Fixed Heat Detector with Base

The Fireboy-Xintex Heat Detector uses a single thermistor to sense the air temperature around the detector. This heat detector was designed to detect how fast the temperature is increasing.

Features:

163°F Fixed Heat Detector
Housing: White flame-retardant polycarbonate
Terminals: Nickel-plated stainless steel
Ideal in environments that are dirty or smoky
Unaffected by wind or atmospheric pressure
Remote test feature

Operation:

Open-web casing that enables air to flow freely across a thermistor which measures the air temperature every two seconds
A microprocessor stores the temperatures and compares them with pre-set values to determine whether a fixed upper limit - the alarm level - has been reached
Detectors the microprocessor uses algorithms to determine how fast the temperature is increasing
