Description
The Notifier FST-851R is a commercial heat detector designed for compatible Notifier addressable fire alarm systems. It combines 135°F (57°C) fixed-temperature detection with rate-of-rise heat sensing, providing dependable thermal detection for areas where smoke detectors may not be suitable.
The detector features rotary decimal addressing, dual status LEDs, plug-in installation, and continuous communication with compatible Notifier control panels for alarm reporting and device supervision. This product is intended exclusively for commercial fire alarm installations.
Product Functions
- Fixed-temperature heat detection
- Rate-of-rise heat detection
- Reports alarm conditions to the fire alarm control panel
- Individual device identification
- Continuous device supervision
- Dual LED status indication
- Supports magnetic functional testing
