EXPLOSION PROOF THERMAL DETECTORS

THERMOTECH®
DESCRIPTION
The Thermotech thermal detectors are normally open devices designed especially
for fire detection and alarm systems. The detectors are a rate anticipation type that
operate immediately whenever the ambient area temperature reaches the preset
temperature setting of the detector, regardless of how fast or slow the temperature
rises. When the temperature drops back down below the set-point, the detector will
reset itself.
Under rapid heat increase situations, the rate anticipation feature allows the detector
to respond one to three degrees ahead of the set-point. However, the detector does
not respond to momentary fluctuations of temperatures below that of the alarm
setting, thus eliminating false alarms.

APPLICATION
The Thermotech explosion-proof thermal detectors are used to detect the
presence of heat beyond the detector’s temperature set-point for the purpose of
activating a fire alarm and/or automatic suppression system. The detectors are
explosion rated for Class I and Class II hazardous environments. The maximum
area coverage for each detector is rated at 40 ft. x 40 ft. in accordance with the APPROVALS:
manufacturer’s specified limitations.

 DETECT-A-FIRE®
DESCRIPTION
The Detect-A-Fire thermal detectors are normally open devices designed especially
for fire detection and alarm systems. The detectors come in a range of temperature
settings from 190°F to 450°F. Each is color coded to visually indicate its temperature
setting. (Refer to the table below)
The detectors are rate compensation type that operate immediately whenever the
ambient area temperature reaches the preset temperature setting of the detector,
regardless of how fast or slow the temperature rises. When the temperature drops
back down below the set-point, the detector will reset itself. However, the detector
does not respond to momentary fluctuations of temperatures below that of the
alarm setting, thus eliminating false alarms.

APPLICATION
The Detect-A-Fire explosion-proof thermal detectors are used to detect the presence
of heat beyond the detector’s set-point for the purpose of activating a fire alarm
and/or automatic suppression system. The detectors are explosion rated for Class I,
Groups B, C and D and Class II, Groups E, F and G hazardous environments. The
maximum spacing for each detector is shown in the table below.
