ProReact Linear Heat Detection for Escalators
Discreet, Reliable Fire Detection for Public Transport and Commercial Spaces.
Escalators are essential to the flow of people in transport hubs, shopping centres, and commercial buildings – but they also present unique fire risks. Electrical faults, friction from moving parts, and the accumulation of dust or debris can lead to overheating and ignition. Traditional fire detection systems often struggle to provide reliable coverage in these confined, mechanically active environments.
ProReact Linear Heat Detection (LHD) offers a robust, cable-based solution that delivers continuous monitoring along the length of escalators – even in enclosed or hard-to-access areas.

Why Escalator Fire Detection is so Challenging
- Concealed Components
Motors, drive chains, and wiring are often hidden within the escalator structure, making faults hard to detect early. - Mechanical Movement
Constant motion and vibration can interfere with conventional sensors or cause misalignment. - Restricted Access
Maintenance is difficult and disruptive, especially in high-traffic public areas. - Environmental Contaminants
Dust, grease, and debris can trigger false alarms or degrade sensor performance.
How ProReact LHD Solves Challenges in Escalators
- Close-to-Risk Installation
ProReact cables can be installed directly along motor housings, drive chains, and under escalator steps – placing detection exactly where fire risks are highest. - Continuous Coverage
Unlike point detectors, LHD provides uninterrupted monitoring across the escalator length. - Resilient Design
Available with nylon, PVC, or stainless-steel +braid coating, ProReact cables resist abrasion, vibration, and contaminants. - Low Maintenance
Designed as a “fit and forget” solution, ProReact LHD minimises servicing needs in hard-to-reach areas. - Smart Activation Options:
- Fixed Temperature (Digital): Triggers at a set temperature – ideal for motor zones and enclosed compartments.
- Programmable Temperature (Analogue): Offers resettable detection and rate-of-rise sensitivity for dynamic environments.
