Delivering a New Standard in Fire Detection – A New Standard In Fire Safety: Programmable Alarm Temperatures and Rate of Rise Detection

When fire systems false alarm, it degrades trust in the system and the industry… So we designed a Linear Heat Detector to automatically adjust to ambient conditions, with 8 programmable alarm temperatures.

The ProReact Programmable Temperature Sensing product is the first cable-based resettable linear heat detector approved to EN54-22. It’s also the only type of cable-based linear heat detector that can automatically adjust for changes in ambient temperatures.  As the perfect solution for dirty, dusty, damp and challenging environments, Thermocable’s high-quality Programmable Temperature Sensing system meets the strict requirements of EN54-22:2015+A1:2020 as certified by VdS Global. It has been approved to Class A1I, A2I and BI, and as a result it can be 
used in wide range of environments.  Download Our Brochure
