Signaline Fixed Temperature Heat Sensing Cable (Signaline FT)detects a build up of heat anywhere along its length. When any point along thelength of the cable reaches a predetermined temperature an alarm is initiated.
Signaline FT is available in four different temperature settingsand two outer cover options making the Signaline FT suitable for use in a verywide range of applications.
SignalineFT Operation
Signaline FT is comprised of two steel conductors individuallyinsulated with a heat sensitive polymer that are twisted together. At the ratedtemperature the heat sensitive polymer insulation breaks down permitting thesteel conductors to move into contact with each other. This forms a closedswitch contact that can be used to signal an alarm condition at the controlpanel.
