DTSX1 Fiber Optic Linear Heat Detection

The DTSX1 Fiber Optic Linear Heat Detection system provides an innovative solution for temperature sensing, particularly in industrial settings. It employs Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS), where the fibre optic cable itself functions as the heat sensor, offering precise temperature and location accuracy over extensive distances.

This system is a cost-effective choice for monitoring large areas, capable of rapid heat detection across lengths up to 16 kilometres per cable. Crucially, it is resistant to electromagnetic interference, ensuring accurate measurements even in high-noise environments.

The DTSX1 functions by emitting a light pulse through the cable and analysing the refractions to gather temperature and distance data, allowing for the simultaneous detection of multiple hotspots.

Its applications are diverse, encompassing fire detection in challenging conditions such as tunnels and industrial plants, power monitoring for critical infrastructure like underground cables, and identifying temperature abnormalities in industrial processes. The system and its armoured cables meet the European fire detection certification standard EN 54-22.
