Even where conventional smoke detectors fail, fires can still be detected in time – thanks to LISTEC technology. The linear heat detection system monitors temperature along the entire protected section and reacts immediately to any change.
This modern linear heat fire detection cable within EPS systems can identify risks much earlier than flames or visible smoke appear. LISTEC is based on years of development and real-world use in industry, energy, and infrastructure, reliably protecting critical spaces where every second and every degree matters.
How LISTEC Works – Principle of Linear Heat Detection
LISTEC uses sensor cables – linear heat detectors that continuously measure temperature in real time. Unlike point detectors, they monitor the entire cable length, creating a continuous zone of protection.
The system can detect overheating or fire at any point along the cable – without separate sensors. Continuous temperature measurement allows the system to precisely determine the location where a threshold value is exceeded, enabling immediate activation of fire response measures.
LIST and d-LIST systems form a complete portfolio of LISTEC linear heat detection solutions.
LIST is designed for large-scale installations – such as conveyor systems, cable routes, or large parking structures.
d-LIST is suitable for smaller or more complex environments – underground garages, technological rooms, production halls, or cold storage facilities.
Both solutions offer precise detection, high durability, and direct integration into EPS systems. The system analyzes measured values and automatically triggers an electrical fire alarm (EPS) when the temperature limit or sudden change is detected. Thanks to its modular architecture, LISTEC allows cable branching and external sensor connection, simplifying integration into existing infrastructures.
Areas of Application
LISTEC technology has proven particularly effective where traditional smoke detectors are unreliable:
Energy and industrial facilities – protection of switchgear, transformers, and battery systems
Parking structures and underground garages – detection of heat and smoke in dusty or exhaust-filled areas
Conveyor systems and cable routes – continuous temperature monitoring along long paths
Industrial production and cold storage – control of heat in critical processes
Infrastructure and public buildings – enhanced fire safety in complex facilities
Road and rail tunnels – early detection of fire and heat buildup
Implementation and System Adaptability
LISTEC systems are designed to adapt to different environments and technologies. The sensor cable can be installed along protected areas — above conveyors, cable trays, garages, or switchboards. Thanks to its modular structure, LISTEC easily integrates with existing EPS and building management systems, providing continuous data about location and scale of temperature changes.
This connection enables a rapid and targeted response, significantly reducing the time between risk occurrence and its elimination. Each project is individually designed — according to environment type, technical requirements, and desired level of protection.
Safety Without Compromise
LISTEC provides confidence that a fire risk will be identified long before it develops into an open flame. It ensures reliable protection for industrial operations, energy facilities, and infrastructure — where early detection and fast response are crucial for safety and operational continuity. With its combination of technical precision, flexibility, and long service life, LISTEC delivers a comprehensive fire detection solution for those who demand the highest level of fire safety — without compromise.
