Linear Heat Detection Cable
Our Linear Heat Detection Cable (LHDC) System is designed to provide early detection of fire and overheating for protection in harsh-environments – including those with machinery.

Our Linear Heat Detection Cable (LHDC) System is designed to provide early detection of fire and overheating for protection in harsh-environments – including those with machinery.
Our Linear Heat Detection Cables can be fully integrated into our renowned ESP intelligent hardwired system, through the use of the addressable monitor. This allows maximum flexibility for diverse applications whilst delivering unparalleled performance, efficiency, and scalability.
Our Linear Heat Detection Cable system is simple to install due to its exceptional flexibility and adaptability across diverse environments. This versatility makes it an ideal, cost-effective fire detection solution for any application.
The LHDC range features an extensive single zonal length of the specially designed cable, which can trigger alarms for hot spots occurring on very small sections of the total cable, providing accurate pinpoint fire location and guaranteeing rapid response.
The range is designed to provide early detection of fire, detecting overheating where other forms of detection are unsuitable. This is particularly valuable in industrial environments where conventional point detection methods cannot be utilised.
Conveyor systems can present a fire risk due to equipment failure and overheating. Hot moving parts of the conveyor system can self-ignite and then carry the fire into other structures. With heat detection cable installed along the length of the conveyor, any hot spots can be immediately detected.
A small cable tray fire can cause extensive damage to building structures, and disrupt critical processes, resulting in subsequent loss. Using the LDHC range, heat is detected long before a fire outbreak occurs, negating property or equipment damage.
Due to increased air flow in tunnels, traditional smoke detectors can be prone to generating false alarms, as well as inaccuracy in fire location due to environmental contamination. The LHDC system provides accurate heat location within 1 metre.
Increasingly, Linear Heat Detection cable is being recognised as the fire protection of choice for car parks. Due to smoke fumes, damp conditions, high humidity, and higher air flows, the LHDC is suited for harsh conditions that traditional point smoke detectors cannot withstand.
Several recycling plants have had fires due to external events and equipment failures, igniting combustible waste products. Linear heat detection cable can provide early fire recognition, reducing damage costs, lessen pollution, minimise down time, and toxic fume inhalation.
Food products being transported at high temperatures have the potential risk of fire and can cause disruption to the food handling process. This can be costly in loss of production down time and damage to machinery. A mechanical fault can cause a build up in heat which can be sufficient to ignite part of the machinery. A Grain Dryer for example, is one application where a build-up of husk can ignite, causing a fire and loss of product. LHDC is the obvious choice to provide early detection of fire conditions and overheating.
The LHDC system is adaptable to a broad range of environments and applications where conventional fire detection methods cannot be utilised.
