• Protectowire Linear Heat Detector is a proprietary cable that detects heat anywhere along its length. The sensor cable is comprised of two steel conductors individually insulated with a heat sensitive polymer. The insulated conductors are twisted together to impose a spring pressure between them, then wrapped with a protective tape and finished
  with an outer jacket suitable for the environment in which the Detector will be installed.
• Protectowire is a fixed temperature digital sensor and is therefore capable of initiating an alarm once its rated activation temperature is reached. At the rated temperature, the heat sensitive polymer insulation yields to the pressure upon it, permitting the inner conductors to move into contact with each other thereby initiating an alarm signal. This action takes place at the first heated point anywhere along the Detector’s length. It does not require that a specific length be heated in order to initiate an alarm nor is system calibration necessary to compensate for changes in the installed ambient temperature. Protectowire Linear Heat Detector provides the advantages of line coverage with point sensitivity.

• Line coverage…continuous sensitivity.
• Six alarm temperature ratings.
• Withstands severe environmental conditions.
• Approved for hazardous locations.
• Easy to install, test, and splice.
• Compatible with other initiation devices on same circuit.
• Approved for up to 50 ft. (15.2m) spacing.
