    Alarmline Linear Heat Detection Power Point

    Linear heat detection systems use cable-based sensors to detect heat from fires. Alarmline offers both analogue and digital linear heat detection cables. The analogue cable provides adjustable alarm thresholds and fault detection, while the digital cable activates at fixed temperatures and is not resettable. Both cable types can be used with conventional fire panels or analogue addressable systems for localized heat detection where smoke or flames cannot be detected.

    Linear Heat Detection

    Linear Heat Detection


    Temperature Related Risk Protection
    Data supplied by fire insurance companies indicates that
    most industrial fires are caused by
    - Friction heat & sparks
    - Overheating of equipment
    - Spontaneous combustion
    - Oil & oil fired equipment.

    What is Linear Heat Detection?


    Continuous heat detector in the form of a cable

    - Alarmline Analogue: averaging


    heat detector

    - Alarmline Digital: fixed temperature


    heat detector

    What is Linear Heat Detection?


    Cable-type Sensor
    Point of Risk Detection Method
    Detects Heat From Fire
    Last stage of fire
    Typically used where smoke, flame or other detectors are
    not an option

    Stages of Fire

    Analogue LHD Cable


    Definition:
    - Multi-conductor cable containing insulators whose
    resistance varies proportionately to changes in
    temperature
    - Re-settable provided temperature does not exceed
    burn-off point of PVC coating
    - Alarm level adjusted via controller.
    - Allows testing without damaging cable

    Alarmline Analogue LHD Cables


    High resistance - standard applications
    Nylon extruded - chemical resistance

    Bronze braided - increased mechanical protection over


    standard high resistance cable
    Stainless Steel braided over nylon
    extruded cable - offshore applications.

    AlarmLine Construction
    4 conductor 0-46 mm dia copper cable
    Two conductors for heat sensing
    Two enameled conductors for continuity
    Twisted at 30 turns per foot to cancel potentially high
    voltage inductance

    How Does AlarmLine Work?


    Sensor cable has negative
    temperature coefficient
    insulation

    Alarmline LHD 4 Controller


    - Alarm level adjusted via moveable link
    - Open circuit and closed circuit fault monitoring
    - Fire and fault output to conventional fire alarm panels
    - Volt-free relay option for analogue addressable fire
    alarm panels
    - Eurocard 19 rack option.
    - Allows quick system adjustments without cable or
    hardware change.

    - Mark the Max Temperature


    -

    where an alarm must not be


    given (B) 45 degrees
    Draw a line from point on D
    through point on B to the
    switch setting line (A). This is
    the switch setting that will
    not give a false alarm at the
    Max ambient temperature.

    -In the event of a hot spot
    occuring, it can be shown
    how hot this would need to
    be to give an alarm for a
    given length

    - 10 metre length = 83 degrees


    - 1 metre length =120 degrees.
