Dräger REGARD® 7000F Industrial Fire and Gas Controller
- single platform for fire and gas control
- ANSI/UL864 and NFPA 72 compliant
- supports digital and analog signals
- flexible interface for efficient communication
Highlights
The REGARD® 7000F is an ANSI/UL864* performance-approved combination fire and gas system with the functions of a traditional NFPA 72 fire panel and a process safety system in a single platform. Capable of multi-tasking and flexible, the menu-driven REGARD® 7000F is an easily configurable solution that can be customized form any industrial fire and gas applications.
A Single Platform Combination System
The Dräger REGARD® 7000F is approved as a “Combination system” on a single platform by UL to the American National Standard, ANSI/UL 864-2020. This performance approval helps enable the functionality of Process Safety and Fire Signaling on a single p … More Information
latform. The approval includes UL 864 10th edition, including revisions through May 7, 2020 and most recent 2022 version of the National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code, NFPA 72.The system is based on our flagship REGARD® 7000 modular controller for process safety applications, resulting in a single platform fire & gas system with both ICSS/SIS functionality and protected premises (PP) fire signaling functionality. The system can process digital and analog signals from gas detectors, flame detectors, addressable heat and smoke detectors and manual call points – while supporting remote access via HART® and Modbus digital loops for compatible Dräger detectors and maintaining compliance with applicable NFPA codes and UL 864 performance criteria. Its flexible interface and communication options help enable efficient visualization, notification and smooth interoperability for critical process safety and fire protection systems. The REGARD® 7000F can handle complex cause and effect scenarios to suit site-specific requirements, and its supervised circuits can be configured to trigger suppression and mitigation systems and/or activate or shut down various process control equipment such as HVAC fans and louver systems. The modular architecture makes it possible to configure multiple remote I/O panels to cover individual process units for diverse requirements throughout the entire facility.Process Safety
The performance approved Dräger REGARD® 7000F Series controllers can handle process safety and fire signaling functionality on a single platform in an open architecture so you can configure the system with any NRTL performance approved devices and ac … More Information
cessories that meet their applicable regulatory codes. The REGARD® 7000F uses its native ‘masterless’ system architecture to help prevent the entire system from failing if a single module fails (no single point of failure). This concept of individual smart modules also helps make it easy to configure each module as an independent subsystem for AIDCs (Analog Initiating Device Circuits) or DIDCs (Digital Initiating Device Circuits) using various 3-wireanalog, discrete (contact closure) or digital devices (i.e. Modbus RTU) and conventional or addressable loop modules based on the requirements of the process area application. The individual docking stations and DIN rails can then be configured for protected premises fire protection applications only, flame and gas with annunciation, process safety applications (including gas detectors, variable power relay output modules, pressure and temperature transmitters, or any combination of these devices) into one REGARD® 7000F system. With a capacity for over 600 devices and a flexibility to use multiple main and remote panels, the system is designed to cover the majority of mid- to large-sized process facilities.Fire Signaling
The Dräger REGARD® 7000F is a complete fire and gas detection solution designed and supported by the Dräger engineering team at our Houston System Center to provide 100% compliance with our ANSI/UL 864 approval and the 2022 version of the National Fi … More Information
re Alarm Code, NFPA 72.This Protected Premises (PP) system has passed the industry-preferred, most rigorous performance approval standard for fire signaling and accessories control systems, ANSI/UL 864-2020. This approval includes by reference many of the National Fire Protection Association’s most recent codes and standards, such as:Carbon Dioxide Extinguishing Systems, NFPA 12;Halon 1301 Fire Extinguishing Systems, NFPA 12A; Installation of Sprinkler Systems, NFPA 13;Water Spray Fixed Systems for Fire Protection, NFPA 15; Installation of Foam-Water Sprinkler and Foam-Water Spray Systems, NFPA 16; Dry Chemical Extinguishing Systems, NFPA 17;Wet Chemical Extinguishing Systems, NFPA 17A;National Electrical Code, NFPA 70;– National Fire Alarm Code, NFPA 72;Standard for Smoke Control Systems, NFPA 92;Standard for Water Mist Fire Protection Systems, NFPA 750;Clean Agent Fire Extinguishing Systems, NFPA 2001; andStandard for Fixed Aerosol Fire Extinguishing Systems, NFPA 2010.Dräger’s expertise and support extends beyond the hardware and software components of the REGARD® 7000F. A complete NFPA 72v2022 system solution requires much more than just the controller and devices. Today, the Dräger engineers who design each fire and gas system can provide documentation to support the system’s performance design. Dräger’s system documentation would include, where required, the prescriptive designs historically utilized for the traditional fire gas detectors and devices (e.g., smoke, heat, CO2 detectors and annunciation), as well as additional recommendations per our team’s combined experience and expertise in the design of fire and gas systems. These code-compliant, inspection-ready packages can help bring peace of mind and confidence in a project review by the authority having jurisdiction, whenever such an audit or approval may be required.Local Expertise
