When selecting the location on the ceiling for the heat sensor, do not locate it in direct path of hot or cold air flow. Refer to the detector specifications for the recommended maximum spacing. Earlier detector response may be obtained by reducing the spacing between detectors. •••••• Overview CR/CF Series heat detectors offer fixed temperature or combination rate-of-rise and fixed temperature detection. RATE-OF-RISE: A temperature increase at the sensor of 15°F (9°C) or more per minute activates the rate-of-rise feature. This closes the contacts in the sensor to transmit the alarm condition to the fire alarm control panel. When the rate-of-rise element alone has been activated, the sensor is self-restoring. FIXED TEMPERATURE: If the temperature of the center disk rises to the sensor’s rated temperature, the fixed temperature element activates. This closes contacts in the sensor and transmits an alarm condition to the fire alarm control panel. The fixed temperature element is non-restorable and, when activated, the detector must be replaced. The need for replacement is indicated when the center disk has fallen free from the detector.Rate-of-rise/Fixed Temperature Heat Detectors CR/CF Series U.S.T 888-244-9979F 866-503-3996CanadaT 519 376 2430F 519 376 7258AsiaT 852 2907 8108F 852 2142 5063EuropeT 32 2 725 11 20F 32 2 721 86 13Latin AmericaT 305 593 4301F 305 593 4300www.gesecurity.com/v igilant© 2006 General Electric CompanyAll Rights ReservedData Sheet M85001-0367 Issue 2.1Not to be used for installation purposes.

In most fires, hazardous levels of smoke, heat and toxic gases can build up before a heat detector would initiate an alarm. Independent studies indicate that heat detectors should only be used when property protection alone is involved. In cases where life safety is a factor, the use of smoke detectors is recommended.Under no circumstances should heat detectors be relied upon as the sole measure to ensure fire safety. However, if they are spaced in accordance with the directions in the Specifications table, these sensors can contribute, within an overall fire safety program, to reducing the risk of avoidable property losses.
