Introduction

"DIGITAL" Linear Heat Detection - A heat sensing cable which monitors and detects changes in temperature at ANY and ALL points along its length. Project design length requirements are not altered or affected by high ambient temperatures. Multiple alarm temperatures possible from a single sensor cable run. By "point of risk" installation, there is no reliance on favourable airflows for early detection of overheat (no visible flame) conditions and system offers possible prevention of fires!

Description

The PROLINE "DIGITAL" TH linear heat detection adopts a 3.5 mm (0.138in) external diameter single pair (two conductors) heat sensitive cable as the basis for its overheat/fire detection system.

At a pre-selected temperature, the thermal sensitive polymer (extruded around BOTH the sensor cables inner tinplated copper coated steel conductors) softens, allowing the signalling cores/conductors - that are twisted together to form a spring like pressure between them - to move into contact with each other producing an alarm signal. A mechanical tension is constantly and uniformly maintained along the entire length of the detector. If conductor continuity is broken - with inner insulation maintained (i.e. non alarm state), an open circuit fault condition will be signaled.

An outer extrusion of corrosion and abrasion resistant polymer maintains the conductor twisting over the full length of sensor cable installed and allows for its installation in external weather conditions and its application within more severe local environments. For applications where a high risk of chemical corrosion or mechanical abrasion has been identified, an industrial "nylon" or stainless steel braided version of the sensor cable can be supplied.

The PROLINE TH range of linear heat sensor cables are currently manufactured in a choice of four (4) temperature ratings to allow for variations in individual project maximum ambient and/or alarm temperature requirements. The authority having jurisdiction should always be contacted to confirm suitability of specified alarm temperature rating. It is advisable to allow a minimum of +11C/+20F between maximum normal ambient and minimum alarm temperature in order to avoid any potential false alarm conditions.
