Nickel plated stainless steel wiper contacts connect the detector to the base. Inside the case a printed circuit board holds the signal processing electronics.A pair of matched negative temperature co-efficient thermistors are mounted on the PCB in such a way that one thermistor is exposed to give good thermal contact with the surrounding air while the other thermistor is thermally insulated.Under stable conditions both thermistors are in thermal equilibrium and have the same value of resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf air temperature increases rapidly the resistance of the exposed thermistor becomes less than that of the insulated thermistor. The ratio of the resistance of the thermistors is monitored electronically and an alarm is initiated if the ratio exceeds a factory preset level. This feature determines the 'rate of rise' response of the detector.If air temperature increases slowly, no significant resistance difference develops between the thermistors, but at high temperatures a fixed value resistance connected in series with the insulated thermistor becomes significant.When the sum of the resistance of the insulated thermistor and the fixed resistor compared to the resistance of the exposed thermistor reaches a preset value, an alarm is initiated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe value of the fixed resistor is selected to set the detector into alarm state at a specified fixed temperature.The detector signals an alarm state by switching an alarm latch on, increasing the current drawn from the supply from about 50µA to a maximum of about 75mA. This fall in the impedance of the detector is recognised by the control panel as an alarm signal.The alarm current also illuminates the detector integral LED. A remote indicator connected between the L1 IN terminal and the -R terminal will have a voltage equal to the supply voltage less 1 volt across it and so will illuminate.To ensure correct operation of the detector the control panel must be arranged to supply a maximum of 33 volts DC and a minimum of 9 volts DC in normal operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe supply may fall to 6 volts DC in alarm conditions if a supply current of at least 10mA is available at this voltage. To ensure effective illumination of the integral LED and any remote indicator, the supply to the detector should exceed 12 volts.To restore the detector to quiescent condition, it is necessary to restore a normal temperature level and interrupt the electrical supply to the detector for a minimum of one second.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan be used for applications where smoke detectors are unsuitable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for environments that are dirty or smoky under natural conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWide operating voltage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are matching this to an existing installation, work from the 55000-136APO part number rather than the description.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"USE_EXISTING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57558648947061,"sku":"55000-136APO","price":14.24,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0050\/1216\/0612\/files\/55000-136APO.jpg?v=1788880363","url":"https:\/\/wmestore.co.uk\/products\/apollo-fire-temperature-sensor-55000-136apo","provider":"WME","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
