Page 5: Digital Linear Heat Introduction
Introduction to Digital Linear Heat Detection Technology Protectowire Linear Heat Detector is a sensor cable that detects heat anywhere along its length. The sensor cable is comprised of two steel conductors individually insulated with a heat sensitive polymer. The insulated conductors are twisted together to impose a spring pressure between them, then wrapped with a protective tape and finished with an outer jacket suitable for the environment in which the Detector will be installed. - Page 6 Figure 2 - When the detector is exposed to heat at a point along its length the thermoplastic coating at that point softens and the spring pressure between conductors causes them to contact each other creating a short circuit. The short circuit is sensed by the initiation device circuit which reports an alarm. HEAT Figure 2 This very reliable method of detection has been in use for over 75 years in the fire protection industry and is...

Page 27: Intrinsic Safety Barrier, Option I
9/7/16 DESCRIPTION: Some applications of PROTECTOWIRE PIM-530 linear heat detection circuits require energy limiting to prevent explosions in areas classified as hazardous locations. One method used to accomplish this “Intrinsic Safety” is to utilize diode shunt barriers. Diode shunt barriers consist of zener diodes with current limiting resistors which “shunt” excess voltage spikes to ground. -
