Description
EN Digital Linear Heat Detection (LHD) Cable Operating Voltage 12Vdc — 24Vdc — 36Vdc Nominal Activation Temperature 78 deg C Core conductors Ø0.9mm EN Digital LHD cable is a non-resettable line-type heat detector. The two twisted cores and held apart by an advanced temperature sensitive polymer. At a temperature, set by the manufacturing processes of the cable, the temperature sensitive polymer surrounding the two cores softens, allowing the cores to come into contact. This is an irreversible process and once the cable has activated, the section which has triggered must be cut out and replaced (not the whole cable). The cable can offer alternative overheat protection in a vast range of applications and environments, from tunnels, cable trays, warehousing to sensing changes in temperature within escalators and other applications where many risks of fire are hidden from view.
