Heat Detector (Conventional)

Product Overview

The HST Conventional Heat Detector combines two detection methods in one device: a fixed temperature trip at 57°C (135°F), and rate-of-rise sensing that responds whenever the temperature climbs faster than 15°F per minute. That combination catches both a slow-building heat source and a fast-developing fire, without the false alarms smoke detectors can trigger in kitchens, garages, or dusty plant rooms.

It wires into any conventional fire alarm control panel with unpolarized input, so there's no risk of wiring it backwards on site. Two LEDs give 360° visibility of the detector's status — flashing every 5 seconds in standby, faster during pre-alarm, and latching solid once in alarm. The detector can only be reset by a momentary power interruption from the panel. Insect-resistant screening keeps false triggers from debris and pests to a minimum.

Where it's used

• Kitchens and food preparation areas
• Garages, workshops and boiler rooms
• Dusty or steamy plant/mechanical rooms
• Any space prone to smoke-detector false alarms
