Fire Suppression

Heat Detection Cable Protectowire 356oF / 180oC Priced by the Meter Protectowire is an electrical circuit containing heat-sensitive materials. When the outer covering melts, the wires will make contact and complete the circuit, activating the fire system. This can be a critical extra safety feature especially if the driver becomes incapacitated in an accident. MOUNTING: Mount along the ceiling of the cabin using an "S-pattern". Some additional wiring may be required between the Protectowire and your system's electrical trigger. Use care to not crimp or crease the outer sheath and create a weak spot. Keep away from heat sources including the engine compartment, transmission, differential, exhaust, direct sunlight, or hot surfaces. Keep away from any sharp edges that could cut or cause an abrasion on the sheathing. An inline plug can be used to disconnect the sensor cable during storage, transport, etc. The cable we sell is set to trigger at 356 F (180 C).Currently, Protectowire is only compatible with Lifeline electric systems.
