The Model SRP-4x4 is a UL listed and FM approved, Fire Alarm/Releasing Control Panel. Although it is primarily designed for use as a releasing panel for Pre-action and Deluge water-based extinguishing systems, it may also be used as a stand alone Fire Alarm Control Panel and is ideally suited for many commercial and light industrial applications.

 Protectowire Linear Heat Detector

Protectowire Linear Heat Detector is a proprietary cable that detects heat anywhere along its length. The sensor cable is comprised of two steel conductors individually insulated with a heat sensitive polymer. The insulated conductors are twisted together to impose a spring pressure between them, then wrapped with a protective tape and finished with an outer jacket suitable for the environment in which the Detector will be installed.

 Fiber Optic Linear Heat Detection for Special Hazard Applications
