Page 20: Jointing
Chapter 2: Design and installation Jointing One of the advantages of the Alarmline II Digital Sensor Cable is that damaged sections of cable can be cut out and replaced without having to replace the entire cable run. When a cable has been activated or has been damaged, the section of the cable can be cut away and a new section of cable can be jointed into the existing cable run. - Page 21 The alarm resistor value will vary dependent on the control equipment/interface and will be specified by the equipment manufacturer.

Page 23: Hazardous Area Installation
When installing equipment in hazardous areas close liaison with the responsible site personnel is essential. Alarmline II Digital Sensor Cable is classified as “simple apparatus” when it comes to Hazardous areas and does not require certification. The sensor cable can be installed within a hazardous area provided suitable safety barriers are used between the sensor cable and the control equipment. - Page 24 Chapter 2: Design and installation Alarmline II Digital Linear Heat Sensor Cable Technical Manual...

Check that the conductor resistance per km/ft. does not exceed that listed in “Technical specifications” on page 5. Functional testing Alarmline II Digital Sensor Cable is non-restorable and it is therefore not possible to test the cable by applying heat without damaging it. Simulated tests are recommended. - Page 27 3. Confirm that the cable indicates the relevant alarm condition. 4. Remove the length of test cable and connect the end-of-line device to the sensor cable before resetting the monitoring equipment. Alarmline II Digital Linear Heat Sensor Cable Technical Manual...

(dust, oil, grease), it is a very difficult environment to install any fire detection equipment. Alarmline II Digital Sensor Cable is flexible enough to be installed close to the main points of risk and be unaffected by the environment. Once the cable has been installed there is no need to access it for maintenance purposes. -

̶ either way overheating in a high voltage cable can cause significant damage. Alarmline II Digital Sensor Cable is a recognised solution for being able to protect these cables close to the point of risk. -
Page 35: Floating Roof Storage Tanks And Bund Areas
A rim seal system is provided between the tank shell and the roof which prevents rim evaporation. Alarmline II Digital Sensor Cable can be installed to detect an overheat condition or fire around the rim seal and can be used to provide a control signal to an automatic firefighting system (such as a foam system). - Page 36 – this information should be readily available from the manufacturer of the monitoring equipment (see Figure 7 and Figure 8 below).

Page 37: Cold Storage And Freezer Warehouses
Cold storage areas and freezer warehouses provide a difficult environment for many types of fire detection due to the sub-zero operating temperatures of such areas. With its minimum operating temperature of −40°C (−40°F) Alarmline II Digital Sensor Cable can provide an acceptable solution, allowing it to be installed in the risk area without being effected by the environment. - Page 38 Chapter 4: Application guidelines Alarmline II Digital Linear Heat Sensor Cable Technical Manual...
