1. Install cable into desired area. Pull the cable of the reel using a reel
stand. Ensure the cable is correctly mounted.
2. Strip the cable at both ends. Peel the foil back. A foil shield wire
should be present which allows the foil to be grounded. This should
be cut back at the end of line module end.
3. Open the End of Line (EOL) module.
4. Connect the wires as per the description on the EOL PCB. Ensure the
cores are secured in the connector. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
5. Close up the EOL module and screw the lid down.
6. At the Alarmline II Analogue controller end, using a multimeter or
ohmmeter, measure the resistance between a clear core and the
red or white cores. Measuring using one clear core should show a
resistance of 30M or greater.
Measuring using the other clear core should give a resistance
between the ranges shown below.
7. Once the cores have been identied write down the resistance
between the clear core and the white wire.
This is the Calibration Resistance.
8. Cut the white core back at the controller end and connect the
remaining cores to the Alarmline II Analogue controller.

Introduction
Alarmline II Analogue Linear Heat Detection Cable and Controller provide an
easy installation method for sensing changes in temperature.
The analogue technology oers separate Pre-Alarm and Alarm outputs in
order to maximise functionality, coupled with open and short circuit detection
and discrimination. Ambient temperature compensation maintains alarm
temperature accuracy. The technology oers alternative over heat protection
in a vast range of applications and industries, from power generation to oil and
gas industries.
Using a zone or switch monitor, the analogue linear heat detection system can
easily be interfaced to an addressable loop or can be directly connected to a
zone of any conventional re panel.
The analogue technology comprises of a four core sensing cable and a separate
interface unit. This unit monitors the resistance of temperature sensitive
polymers within the sensor cable. An abnormal change in resistance, due to
an overheat condition, along the analogue detection cable triggers either a
Pre-Alarm or Alarm on the interface unit.

Alarmline II Analogue Installation Manual
Conventional Fire Alarm Systems
Alarmline II Analogue Linear Heat Detection (LHD) cable should be connected
to the initiating device circuit on a conventional re alarm control panel. Leader
cable may be used between the interface unit and the re alarm control panel
if the area requiring protection is some distance away from the control panel.
Analogue Heat Detector
The Alarmline II Analogue Heat Detector control
module and sensor cable should be connected to
the initiating zones of a re alarm control panel and
powered from a UL listed power supply. A typical
wiring conguration is shown opposite:
Addressable Fire Alarm Systems
When used as part of an addressable system, Alarmline II Analogue LHD
cable should be connected onto the addressable loop using a switch or
zone monitor. Leader cable may be used between the interface unit and
the addressable switch or zone monitor if the area requiring protection is
some distance away.

Alarmline II Analogue Installation Manual
Leader Cable
Alarmline II Analogue Leader cable should be used between the re
alarm control panel or addressable switch/zone monitor and the
Linear Heat Detection cable. Do not use generic Leader cable as this
can interfere with the correct operation of the controller. A secure
waterproof (IP65+) junction box must be used to connect the leader
cable to the detection cable.
The maximum length of leader cable between the Alarmline II
Analogue controller and start of Alarmline II Analogue LHD
cable is 250m.
Detection Cable
A very important factor in determining which action temperature of
analogue linear heat detection (LHD) cable to use is the maximum
ambient temperature the cable will be exposed to. To provide the
fastest alarm response but lowest possibility for false alarms the lowest
action temperature above the maximum ambient temperature should
be chosen. For example, if the maximum ambient temperature is
determined to be 55°C (131°F), an action temperature of 86°C (186.8°F)
should be chosen (if the fatest possible response time is required).
Maximum Ambient Temperature Available Action Temperatures
Up to 30°C (68°F) 54°C (129.2°F) 1
Up to 47°C (113°F) 64°C (147.2°F), 71°C (159.8°F)

79°C (174.2°F)
Up to 69°C (158°F) 86°C (186.8°F) Alarm, 93°C (199.4°F)
Prealarm, 100°C (212°F) Alarm

NOTE: 54ºC alarm or prealarm setting is for use in controlled ambient areas
only. Specically when the overall sensor cable length is less than 75m (246ft)
ensure the humidity and temperature of the controller DO NOT exceed 75%
and 30ºC respectively.

