Protectowire Accessories
System Sensor offers an assortment of approved Protectowire
fasteners and splicing devices to facilitate installation for both
standard and special applications. Protectowire approved
fasteners are generally designed to lightly clamp the detector
which enables a tension to be applied progressively. This
method is better than arrangements which apply a high tensile
load at the end of each run or clamp and compress the sensor
cable so tightly that the inner insulation becomes damaged. To
ensure a trouble-free installation,
only Protectowire approved
fasteners should be used. The use of non-approved fasteners
may physically damage the detector thereby causing “false
alarms” and in some cases void the detector’s warranty.
