MICROSITES

PROLINE is one of the very few Companies in the Fire Protection Industry  to provide free linear detection equipment design assistance, market leading pricing, prompt deliveries from a large UK based stock holding,commissioning support, high quality products, International certification (which includes FM approvals AND UL listing) AND a maximum 24 hours response to customer communications. The Company ALSO  provides its more loyal customers and distributors with the opportunity to participate in the Company MICROSITE system whereby ALL Corporate documentation - including product literature - illustrates the customer Company name & address, contact name, telephone numbers, email and web addresses ...not Proline's!

Cost to the customer /  Distributor for MICROSITE service ...NIL!

 

SKYPE Video Conferencing

  • Conferencing with ... brianproline ... provides you with the personal and instant  contact without having to tie up valuable and costly time by office visits!

 

Who / What is Proline?

With the majority of  Industrial fires being undetected overheat conditions which are allowed to progress to combustion - it makes sense to invest in a fire PREVENTION capability - PROLINE "TH" DIGITAL LINEAR TEMPERATURE SENSING  regardless of environmental conditions and length of sensor cable that would be exposed to an overheat condition.

Consider also a system which can be easily integrated into a customer central control panel and which provides ALARM LOCATION together with pre-alarm, ambient temperature rise indication, site programmable multiple alarm outputs, continued detection with break in a cable - PROLINE "TH" DIGITAL LINEAR TEMPERATURE SENSING.

Proline is able to offer fibre optic linear temperature sensing as well as its  FM approved and UL listed "digital" LHS but we would advise that - unlike some - the much more costly fibre optic system is recommended only where it can offer financially justified advantages over "digital". For example, does a temperature accuracy of +/- 2C or better and/or 1m spatial resolution offer an end user measureable benefits on overheat and incipient fire detection risks?  We'd suggest not when the "digital" linear with ZI optional interface units (features list below) can provide so much at a much lower price and with International certification!

Introduction to PROLINE

PROLINE ....an FM approved,  UL listed, Russian Market and Bomba (Malaysia) Certified combined detector and cable which monitors temperature changes at ANY and ALL points along its length  and can be installed at the "point of risk" to detect pre-combustion overheat conditions without reliance on any favourable airflows. Alarm temperature operation is NOT reliant upon any minimum length of sensor cable exposure. (Alarm temperature is the same for 1cm exposure as for 2kms length)!

Direct connection to customer central alarm control panel without use of a Proline supplied interface unit or increased signalling capabilities obtained by specifying a ZI interface unit (see below).

A range of Features and Benefits that offer end user customers  CONTINUED DETECTION - EVEN  WITH BREAK  IN SENSOR CABLE OR SUPPLY LOOP CABLE

Features include:-

  • DETECTION AT "POINT OF RISK" or WITHIN BULK AREAS
  • CABLE & DETECTOR COMBINED
  • EXTRUSIONS & BRAIDING TO SUIT ALL RISKS
  • SENSOR CABLES DO NOT PROPAGATE FLAME
  • ALARM TEMPERATURE RANGE: +45C /113F to +185C /365F
  • NO MINIMUM LENGTH EXPOSURE REQUIREMENT
  • AMBIENT TEMPERATURE RANGE: -40C / -40F to +125C /+257F
  • COMPATIBLE WITH ALL CENTRAL ALARM CONTROL PANELS
  • 10.66m /35ft SPACINGS FOR AREA COVERAGE ( UL  RECOMMENDATION)
  • OVERHEAT DETECTION = FIRE PREVENTION
  • INCIPIENT FIRE DETECTION WITHIN ADVERSE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
  • NOT AFFECTED BY RFI or EMC
  • ATEX CERTIFIED - ZENER BARRIER FOR HAZARDOUS AREA RISK PROTECTION
  • SECTION REPLACEMENT OF ALARM DAMAGED LENGTH ONLY
  • OPTIONAL INTERFACE UNIT RANGE - MULTIPLE SIGNALLING OPTIONS  (see below)

Remember

THE LARGEST % OF INDUSTRIAL FIRES ARE UNDETECTED OVERHEAT CONDITIONS WHICH ARE ALLOWED TO PROGRESS TO COMBUSTION.  DETECTION OF AN OVERHEAT COULD ...PREVENT ...A FIRE STARTING!!!

Central Alarm System Integration

 

PROLINE "TH" SENSOR CABLES MAY BE CONNECTED TO A CUSTOMER CENTRAL FIRE ALARM OR BUILDING MANAGEMENT CONTROL PANEL WITHOUT THE REQUIREMENT FOR ANY PROLINE SUPPLIED INTERFACE UNIT.

CONNECTION TO BE BY ZONE MONITOR UNIT (ZMU), INPUT/OUTPUT (I/O) OR SIMILAR DEVICE.

WHERE ALARM POINT LOCATION CAN BE OF BENEFIT (AS IN OVERHEAT DETECTION - NO VISIBLE FLAMES) A PROLINE ZI INTERFACE UNIT SHOULD BE INSTALLED BETWEEN THE "TH" SENSOR CABLE AND ZMU or I/O UNIT.

Case
Studies

 

BUSH FIRE DETECTION -Proline sensor Installed  for 24/7 detection of bush fires of accidental or arson origin.

From Australia to U.S.A. Proline Linear Detection installations have been successfully protecting life, corporate investment and the environment from the hazards of overheat and fire conditions.

 

GARAGE PROTECTION - Proline linear temperature sensing provides uninterrupted operation without unwanted alarm signal generation and with rapid response to a fire condition occuring within a garage or car park area. The Proline sensor cable follows the contours of the roof ( plus interim vertical supports where necessary) to bring detection closer to the origin of the fire and to provide detection at ALL points along the sensor cable length....not just at specific locations /points along its length.

 

MANUAL CALL POINT ZONE WIRING -  Use of Proline sensor cable for wiring of manual call points improves detection capabilities of an incipient fire condition - without the end user incurring any large increase in cost. Of particular advantage in corridor type locations where air pressure can restrict smoke movement to below a ceiling mounted point detector increasing the reliance on the presence of an individual to operate a local manual call point. Proline sensor cable will provide an additional detection capability.

Our
Technologies

Proline FIBRE OPTIC and DIGITAL Linear Heat Sensing (LHS) technologies provide major advantages to end user customers- including possible FIRE PREVENTION-in an increasing number of Industrial and Commercial risk areas.

Detection of abnormal temperature rise at ANY and ALL points along a rugged small diameter cable. This can provide alarm point location, pre-alarm, ambient rise indication and multiple output signalling information. Either as a "stand alone" system or for integration with any Central Fire Alarm or Building Management Control Panel.

Continued detection with a break in either the Proline sensor cable or the supply/monitoring/signalling cable loop is a valuable feature provided by the Company ZI-07 interface unit.
