example would be in protection of electric
motors or conveyor rollers which contain
bearings that are subject to overheat and
seizure. In this type of application, the advan-
tage of Protectowire is that it may be installed
in direct contact with the critical part, which
ensures quick response.
Spacing
All Protectowire Linear Heat Detector models
have been tested and assigned a listed spacing
by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) and/or
Factory Mutual Research Corporation (FM).
Spacing is a horizontally measured dimension
related to the maximum allowable detector
coverage, and is determined by actual fire
tests which are conducted in accordance with
established approval agency test standards.
It is important to recognize that for open area
protection, the listed spacing represents the
maximum allowable distance between detector
runs, and should be used as the starting point
for detector layout design. Reduced spacing
may be required based upon factors such as
ceiling height and construction, physical
obstructions, air movement, or the authority
having jurisdiction. When Protectowire is used
for sprinkler system activation, special Factory
Mutual (FM) reduced spacing guidelines may
also be applicable. It is mandatory that engi-
neering judgment be applied in determining
final detector location and spacing.
Smooth Ceiling Spacing
On smooth ceilings, the distance between
parallel detector runs shall not exceed the
maximum listed spacing. There shall be a
detector run within a distance of one-half the
listed spacing measured at a right angle, from
all walls, or partitions that extend to within
the top 15% of the ceiling height, as shown in
the illustration.
