  The announcer is intended for continuous round-the-clock work in the closed heated rooms.
  The detector is designed to work together with control panels (PCB) that receive a short circuit signal (SHPS) and have a loop of direct or alternating current.
  The detector is not intended for use in chemically aggressive environments.
  The detector design is ordinary in accordance with GOST 12997-84. Type of climatic modification - UHL category 3.1 according to GOST 15150-69 for operation in the temperature range from 0ºС to + 50ºС and relative humidity up to 95% at a temperature of + 35ºС.

Key Specifications

  • Nominal value of the detector operating temperature + 70ºС. The deviation of the detector temperature from the nominal value is not more than 5%.
  • The inertia of the detector’s response (the time the medium temperature rises from + 25С to the moment the detector is triggered) at a temperature rise rate of 30 ° C / min is within 39 ... 162 sec. The inertia of the detector operation at a temperature rise rate of 3 ° C / min is within 433 ... 1120 sec.
  • The detector is powered by ShPS directly from the control panel. Supply voltage range from 10 to 25 V.
  • Current consumption in standby mode is not more than 50 μA.
  • Protected surface of at least 25 sq.m.
  • Indication of standby and alarm modes.
Electronic control circuit. The detector periodically measures the ambient temperature and, when the threshold temperature is reached, it generates an alarm notification. For ease of monitoring the detector, there is a red LED. In standby mode, the indicator gives brief flashes at intervals of 8 s. In alarm mode, the indicator lights up constantly, which makes it easy to detect a triggered detector. The detector receives power directly through the alarm loop, which eliminates the need for additional wires of the power line. The detector design ensures its connection to the alarm loop without observing polarity. The aesthetic design of the detector housing fits into the interior of any premises.

Structurally, the detector is made in a plastic case, consisting of a base and a decorative protective cover with a protruding trellised compartment. On the base there are two screw terminals for connecting the detector to the ShPS line and an electronic unit with a heat-sensitive element. At the edges of the decorative cover there are two mounting holes for mounting the detector on the protected object.
  The circuit includes a diode bridge, a relaxation oscillator, a threshold electronic self-locking key, a temperature-sensitive element and an LED indicator.
  The ambient temperature is measured by the detector discretely, for short measuring pulses, followed by a period of several seconds. Each measurement pulse causes a short flash of the LED. When the threshold temperature of the medium is reached, a large-amplitude pulse transfers the key to a stable closed state. The current of the key through the LED and the diode bridge shorts the ШПС, which causes a continuous glow of the LED and the operation of the control panel.

PASSPORT

Maximum thermal fire detectors FE 101-1A-A1, IP101-1A-A3 (hereinafter - the detectors) are designed to work as part of systems automatic installations fire extinguishing and fire alarms. According to the temperature and time of operation, the IP 101-1A-A1 and IP 101-1A-A3 detectors relate to classes A1 and A3 of NPB 85-2000, respectively. The detectors are designed for continuous round-the-clock operation in closed heated rooms together with reception and control devices having a fire alarm loop (ШПС) of direct or alternating current. The polarity of connecting the detector to the ShPS can be arbitrary. IP 101-1A-A1 detectors give a “Fire” signal to the alarm loop by increasing the current consumption when the ambient temperature exceeds a set threshold value.
The detector has an LED indication of the standby mode and the "Fire" mode. The detector has a microprocessor analysis of the temperature sensor signal, which allows to achieve high accuracy and low response inertia over the entire range of temperature rise rates.
The detector provides for the possibility of connecting Granit, Karat, UOTS-1-1A, and Quartz devices of the control and security fire-fighting devices (ППКОП) without the use of external limiting resistors. An external resistor connected to an additional terminal block connector can be used to incorporate other control panels in the ShPS.
IP 101-1A-A1 detector is not intended   for use in chemically aggressive environments.
The detector version is ordinary in accordance with GOST 12997-84 for operation in the temperature range from minus 10 С to + 76 С and relative air humidity up to 93% at a temperature of + 40 С. The degree of protection of the detector is IP30 sheath according to GOST 14254-96.

Device and principle of operation

Structurally, the detectors are made in a plastic case, consisting of a base and a decorative protective cover with a protruding trellised compartment. On the base there are three screw terminals for connecting the detector to the ShPS line and installing, if necessary, an additional resistor. There are two mounting holes on the edges of the decorative cover for
mounting the detector on the protected object. In standby mode, the ambient temperature is measured by the detector discretely, for short time intervals, followed by a period of 6 ... 8 seconds. Each measurement is accompanied by a short flash of a red LED. When the threshold value of the medium temperature is reached, the detector switches to the “Fire” mode. In this mode, the residual voltage (between terminals 1 and 2) at a current of up to 20 mA does not exceed 8.5 V. The LED indicator in
broadcasters IP 101-1A-A1 and IP101-1A-A3 give double and triple flashes, respectively, with a frequency of 1 Hz.
Detectors maintain the “Fire” status after the end of exposure to elevated temperature. The detector enters the standby mode of operation when the ShPS voltage is turned off for at least 2 seconds.

Any room - office, shop, apartment or warehouse, is constantly exposed to the risk of fire in it. It can be caused by anything - a shorted electrical wiring, a malfunction of electrical appliances, spontaneous combustion of a material, or a human factor. Any property owner wants to save his property from destruction. For organizations of a certain type of activity, the presence of a fire alarm is a prerequisite for opening an enterprise and carrying out work. A quite natural question arises: how to equip fire alarm   at the facility inexpensively, reliably and in accordance with existing requirements. The answer to this question may be the installation of the IP 101-1A detector. This device combines reliability, simplicity and affordability.

Purpose and scope

Fire detectors IP 101-1A-A3 and IP 101-1A-A1 are designed to detect signs of fire in heated warm rooms. An alarm occurs when the temperature rises above the threshold set by the sensor.
