Linear Heat Detection
The digital heat detection cable from Protectowire™ operates as a switch. Two conductors, covered by heat sensitive insulating Polymer hoses, run parallel inside a cover hose. At a preset temperature, the Polymer hose melts and the two conductors contact. This contact causes the fire alarm system to sound the alarm. The cable is UL/FM approved, it possesses very special characteristics which make it suitable for many various applicationsThe digital heat detection cable from Protectowire™ operates as a switch.

This contact causes the fire alarm system to sound the alarm. The cable is UL/FM approved, it possesses very special characteristics which make it suitable for many various applications. The main advantages are:
- Disorder and maintenance free (only preventive)
- UV resistant
- Impervious against aggressive environments
- Flexible – can be installed close to the objects
- AlarmPointLocation measuring possible
- Suitable for zone O
One could list more advantages, all of which make this cable suitable for applications where standard monitoring would fail. Additionally, the simple and quick installation results in a very favourable price/quality relation. The cable is used a.o. for the following application: tunnels, conveyor belts, storage, cooling houses, hangars, cable trays, power stations, gas storage, extraction plants and more .
