temperature is correct and stable. 

(2). From a distance of several inches, direct the airflow 

at the guard protecting the thermistor. The detector 
should alarm within 30 seconds. 

(3). Upon alarm immediately remove the heat source 

and   check that the red LED of the detector is 
illuminated. Reset the detector from the control 
panel. 

(4).

 

If a detector fails to activate within 60 seconds, 

confirm connections and programming. If necessary 
replace and return to distributor for recalibration. 

(5). After testing, check that the system is set for 

normal operation and notify the appropriate 
authorities that the testing operation is complete 
and the system is active again.

CAUTIONS 

This heat detector is particularly designed to 

initiate and 

activate 

emergency action, but will do so only when it is 

used in conjunction with an authorized fire alarm system. 
This detector must be installed in accordance with NFPA 
Standard 72. 

 
The purpose of design of heat detectors is meant to 
protect property, not life.

 The heat detectors do not provide 

early warning of fire and cannot detect smoke, gas, 
combustion particles, or flame. They will alarm when 
temperature at the heat detector reach 57

o

C (135

o

F) or 

above. Given the rapid growth of certain types of fires, heat 
detectors cannot be expected to provide adequate warning 
of fires resulting from smoking in bed, inadequate fire 

protection practices, violent explosions, escaping gas, and 
improper storage of flammable liquids like cleaning solvents, 
other safety hazards, or arson. 

Heat detectors do not always detect fires because the 
fire may be a slow-smoldering, low-heat type (producing 
smoke), or because they may not be mean where the fire 
occurs, or because the heat of the fire may bypass them.

 

Heat detectors will not detect smoke, gas, flames, or 
combustion particles. 
 
Heat detectors are components in professionally installed fire 
alarm systems

They will not function if they have been 

improperly wired into the fire alarm system or if power to 
them is disconnected for any reason. 

 

Heat detectors 

should be tested and maintained following 

the instructions in this manual. To be safe, they should be 
replaced after they have been installed for ten years. 
 

Refer to NFPA 72 for application. 

 

CAUTION: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DISASSEMBLY OF THE 
FACTORY SEALED HEAT DETECTOR. THIS ASSEMBLY 
IS SEALED FOR YOUR PROTECTION AND IS NOT 
INTENDED TO BE OPENED FOR SERVICING BY USERS. 
TO OPEN THE DETECTOR HEAD WILL VOID THE 
WARRANTY.
