ProReact EN Analogue Installation Manual
Document Ref. PACC-MAN
Important - Read before commencing installation
Please read this instruction leaet thoroughly before commencing installation and ensure all
recommendations and advice are followed.
Install the ProReact EN Analogue Linear Heat Detection System accordingly to meet local and country
installation requirements.
For UL Listed installations, ProReact EN Analogue linear heat detection cable must be installed in
accordance with NFPA 70 & 72, NEC 760 (National Electric Code).
For EN54-22 approved installations, ProReact EN Analogue linear heat detection cable must be installed
in accordance with DIN VDE 0833-2 or country equivalent (such as BS 5839-1).
Installation of the ProReact EN Analogue Linear Heat Detection System should only be undertaken by
trained, qualied personnel.
Avoid allowing the detection cable to come in contact with any material which acts as a
heat sink. This may aect the activation of the cable in alarm situations.
Do not connect lengths of ProReact EN Analogue Linear Heat Detection cable in ‘T’
connections or spurs.
Do not paint the detection cable.
Do not place the detection cable under excessive tension.
Do not bend the detection cable at right angles. Refer to the minimum bend radius
value for each sensor cable type.
Avoid subjecting the detection cable to mechanical damage which could result in false
activation.
Avoid laying the detection cable in areas where heavy trac may result in the cable
being crushed.
Do not use ProReact EN Analogue sensor cable with dierent three letter codes on
the same zone. ProReact EN Sensor cables with dierent three letter codes must use
separate ProReact EN Analogue Composite Control Units.
Support the detection cable at a maximum of 0.5m (1.5ft) intervals.
Test the detection cable on the reel, before installation, using a multimeter.
Ensure the maximum ambient temperature of the application will not exceed the
allowed maximum application temperature for the chosen alarm temperature.
When protecting an area, ensure adjacent runs of detection cable are spaced at less
than or equal to the maximum allowed spacing detailed in the corresponding re
alarm system design standard.
Ensure the detection cable is not in contact with any material which may conduct
heat onto the cable. A silicone sleeve must be placed between the xing clip and
detection cable.
Ensure any cable glands used are tightened to form a secure, moisture proof seal
around the detection cable. Some applications may benet from silica gel packets in
the control unit and end-of-line enclosures to dry out any residual moisture.
Periodically test the ProReact EN Analogue Linear Heat Detection system to ensure
correct operation of the system.
Ensure between 1% to 3% of the ProReact EN Analogue sensor cable is accessible
post-installation to allow functional testing to be carried out
