Fiber Optic

This product is best described as a continuous linear thermometer actively reporting temperature readings in real time. The restorable linear heat detector is comprised of quartz fibers enclosed in a low smoke zero halogen jacket. Immune to all EMI and RFI, the fiber optic linear detector can be configured to offer custom alarm criteria and zone sizes up to 30,000 feet (10 + km) in length.

UL Listed Alarm Operating Temperature is programmable from 135 F (57C) to 235 F (113C).

EPC (Extruded Polyvinyl Chloride) – is a durable flame-retardant vinyl outer jacket designed for interior commercial and industrial applications. Features of this jacket include low moisture absorption, resistance to many common chemicals, and excellent flexibility at low temperatures.

XCR (Extreme Corrosion Resistance) – is a high-performance fluoropolymer jacket designed for both interior and exterior environments. Features of this jacket include excellent chemical resistance, abrasion resistance, weather resistance, and high-temperature performance. XCR is the only heat detector that is FM-approved for corrosive environments.

LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) – is a durable outer jacket designed for interior commercial and industrial applications requiring low smoke zero halogen performance. Features of this jacket include low moisture absorption, resistance to many common chemicals, and excellent flexibility at low temperatures.

XLT (Extreme Low Temperature) – is an outer jacket specifically selected for cold storage and freezers. Features of this jacket include low moisture absorption and excellent performance in extremely low temperatures. This detector has been UL and FM tested to –60°F (–51°C)

EPR (Extruded Polypropylene Rubber) – is an outer jacket designed for both interior and exterior environments. Features of this jacket include good abrasion resistance, chemical resistance, and weather resistance over a wide temperature range.
