Reacton® Detection Tube - a heat

sensitive linear heat/flame detector. It is
designed to burst at any location
throughout its route where there is sufficient
heat. The Reacton Detection Tube serves
as the delivery mechanism of the
extinguishing agent in Direct configurations
and only the detection & actuation
mechanism in Indirect form.

• Discharge network made up of flexible

discharge hoses or stainless steel tube of
varying lengths. Specialist discharge
nozzles then deliver the extinguishing agent
where it is required. (Indirect Configurations

NO ELECTRICAL POWER SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The majority of systems on the market rely on a
constant source of power to detect and activate
the system. At Reacton through over 30 years of
experience we know that relying on a constant
supply of electricity on critical assets for detection
and activation is not ideal.

Many systems on the market fail to detect and

activate due to loss of power to the control panel,
relying on the operator to activate the system.

The Reacton® system is constantly in automatic

mode regardless of the power method of the
application.
