Alarmline

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
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.


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 LHD 4 Controller
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.


Alarmline
Nomogram
- Select the sensor cable
length being used (D)100m
- 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.
Alarmline
Nomogram
-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.


Digital LHD Cable

• Definition:

- A cable which contains an insulator which melts at a


specific temperature

- Switch output provided once alarm temperature is


reached

- Not re-settable.
Alarmline Digital LHD Cables
• Polythene braid 70º C

• Nylon over sheath 70º C

• Polythene braid 90º C

• Nylon over sheath 90º C

• PVC 113º C

• PVC 180º C

• Fluoropolymer 238º C
Alarmline Digital Control Units
• Firebeta conventional panel with optional extinguishant
release module

• Any other conventional fire alarm panel and/or


extinguishant release module (retrofit).
Alarmline LHD - Advantages
• Flexibility

- Mechanically

- Electrically

• Durability

- Wide range of casings / braiding

- Operating range -65º to +200º C

- Unaffected by operating environment.

Networking Capabilities
By use of RS485 network using ModBus™ protocol

communications, it is possible to connect 7 (max) slave 1 – 4

zone units to form a network. Maximum number of zones

capable to be networked is 32.


Colour Graphics
Each unit provides, as standard, an RS485 output to a colour
graphics package by means use of a PC to provide
graphical information of the monitored zones.
Colour graphics package:
Standard features
• Site overview with providing dynamic location of each zone

• Dynamic cable location of alarm condition

• Visual indication of zonal status (Alarm, Fault & Isolate)

• Capable of importing electronic drawing files (e.g. bmp


or jpg), providing visual graphic of the area covered
Colour graphics package:
Standard features cont

• Event location available in distance from the start of


the zone (feet or metres) by mouse or touch screen

• Text allocation for length of sensor cable

• Selectable historical event log (date, time or type)


Colour graphics package:
Standard features cont

• Historical Event Log archiving capabilities

• Multiple page options for large configurations

• Optional touch screen feature


Applications
• Tunnels (road, rail, etc.)

• Power generation (cable tunnels, cable trays, etc.)

• Car parks

• Warehousing

• Petrochemical installations
