Why linear heat detectors?
The FibroLaser linear heat detection system is designed for challenging environments like tunnels, parking garages and cable trays to provide rapid fire detection and precise localization, protecting lives and assets.
Fires in complex environments demand quick, accurate detection and localization, often complicated by strong winds or electromagnetic interference. The FibroLaser linear heat detection system solves this using glass fiber cables as precise temperature sensors. It measures both convection and radiation heat, providing reliable detection even in harsh conditions.
The FibroLaser linear heat detection system offers:
- Robust sensor technology that can successfully operate in damp or corroded environments, as well as with electromagnetic interference.
- Quick detection within one second, enabling rapid activation of safety systems.
- Reduced operational expenses with minimized life cycle costs and maintenance-free sensor technology.
Key benefits
System solution – for systematic protection
As a comprehensive solution, FibroLaser includes leading sensor and signal technology from deception-free fire detection and localization to automatic control of an extinguishing system.
Comprehensive – all you need for fire protection
Siemens offers complete solutions from a single source for applications in special environments (e.g. tunnels). This guarantees a smooth interaction and functioning of all systems.
Cost effectiveness – over the entire life cycle
FibroLaser is designed for many years of reliable operation with minimized life cycle costs. Qualified experts use VdS-tested software for planning, and the installed sensor technology is 100% maintenance-free.
Experience – worldwide unique
With more than 10 years experience, Siemens is the pioneer in heat detection with line-type heat detectors. Siemens also has the largest installed base on the market more than 2,000 km in length and more than 1,200 controllers.
Featured capabilities
Reliability over the entire distance of up to 20 km
As a line type heat detection system, FibroLaser offers consistent safety over the entire installation – with a detection area of up to two times 10 km in length. It meets the latest standards for line type heat detection. Wide range of applications through certification of the VdS according to Pr EN 54-22, FM accreditation and local codes of practice.
Reliable heat detection thanks to robust sensor technol
FibroLaser provides highly reliable heat detection even under harsh conditions such as dampness, corrosion or dirt by means of robust sensors. The precision is also undiminished in the case of electromagnetic interference, e.g. in cable trays or railway tunnels.
Quick detection and precise localization
FibroLaser is sensitive to convection and radiant heat. They are precisely analyzed within one second up to 0.5 meters. The system is highly immune to deceptive phenomena and able to locate actual fires extremely quickly and accurately. It is also capable of eliminating false alarms.
Reliable alarming and efficient reaction
For fast and reliable alarming and evacuation, pre-alarms can be defined to warn the control center. Tto intervene efficiently, FibroLaser provides the fire department with important information such as the exact location of the fire, its extent, and the direction of propagation. Fire alarm and control commands are transmitted via standard interface.
