Description

LWM1 - Linear Heat Detection System - Alarmline Control Unit - KIDDE

The Alarmline LWM-1 Linear Heat Detection System allows early detection of fire or overheating. It is especially suited for confined areas or harsh environments where adverse ambient conditions cause other detection devices to be unreliable or difficult to use.
The system consists of two components: the sensor cable and the Alarmline control unit LWM-1.

The control unit reports temperature differences by the permanent supervision of the resistance of the sensor cable. The response threshold Max-alarm can be adjusted with a 16-step dip-switch. The Maxalarm is triggered if the static alarm temperature of the sensor cable is reached or exceeded. Two 16 step dip-switches are available for the adjustment of the differential alarm: Diff-time and Diff-alarm. Difftime changes the integration time of the ambient temperature; the shorter the time interval, the lesser sensitive the system responses.
Diff-alarm changes the temperature range, which delivers a constant temperature/measurement-correlation.
The higher the Diff-alarm value is chosen, the higher the possible alarm temperature. Individual LED’s for “Power“, “Max-alarm“, “Diff-alarm“ and “Fault“ indicate the actual status of the system.
Two test buttons within the control unit allow for an electrical check of the system for alarm and fault. All alarm and fault messages are latched in the control unit. A reset can be generated either by an interruption of the power supply or an activation of the External-reset input. The electronic PCB of the control unit is housed in a plastic housing (ABS: Protection class IP 65). Connections to supervising fire panels can be made via potential-free relay contacts (2 A, 30 V) for alarms and fault.
