Intelligent Thermal (Heat) Detectors
with FlashScan®

General

Notifier FST-851(A) Series intelligent plug-in thermal detectors
with integral communication has features that surpass conven­tional detectors. Point ID capability allows each detector’s
address to be set with rotary, decimal address switches, pro­viding exact detector locations. FST-851(A) Series thermal
detectors use an innovative thermistor sensing circuit to pro­duce 135°F/57°C fixed-temperature (FST-851/A) and rate-of­rise thermal detection (FST-851R/A) in a low-profile package.
FST-851H(A) provides fixed high-temperature detection at
190°F/88°C. These thermal detectors provide effective, intelli­gent property protection in a variety of applications. FST­851(A) Series detectors are compatible with Notifier Onyx and
CLIP series Fire Alarm Control Panels (FACPs).

FlashScan® (U.S. Patent 5,539,389) is a communication pro­tocol developed by Notifier Engineering that greatly enhances
the speed of communication between analog intelligent
devices and certain NOTIFIER systems. Intelligent devices
communicate in a grouped fashion. If one of the devices within
the group has new information, the panel’s CPU stops the
group poll and concentrates on single points. The net effect is
response speed greater than five times that of earlier designs.

Features

• Sleek, low-profile, stylish design.

• State-of-the-art thermistor technology for fast response.

• Rate-of-rise model (FST-851R/A), 15°F (8.3°C) per minute.

• Factory preset fixed temperature at 135°F (57°C); high-tem­perature model fixed at 190°F (88°C).

• Addressable by device.

• Compatible with FlashScan® and CLIP protocol systems.

• Rotary, decimal addressing (1-99 on CLIP systems, 1-159
on FlashScan systems).

• Two-wire SLC connection.

• Visible LEDs “blink” every time the unit is addressed.

• 360°-field viewing angle of the visual alarm indicators (two
bi-color LEDs). LEDs blink green in Normal condition and
turn on steady red in Alarm.

• Integral communications and built-in device-type identifica­tion.

• Remote test feature from the panel.

• Built-in functional test switch activated by external magnet.

• Walk test with address display (an address of 121 will blink
the detector LED 12-(pause)-1).

• Low standby current.

• Backward-compatible.

• Built-in tamper-resistant feature.

• Designed for direct-surface or electrical-box mounting.

• Sealed against back pressure.

• Plugs into separate base for ease of installation and main­tenance. Separate base allows interchange of photoelec­tric, ionization and thermal sensors.

• SEMS screws for wiring of the separate base.

• Constructed of off-white fire-resistant plastic, designed to
commercial standards, and offers an attractive appearance.

Installation

The FST Series plug-in intelligent thermal detectors use a sep­arate base to simplify installation, service, and maintenance.
Installation instructions are shipped with each detector. A spe­cial tool allows maintenance personnel to plug in and remove
detectors without using a ladder

Mount base (all base types) on an electrical backbox which is
at least 1.5" (3.81 cm) deep. For a chart of compatible junction
boxes, see DN-60054.

NOTE: 1) Because of the inherent supervision provided by the
SLC loop, end-of-line resistors are not required. Wiring “T-taps” or
branches are permitted for Style 4 (Class “B”) wiring. 2) When
using relay or sounder bases, consult the ISO-X(A) installation
sheet I56-1380 for device limitations between isolator modules
and isolator bases.
