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.

NOTE 

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 Local Fire 
Authority recommendations. 

 
Heat detectors are primarily designed for property 
protection.

  For Life protection early warning is required, 

this can be obtained by the installation of appropriate Smoke 
detectors. (GFE-CS) Heat detectors do not provide early 

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

 

Note: This product is factory sealed and does not 
contain user serviceable parts. Opening THE DETECTOR 
HEAD WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.
