104 SERIES
Rate-of-Rise/
Fixed Temperature
Heat Detector
• Low profile with wide base
• Positive fixed temperature
• On-site testing of rate of rise
The ESL 104 Series spot heat detectors offer rate-ofrise/fixed temperature and fixed temperature only features for high performance and reliability. The rate-ofrise feature detects intense fires by quickly responding
to rapid temperature increases. The fixed temperature
feature reacts to fires when a specific temperature is
reached.
These high quality heat detectors feature the ultimate
in design and decor. The low silhouette and white finish
blend with most ceiling designs to make the detector
unobtrusive.
Materials for the 104 Series heat detector are carefully selected for strength, corrosion, resistance and
integrity at points of hermetic sealing. The detectors
require normal periodic testing and no field maintenance. Rate-of-rise operation may be tested by applying
heat from a convenient heat source (e.g. a portable
heat dryer).

Ordering Information
The 104 Series automatic heat detector models are equipped
with heavy-duty contacts and are designed to provide dependable, trouble-free operation for many years.
The heat detectors should be considered in all areas to provide automatic early warning of fire. They may be used on
standard open circuit (supervised or non-supervised) fire
alarm systems or in circuits that require current limiting.
Proper selection depends upon the normal temperature
ranges to which the detector will be subjected. Use the
Ordering Information chart below as a guide.
Application
The ESL 104 heat detector is for use in commercial fire protective signaling systems and in household fire warning systems (NFPA72).
Listed by Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. to Standard 521.
FM approved; California State Fire Marshal approved.

Principle of Operation
For Rate-of-Rise: Air expands when heated and contracts
when cooled. The ESL 104 Series of heat detectors consist of
an air chamber, a flexible metal diaphragm and a carefully calibrated, moisture-proof, trouble-free vent. For normal daytoday temperature fluctuations, the “breathing” action of the
vent compensates for any expansions or contraction of air in
the detector chamber. When a fire occurs, air in the chamber
expands faster than it can be vented, causing the diaphragm
to distend and close electrical contacts. This feature resets
automatically if the fixed temperature element is not activated.
For Fixed Temperature: An actuating spring is held under tension by a eutectic metal. When the detector temperature
reaches the melting point of the eutectic metal, the spring
releases, causing electrical contacts to close. When activated,
the external heat collector drops away to provide quick, visual
confirmation that the element has operated and that the detector must be replaced.
