This provides a unique advantage over both fixed temperature and rale-otrise types of detectors because the D-A-F detector accurately senses the surounding a temperature rogarless of the regrowth rato. At he pre-determined setpoint the system activates. Fixed temperature detectors must be completely heated to alarm temperature and therefore a lag in response ime may occur witha fast tale fre.

For "ordinary" use, they may be mounted to ‘any aporoved junction box with 7/8" diameter opening by using 1/2-14 NPT mounting nuts. The device may be wired in or aut of con- duit, depending on local preferences and codes. To facilitate supervsion of system wiring, four lead wires are provided on normally open vertical detectors (that close on temperature rise). When mounted in a appropriately classified mounting box (ie. Figure 7), detectors {are Underwriters Laboratory and Underwriters Laboratory of Canada listed, and FM Approved for hazardous location.

The low-profile, functional design lends physical protection of the detector while making It suitable for commercial, industrial, mercantile public buildings, institutions, and marine applications in non-hazardous locations (those classified as "ordinary" under the National Electric Code). Flush mounted detectors are designed to fit standard 4-inch octagonal electric boxes and surface mounting detec- tors are designed to mount directly on ceilings or on 4-inch electrical junction boxes, Canadian Electrical Codes requires mounting only to an electrical junetion box: Horizontal Models Table 3: Model Numbers: 27021-0, 27021-1, 27020-0*, 27020-1* Spacing ee | os ca = seting | ohtnce Rf : = 160, 8) Be | 20 | Quick | Black lacuna vabricnigs ee | ofa on ms Fee |e = eee ‘+ *27020-0 and 27020-1 are normally closed devices and do not meet the Thence nr ayn fe a, Table 4: Horizontal D-A-F Specifications szxzozoan terzranon timber | Mounting ck Operation | Esta Rating Figure 6, Hrzontal Detectors Model number | Mounting Style | Contact Operation | lectin Rating TED] anounced | samp evac] «(Nols Horizontal D-AF decors ae 27020- ‘Surface Mount (Open on Rise) 0.5 Amps 125 VDC place of leadwire tor in Me sh Mount | 5.0 Amps 125 VAC clan Flash Me ‘Normally Open 0.5 Amps 125 VDC : sauawome’| (ements) | 20am 24voe poate Surface Mount 1.0 Amps 48 VOC | Repro wae 10 oe 20001 a sonnca FENWAL CONTROLSHORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL DETECT-A-FIRE Table 5: D-A-F Response Time Index (RTI) and Spacing on | Confiouation | operation ‘Gerrans Inder tes) | elssiteation a. | “Spacing Fs Meet | normaly nen | aoe onc, 60% (1) 10 exon | asx298 ona | ear | (oewen) | MORES NOG owe | Erm | tat pa | denna pen | S228 (Htc, 20%" (98, (ax orraty open | 152 rr esx29e | apxa9e Rarratopen | ase (neh ae 5, 0 fat csazyn | asxz0¢ mona | Hee | Sass} a yaa | grssteed ore (ce), 160% hve, 160") ovr (Gaeh ter Gare, | got, ore mrasae | _.vetear_ | Nematy open | Zar sone) 254 (5%, vee | 0x28 | asx298 soni Head | {aossentee) | ice Cieret seo tere) | 27 25 TE ram | Grd ‘ore se, sr enc) | 8 SO mens | Sasa sho G10, rar OHSS ‘Note paces hewn are dca between decor cn srocth ong, he arcs fom partons owas Wedd be a a shown. ‘Ahoy Hawn Sureeton (0) Shou be consid foe tate DETECT-A-FIRE MOUNTING D-A-F detectors are not postion senstve, Horizontal and vertical detectors refer tothe most common mounting configuration for that detector.
