SIGA-HFD Intelligent Fixed-
Temperature Heat Detector
Installation Sheet
Description
The Signature Series SIGA-HFD Intelligent Fixed-Temperature Heat
Detector
that contains a fixed-temperature heat sensor to detect heat
from fire. The heat sensor monitors the temperature of the air in its
surroundings and the detector analyzes the data to determine whether
to initiate an alarm.
LED indicator.
The LED indicator (see Figure 1) displays the following
states:
•
Normal: Green LED indicator flashes, no action
•
Alarm/active: Red LED indicator flashes, evacuate the area

Installation
Install and wire this device in accordance with applicable national and
local codes, ordinances, and regulations.
WARNINGS
•
This detector does not operate without electrical power. As fires
frequently cause power interruption, discuss further safeguards
with the local fire protection specialist.
•
This detector does not sense fires in areas where heat cannot
reach the detector. Heat from fires in walls, roofs, or on the
opposite side of closed doors may not reach the detector.
•
This detector by itself does not provide smoke or fire protection.
Use this detector with ionization or photoelectric smoke detectors,
or both.
•
This detector does not detect oxygen levels, smoke, toxic gases,
or flames. Use this device as part of a broad-based life safety
program, which includes a variety of information sources pertaining
to heat and smoke levels, extinguishment systems, visible and
audible devices, and other safety measures.
•
Independent studies indicate that heat detectors should only be
used when property protection alone is involved. Never rely on
heat detectors as the sole means of fire protection.
Note
•
To ensure proper operation, store the detector within the
recommended ranges. Allow the detector to stabilize to room
temperature before applying power.
•
The dust cover (supplied) must remain on the detector during
installation and be removed prior to commissioning and service.
The dust cover is not a substitute for removing the detector during
new construction or heavy remodeling.
•
In Canada, install according to CAN/ULC-S524
Standard for the
Installation of Fire Alarm Systems
, CSA C22.1
Canadian Electrical
Code
Part 1, and the local authority having jurisdiction.
To install the detector:
1. Install and wire the base, as described on the installation sheet
supplied with the base.
2. Remove the serial number label from the detector and attach it to
the project documentation.
3. Attach the detector to the base by rotating the detector clockwise
until it snaps into the locked position.
Testing
Before testing, notify the proper authorities that the fire alarm system is
undergoing maintenance and will be temporarily out of service.
Caution:
Heat damage. Excessive heat may damage the detector
outer cover. Do not apply excessive heat when using a hair dryer.
When using a Testifire detector tester, you must install a SIGA2
Testifire Adapter Assembly.
Make sure the SIGA2 Testifire Adapter Assembly (model
SIGA2-TSTSPACER) is installed in the Testifire detector tester before
testing. Refer to the
SIGA2-TSTSPACER Testifire Adapter Assembly
Installation Sheet
(P/N 3101942-ML) for further details.
