Installing temperature-sensing cables inside cable trays

Linear Heat detection cable should be located between 150mm and 250mm above the tray, free from obstructing any power or data cables within the tray itself. LHD Cable is available in multiple temperatures, and rating are the same as those for heat detectors and sprinklers. Refer to our temperature rating chart (Figure 1) for sistance in choosing the best wire for your. Senkox HSD™ Linear Hot Spot Detectors provide an ideal solution for the temperature monitoring of cable trays. HSD sensors are mounted in a sinusoidal wave configuration along the tray to maximize coverage. It explains typical causes of fire, outlines technical and organisational solutions, and provides recommendations for installation. [pdf]
