Main Applications
Intrusion detection - an "electronic fence" - in combination with alarm verification - video surveillance - protects property and prevents sabotage.

Hazardous areas, such as fossil fuel and chemical facilities, require high-performance intrusion detection. ADPRO by Xtralis offers defense-grade perimeter protection including ADPRO PRO Outdoor Intrinsically Safe Passive Infrared Detectors.
These systems, which detect temperature differences between moving targets and the stationary background, may be used safely to protect hazardous environments. ADPRO PRO Intrinsically Safe Passive Infrared detectors are ideally suited for use in the following hazardous environments:

Fossil fuel industry

• Oil and gas platforms and refi neries
• Petrol, oil, kerosene storage
• Pump stations (railways, harbours, pipelines)

Chemical industry

• Chemical laboratories
• Chemical production sites
• Pyrotechnic material production sites and warehouses

Others

• Electric power transformation substations
• Aircraft hangars and parking facilities for petrol/oil trucks
• Process industry

Technical Concept
Operation of a high-performance, intrinsically safe (IS) ADPRO PRO detector requires the installation of IS barriers for power, switching and communications. The distance from the detector to the nonhazardous area can be up to 200 metres. ADPRO also offers IS barriers for power, switching and communications.

The ADPRO intrinsically safe detectors comply to the following standards:
IEC 60079-0 : 2011 Edition: 6.0
