PRO-2000 SERIES
HEAT DETECTORS
Rate Compensated Heat Detector
Description
The Rate Compensated Heat Detectors provide accurate,
positive response to fire threats. They are typically used
to activate alarms and actuate extinguishing systems.
They virtually eliminate false alarms.
They combine the best features of both Fixed Temperature
and Rate-of-Rise detectors. All models are self-restoring,
hermetically sealed, shock and corrosion resistant, and
tamper-proof.
The Rate Compensated Heat Detectors are as reliable
as they are simple. The unit's Aluminum shell expands
as the temperature increases. At a pre-determined point,
the shell's expansion causes a set of contacts to close
sending an alarm signal to the Control Panel.

Features
• Rate compensated type of detector
• Durable hermetically sealed ALUMINUM shell
• All-weather and Explosion proof models available
• Easy to install
• Two temperature settings 57°C (135°F) and 90°C
(194°F)
When the surrounding air temperature goes below
the rated temperature level, the shell contracts which
forces contacts to open, thus automatically resetting the
detector.
The Rate Compensated Heat Detectors come two
temperature settings, 57°C (135°F) and 90°C (194°F).
The Rate Compensated Heat Detectors can be installed
in hazardous locations. They are recommended for
Class 1, Groups B, C and D locations and for Class 2,
Groups E, F and G locations. It is important when the
detector is mounted in an explosion-proof environment
that a suitable explosion-proof junction box is used.
