The MIC EC-912 ensures ionisation smoke detectors meet EN54-7, validating functionality preuse and is ideal for reference smoke density measurements.
Make sure your ionisation smoke detector is safe to use
The MIC is crucial for ionisation smoke detector manufacturers as it verifies functionality, ensuring compliance with standards and reliable performance before reaching consumers. It is suitable for smoke measurements, for example, when testing smoke detectors and smoke alarms.
Comply with the EN54-7 smoke detector standard
The MIC is included in the European standards for smoke alarms and smoke detectors EN54-7 and EN 14604. This means that it is necessary by law to test ionisation smoke detectors and smoke alarms by using the MIC type EC-912.
Use the MIC EC-912 for reference measurements of smoke density:
In smoke tunnel measurements according to EN54-7
In fire sensitivity testing, according to EN54-7/9
In the UL smoke box measurements according to UL 217 and UL 268
In other applications where accurate smoke measurements are required
The Measuring Ionisation Chamber (MIC) is based on the ionisation measuring principle, using a small radioactive source emitting alpha particles. It can be used alone or in combination with optical smoke-measuring equipment.
Take good care of your MIC with proper calibration and maintenance
The MIC-EC912's recommended working life is ten years, calculated from the date of first use. To ensure that the MIC measures correctly and complies with standards, we recommend calibrating your MIC in two-year intervals. The lifetime may well be extended with proper care and calibrations.
The MIC smoke measuring system type EC-912 consists of the following parts:
MIC smoke measuring head
Multi-cable, 10 m (other lengths on request)
MIC control unit with power supply
Flow control unit with filter
Vacuum pump
Accessories, instruction manual, etc.
The smoke measuring head is installed at the measuring site and connected to the control unit via the multi-cable. The control unit, flow control unit and power supply are housed in a cabinet, which can be placed in an operator room. The vacuum pump can be placed in a convenient location.
