Monitoring Cable Trays is problematic because, by their very nature, cable trays cover long distances and are usually in out-of-the-way locations. Despite their low profile, cable trays are almost always vital to the operation of a much larger production or communication facility. A minor cable breakdown can cause serious disruption and significant losses to systems dependant upon the communications carried in those cables.

The best, most economical way to avoid serious problems from overheat conditions or damaging fires in cable trays and electronic facilities is a temperature monitoring system using the Xco Continuous Thermocouple, FTLD^™.

FTLD^™ provides complete coverage over large areas or long runs with a minimum number of sensor points.

FTLD^™ provides real-time temperature information from -40°C to 177°C so operators can utilize a full range of pre-alarms, alarms and Rate of Change alarms.

This real-time temperature information includes the "DEAD BAND" temperature range. The "DEAD BAND" range between -40°C and 65°C is where Digital Linear Heat Detectors are "DEAD" and incapable of responding. However, by monitoring in the "DEAD BAND" range, FTLD can alert operators to a developing overheat condition in time for them to correct the situation thus preventing a more serious open fire.