Page 9 of 16 Revision 2.1 May 2019
Alarmline II Analogue Installation Manual
There are many applications which Linear Heat Detection cable is used
to provide protection for.
The linear heat detection cable should be adequately supported to
prevent sagging. Ideally cable supports should be placed every 1m (3ft)
and no more than 1.5m (5ft) apart. It may be necessary to place more
supports around corners and other transition areas.
Care should be taken when mounting the cable in clips (or equivalent)
that they are not done so tight as to crush the cable. The detection cable
should be held rmly without deformation. Avoid placing excessive
tension in the cable, no greater than 50N. Ensure also that the minimum
bend radius is observed at all times – 50mm (2").
It is of particular importance to use a silicone pad insulator between the
heat sensing cable and the xing clip if the metal clip is exposed to the
sun or attached to a piece of equipment which may get hot and transfer
the heat to the cable.
Where possible, it is preferable to install the linear heat detection cable in
one continuous run of cable with as few splices as possible.
When pulling the detection cable from a reel, a reel stand must be used.
Do not pull the cable o the reel vertically with the reel stationary as this
will twist and damage the cable. A guide wire may be required for
installations where supporting the cable at the recommended spacing is
not practical. Ensure the diameter or gauge of the guide wire is adequate
for the distance which is being spanned. Commerically available stainless
steel wire with a diameter of approximately 2mm is suitable for use as a
guide wire.
Connections into junction boxes and other enclosures must use strain
relief connectors which provide dust and moisture protection (IP65 or
greater protection). The standard diameter of detection cable is 4.5mm
(0.177") to 6.05mm (0.238") Suitable cable glands are shown below which
t an M16 standard knockout.
Installation Hardware
Alarmline II Analogue Linear Heat Detection cable is suitable for use in
ambients down to -40°C (-40°F). Such conditions occur in cold storage
freezer warehouses and outdoors for example.
When installing LHD cable in low ambients or for use in low temperature
conditions careful consideration of the conditions and environment
should be undertaken.
If possible, do not install the LHD cable when the ambient temperature
is below -10°C (-14°F). The materials within the cable will become less
exible and are more prone to damage. If the ambient temperature is
likely to drop signicantly after installing the cable take into account
linear shrinkage of the cable when attaching support brackets. The cable
can shrink in length by 12% at -40°C (-40°F).
A silicone pad insulator should be placed around the cable before
clipping into the support bracket. This prevents damage to the cable
and reduces the heat sink eect of the clip.
The minimum bend radius of the detection cable should be increased
to 100mm (4") to account for the reduced exibility. The maximum
distance between support brackets should be no more than 1m (3ft)
and it is important to support the cable close to either side of any bend.
Ensure any junction boxes other enclosures are waterproof and suitable
for the expected operating temperatures.
Low Temperature Installation Considerations

into an enclosure

Page 10 of 16 Revision 2.1 May 2019
Alarmline II Analogue Installation Manual
If the analogue Linear Heat Detection cable gets damaged or has
exceeded the maximum restorable temperature of 125˚C (257˚F), the
section can be removed and a new section spliced in its place.
Care should be taken during splicing to ensure the core conductors do
not come into contact with each other at any point and the nal spliced
joint is secure and made waterproof. A junction box must be used to
connect the newly installed sensor cable to the existing sensor cable.
When replacing a section of the detection cable
for any reason, the section including at least 3m
(10ft) either side of the damaged area should
be replaced.
Splicing
Routine maintenance and checking should be carried out to ensure the
Linear Heat Detection cable will function as expected and has not been
damaged etc.
A visual inspection should be performed to ensure all support brackets
and other aspects of the physical installation are suitable. The cable
should also be visual checked for damage to the outer or inner insulation.
Check to make sure the silicone pads are correctly installed around the
cable in the clips.
Any joints which have been made should be checked to make sure they
are secure and any junction boxes should be checked to ensure they are
correctly installed.
Electrical tests should be carried out to determine the circuit created by
the conductors is working. Remove the conductors from the interface
unit and place a shorting wire between the two clear cores in the EOL
unit leaving the other cores connected as normal in the EOL of unit. The
resistance at the end just disconnected from the interface unit between
the respective conductors should be as follows:
Measuring Points Approx Ohms/m
Red <> Clear 3.5
Clear <> Clear 0.2
White <> Clear 16.9
To test in circuit with a re alarm contol panel or addressable switch
montior reattach the LHD cable to the interface unit. Disconnecting the
red core or either clear core from the endoine device should put the
system into fault. Placing a 1MΩ resistor across the two clear cores from
the EOL unit should put the system into alarm.
Functional testing
Analogue Linear Heat Detection Cable is restorable up to 125˚C (257˚F)
and therefore can be functionally tested to ensure it is working correctly.
For functional testing the system should be set to the lowest action
temperature given the ambient conditions at the time of testing. Using
a suitable device heat between 0.5% and 2% of detection cable up to a
maximum of 125˚C (257˚F). Once the action temperature (including any
tolerances) has been reached the system should alarm. Dipping
the section of detection cable in recently boiled water is one method for
testing the cable but ensuring that the maximum temperature is
not exceeded.
Ensure the action temperature is reset to the required value before
placing the system back into normal operation.

