A heat detector employing a Rate of Rise threshold will activate if the temperature rises 15
o
or
more per minute. If an alarm temperature threshold is available, it is usually set at 135
o
or 194
o.
An alarm will be triggered if any threshold is exceeded. Due to the design of the heat detection
mechanism, once an alarm has been triggered, the heat detector must be replaced.
Do not paint the heat detector.
