Overview
A Nylon coated cable is the common choice when hazardous hydrocarbons such as fuel oils, diesel, kerosene etc. are present. Nylon cables are coloured black and provide suitable UV protection when used in direct sunlight. Nylon is much tougher than PVC and therefore provides additional mechanical protection.
Sensing Cable Construction
FyreLine linear fixed heat sensing cable is constructed using two twisted and tensioned, tri-metallic conductors. Each of the conductive cables are coated in a heat sensitive polymer which, when heated to its rated temperature, melts, causing the two cables to touch. The resulting short sends a signal to the fire alarm control panel, indicating that a fire (or excessive heat) has been detected. Once a fire has been detected the damaged length of cable is easily replaceable.
Approvals
The FyreLine digital linear heat detection cables are fully approved by the Underwriters Laboratories (UL) and bears the CE mark to show that they comply with all the applicable Directives including the CPR, EMC and the Low Voltage Directive (LVD).
