EDIX - Emergency Evacuation Facility
|
||||
 |
||||
|
|
||||
| The EDIX is a double key access interlock complete with emergency exit, suitable for use on hinged doors. The interlock is manufactured in a durable stainless steel and comes with the stainless steel figure or Q type lock portions. Two internal crashbar options are available, a light duty two point aluminium or a heavy duty three point stainless steel, the latter being suitable for the heavy duty steel turbine doors. The lock is ideally suited to use in harsh or corrosive environments where the lock is subject to heavy use. Typical industries using the EDIX are Fire protection, Turbine and Offshore Industry. | ||||

| Under normal operating conditions the Isolation key is free, the Personnel key is trapped, the catch is retained and the door is locked closed. The door can only be opened when the Isolation key has been inserted and turned and the personnel key removed. Once the personnel key has been removed, the handle can be operated and the door opened. The handle is operating the internal crashbar, with the keys simply controlling how the operator gets the door to a condition that will allow access. With the door open, the Isolation key is trapped within the lock. The internal crashbar will override the external lock at all times making it suitable for the most hazardous of areas. | ||||

|
The EDIX is designed to operate as part of an integrated safety system, controlling access to hazardous areas. A typical example of how the product is used in an access control system is shown below.

The removal of the isolation key in the KS20, switches the automatic fire extinguishing system from an automatic mode to a manual mode only. This key is inserted in the MBV interlock fitted to the CO2 valve. With the key inserted, the valve is operated to the closed position, allowing the removal of the next key in the sequence. This key is inserted into the isolation lock on the EDIX and the Personnel key removed. The door can now be opened, by operating the handle. The personnel key is then taken into the area by the operative. The door can only be opened once the electrical and gas supplies have been switched into a safe condition. |
