Product Details
The Linear Thermal Detector (LTD) is a twin conductor cable with a heat-sensitive covering protected by an outer sheath. In a fire or overheat condition, the heat sensitive covering melts, causing the conductors to short, which alarms the system.
Features
- Alarm temperature: 177°C/350°F
- Maximum operating temperature: 105°C/221°F
- Continuous detection over complete length of sensor
- Simple assembly using suitable fixings (e.g. cable ties or P clamps)
- LTD spacers protect against damage
- Continuous line monitoring using Kidde end of line connector
- Provides alarm signal to Kidde controllers
Details
Activation occurs when the temperature-sensitive insulation on the two internal wires melt shorting the wires together. Detector is routed within hazard area.
