Potter Electric 1000141 Heat Detector 200 Degrees F

Product Description

The POTTER ELECTRIC SIGNAL CO. US 1000141 is a fixed-temperature heat detector designed to trigger an alarm when ambient temperature reaches 200 degrees F. Thermal detectors of this type are used in fire detection systems where smoke detectors are not suitable, such as in dusty, humid, or contaminated environments. The unit is sold individually and is intended for installation by licensed fire alarm technicians or qualified electricians familiar with NFPA 72 requirements.

This heat detector is suited for residential and light commercial fire detection applications where a fixed-temperature thermal sensing device is required. Typical installation locations include attics, garages, boiler rooms, kitchens, and other areas with airborne particles or conditions that would cause nuisance alarms with photoelectric or ionization smoke detectors. It connects into a fire alarm control panel zone as part of a supervised detection circuit.

Key Features

• Fixed-temperature activation at 200 degrees F
• Designed for environments unsuitable for smoke detectors
• Sold as a single unit for zone-level replacement or new installation
• Thermal detector category — no moving parts or optical sensing elements

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation thermal detector for use in standard fire alarm detection circuits. Consult the fire alarm control panel documentation to confirm zone compatibility before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed fire alarm technician or electrician in accordance with NFPA 72 and any applicable local fire codes. Disconnect and lock out power to the fire alarm control panel zone before handling detector wiring. Do not install in locations where ambient temperature may regularly approach or exceed the rated activation threshold, as nuisance trips or detector damage can result.
