Tri-Metallic Core:• Steel provides tensile strength• Copper increase conductivity• Tin for corrosion resistanceLHDLINEAR HEAT D ETECTIONNTECHNICAL DATATemperature Rating: 155°F (68°C) (typical temperature)172°F (78°C)190°F (88°C)220°F (105°C)Available Jacket Material: PVC, Nylon, PolypropyleneRF Tested: Up to 10,000 linear ft.Advanced Polymer ThermalReaction SheathingNo Protective Tape RequiredChemical and UV ResistantPolymer Outer coveringWire O.D. 1/8" (3mm)Resistance: .05 ohms/ft resistance per twisted pairThe Linear Heat Detection (LHD) cable is acombination of advanced polymer and digitaltechnologies which can be used on any panel,and can detect heat anywhere along itsentire length.At the core of the LHD cable is a twisted pairof extremely low resistance, tri-metallicconductors sheathed in new advanced thermalpolymers. These polymers are chemicallyengineered to break down at specific fixedtemperatures allowing the twisted conductorsto make contact and initiate an alarm. Thepolymer used for the protective outer coatingof LHD cable is chemical resistant and UVprotected. This allows the LHD cable to beused in a wide variety of installations andspecial hazard applications.◆ Ideal for Double Interlock Preaction Detection◆ Install up to 10,000 Linear Feet per Zone◆ Compatible with Any Conventional ReleasingPanel Listed for Fire◆ Can Detect Heat Anywhere Along the EntireLength of Cable◆ Multiple Alarm Temperatures can beIncorporated in the Same Zone◆ Lower Material & Installation CostContact a TFBP distributor for a complete description of all Listing & Approval criteria, designparameters, installation instructions, care and maintenance guidelines, and our limited warranty.2Please consult installation guidelines prior to any installation.

LHDINSTALLATION APPLICATIONSIN-RACKUsed in any tall rack storage situation:warehousing , archive storage, cooling andfreezer storage to quickly identify the locationof the fire and conveying the information backto the fire alarm panel.BRANCHLINEInstalling LHD cable along the sprinklerpipe branchline allows a pre-action sprinklersystem to be more efficient by quicklyrecognizing the fire and conveyingthe information back to thefire alarm system.Typical BranchlineLHD CableMOTORS, GENERATORS, PUMPS, VALVESLHD cable is installednear the hazard. Be sureto consider ambient andoperating temperature ofthe equipment whenselecting the alarmtemperature.4Please consult installation guidelines prior to any installation.

CABLE TRAYA sine wave pattern, as shown in the diagramsshould be used when installing LHD Cable in a cabletray application. The maximum distance betweeneach peak or valley should not exceed 6 feet.The detection wire is secured in place atthe sides of the cable tray using themost appropriate mounting clipbased on the trayconstruction.CONVEYORFor conveyor belt detection the LHD Cablewith a nylon outer jacket and GuideWire arerecommended. The durable nylon outer coveringwill help prevent damage to the detection wirewhile the GuideWire helps maintain systemintegrity and eases installation.TurnbuckleGuideWireRoof Slab20’ maximum between wire supportsPeak18” maximumLHD Cableand load heightConveyorHoodELR-Boxor J-BoxLHD Cable supported by guide wireTurnbuckle6 ft. maximumAppropriate MountingHardware for CableTray DesignHood over conveyorcollects heat toconveyor decreaseresponse timeProtection frommaterial fireOptional protectionfor overheatingbearings and rollers18” maximumLHD Cableand load heightLHD Cable runwhen grated floorunder conveyorReturn BeltLHD Cable runwhen solid floorunder conveyorSolid or Grated FloorPlease consult installation guidelines prior to any installation.5
