multiple locations.

Description
The Protectowire FiberSystem 8000 has been designed for use as a
linear heat detection system using state-of-the-art fiber optic sensing
technology. The system consists of Type PFS Fiber Optic Sensor
Cable and the PTS Controllers with related software. The PTS
Series Controllers can be configured for various alarm criteria and
can be connected to an approved fire alarm control panel using
relay inputs and outputs. The system is specifically designed for
high risk commercial and industrial hazards that demand high reliability and customized system features.
Protectowire's distributed temperature measurement is based on
the proven Raman-Optical Time-Domain-Reflectometry (OTDR)
technique. An optical laser pulse propagating through the sensor
fiber gets scattered light back to the transmitting end, where it is
analyzed using a patented code sequence measurement concept.
The backscattered light is spread across a range of wavelengths.
Some of these wavelengths are affected by temperature changes
while others are immune. The intensity of the Raman signals is a
measure of the temperature along the fiber. By very accurately measuring the difference in the signal intensity of the backscattered
light an accurate temperature measurement can be made.
