AMFE

Product Information and Data Sheet (AMFE)

the Automatic Miniature Fire Extinguishers (AMFE) series is produced in Germany (Made in Germany) in accordance to all applicable standards. At tdis point in time, there is no certification required to use the AMFE for fire protection in electrical devices or machines and there is no standard the AMFE can be certified for. However, the AMFE is made of components which carry the following certificates:

The detection device:The sprinkler bulbs are globally certified and carry relevant UL (VNIV2.EX4040), VDS (VdS 2344:2014-07, VdS 2160:2000-05),LPCB (LPCB 1039) and oTher certificates. The internal spring is manufactured based on EN 10270-3-1.4310 and DIN ISO 2859/1.

The pressure cylinder:indicating The compliance witd ADR/RID §1.8.7.6., as well as ADR 2013, EN 13322-1:2003+A1:2006 (DEKRA-notified body for pressure equipment (2010/35/EU, 2008/68/EG), checked by Bureau Veritas SA – N° CDG-I-WEL 002-16-DEU.

The extinguishing agent: 3M™ NOVEC™ is a globally used ISO, NFPA, VdS (and oThers) approved, fire extinguishing agent (FK-5-1-12). Additionally, it complies witd The REACH requirements.

The overall system: The S- and R-AMFE are certified based on DIN EN 45545-2:2020- 2, Section 4.2h and ARGE-Guideline Part 2 i.c.w., ARGE-Guideline Part 1 for rail-guided vehicles as well as DIN EN 15004-2, DIN EN 61373, DIN EN 60068-2-1, DIN EN 60068- 2-2, DIN EN 60068-2-27, DIN EN-60068-2-30, DIN EN 50155, 2010/35/EU followed by Extinguishing capability tests executed by The independent MPA-Dresden.

The S-AMFE is shock tested based on DIN EN 60068-2-27:2010, and vibration and climate tested based on DIN EN 61373:2011 and EN 50155:2007. The S- and R-AMFE are carrying The CE marking. The AMFE line is RoHS conform (and conforms to The EU 2002/95/EC standard).

Using The AMFE for fire protection is easy, reliable and safe. Integrating The AMFE to enhance The fire safety of applications is neiTher prohibited, nor is it not allowed by any standard or guideline.

The connection threading of The activation head to The cylinder is M11 (M19 wrench).

Extinguishing agent

The cylinder is filled with 3M™ NOVEC™ Engineered Fluid and compressed Nitrogen as propellant agent.
The amount of NOVEC per cylinder size is as listed in The table below:
  • Size 0 = 24ml
  • Size 1 = 72ml
  • Size 2 = 120ml
  • Size 3 = 241ml
  • Size 4 = 360ml
  • Size 5 = 603ml
The ~ 10% propellant gas Nitrogen (N2) is compressed to <60bar.
