Release Control System Reference
Automatic Extinguishing Release Systems
automatically activate actuators for the release of a fire
extinguishing agent (dry chemical, water spray, foam,
CO2, Clean Agent, etc.) in response to fire detection
device input.
Automatic Extinguishing Release Systems with
Separate Bell Control (single hazard) (SW rev. 4.01
or higher). RAC 2 operates as a bell control NAC. When
cross-zoned, stage 1 alarm activates the bell until the
release timer starts. When not cross-zoned, stage 1 alarm
activates the bell until expiration of the release timer. In
both cross-zoned and non cross-zoned applications,
NAC2 may be programmed to indicate either a tamper
switch supervisory condition or the start of the release
timer using a cadence pattern operation.
UL and FM Extinguishing Release System Panels
must have a minimum of 24 hours of standby power.
Initiating devices must be Listed/Approved for the
application, and may be wired either Class A or B.
Actuators must be electrically compatible with the control
panel circuits and power supplies, and are wired Class B to
provide coil supervision. (See details in next section.)
Deluge and Preaction Sprinkler Systems
automatically activate water control valves in response to
fire detection device input.
Deluge Sprinkler Systems employ open sprinkler heads
and provide water flow when the fire detection system
activates a common automatic water control valve. They are
used to deliver water simultaneously through all of the open
sprinkler heads. This type of system is applicable where the
immediate application of large quantities of water over large
areas is the proper fire response.
Preaction Sprinkler Systems are similar to deluge
systems except that normally closed sprinkler heads are used
and supervisory air pressure is maintained in the pipe.
Operation requires both an activated sprinkler head and an
activated fire alarm initiating device.
Combined Agent Release and Preaction Systems
provides agent release and preaction control. (Available
with software revision 4.01 or higher.) For applications
where agent release may not be sufficient for fire control,
sprinklers are put in preaction mode to allow waterflow to
continue the fire response. (Preaction is assumed, selected
deluge could be provided, determined by the sprinkler
installation, panel operation is the same.)
UL requirements for Fire Alarm Systems Listed for
Automatic Release or Deluge and Preaction Sprinkler
Systems are the same as described above for Automatic
Extinguishing Release Systems.
FM Approved requirements for Fire Alarm Systems for
Automatic Release of Deluge and Preaction Sprinkler
Systems require operation of specific compatible FM
Approved Automatic Water Control Valves, a minimum
secondary power capacity of 90 hours, and all circuits for
the automatic release initiating devices must be capable of
operation during a single open circuit fault condition
(Class A).
PLEASE NOTE: Proper operation of release control systems requires that the system design, installation, and maintenance be
performed correctly and in accordance with all applicable local and national codes, and equipment manufacturer’s
instructions. No liability for total system operation is assumed or implied.

Description
Optical Detection. The optical detector uses a unique
measuring system. Unlike most other optical scatter
detectors the optical design does not use vertical chevrons
to exclude ambient light, but uses concentric baffles. This
approach gives a better signal to noise ratio.
This type of detector is very effective in detecting very
low levels of visible smoke particulates (often at levels
where they are not visible to the naked eye). Invisible
smoke aerosol products, cannot however, be detected
using current optical smoke detectors as these aerosols do
not scatter or obscure light. This means that optical
detectors favor the type of fire that we have described as
slow burning.
Although this is true, some smoldering materials such as
rubber will produce a predominantly black smoke, which
has less scattering properties than white smoke and will
be detected later than an equivalent density of white
smoke.

Series 600 Optical Smoke Detectors
for Two-Wire Bases
601P-UL Optical Smoke Detector Mounted
in 5B Base with 6A-5B-UL Adapter
Series 600 Detector Features
The optical system consists of an infrared emitter and
receiver arranged such that their optical axes cross in the
sampling volume. The emitter produces a narrow beam of
light which is prevented from reaching the receiver by the
baffles. When smoke is present in the sampling volume a
proportion of the light is scattered, some of which reaches
the receiver. For a given type of smoke, the light reaching
the photodetector is proportional to the smoke density.
The emitter is a GaAlAs solid state type operating in the
near infrared at 880 nm, while the sensor is a matched
silicon photodiode. These devices are held in place by the
labyrinth mouldings. The design of the labyrinth is such
that the presence of small insects should not cause false
alarms.
Application Reference
Detector Locations (see table on page 4). Locations
should be determined only after careful consideration of
the physical layout and contents of the area to be
protected. Refer to NFPA 72, the National Fire Alarm
Code. On smooth ceilings, smoke detector spacing of
30 ft (9.1 m) may be used as a guide.
Sensitivity Selection. The 601P-UL standard
sensitivity detector is recommended for most applications.
When a special application for reduced sensitivity
detector is required, the 601-P-UL-L should be
considered. Consult your local Simplex product supplier
for assistance in determining the proper selection.

