Linear Heat Detectors
Our linear heat detectors provide continuous fire monitoring across industrial and commercial applications. Designed for extreme environments, these systems offer early heat detection through fixed-temperature activation or real-time thermal measurement. With options for digital, CTI, and fiber optic technologies, our solutions ensure reliable performance in challenging conditions.
Interface Modules
Interface modules enable seamless connection between detectors and fire alarm control panels. These components support alarm point location tracking, modbus output via RS-485, and event history logging. Available in PHSC and CTI configurations, they ensure compatibility with diverse fire protection systems while maintaining operational reliability.
Control Panels
Customizable fire alarm control panels manage detection systems in industrial and commercial settings. Our FireSystem SRP-44, 2000, and 2600 models offer scalable solutions with specialized features for hazardous environments. These panels integrate with linear heat detectors to provide centralized monitoring and response coordination.
Installation Accessories
Approved fasteners, splicing kits, and mounting hardware ensure proper detector installation. Our specialized components maintain system integrity while simplifying deployment in challenging environments. From strain relief connectors to sealing tapes, these accessories guarantee trouble-free operation and compliance with fire safety standards.
Thermal Imaging Cameras
Thermal imaging systems detect abnormal heat patterns before fires develop. These cameras provide proactive monitoring for industrial facilities, preventing equipment damage and safety hazards. Immune to electromagnetic interference, they offer real-time temperature visualization and early warning capabilities for critical infrastructure protection.
