Potter Electric Signal Co. Us CF-200CW Fixed Heat Detector

Product Description

The POTTER ELECTRIC SIGNAL CO. US CF-200CW is a fixed-temperature, conventional heat detector rated at 200 degrees F. It is designed for use in fire alarm and life safety systems where rapid, reliable detection of high ambient temperatures is required. The unit operates on a normally closed (N/C) contact configuration, which opens upon reaching the fixed activation threshold. Finished in white, it is suited for surface-mounted ceiling installation in residential, commercial, and light industrial environments. Licensed fire alarm technicians and system integrators are the primary installers of this device.

This detector is used in conventional fire alarm panel systems where zone-based heat detection is preferred over smoke detection — typically in areas such as kitchens, garages, attics, boiler rooms, and laundry spaces where smoke detectors are prone to nuisance alarms. The CF-200CW activates at a fixed 200 degrees F threshold and does not reset automatically, making it a one-time-use detection device that must be replaced after activation. It is sold as a single unit.

Key Features

• Fixed activation threshold of 200 degrees F for consistent, predictable response
• Normally closed (N/C) contact configuration compatible with conventional fire alarm panels
• White finish integrates with standard ceiling surfaces
• Conventional zone wiring support for straightforward panel integration
• Single-unit packaging for replacement or new installation use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install component for conventional fire alarm systems requiring fixed-temperature heat detection at 200 degrees F with normally closed contact output.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed fire alarm technician in accordance with NFPA 72 and applicable local codes. De-energize and place the fire alarm panel in test mode before connecting or replacing any detector on the circuit. The CF-200CW is a non-resettable fixed-temperature device and must be replaced — not reset — following any activation. Confirm conductor polarity and zone continuity after installation before returning the panel to normal operation.
