A Legacy of Innovation in Fire Suppression
Decades spent refining the delivery of extinguishing agents (clean agent, inert gas, water, CO2) has led TLX engineers to pioneer many fire suppression solutions, including several patents. One such component, a mechanism which helps detect whether a pressure valve is connected to a latching solenoid, meets industry standard NFPA 2001, Sec 4.3.4.1.

Latching Solenoid Actuator with Container Installation Detection
Awarded June 2015
A mechanism that allows operators to detect whether the pressure valve is fully connected to the latching solenoid.* Compliant to NFPA 2001, Sec. 4.3.4.1 required by January 1, 2016.

Sensor for Connection Detection and Actuator Including Same Field of Invention
Awarded July 2017
A mechanism incorporated into a direct-acting solenoid that allows operators to detect if the valve is fully connected to the solenoid. High pressure version capable of withstanding up to 300 bar also available.

Solenoid with Supervision Switch
Awarded February 2018
A solenoid designed with integrated supervision that provides detection that the coil has been properly re-installed after testing.
