Join FSM and Thermocable on 5 June 2024 at 10:30am as we consider the most efficient and effective ways to detect the threat of fire in challenging environments.
With the ever-growing popularity of e-vehicles – coupled with the dirty, dusty and damp environments of car parks – fires in this sector are becoming more common, and are often detected too late.
With common forms of fire detection subject to failure in environments that are exposed to adverse weather, debris or overheating, increased coverage, high sensitivity and reliability are all fundamental features of any fire detection system in this application. Linear heat detection not only meets the BS5839 regulatory compliance and standards, it is designed to provide the earliest form of detection, prevent false alarms, and is entirely unaffected by airflow, dangerous chemicals or toxins. – CLICK HERE TO REGISTER
