Fire Friday Series

What is important when selecting a fiber optic Linear Heat Detection (LHD) system? Is it wrong to equate measurement time with response time? How many channels are optimal for your configuration?

AP Sensing was launching a new series to find out more every Friday about fiber optic LHD including:

  • sensor cable approvals
  • spatial resolution
  • system configuration
  • alarm thresholds
  • system reliability factors
  • and more

AP Sensing_Fire_Friday: Linear Heat Detection Response Time
Fire Friday #1: Linear Heat Detection Response Time

The alarm parameters in AP Sensing's LHD system are freely configurable, but we offer sets of alarm parameters that have been tested by reputable institutes such as UL, FM and the VdS. This gives our customers the assurance to find an optimal balance between fast response time and false alarm resilience.

Fire Friday #2: Spatial Resolution

AP Sensing’s LHD system allows a freely configurable spatial resolution in order to adapt the system to actual project demands, also considering other parameters.

Fire Friday #3: Channels

One of the advantages of fiber optic Linear Heat Detection (LHD) is not only the comparatively long range, but also the possibility of connecting multiple sensor cables.

Fire Friday #4: Radiant Heat

Our sensor cables are specifically optimized to detect thermal radiation and are sensitive to both radiation and convection. This has been confirmed in many fire tests.

 AP Sensing_Fire_Friday: Certifications
Fire Friday #5: Certifications

As a manufacturer particularly committed to fire detection, AP Sensing offers the most comprehensive portfolio of certifications, in order for our customers to receive the highest level of system reliability and performance.
