Linear heat detectors (LHD) are used in a wide range of applications and provide some unique advantages over other detection types. In areas that are difficult to access, testing and maintenance activities can be performed at a preferred location with easy access. This makes it a great choice for applications like elevator shafts, warehouse racking, industrial machinery, cold storage, solar panels, and more. In this webinar, we will be reviewing standard fixed temperature LHD as well as programmable temperature LHD. FFE’s UL Listed programmable temperature LHD offering has a range of field-selectable activation temps and does not melt or fuse upon activation. This resettable system does not require repair or replacement of any cable or components after an alarm event.

Learning Objectives:

- Identify two main differences between fixed temperature and programmable type linear heat detection systems.
- Understand which linear heat detection types are best for different applications based on ambient temperature and other factors.
- Understand some of the unique requirements for linear heat detection in elevator shaft and road tunnel applications.
