Data Sheet

500 SERIES
FIXED TEMPERATURE/RATE-OF-RISE
HEAT DETECTORS
DESCRIPTION
The FCI Series 500 is a dual-action heat detector using two
independent methods of detection.
The rate-of-rise feature detects fires that grow rapidly in intensity by responding when the rate of temperature rise exceeds 15o F (9o C) per minute.
The fixed temperature element is independent of
rate-of-rise. It consists of a phosphor-bronze spring held under tension by a spot of fusible eutectic alloy which melts
when heated to its rated temperature, releasing the spring and
closing the contacts.
The different models are marked with unique paint
schemes in the center of the dome.
The contacts are normally open, SPST, and rated 1.0 amp
@ 6-24 volts DC.
The detector is 3 3/16" diameter by 2 3/16" high, (8.1 x 5.6
cm) and is surface mounted. It can be mounted on a 3 or
4-inch electrical box when used with a model AR5 adapter
plate.
The units are available in explosion-proof and combined
weather and moisture-proof versions. The explosion-proof
models are UL Listed and FM Approved for Class I, Groups
C and D, and Class II, Groups E, F and G.
