Potter PAD300-HD Heat Detector

The Potter PAD300-HD addressable thermal sensor delivers reliable life-safety detection in challenging environments where dust, steam, or cooking exhaust render traditional smoke detectors impractical. Ideal for mechanical rooms, commercial kitchens, laundries, and unheated storage docks, the device utilizes a precision electronic thermistor circuit to read real-time ambient temperature changes. System engineers can configure the device via panel software to operate as a fixed-temperature trigger, a rapid rate-of-rise sensor, or a combination of both. It integrates directly onto standard 2-wire Signaling Line Circuits (SLC) using the digital PAD protocol, flashing its localized multi-state status LED to indicate regular control panel polling. Housed in a clean, high-impact thermoplastic shell, the detector features an ultra-low-profile frame that requires less than 1.5 inches of ceiling headroom, twisting securely onto any standard PAD300 series active mounting base.
