About this product

The Hochiki DCD-CE3(WHT) is a conventional combined rate of rise and fixed temperature heat detector in white. It is a rate of rise heat detector with a 90 °C fixed temperature element, using a thermistor and linearising circuit. A third terminal provides remote indicator output, and it works from 9.5 – 30 V dc.

Key features

  • Electronic linear heat detection – a thermistor and linearising circuit give an accurate linear response
  • Two ways to detect – rate of rise heat detection with a 90 °C fixed temperature element
  • Easy to see in alarm – twin fire LEDs allow 360° viewing
  • Remote indicator output – 20 mA (max) / 9.5-14 mA (typ) drive
  • Wide voltage range – 9.5 ~ 30 V dc
  • Full range of mounting bases – YBN-R6, YBN-R/6SK and YBO-R/6 bases
  • Approved by LPCB & VdS – Class C & CR to EN54:2000

For installers

  • Power: operating voltage 9.5 – 30 V dc; maximum current in alarm 40 mA.
  • Mounting: fits a compatible base with 48 ~ 74 mm fixing centres. 100 mm diameter, 38 mm high, 76 g.
  • Compatibility: compatible bases YBN-R6, YBN-R/6SK, YBO-R/6R, YBO-R/6RS, YBO-R/6RN and YBO-R/6PA, supported on the majority of conventional systems.
  • Cabling: a third terminal gives the remote indicator output, 20 mA (max) / 9.5-14 mA (typ).
  • Standards: approvals to (EN54:2000) Class C & CR, LPCB and VdS; IP63.

Frequently asked questions

What temperature does it alarm at?

It is a rate of rise heat detector, and its fixed temperature element also alarms at 90 °C.

Can it detect smoke?

No. The DCD range is used to detect conditions and changes in temperature and cannot detect smoke.

Which bases does it fit?

Compatible bases are YBN-R6, YBN-R/6SK, YBO-R/6R, YBO-R/6RS, YBO-R/6RN and YBO-R/6PA.

What voltage does it need?

9.5 – 30 V dc.

What colour is it?

White. The same detector is also sold in ivory under the code DCD-CE3.

Can it be fitted outdoors?

No. These detectors are designed for indoor use only.

Hochiki Conventional Rate of Rise Heat Detector, 90 °C Fixed Element, White DCD-CE3(WHT)

Overview

The DCD-CE3 suits use where medium ambient temperatures exist. It is supported by a wide range of bases for different applications, on the majority of conventional systems.

This is the white version, DCD-CE3(WHT), with a polycarbonate case.

How it works

  • Thermistor sensing: a thermistor is a component whose resistance changes with temperature. A linearising circuit turns that into an accurate linear response.
  • Rate of rise: the detector is a rate of rise heat detector and incorporates a 90 °C fixed temperature element.
  • Remote indicator: a third terminal provides remote indicator output.

Where to use it

These detectors are designed for indoor use only, within an operating temperature range of -10 °C to +50 °C and maximum humidity 95% RH non condensing (at 40 °C).

Check that the location of each detector has been planned to appropriate fire regulations or recommendations.

In most installations, heat detection is chosen only where smoke detection is unsuitable, because smoke usually gives an earlier warning.

What the figures mean in practice

  • Class C & CR: the heat detector class in the EN54:2000 approval.
  • IP63: the ingress protection rating of the case; the detector is still designed for indoor use only.
  • 40 mA in alarm: the maximum current in alarm. Check the panel or zone can supply it.

As a rule, the class letter sets the typical room temperature a heat detector suits, and the suffix shows how it responds: S for a static response that does not alarm below its set temperature, R for a rate of rise response.

Installing it

Fit the base first, then fit the detector head. The base fixing centres are 48 ~ 74 mm.

Remove the dust cover before the system goes live: the dust cover must be removed for the detector to operate. Detector operation should not be tested with a naked flame or open fire.

The detector can be locked onto its base by removing a plastic lug, and then needs a removal tool to take it off.

Planning your system

Choose a compatible base for each head, and a conventional fire panel for the zone.

Standards and ratings explained

  • EN54: the standard series for fire detection and fire alarm systems; this detector carries approvals to (EN54:2000) Class C & CR.
  • LPCB and VdS: the detector is approved by LPCB & VdS, two independent certification bodies; VdS reference G204045.
