16
Q

If more than one thermal switch is used, how are they connected and why?

A

In parallel so closing one switch provides warning

17
Q

Describe a Thermocouple sensor

A

Rate of Rise

Two dissimilar metals

18
Q

How does the THERMOCOUPLE sensor work?

A

Current produced if temp rise rapidly, sensitive relay, slave relay

Describe the Fenwall system

A

Inconel tube
Eutectic Salt
Nickel conductor

21
Q

This sensor contains an inconel tube, and thermistor material and two electrical conductors and can have a DUAL loop system

A

Kidde system

22
Q

How does the Kidde system work?

A

Change in resistance

23
