    Protectowire Linear Heat Detector

    Protectowire Linear Heat Detector is a proprietary cable that detects heat anywhere along its length. The sensor cable is comprised of two steel conductors individually insulated with a heat sensitive polymer. The insulated conductors are twisted together to impose a spring pressure between them, then wrapped with a protective tape and nished with an outer jacket suitable for the environment in which the Detector will be installed.
