Discovery Heat Detector: VF5602-0M SLC Devices USCG Type Approved 161.002/A53/0 Standard Features - Compatible with Elite and Elite RS-M Control Panels - 5 operating modes - Fits into addressable 4” bases or 6” E-Z Fit bases - Addressable sounder alarm base - Address is set by X-Pert card and stored in base - User memory - Alarm flag for fast alarm reporting - Fixed point or rate of rise function The VF5602-0M Discovery Heat Detector has a common profile with the ionization and photo smoke detector, but has a low air flow resistance case made of self extinguishing white polycarbonate. Bases and cards are not included with detectors, please order separately. Fixed/ROR Profile Heat Detector response modes Fireboy-Xintex, Inc. O-379 Lake Michigan Drive Grand Rapids, MI 49534 . 616.735.9380 The VF5602-0M Analog Addressable Thermal Sensors are designed to provide the highest effectiveness by utilizing the latest technology. The sensor is designed for operation with the Elite addressable fire alarm control panels. Operation The VF5602-0M Heat Detector uses a single thermistor to sense the air temperature at the detector position. The thermistor is connected in a resistor network, which produces a voltage output dependent on the temperature. The design of the resistor network, together with processing algorithm in the microcontroller, gives an approximately linear characteristic from 50°F to 176°F. This line-arised signal is further processed, depending on the response mode selected, and converted to an analog output. A detector may be given an “R” or “S” suffix. The “R” suffix indicated that the detector has been shown to have a rate of rise characteristic. Such a detector will still give a rapid response even when starting from an ambient temperature well below its typical application temperature. This type of detector is therefore suitable for areas such as unheated warehouses in which ambient temperature may be very low for long periods. The “S” suffix indicates that the detector will not respond below its minimum static response temperature even when exposed to high rates of rise of air temperature. This type is therefore suitable for areas such as kitchens and boiler rooms where large, rapid temperature changes are considered normal.
