Features :

• Multiple configurations for installations:
  – Single- and dual-circuit models
  – Fixed temp and combination fixed- temp/rate-of-rise135°F or 194°F ratings.
• Plain housing for residential installations (Model 5601P)
• Easy-to-use terminal screws
• A broad range of back box mounting options:
  – Single gang
  – 3.5˝ and 4˝ Octagonal
  – 4˝ square with square to round plaster ring
• Reversible mounting bracket

Multiple configurations. The 5600 series offers a full-line ofconfigurations to accommodate a broad range of applications. Bothsingle- and dual-circuit models are available for low- and hightemperatureratings with either fixed temperature or combinationfixed temperature/rate-of-rise (ROR) activation. The ROR element ofthe fixed/ROR models is restorable to accommodate field-testing.

Installation flexibility. To satisfy a variety of installation needs,the 5600 series easily mounts to single-gang and octagonal backboxes. And these models accommodate four-square back boxes,when used with a square to round plaster ring. The reversiblemounting bracket permits both flush- and surface-mount back boxinstallations.

Visual identification. The 5600 series provides clear markings onthe exterior of the unit to ensure that the proper detector is beingused. Alphanumeric characters identify the activation method, aswell as the temperature rating, in Fahrenheit and Celsius degrees.Fixed temperature models are identified FX, while combinationfixed/rate-of-rise units are marked FX/ROR. The 5600 series alsoprovides a post-activation indicator in the form of a collector. Whenthe detector is activated, the collector drops from the unit, making iteasy to identify the unit in alarm.

Architectural/Engineering Specifications

Mechanical heat detector shall be a System Sensor 5600 series model number _________, listed to Underwriters Laboratories UL 521 for Heat Detectors for FireProtective Signaling Systems. The detector shall be either a single-circuit or a dual-circuit type, normally open. The detector shall be rated for activation at either135°F (57°C) or 194°F (90°C), and shall activate by means of a fixed temperature thermal sensor, or a combination fixed temperature/rate-of-rise thermal sensor.The rate-of-rise element shall be activated by a rapid rise in temperature, approximately 15°F (8.3°C) per minute. The detector shall include a reversible mountingbracket for mounting to 3½-inch and 4-inch octagonal, single gang, and 4-inch square back boxes with a square to round plaster ring. Wiring connections shallbe made by means of SEMS screws that shall accommodate 14–22AWG wire. The detector shall contain alphanumeric markings on the exterior of the housingto identify its temperature rating and activation method. The rate-of-rise element of combination fixed temperature/rate-of-rise models shall be restorable, toallow for field-testing. The detectors shall include an external collector that shall drop upon activation to identify the unit in alarm.