Description
Heat Detector Categories. Heat detectors fall into two
main categories; those that go into alarm once a certain
sensor temperature has been reached (fixed) and those
that go into alarm if the rate of temperature increase is
above a certain level (rate-of-rise).
The combination of rate-of-rise and fixed temperature
sensing elements allows fire detection from low
temperatures, where rate-of-rise sensing would give an
earlier alarm than a fixed temperature, with the fixed
temperature element available for fires where temperature
builds up gradually.
Heat Detector Considerations. Heat detection is not
as fast as smoke detection in most fires as early stages of
a fire tend to burn less hot than the later stages. However,
hostile environments where aerosols, dust, smoke or even
extremes of temperature are normally present, preclude
the use of smoke detectors as a fire indicator. In these
cases a heat detector may provide an acceptable, though
less sensitive alternative. Heat detection is also often used
where the risk of fires or the consequences of fire are
considered low, as heat detection is generally less
expensive than smoke detection.

601H-F-UL Heat Detector Mounted
in 5B Base with 6A-5B-UL Adapter
Series 600 Detector Features
Rate-of-Rise. Two negative temperature coefficient
thermistors, Rsens and Rref are used in a bridge
configuration. One thermistor, Rsens, is exposed to the air
while the other, Rref, is thermally lagged inside the
detector body.
If the temperature of the air around the detector rises
quickly, a temperature difference will be established
between Rsens and Rref. The values of the bridge
components are chosen such that, if a particular rate of
change of temperature is sustained for sufficient time, the
comparator will change state and the detector will signal
an alarm condition. If the rate of temperature increase is
very slow, then the temperatures of the sensing and
reference thermistors will be more nearly equal. Under
these conditions the bridge components ensure that the
comparator changes state when the predetermined fixed
temperature is reached.
The Rate-of-Rise detector has a rate sensitivity and fixed
(static) temperature setting to suit a particular type of
application.
Fixed Temperature. The Fixed Temperature detector is
similar to the rate-of-rise detector except that the
reference thermistor is replaced by a fixed resistor. The
detector, therefore, responds more slowly to Rate-of-Rise
of temperature. The bridge components are chosen instead
to cause a comparator to change state when the sensing
thermistor reaches a predetermined temperature
irrespective of the rate of change.

Application Reference
Detector Locations (see table on page 4). Heat
detectors are used where property protection is desired
and where life safety protection is not required or is
performed by other equipment. Typical heat detector
applications are satisfied by the use of fixed temperature
detectors.
The addition of rate-of-rise operation provides two forms
of heat detection for use where temperature fluctuations
are controlled and are less than 6° F/min (3.33° C/min).
Where temperature may fluctuate more quickly, use fixed
temperature detectors.
Fixed Temperature Guidelines
135° F (57° C) fixed temperature detectors are for normal
temperatures that do not exceed 100° F (38° C).
200° F (93° C) fixed temperature detectors are for normal
temperatures that exceed 100°F (38° C) but are less than
150° F (66° C).
WARNING:
In most fires, hazardous levels of smoke and
toxic gas can build up before a heat detection
device would initiate an alarm. In cases where
Life Safety is a factor, the use of a smoke
detector is highly recommended.

FOAM SYSTEM
Operation RELEASE

Double Action Push Type Manual Release
Stations require that a spring loaded interference plate
(marked PUSH) be pushed back to access the pull lever of
the single action station, reducing the possibility of an
accidental activation. A firm downward pull of the lever
then activates the alarm switch, breaking an internal
plastic break-rod, visible below the pull lever.
Break-rod use is optional. Use of a break-rod can provide
an additional reduction of the possibility of an accidental
activation without interfering with the minimum pull
requirements needed for easy activation.
When activated, the pull lever latches into the alarm
position and remains extended out of the housing to
provide a visible indication.
Station reset requires the use of a key to reset the
manual station lever and deactivate the alarm switch. (If
the break-rod is used, it must be replaced.)
Station testing is performed by physical activation of
the pull lever. Electrical testing can be also performed by
unlocking the station housing to activate the alarm switch.

NOTES:
1. “Regulated 24 VDC” refers to the voltage range of 16 to 33 VDC per UL Standard 1971, Signaling Devices for the
Hearing Impaired. This voltage range is the absolute operating range. Operation outside of this range may cause
permanent damage to the appliance. Please note that 16 VDC is the lowest operating voltage that is allowed at the last
appliance on the NAC under worst case conditions. The strobe of this A/V is field selectable for free-run or synchronized
operation.
2. The maximum RMS current listed is the device nameplate rating. Strobe designs are constant wattage and the maximum
RMS current rating occurs at the lowest allowable operating voltage. (RMS is root mean square and refers to the
effective value of a varying current waveform.)
3. Terminals are provided for wiring the horn and strobe of these A/Vs to separate NACs. Operation of the horn and strobe
is not separately controlled when they are both wired to the same NAC.
4. The rated voltage range listed is the absolute operating range. Operation outside of this range may cause permanent
damage to the appliance. Please note that 16 VDC is the lowest operating voltage that is allowed at the last appliance on
the notification appliance circuit under worst case conditions.
5. Coded values are typical of the output measured with a Temporal coded or a March Time coded pulse and with a sound
level meter reading on a “fast” setting. Under the same test conditions, coded horn output “peak” sound level readings
are typically 4 dBA higher.
