Alarmline II Analogue Installation Manual
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.

Important Guidelines
Please read this instruction leaet thoroughly before commencing installation.
Install the linear heat detection cable accordingly to meet local and country installation requirements.
Alarmline II Analogue linear heat detection cable must be installed in accordance with NFPA 70 & 72,
NEC 760 (National Electric Code) and Authorities Having Jurisdiction.
Support the detection cable at 1m (3ft) to 1.5m (5ft) intervals.
Test the detection cable before installation using a multimeter.
Ensure the maximum ambient temperature rating of the detection cable will not
be exceeded during storage or normal operating conditions (-40°C to +90°C).
Ensure the detection cable is spaced at less than or equal to the maximum
approved spacing.
Ensure the detection cable is not in contact with any material which may conduct
heat onto the cable directly. A neoprene insulator or equivalent should be placed
between the xing clip and heat sensing cable.
Ensure any cable glands used are tightened to form a secure and moisture proof
seal around the detection cable.
Avoid allowing the detection cable to come in contact with any material which
acts as a heat sink. This may delay the activation of the cable in alarm situations.
Do not connect lengths of Alarmline II Analogue Linear Heat Detection cable in ‘T’
connections or spurs.
Do not paint the detection cable.
Do not place the detection cable under excessive tension.
Do not bend the detection cable at right angles. The minimum bend radius is 2"
or 50mm.
Avoid subjecting the detection cable to mechanical damage which could result in
false activation.
Avoid laying the detection cable in areas where heavy trac may result in the
cable being crushed.

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.
