Kidde Alarmline (500m) EN54-22 Analogue LHD Cable PVC

The Kidde AlarmLine AAE-0500 is an analogue linear heat detection cable in a PVC outer sheath, supplied in 500m lengths. It is suitable for indoor applications where the sensor cable is unlikely to be subjected to physical damage or exposed to harsh environmental conditions. This unique sensor cable and its method of control continuously responds to changes in temperature. The technology offers the facility to programme an early warning pre-alarm as well as the specified alarm temperature. If the temperature surrounding the cable reaches the pre-alarm point, the control unit triggers a warning giving the user time to survey the area at risk. Only when the temperature reaches the specified set alarm point will the control unit trigger full alarm.

The optional 2-stage programmable alarm settings make the system and method of overheat detection flexible and ideal for use in a variety of different environments and applications. The technology automatically compensates for changes in the ambient temperature to maintain the accuracy of alarm temperature as well as offering up to 500 metres of continuous detection per control unit. The controller is compatible with any conventional or addressable fire alarm panel or other building management system.

Analogue LHD cable is “self-restorable” meaning it is not always necessary to replace the cable after an incident. Once the alarm has been triggered, and depending on the severity of the incident, the system can be reset.
