Description

Tyco MD611EX Conventional Intrinsically Safe Fixed Heat Detector

If environmental conditions rule out the use of smoke detectors, then a heat detector of the type MD601Ex/MD611Ex may provide an acceptable, though less sensitive, alternative. For general use, and particularly where the ambient temperature may be low, a ‘Rate-of-Rise’ heat sensor is to be preferred.

This type of sensor reacts to abnormally high rates of change of temperature and provides the fastest response over a wide range of ambient temperatures. A fixed temperature limit is also incorporated in these detectors. In many environments, e.g. kitchens and boiler rooms, sudden, large changes in temperature are considered ‘normal’. Rate-of-rise detectors are generally not suitable in these cases and fixed temperature static types should be used.; Tyco MD611EX – Data Sheet
