Series 600 reacts to rapid temperature rises and specific increases in temperature

Ceiling Surface Mounting

The Series 600 heat detector is attractive, durable and features a combination rate-of-rise and fixed-temperature operation. The heat detectors are available in 135ºF (57ºC) or 200ºF (94ºC) temperature ratings.

Rate-of-Rise

The rate-of-rise function detects heat quickly by responding to a rapid temperature increase. The pneumatic element responds to a rapid rise in temperature, approximately 15ºF (8ºC) per minute, when the air expands faster within the sealed chamber than it can escape through the calibrated vent. The increase in pressure depresses the diaphragm, causing the electrical contacts to close the circuit. Rate-of-rise units have a wide spacing allowance of 50 foot centers.

Fixed-Temperature

The fixed temperature function reacts to heat by responding to a specific temperature setting. The element is constructed of a fusible alloy, which fuses at the fixed temperature setting of either 135ºF (57ºC) or 200ºF (94ºC). When activated, the external heat collector drops away to provide quick visual confirmation that the element has operated.

Low Profile

The units protrude only 1-3/8 inches from the ceiling surface with a junction box mounting. The pleasantly contoured, all-white finished design conforms aesthetically to most ceilings.

INSTALLATION

Each detector includes a patented reversible mounting plate. In one position, it easily attaches to a  3-1/4 or 4 inch octagonal box, or a plaster ring.

In the opposite position, the plate can be used for open wiring without a junction box. A 1/4 inch space between the detector and the mounting surface provides room for the wire connections. All mounting screws are concealed.

The detector attaches easily to the mounting plate with a push and twist motion, requiring no tools. The mounting plate is molded from a white self-extinguishing thermoplastic, rated at 221ºF (105ºC). The plate is extremely strong yet is pliable enough to adapt to uneven mounting surfaces.

CAUTIONs

• Where life safety is involved, smoke detectors
  MUST also be used
• Heat detectors should be used for property
  protection only
• Reliance should not be placed solely on
  heat detectors for life safety
• Detectors must not be painted
•  Heat detectors should be electronically
  supervised with battery backup at the panel
