Kidde - Edwards 302-ET-194 Heat Detector 194 Degrees

Product Description

The KIDDE - EDWARDS 302-ET-194 is a fixed-temperature heat detector rated for activation at 194 degrees F. Heat detectors are life-safety devices used in fire alarm systems to trigger an alarm signal when ambient temperature reaches a set threshold. Unlike smoke detectors, heat detectors are suited for environments where smoke, dust, or steam would cause nuisance trips. This unit is sold individually and is designed for integration into addressable or conventional fire alarm control panels. Installation is performed by licensed fire alarm technicians in compliance with NFPA 72 and local authority having jurisdiction requirements.

The 302-ET-194 is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications where a fixed-temperature thermal detector is required. Typical install locations include kitchens, garages, attics, mechanical rooms, and other areas where heat detection is preferred over smoke detection. The 194 degrees F rating places this unit in a standard fixed-temperature class suitable for most ambient-temperature environments where normal conditions stay well below the activation threshold.

Key Features

• Fixed-temperature activation at 194 degrees F for reliable, threshold-based heat detection
• Thermal detector class suited for dusty, steamy, or smoky environments where smoke detectors are impractical
• Single-unit packaging for straightforward replacement or new installation
• Designed for integration with compatible fire alarm control panel wiring circuits

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation thermal detector for use with compatible fire alarm control panels accepting conventional or addressable heat detector inputs. Consult the panel manufacturer specifications and NFPA 72 guidelines to confirm circuit compatibility before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a qualified fire alarm technician holding applicable state or local licensing, in accordance with NFPA 72 and local fire codes. De-energize the fire alarm circuit at the control panel before removing or installing any detector. Mount the detector at the appropriate spacing per NFPA 72 Chapter 17 heat detector placement guidelines. Do not paint, coat, or obstruct the detector housing after installation, as this may impair thermal response.
