General Instructions for Cable Installation (Continued)
4. Adjust slack to avoid droops in cable. Allow appropriate

slack through areas that are intended to move under normal

vehicle operation.

5. when cables pass through a partition, it is recommended

to use a bulkhead connector designed for the appropriate

cables. Note: Cables must never be routed through

a hole or near sharp edges without being properly

protected. See Figure 5-14.

LINEAR DETECTOR INSTALLATION
Install Linear Detector throughout the hazard area by connect-

ing directly to the main detection trunk. Note: Linear Detector

should not be supported by hydraulic hoses.

NOTICE

The minimum bend radius for Linear

Detector must not be less than 2 1/2 in.

(64 mm) (see Figure 5-16, page 5-7). Adjust

slack to avoid droops in cable. Allow appropri-

ate slack through areas that are intended to

move under normal vehicle operation.

• Do not try to stretch Linear Detector in any

way.

• Do not attach Linear Detector to commonly

removed or replaced equipment.

Note: Linear Detector must connect to main Detection Circuit

trunk, not the branch of a Detection Circuit Tee.

Keep the following in mind when installing a Linear Detector:

• Make certain Linear Detector routing allows direct exposure

to heat resulting from a fire

• Choose routing locations where heat is likely to travel to or

through quickly in event of a fire

• Maximum installed ambient temperature at the Linear Detec

tor location is 250 °F (121 °C).

• Support Linear Detector from mounting surfaces such as

decks, struts, framework, vehicle component support, or

support structures, etc., always keeping system planning

guidelines and vehicle maintenance procedures in mind.

Note: when supporting from the vehicle make certain any

support device requiring drilling or welding is approved by

owner or vehicle manufacturer.

• Avoid securing Linear Detector too close to extremely hot

components

• Route the Linear Detector where it will not be subject to

damage and not interfere with vehicle maintenance proce-

dures.

• Keep Linear Detector as far away as possible from vehicle

electric cables, particularly power cables to and from genera-

tors and electric motors.

1. Make sure detection circuit cable is completely installed

from CHECKFIRE 110 Control Module to hazard area end

point. Start installation of Linear Detector at end point of

detection circuit cable.

2. Install Linear Detector above hazard area or around perim-

eter of a hazard compartment so it can react to escaping

heat. Refer to layout drawing. Do not allow struts, frame

members, or other obstacles to act as heat shields between

hazard and detector cable.

3. Do NOT install Linear Detector within 12 in. (305 mm) of

any area that will become extremely hot during operation,

such as:

• Engine blocks

• Exhaust manifolds

• Exhaust tubes/Mufflers

• Turbochargers

4. Secure Linear Detector every 12 in. to 18 in. (305 mm to

454 mm) using appropriately sized (5/16 in. (8 mm)) rubber-

lined P-Clamps. where it is not possible to use rubber

lined P-Clamps, a double-loop cable tie (Part No. 440737)

and protective covering (Part No. 56692) is acceptable

to provide separation between cable and securing point.

Secure more often if necessary

Slice rubber tube length wise to fit around the Linear Detec-

tor. This protective covering should also be used at loca-

tions where cable would rub against other hard surfaces,

rough edges, or sharp corners. See Figure 5-15.
