas.
WMX5000 FS
UniVario WMX5000 FS is a high-temperature detector with a robust decoupled stainless steel heat sensor.
The WMX5000 FS heat detector is specially designed to work in temperatures of up to 850 °C. Its heat sensor enables simple and flexible installation. A microcontroller monitors the function and analyzes temperature values. With its tough, sealed housing, the WMX5000 FS can be used in all sorts of scenarios. Optimum results are provided even when subjected to extreme temperature fluctuations, heavy soiling and aggressive conditions. The heat sensor comes in different designs. The alarm temperature and response behavior is programmable, making it suitable for a host of applications.
FMX5000 IR
UniVario FMX5000 IR is an extremely robust three-channel infrared flame detector with three-way optical test.
Despite the disturbance sources typical for industrial applications, the UniVario FMX5000 IR is extremely fast at detecting flames. Hot machine surfaces, direct sun radiation in exterior surroundings, and welding operations are filtered by a special sensor combination and intelligent processing, while at the same time even the very small flames of an emerging fire are reliably detected and signaled as an alarm. With its three-way optical test, whereby all three sensors as well as the optical detector window are monitored, the UniVario FMX5000 IR is extremely fail-safe.
FMX5000 UV
UniVario FMX5000 UV is a flame detector with spectral responsiveness in the ultraviolet range.
The flame detector FMX5000 UV reacts to optical radiation and analyzes specific wavelengths. It is installed wherever open flames are likely to develop quickly. Its perfect combination of early detection, high sensitivity, reliability, and the lowest possible risk of false alarms caused by thunderstorms, hot surfaces, or strong solar radiation make the UniVario fire detector indispensable for preventing the rapid spread of fires.
YMX5000
UniVario YMX5000 is a modular detection system.
It consists of a control unit with three ports and detached sensor units for spark and rapid flame detection. The system is ideally suited for confined installation conditions in harsh, industrial environments. For the application area of spark detection in particular, the UniVario YMX5000 system can also be used in extreme temperature ranges.
