The AMFE (Automatic Mini Fire Extinguisher Unit) is a small extinguishing device that can be combined with one of our fire extinguishing control panels to create an innovative fire extinguishing system.
The extinguishing system offers reliable and cost-effective fire protection for your switch cabinet, electrical distribution board and electrical systems! If a technical fault occurs in an electrical device, the AMFE can detect and extinguish the fire and prevent re-ignition.
The extinguishing agent used, FK-5-1-12, also known under the brand name Novec™ 1230, removes the heat from the fire and thus stops the combustion reaction. As it is electrically non-conductive and evaporates without leaving any residue, there is no consequential damage.
Connection to any commercially available fire alarm system is guaranteed by compliance with DIN EN 54-2, so that our extinguishing system can be integrated into your existing infrastructure. As a certified AMFE partner of JOB GmbH, Meister Brandschutz GmbH & Co KG is always available to answer any questions you may have.
The AMFE has VdS approval. In combination with the Hekatron fire extinguishing centre as the "Amfe Pro Cert" extinguishing system, it has VdS system approval. These certifications also guarantee recognition by your property insurer.

The thermal glass sprinkler bulb integrated in the mounted trigger head breaks when a defined trigger temperature is exceeded, activating a spring mechanism which releases the cylinder with the extinguishing agent.
As this is a mechanical release, neither a power supply nor a control unit are required.
The sprinkler cylinder has a metallic coating and can therefore be connected to any standard fire alarm system coupler for fire alarm detection.
With the optional use of a fire extinguishing control centre, we enable the integration of various fire detection systems such as smoke detectors or a RAS system for smouldering fire detection/extinguishing.
The cascaded use of several AMFEs means that larger volumes can also be extinguished/protected.
