XERO aerosol range by Technoswitch

SMART Alarms & Fire Safety Handbook 2026 Fire & Safety

XERO’s advanced fire suppression technology delivers a compact, cost-effective fire extinguishing solution with a long service life for a wide range of industries

The range offers electrically activated units that can be integrated into fire detection and control systems, as well as standalone thermally activated units. The solid aerosol-forming compound is housed in a hermetically sealed stainless-steel canister, which is non-pressurised and capable of withstanding harsh, corrosive environments.

XERO units can protect high-fire-risk applications, including battery energy storage systems, EV charging stations, EV vehicles, electrical switchgear, transformer rooms, flammable liquid storage areas, power plants, and mining vehicles.

The range includes electrically operated options certified for use in hazardous area enclosed environments. These units are UL-listed and ATEX-certified and are suited for industries such as oil and gas, power generation, flammable liquids and hazardous materials storage, battery storage, laboratories, transportation, and manufacturing.

XERO condensed aerosol generators are non-pressurised, and no pipework is required to distribute the condensed aerosol fire suppressant throughout the protected area. The simple and robust design significantly reduces installation and maintenance costs.

The non-corrosive, non-conductive fire- suppressant agent leaves little residue when post-discharge cleanup procedures are followed. Downtime, cleanup, and repair costs are therefore minimized in the event of a fire or discharge. XERO units can be quickly and easily replaced, further reducing costly delays in the event of a fire
