Chapter 1: Introduction
Alarmline II Digital Linear Heat Sensor Cable Technical Manual 3
The two inner cores of the sensor cable are tightly twisted together to provide a
mechanical tension between them. When the temperature-sensitive polymer
reaches a specified temperature it begins to soften, the tension between the two
inner cores forces the two conductors together creating a short circuit.
The simplistic operation of the Alarmline II Digital Sensor Cable makes it
compatible with any control equipment capable of accepting contact closure type
initiating devices.
Product range
The Alarmline II Digital Sensor Cable range consists of five fixed-temperature
alarm cables, each with a range of protective coatings.
