The inner core and the sheath are separated by an electrically insulating semiconductor material ... This insulation loses some of its electrical resistance capabilities at a predetermined temperature anywhere along the line. When this condition happens, the current flow between the two components increases, initiating the alarm signal through the system control unit.

CONT

L'âme et la gaine sont séparées par un matériau semiconducteur électro-isolant [...] Cette isolation perd une partie de sa capacité de résistance électrique à une température prédéterminée à n'importe quel endroit de la ligne. Lorsque cette situation se produit, la circulation du courant électrique entre les deux éléments s'accroît, ce qui déclenche un signal d'alarme à l'unité de contrôle du système.
