FST-851 Series

Intelligent Thermal (Heat) Detectors with FlashScan®

 

Notifier FST-851 Series intelligent plug-in smoke detectors with integral communication provide features that surpass conventional detectors. Detector sensitivity can be programmed in the control panel software. Sensitivity is continuously monitored and reported to the panel. Point ID capability allows each detector’s address to be set with decade address switches, providing exact detector locations for selective maintenance when chamber contamination reaches an unacceptable level. FST-851 Series thermal detectors use an innovative thermistor sensing circuit to produce 135°F/57°C fixed-temperature (FST- 851) and rate-of-rise thermal detection (FST-851R) in a lowprofile package. FST-851H provides fixed high-temperature detection at 190°F/88°C. These thermal detectors provide cost effective, intelligent property protection in a variety of applications. FST-851 Series detectors are compatible with all Notifier intelligent Fire Alarm Control Panels (FACPs).

 

FlashScan® (U.S. Patent 5,539,389) is a communication protocol developed by Notifier Engineering that greatly enhances the speed of communication between analog intelligent devices and certain NOTIFIER systems. Intelligent devices communicate in a grouped fashion. If one of the devices within the group has new information, the panel’s CPU stops the group poll and concentrates on single points. The net effect is response speed greater than five times that of earlier designs.
