Description
The Detect-A-Fire thermal detectors are normally open devices designed especially for fi re detection and alarm systems. The detectors come in a range of temperature settings from 190°F to 450°F. Each is color coded to visually indicate its temperature setting. (Refer to the table below)
The detectors are a rate compensation type that operate immediately whenever the ambient area temperature reaches the preset temperature setting of the detector, regardless of how fast or slow the temperature rises. When the temperature drops back down below the set-point, the detector will reset itself. However, the detector does not respond to momentary fluctuations of temperatures below that of the alarm setting, thus eliminating false alarms.
