Webinar focuses on advantages of fiber optic linear heat detection
22 August 2023
FIBER OPTIC sensing technology specialist Bandweaver Technologies is joining forces with Fire Safety Matters to deliver expert knowledge in an upcoming webinar entitled ‘The Future is Fiber: Understanding the Key Advantages of Fiber Optic Linear Heat Detection’.

Running from 10.30 am-11.30 am on 20 September and featuring a presentation by Bandweaver’s managing director Richard Kluth, this Continuing Professional Development-certified live broadcast will look at how fiber optic-based distributed temperature sensing systems offer the highest levels of protection with early detection, ensuring that operators are informed about any incidents as quickly as possible and thereby minimise the degree of danger for people, property and assets.
There will be detailed discussion on how the latest generation of linear heat detection solutions compare with conventional systems, including digital and analogue cable-based products, multipoint detection and also beam and aspirating smoke detectors.
During the presentation, Kluth will focus on the advantages of exceptional location accuracy, low maintenance solutions and the cost savings that fiber-based systems can realise.
Webinar viewers will discover how fiber optic solutions can:
*enable swift decision-making
*help to minimise damage
*avoid catastrophic failure
*reduce financial, environmental and reputational risks
Exciting opportunities
Kluth will draw on 20 years’ experience of applying monitoring and instrumentation technologies in a wide variety of industries.
Commenting on the upcoming webinar, Kluth informed Fire Safety Matters: “This will be a great opportunity to educate potential users on the exciting opportunities offered by linear heat detection. We’re looking forward to sharing the benefits and speaking about our own experiences based on previous projects. We understand how harnessing this technology can greatly improve the safety of users and the public, and we’re keen to tell everyone about it.”

FireLaser is Bandweaver’s fiber optic-based linear heat detector system and specifically designed for use in ‘special hazard’ fire detection applications. FireLaser determines temperature and distance data at thousands of points along the length of the cable, alerting the user of any changes in temperature and allowing sufficient time for action to be taken.
FireLaser boasts “unrivalled precision” and has the ability to detect the location of one (or multiple) ‘hot spots’ on a 10 km length of fiber optic cable, monitor movement of any ‘hot spots’ and identify the exact temperature in real-time.
