Potter Electric Signal Co. Us PAD200-PCHD Co Heat Detector

Product Description

The POTTER ELECTRIC SIGNAL CO. US PAD200-PCHD is a combination photoelectric smoke, carbon monoxide, and heat detector designed for life-safety applications in residential and commercial installations. This multi-sensor device integrates three detection technologies into a single unit, reducing the number of devices required while providing layered protection against smoke, CO, and elevated temperatures. It is sold as a single unit and is typically installed by licensed electricians or life-safety system technicians as part of a fire and CO detection network.

The PAD200-PCHD is suited for use in buildings where code requires combined smoke, carbon monoxide, and heat detection coverage. Typical installations include apartments, hotels, offices, and other occupied structures where a single multi-sensor device simplifies wiring runs and device counts. Its combined detection capability makes it a practical choice for new construction and retrofit projects requiring compliant life-safety coverage.

Key Features

• Combines photoelectric smoke detection, carbon monoxide detection, and heat sensing in one unit
• Sold individually as a single unit (EA), simplifying procurement for exact-count installations
• Suitable for both residential and commercial life-safety applications
• Multi-sensor design reduces total device count on a project
• Designed for integration into structured detection and alarm systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation detector for compatible fire and life-safety alarm panels and systems. Consult the manufacturer product data sheet and panel compatibility documentation before installation to confirm system compatibility.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or certified fire-alarm technician in accordance with NFPA 72 and all applicable local codes. Disconnect and lock out power to the alarm circuit before removing an existing detector or connecting the new device. Follow the manufacturer wiring diagram and mounting instructions for proper base connection and detector orientation. Do not install in areas subject to excessive dust, humidity, or airflow that could impair sensor performance.
