With the wide range of fire detection systems available it may be difficult to find which detection types best suit the specific environments within your application.

Linear Heat Detection for Cable Trays and Baskets

A cable tray is a system that is used to support insulated cables for a building’s electrical system. Cable trays are most commonly found in commercial and industrial properties and provide an alternative to open wiring or electrical conduit systems. Cable trays are particularly useful in the case where changes to a wiring system are foreseen as new cables can simply be installed by laying them in the cable tray, as opposed to routing them through pipework.

They often contain valuable pieces of history and, in some cases, priceless artifacts. There are many types of heritage properties open to the public today which can range from museums and libraries to stately homes and can sometimes see hundreds of visitors pass through them each day.
