HSSD Market Aspirating HSSD has become widely accepted as a reliable smoke detection method HSSD is now standard practice in Electronic Data Processing (EDP) environments, telecommunications suites and computer rooms HSSD has become a viable alternative to other forms of detection in areas previously not considered such as warehouses, cold stores, production areas, shopping malls and heritage buildings HSSD is often used when other forms of detection prove ineffective or difficult to maintain

HSSD Market Design engineers are identifying more areas where aspirating HSSD will provide the best solution to an assessed risk On all new projects & retrofits there is scope to include HSSD & provide the end user with an improved detection solution HSSD can often be installed at comparable or at lower cost than other forms of detection

Why Hart Aspirating Smoke Detection? Earliest detection to enable business continuity Extra time is required for safe evacuation Unnecessary suppression release must be avoided Smoke is difficult to detect Environmentally challenging areas Aesthetics & concealed detection are important Maintenance access is limited

Earliest Detection to Enable Business Continuity Critical processes that cannot incur any business disruption Telecommunications facilities Computer rooms Banking operations Production facilities Internet Service Providers

Extra Time is Required for Controlled Evacuation Environments where rapid exit can be impeded Underground Stations Theatres Public buildings Airports

Smoke is Difficult to Detect Environments with high ceilings, high air flows or vast open areas provide unique characteristics Clean rooms Warehouses Aircraft hangars Computer rooms Atria

Unnecessary Suppression Release can be Avoided Early warning gives time to investigate to avoid unnecessary suppression release Telecommunication facilities EDP facilities Computer rooms Electrical sub-stations

Environmentally Challenging Areas Aggressive environments with high levels of pollution or extreme temperature conditions can be protected reliably with acceptable maintenance levels Cold Stores Production areas Paper mills Underground tunnels Mines

Aesthetics are Important & Replacement Impossible Interiors that must not be spoilt by unsightly conventional detectors - Hart XL can be installed unobtrusively Cathedrals Stately Homes Museums Art Galleries

Maintenance Access is Limited Hart XL can be located at an accessible location while the sampling pipework makes its way to the restricted area Warehouses Production machinery Prisons Restricted areas EMC Controlled areas Hospitals

Linear Heat Detection

What is Linear Heat Detection? Continuous heat detector in the form of a cable - Alarmline Analogue: averaging heat detector - Alarmline Digital: fixed temperature heat detector

Analogue LHD Cable Definition: - Multi-conductor cable containing insulators whose resistance varies proportionately to changes in temperature - Re-settable, provided temperature does not exceed burn-off point of PVC coating - Alarm level adjusted via controller

Alarmline Analogue LHD Cables High resistance - standard applications Nylon extruded - chemical resistance Bronze braided - increased mechanical protection over standard blue Stainless Steel braided over nylon extrusion - offshore applications

LHD 4 Controller

LHD 4 Controller Features - Alarm level adjusted via moveable link - Open circuit and closed circuit fault monitoring - Fire and fault output to conventional fire alarm panels - Volt-free relay option for analogue addressable fire alarm panels - Eurocard 19” rack option

Digital LHD Cable Definition: - A cable which contains an insulator which melts at a specific temperature - Switch output provided when the alarm temperature is reached - Not re-settable

Alarmline Digital LHD Cables Polythene braid 70º C Nylon over sheath 70º C Polythene braid 90º C Nylon over sheath 90º C PVC 113º C PVC 180º C Fluoropolymer 238º C
