AlarmLine Linear Heat Detection Cable
Product Code: CH/H8040AlarmLine Digital Linear Heat Sensor is a twin conductor cable with temperature-sensitive insulation protected by a special braid, PVC or fluoropolymer outer sheath to meet specific application requirements.
This concept of point-of-risk detection can also be employed as cabling for electrical fire alarm systems – subject to Local Standards (eg British Standards) or customer specification restrictions.

Operation
Alarmline Digital cable operates by shortcircuiting in a fire condition or where acceptable operating temperature levels are exceeded, to provide a quick, positive and reliable signal. Alarmline Digital may be used as a standalone detection facility with a sensor open circuit (FAULT) or short circuit (FIRE) condition, monitored by an associated simple electrical device. As an integral part of a fire protection system, Alarmline Digital cable may be used as a conventional detector and operate automatic extinguishing systems via an Extinguishing Control Panel (ECP). Alarmline Digital is a cable and detector in one. It can be installed close to potential sources of fire, and provides economical detection for a wide range of applications.
Installation
Ease of handling and stripping of the cable permits quick installation and allows conventional or proprietary methods of support to be employed. Nail type cable clips should not be used. Care must be taken to avoid mechanical impact, kinking, unacceptable heat sources or other factors which may affect the integrity and functionality of the cable.

Ordering Data
Alarmline Digital cables are available in lengths of 50 metres, 100 metres, and then 100 metre increments up to 1000 metres. Note: Refer to table for Part Number crossreference. Short lengths of cable may be joined by crimp connectors, using a crimping tool to achieve longer sensor runs.
Digital Cable
Employing a twin conductor ‘switching’ cable, the Alarmline Digital system operates by melting of internal insulation between the conductors at a predetermined temperature. This allows a short circuit which is detected by a simple electrical device, to provide a fire alarm signal. Fault conditions are detected by continuous monitoring for an open circuit state.
