Heat Detectors Series 600

The Heat Detectors Series 600 are supplied with the following standard features:

• Rate-of-Rise and Fixed Temperature

• One or Two-Circuit, Normally Open

• Easy Installation

Description

The Series 600 Heat Detector is attractive, durable and features combination rate-of-rise and fixed temperature operation. Heat detectors are available in 135°F and 200°F temperature ratings.

Rate-of-rise detects heat by quickly responding to a rapid temperature increase. Rate-of-rise units have a wide spacing allowance of 50-foot centers. See specification table for details.

Fixed temperature reacts to heat by responding to a specific temperature setting.

Series 600 Detectors use the same reliable pneumatic rate-ofrise element of former models, but offer added aesthetic appeal.

The pneumatic rate-of-rise element responds to a rapid rise in temperature, approximately 15°F. (8°C) per minute, by expansion of air within the sealed chamber faster than it can escape through a calibrated vent. The resultant increase in pressure depresses the diaphragm, causing the electrical contact to close the circuit.

The fixed temperature element uses a fusible alloy. When activated, the external heat collector drops away to provide quick visual confirmation that the element has operated.

The units protrude only 1-3/8 inch from the ceiling surface with a junction box mounting. They have pleasing contours and an all-white finish that conforms to ceiling aesthetics.

Installation

Each detector includes a patented reversible mounting plate. In one position, it easily attaches to 3.25" or 4" octagonal box, or plaster ring.

In reverse, the plate can be used for open wiring without a junction box. A 1/4" space between detector and mounting surface allows for wire connections. All mounting screws are concealed.

The detector attaches easily to the mounting plate with a push and twist motion. No tools are required.

• Low Profile

• Visual Indication

• Operation Testing

3-1/4" or 4" Octagonal Box

Mounting plate is molded of white self-extinguishing thermoplastic rated at 221°F (105°C). The plate is extremely strong yet adapts to uneven mounting surfaces.

Series 600 Testing Methods

Models 601/621 and 602/622 can be tested by the quick application of heat from any convenient source. A portable hair dryer is recommended. However, do not apply heat that exceeds the fixed temperature rating of the detector.

Models 603/623 and 604/624 cannot be tested. However, the fusible alloy element used is considered so reliable that testing is not necessary.

Important Special Notes

Application: Heat detectors should be used for property protection. Reliance should not be placed on heat detectors for Life Safety .

CAUTION: When life safety is involved, smoke detectors MUST also be used. Detectors must not be painted.

Battery Back-Up: Heat detectors should be electronically supervised with battery back-up at the panel.

The rate-of-rise mechanism may be subject to reduced sensitivity over time. Annual testing of the rate-of-rise mechanism is recommended.
