Description
The Potter PAD100-HD thermal sensor delivers reliable life safety detection in spaces where smoke detectors are prone to nuisance alarms, such as mechanical rooms, kitchens, or loading docks. The unit utilizes a specialized thermistor circuit to measure ambient temperature shifts with exceptional precision. Fire protection engineers can configure the device to alarm at a specific fixed point between 135?F and 185?F, or activate upon a rapid thermal spike exceeding 15?F per minute. It connects over standard 2-wire Signaling Line Circuits (SLC) using the analog PAD protocol to transmit real-time telemetry back to the main control panel. Device addressing is accomplished via physical 7-position DIP switches built directly into the rugged thermoplastic casing. The sensor head utilizes a twist-lock layout that fits seamlessly across the full line of PAD100 series active bases, integrating multi-directional LED indicators for status verification at ground level.
Features
- Dual-Mode Thermal Sensing: Allows installers to choose between fixed-temperature tracking, a rapid thermal rate-of-rise configuration, or a combination of both to match specific spatial fire hazards.
- Hardware-Based Field Addressing: Employs an accessible bank of physical DIP switches on the base of the head, letting technicians assign loop addresses (1–127) easily without relying on proprietary handheld software devices.
- Intelligent SLC Interrogation: Communicates continuously over a robust digital communication path to execute a complete loop check in under 5 seconds, beating international fire code safety rules.
- Low-Profile Architecture: Merges a space-saving engineering design with durable, commercial-grade plastics that mount flat against a ceiling grid when rotated into its compatible housing base.
- Wide Base Integration: Interacts smoothly with the complete lineup of active PAD100 mounting profiles, encompassing standard 4-inch (PAD100-4DB), 6-inch (PAD100-6DB), isolator, sounder, and relay bases.
- Proactive Status Monitoring: Features an integrated faceplate LED that pulses gently every 4 seconds during normal standby tracking and shifts to a rapid flash frequency when a fire event occurs.
