Before Installing
This detector must be installed in compliance with
the control panel installation manual and meet the
requirements of NFPA 72, and/or the local authority
having jurisdiction.
Read this manual carefully before using the detector. This manual should be left with the owner/user
of this equipment.
General Description
The 5600 series mechanical heat detector is intended for use in property protection applications,
or for non-life-safety installations where smoke detection is not practical or appropriate.
For life-safety installations, smoke detectors must
be used, in lieu of, or in addition to mechanical heat
detectors.
The 5600 series consists of both single- and dualcircuit heat detectors featuring fixed temperature
thermal sensors or combination fixed temperature/
rate-of-rise sensors, with temperature ratings of 135ºF
(57ºC) or 194ºF (90ºC).
Markings on the exterior of the detector indicate the
specific activation method and temperature rating. All
models are identified as either 135ºF/57ºC or 194ºF/
90ºC. Models equipped with combination fixed temperature/rate-of-rise sensors are marked FX/ROR.
Fixed temperature only models are marked FX.
Non-Resettable Fixed Temperature Sensor
The fixed temperature element reacts to heat by responding to a specific temperature setting (135ºF
or 194ºF). The detection method is based on the
spring action of a metal contact, held to the metal
chamber by a fusible alloy. When the temperature
reaches the alloy’s melting point, the metal contact
will depress the diaphragm, causing the electrical
contact to close the circuit. The circular external
heat collector is released from the detector to visually indicate that the detector has been activated.
NOTE: 5600 series Fixed Temperature models (5603,
5604, 5623, and 5624) are non-resettable, and cannot be tested.

RTI ratings are for installations which must comply with FM 3210.
Heat Detector Type RTI Classification
Fixed 135°F RTI: SPECIAL

Self-Restoring Rate-of-Rise (ROR) Sensor
The rate-of-rise element responds to a rapid rise of
temperature, approximately 15ºF (8.3ºC) per minute. As the temperature rises, the air within the
sealed chamber expands. Should the chamber air
expand faster than it can escape through the calibrated vent, the diaphragm is depressed, and the
electrical contact closes the circuit.
NOTE: Only the ROR element of 5600 series combination fixed temperature/ROR models (5601P,
5602, 5621, and 5622) are self-restoring, and may be
tested using a hair dryer or heat gun. When testing
the ROR element, to prevent the activation of the
fixed temperature element, the heat source must not
exceed the fixed temperature rating of the detector.

Mounting Bracket
All 5600 series detectors are equipped with a mounting bracket that includes mounting slots to accommodate single-gang, 3
1
⁄2˝ octagonal, and 4˝ octagonal
electrical boxes, as well as 4˝ square boxes equipped
with a plaster ring (Figure 1). The mounting bracket
is reversible to accommodate flush-mount and surface–mount installations (Figure 2).
Wiring Installation Guidelines
All wiring must be installed in compliance with the
National Electrical Code, applicable state and local
codes, and any special requirements of the local
Authority Having Jurisdiction. Proper wire gauges
should be used. The conductors used to connect
heat detectors to the alarm control panel and accessory devices should be color-coded to reduce the
