The System Sensor 5600 Series Mechanical Heat
Detectors provide low-cost property protection against
fire and non-life-safety installations where smoke
detectors are inappropriate.
Notice
For life-safety installations, smoke detectors must
be used in lieu of or in addition to heat detectors.
Functions
Detector Labeling
The 5601P has a plain, unlabeled housing and is
intended for residential applications. All other models
have labeled housings to ensure that the proper
detector is being used. Alphanumeric characters
identify the activation method (FX for fixed
temperature or FX/ROR for combination fixed
temperature and rate-of-rise units) and the
temperature rating in degrees Fahrenheit and degrees
Celsius.
Post-activation Fixed-temperature Indicator
When the detector is activated, the collector drops
from the unit. This allows easy identification of all
units in alarm.
Notice
The fixed-temperature sensors cannot be reset so
they are not testable. The rate-of-rise sensors
automatically reset and can be tested if care is
taken to avoid exceeding the fixed-temperature
setting of the detector.
