    MAN3111-3 2 Important Guidelines Please read this instruction leaflet thoroughly before commencing installation. Support the detection cable at 1m (3ft) to 1.5m (5ft) intervals. Test the detection cable before installation using a multimeter. Ensure the maximum ambient temperature rating of the detection cable will not be exceeded during storage or normal operating conditions (-40°C to +90°C).

  • Page 7: Typical System Configurations

    MAN3111-3 5 Typical System Configurations Conventional Fire Alarm Systems LST Analogue Linear Heat Detection (LHD) cable should be connected to the initiating device circuit on a conventional fire alarm control panel. Leader cable may be used between the interface unit and fire alarm control panel if the area requiring protection is some distance away from the control panel.

    MAN3111-3 7 Installation Hardware There are many applications which Linear Heat Detection cable being spanned. Commercially available stainless steel wire with is used to provide protection for. Please see the Ampac Linear a diameter of approximately 2mm is suitable for use as a guide Heat Detection Cable Applications Guide for more information.
  • Page 10: Splicing

    MAN3111-3 9 Splicing If the analogue linear heat detection cable gets damaged or has exceeded the maximum restorable temperature of 125°C (257°F), the section can be removed and a new section spliced in its place. Care should be taken during splicing to ensure the core conductors do not come into contact with each other at any point and the final spliced joint is secure and made waterproof.
