Linear Heat Detection
Videcon’s linear heat detection systems provide precise and reliable fire detection for a wide range of environments. These systems include analogue and digital cables, control panels, and various fixings, designed to detect heat along the entire length of the cable, making them ideal for areas where traditional detectors are impractical.
What is linear heat detection and how does it work?
Linear heat detection is a type of fire detection system that uses a cable to continuously monitor temperature changes along its length. This cable is designed to detect rapid increases in temperature that could indicate a fire. The system works by measuring the resistance of the cable, which changes with temperature. When a significant temperature rise is detected, the system triggers an alarm, which may involve alerting occupants and potentially activating fire suppression systems depending on how the system has been set up.