The control module allows for on-site adjustment of response sensitivity
to allow the sensor cable to be suited to the local environmental
conditions. This MUST be done to commission the system and should
therefore be performed immediately after system installation.
The control module will output a fault signal until programming
has been completed.
For installations in hazardous areas please refer to the Alarmline
II Analogue Hazardous Area Installation Instructions to correctly
commission the Alarmline II Analogue controller.
If no self-programming module is installed (see page 11) the Alarmline II Analogue Heat Detector control module must be programmed using a laptop
computer. To commission the control module rst ensure the minimum connections have been connected to the unit (see Control Module Wiring page 11).
Follow the steps below to commission Alarmline II Analogue Heat Detector:
1. Install and run the commissioning software before connecting the
control module to the laptop. The software is supplied on a CD
or USB key with the Alarmline II Analogue Heat Detector control
module. Alternatively the software can be downloaded by going to
http://dl.thermocable.com/ProReact
2. Power up the Alarmline II Analogue Heat Detector control module.
3. Go to File->Connect or click the green connect icon.
4. At this point, connect the control module to the laptop via the USB
cable and turn the control module on.
5. After powering up the control module, click the “Get Port List” button.
6. The selected COM port should be the controller. Click the “Connect
button” then click “Ok”.
7. Enter the calibration resistance (see Quick Installation Instructions
for wiring).
8. Check the Calculated zone length matches the installed sensor
cable length.
9. Select alarm/pre-alarm temperature(s).
10. Select pre-alarm enabled with the checkbox.
11. Click “Update Settings” to upload settings – the status bar at the
bottom of the screen shows the current status of the Alarmline II
Analogue Heat Detector controller.
Programmable Control Module
Hazardous Area Setup
Control Module Setup (laptop)
12. Click “Get Current Settings” to download the settings from the
control module to the laptop. This is useful to check which settings
are currently loading on a particular module.
13. To save these settings go to File -> Save Conguration. This will save
a le with the necessary settings (calibration resistance etc) to re-
commission the module.
14. Click “Erase Settings” to wipe the settings on the control module.
Warning: Do not leave the control module operating after erasing
the settings. NO ALARM OR PREALARM WILL TRIGGER. The control
module will trigger the fault output and light the fault indicator.
15. Click the “Update” button in the diagnostics frame to display
diagnostic information from the control module. This should only be
carried out by trained service personnel.
16. If the ambient temperature in the vicinity of the sensor cable is
greater than 0 deg C then it is important to ensure that the “PTC
Temp” eld in the diagnostics frame closely matches the ambient
temperature around the cable (within ± 2.5°C / ± 4.5°F). If the “PTC
Temp” value is outside this tolerance re-measure the calibration
resistance and return to step 7. If the calibration resistance is the
same as previous, add or subtract 0.017 kohms to the value and
repeat from step 7.

8. When the display instructs you to connect the Alarmline II Analogue
Heat Detector controller connect the USB cable between the self-
programming module and the BASE control module. Then press SET.
9. The self-programming module will download the settings to the
control module and display “Settings transferred ok” when done.
Press SET to continue.
Control Module Setup (Self-Programming Module)
10. The self-programming will always automatically show diagnostic
information once the control module has been commissioned. This
is useful for trained service personnel when diagnosing a problem or
conrmed the commissioning has been performed correctly.
11. If the ambient temperature in the vicinity of the sensor cable
is greater than 0 deg C then it is important to ensure that the
temperature in the bottom left of the LCD during diagnostics
closely matches the ambient temperature around the cable (within
± 2.5°C / ± 4.5°F). If the value is outside this tolerance re-measure
the calibration resistance and return to step 2. If the calibration
resistance is the same as previous, add or subtract 0.017 kohms to
the value and repeat from step 2.
12. In normal operation the USB cable should be removed. The display
will then read “ProReact Normal Operation”.

Page 15 of 16 Revision 2.1 May 2019
Alarmline II Analogue Installation Manual
Alarmline II Analogue Heat Detector is designed such that when a
section, equal to 3% in length of the overall sensor cable length, reaches
a user-dened action temperature an alarm is triggered.
For example, for a 30m/100ft cable if a 64°C/147°F action temperature
is chosen an alarm will be activated when 0.91m/3ft of the sensor cable
reaches 64°C/174°F.
For a greater proportion of sensor cable subject to an abnormal temperature
the activation temperature will be lower.
For a smaller proportion of sensor cable subject to an abnormal temperature
the activation temperature will be greater.
Table 1 lists the activation temperatures when a 1%, 2%, 3% or 5% length
of the sensor cable is subject to an overheat condition.
The Alarmline II Analogue Heat Detector control module continuously
monitors the sensor cable for changes in resistance. During installation a
response sensitivity was selected which programmed the control module
to look for a specic threshold resistance.
If an overheat or re condition arises along the cable length which
matches the pre-selected temperatures an ALARM or PREALARM signal
will be initiated by the control module. The corresponding indicator light
will be lit and relay activated. Once the alarm condition has been cleared
the unit can be reset remotely using the remote reset connections (see
PCB drawing) or will reset automatically once the temperature drops
below the alarm temperature.
The available Pre-Alarm temperature range is calculated once the alarm
temperature has been selected either on the self-programming module
or in the laptop software. In both cases the Pre-Alarm must be enabled
to select a pre-alarm temperature. Table 2 shows the available prealarm
temperatures for a given alarm temperature.
