Sinorix™ al-deco STD – knowing that

all machines are protected from fire
without compromise.
The European jurisdiction claims fire protection for machine tools
and their equipment that have a high risk of a fire incident. There-
fore, Siemens offers the intelligent Sinorix™ al-deco STD object
protection system with the following main features: fire detection
and extinguishing without requiring an electrical source, online
monitoring and automatic recording of all security-relevant
functions. In short: uncompromising protection and safety.

Uncompromising –
all-around protection for safety.
The Sinorix™ al-deco STD object protection system can be easily tailored to
individual requirements. Thus, reliable and effective all-around protection
for machine tools is ensured.
쮿 Detection and extinguishing
The heart is a tube-shaped linear fire
sensor named Lifdes™ (Linear fire
detection source). This patented sen-
sor, produced with a high-molecular
polymer, is stressed by a pressure of
15 bar. Connected to a fire extinguish-
ing bottle via a valve, it is permanently
under this pressure and will burst if
its ambient temperature rises above
110 °C. In this way, it acts like a linear
sensor that will always be activated
right where the activation temperature
has been reached first. Practically at
the same time as the pressure drops
in the burst Lifdes sensor, the valve
of the bottle will be opened and the
machine is switched to “EMERGENCY
STOP”. The extinguishing agent is in-
troduced via a separate extinguishing
line and appropriately arranged extin-
guishing nozzles. The system requires
no external power for the detection
and extinguishing of fire. This hap-
pens pneumatically, and is therefore
insensitive to all kinds of technical
interferences. Incorrect activation
of the system is virtually impossible.

쮿 Measurement
The Sinorix™ al-deco STD object pro-
tection system measures the quantity
of the extinguishing agent online,
monitors the pressure of the detection
line, the operating as well as the main
power status. The interface displays all
functions optically/acoustically, for ex-
ample an alarm is activated when the
loss of extinguishing agent exceeds
20% as well as in case of a fire inci-
dent. In case of a power outage, the
functions of the interface will be held
up by means of a battery. The system
can be reset in a controlled manner
with the key switch. Therefore, it is
possible to instantly put the machine
tools into operation again after a fire
incident. However, the fact that the
Sinorix al-deco STD object protection
system is not yet operational will be
clearly communicated and recorded.

쮿 Alarming 쮿 All-around protection and support Sinorix™ al-deco STD –

An alarm is given either optically/
acoustically (fire alarm) or through the
interface. A connection to an existing
fire control panel is possible. Addition-
al signals such as loss of extinguishing
agent, ON/OFF of the extinguishing
system, fire alarm etc. can be used via
potential-free contacts for other appli-
cations as well.
쮿 Maintenance and recommissioning
The maintenance of the system is dis-
played electronically and can be carried
out, just as a recommissioning after a
fire incident, by the operator himself
– with the help of the corresponding
documentation if required. The extin-
guishing agent containers are fitted
with a special filling adaptor and can be
refilled from any gas refilling station.
The broad Sinorix portfolio includes
solutions with natural and chemical
extinguishing agents as well as wa-
ter-combined solutions for object and
room protection – tailored to individ-
ual requirements. Siemens employees
offer support with a comprehensive
range of services – from risk assess-
ment, system design, installation,
and commissioning to maintenance.
Expertise, innovative strength, and
solution competence are available
around the world.

쮿 Highest safety
With the Sinorix™ al-deco STD object
protection system both the detection
of a fire as well as the activation of
the extinguishing process are based
on pneumatic functions. Thus, the
system is able to detect and extinguish
a fire without needing an electrical
source. No special requirements, such
as blocking air, control signals or alarm
criteria, are placed on the machine
tools. In case of a fire, the switching
off of the machine is the only remain-
ing connection between the Sinorix
al-deco STD object protection system
and the machine tool. This is carried
out via a potential-free contact, and
has no other connection to the extin-
guishing system.
쮿 Comprehensive monitoring
All security-relevant functions of the
Sinorix al-deco STD object protection
system are monitored online and indi-
cated acoustically and optically in case
of an incident. The operating data as
well as these functions are automati-
cally recorded in a long-term memory.

sures correct operation after a rein-
statement.
