For EN54 part 22 and part 28 installations to be installed correctly the Linear Heat Detection should be off set from the ceiling by 20mm.
The brand new Q Clip ensures this 20mm gap by its unique design. Utilising an elongated foot with a precise bend, the clip is secured with the 20mm off set.
This single piece clip removes the need for cable ties, reducing waste and significantly decreasing installation time on site.
The Q Clip uses a stainless steel 316L body with a EPDM liner. This provides excellent chemical and atmospheric resistance while ensuring that the cable is correctly cushioned witin the liner.
The clip is then secured to the ceiling through the M6 hole using a fixing bolt or screw.
The Q Clip is desinged specifically to be used with our range of Signaline FT-EN Linear Heat Detectors, but is also compatible with all our FT and FT-R cable ranges.
The Q Clip is the simple solution to reduce time, reduce waste and keep your installation compliant!

Signaline is delighted to annouce that the stainless steel range of Signaline FT-EN cables have been added to the EN54 approval.
The FT-EN range is the market leading Linear Heat Detection system approved to EN54 part 28. With three alarm temperatures, alarm locator and end of line termination box with test switches, the FT-EN has been the go to solution for applications such as car parks, solar panels, and warehousing since its launch in 2020.
A key features of Signaline FT-EN is the approval for enviornmental group III (outdoor environments) meaning the heat detection cable has been tested and approved to be used in harsh outdoor conditions.
However, Signaline Linear Heat Detection is also ideal for overheat detection within machinery such as conveyors or escalators.
In these environments the cable could be subject to mechanical damage. Siganline offers further mechanical protection on its cables by offering an additional stainless steel braid.
The steel braid is extremely durable and have a very high impact resistance, ensuring the Linear Heat Detection is protected and remains operable throughout its working life.
By adding the stainless steel vareties to the EN54 approval we ensure to our customers not only the durability of the product but also the alarm sensitivity.
The cables work by continuously monitoring the cable for any changes in temperature. When the alarm temperature is reached, it triggers an alarm condition. The LocatorPlus-EN controller then receives the signal and activates the appropriate response, ensuring early detection and swift response to fire incidents.
Signaline FT-EN with stainless steel is available in choice of 68, 78 or 88°C alarm temperature.

If you need a linear heat detection solution which is approved to EN54, then Signaline HD is more than just a great option.
In fact, it is the only option currently on the market that is approved for both addressable and conventional fire systems.
Signaline HD is an analogue resettable linear heat detector that monitors significant increases in temperature.
An electronic controller connected to the Signaline HD cable monitors changes in temperature by continually measuring the electrical resistance between the cable’s metallic core and its outer braiding. If a sufficiently high change in temperature is detected, then the controller triggers an alarm.
Our Signaline HD and SKM Controller range is approved by VdS to EN54 part 5 which means any fire system with Signaline HD installed will meet the same standards as a traditional ‘spot’ type heat detector.
This means a Signaline HD linear heat detection system can replace any traditional spot detector system and can be installed in exactly the same way.
Moreover, Signaline HD cable acts as a detector anywhere along its length which means better fire detection coverage.
Linear heat detection cable is also less susceptible to environmental conditions than spot type detectors making it perfect for farm buildings, car parks and a variety of other applications.
For particularly harsh or chemical environments, our Signaline HD-R cable is nylon coated and – rest assured – approved to EN54 as well.
