Fireload Optimised Displays

Only Distec offers: non-combustible monitors of the highest fire protection class

A1 Fire protection in high volume public areas

Displays are more common than ever and are now typically seen in public buildings displaying a wide range of content. Displays are frequently placed in areas that are critical in an emergency fire evacuation.

It is important to use monitors that do not pose a fire hazard. In case of fire, they should cause as little smoke and fire load as possible.

Distec fire protection monitors - as safe as brick, steel and concrete!

The new BLO-Line® monitors are certified according to fire protection class A1, which also applies to bricks, steel and concrete. These fire protection monitors -optional with touch- offer the highest level of safety in the event of a fire. They are available in sizes from 24" to 65" in parallel to the previous B-s1, d0 certified monitors. Distec uses durable displays that are designed for 24/7 operation.

Special fire protection features of our BLO-Line®:

- suitable for escape routes

- special fire protection glass (with or without touch screen)

- Materials do not develop smoke gases and do not contribute to the fire load

- with fire protection class certificate

The fire behavior, i.e. the flammability and combustibility of the monitors, was determined following the SBI method according to DIN 13823:2015-02. Heat and smoke development are evaluated, as well as burning dripping. The fire test was carried out in accordance with the European standard as per DIN EN13501-1.

Preventative fire protection with BLO-A1 monitors

Classification of the BLO Monitors

Comparison of Classes

Fires in buildings and their effects on the environment endanger the life and health of human beings. In order to prevent the occurrence and spread of damaging fires, there are strict regulations on fire protection in Europe the state building code and in the model building regulations (federal law), § 14. The following protection goals are binding:

• The development of a fire must be prevented.
• The spread of fire and smoke must be prevented.
• It must be made possible to save people.
• Effective extinguishing work must be made possible.

Having monitors installed in the area of ​​building entrances, in rescue and escape routes is of particular importance. These are areas that, in the event of a fire, ensure a way out for the people in the building to protect themselves and to find a way out in order to protect their health and to save lives. Therefore, every fire protection officer particularly focuses on these areas.

Monitors in all their equipment are electronic components that represent a high-risk potential in the event of a fire. According to German fire law, the installation of such systems in rescue routes is generally not permitted.

Fire protection monitors from Distec are highly advisable since they are certified and proven to be non-flammable.

Fire protection monitors with touchscreens

Up to now, touch solutions for fire protection monitors were not possible.

The main reason for this was the fire protection glass, which, due to its special shielding structure, prevents the PCAP touch sensor from functioning correctly. Even with monitor solutions with fire protection housing, the use of a touch screen is not possible due to the design.

Thanks to the close cooperation with our glass partners, we have succeeded in developing a solution that brings PCAP touch and fire protection glass together.

We are the first supplier to offer an independent fire protection monitor with PCAP touch in sizes from 24.0 " to 54.6".
