Page 6: Introduction & Measurement Principle
Introduction & Measurement Principle Protectowire Company, Inc. FIBERSYSTEM 8000 PTS (Protectowire Temperature Sensing) Series is optimized and certified for fire detection applications. The instrument can be configured for various alarm criteria and can be connected to a fire control panel using the relay inputs and outputs. It is categorized as a DTS (Distributed Temperature Sensing) System which are optical fibers functioning as linear sensors.
