Hochiki Conventional Heat Detector, Rate of Rise and 60°C Fixed Temperature, White DCD-AE3(WHT)
About this product
The Hochiki DCD-AE3(WHT) is a conventional heat detector for rooms with medium ambient temperatures, such as drying rooms. It combines a rate of rise response with a 60 °C fixed temperature element, in a white case. It runs on 9.5 – 30 V dc and has a remote indicator output.
Key features
- Responds to a fast rise or a set limit – rate of rise detection with a 60 °C fixed temperature element
- Steady, accurate response – a thermistor and linearising circuit give electronic linear heat detection
- Easy to check from any angle – twin fire LEDs allow 360° viewing
- Shows an alarm elsewhere – a third terminal drives a remote indicator, 20 mA (max)
- Fits most conventional systems – wide 9.5 – 30 V dc operating range
- Independently approved – EN54 Class A1 & A1R, LPCB and VdS (G204044)
- Clean white finish – white polycarbonate case
For installers
- Power: 9.5 – 30 V dc. Quiescent current 35 µA (typ), maximum current in alarm 40 mA (typ).
- Mounting: onto a compatible base, fixing centres 48 ~ 74 mm. Detector 76 g, 100 mm diameter, 38 mm high.
- Cabling: three terminals, the third for a remote indicator with 20 mA (max) / 9.5-14 mA (typ) drive.

Frequently asked questions
Does this detector sense smoke?
No. It detects changes in temperature only and cannot detect smoke.
At what temperature does it go into alarm?
Its fixed temperature element is set at 60 °C. The rate of rise response can trigger earlier if the temperature climbs quickly.
Which bases does it fit?
The YBN-R/6, YBN-R/6SK, YBO-R/6R, YBO-R/6RS, YBO-R/6RN and YBO-R/6PA. Base fixing centres are 48 ~ 74 mm.
Can it be used outdoors?
No. It is designed for indoor use only, and has an IP63 rating.
How should it be tested?
With test equipment that exceeds the detection threshold, never a naked flame or open fire. Hochiki recommend maintenance at least once a year where no standard sets the period.
Can it go on an intruder alarm system?
Yes, it can. Its 9.5 - 30V range allows installation within both fire and security systems.
