Overheat Detection and Protection For Tunnels   SPECIAL REPORT: FTLD Detects Tunnel Fire at 14.5°C (58.1°F)! Click Here to See the Report   A fire in a tunnel can have devastating consequences. Difficult to access to control the fire, and even more difficult to escape during a fire, tunnels require the earliest possible warning of any incident. FTLD provides the earliest possible warning by continuously monitoring tunnel temperatures. The slightest increase can be detected and alarms can be set only a few degrees above normal ambient. Alarm set-points can also be easily changed to accommodate ambient temperature changes such as summer to winter.         FTLD For Tunnels Easily linked to existing fire safety systems or control rooms. Rate-of-change and maximum temperature alarms with the same sensor. Alarms can be set to just a few degrees above normal ambient. False-alarm free. Maximum temperature profile of every zone in tunnel. No power required to the sensor. Available in lengths up to 2000 feet.      Back to Applications Next Application      © Copyright 1999-2007 Xco International Incorporated. All rights reserved.
