Fenwal 12-E28020-003-05 Detector
The Fenwal 12-E28020-003-05 is a high-precision Detect-A-Fire thermal detector designed for rigorous industrial fire protection. Engineered for vertical mount applications, this rate-compensated sensor functions as an Open on Rise switch, activating when temperatures exceed the 225 degrees F set point. Constructed with a 300 Stainless Steel shell and a coupling 300 Stainless Steel mounting head, it provides exceptional corrosion resistance and durability in harsh environments. The unit features white color coding for quick field identification and operates with a strict tolerance of +7 degrees F / -8 degrees F. Unlike standard fixed temperature detectors, the Fenwal DETECT-A-FIRE utilizes rate compensation to eliminate thermal lag, ensuring the internal contacts trigger accurately regardless of how fast the ambient temperature increases. This intrinsically safe fire alarm component is essential for HVACR systems requiring high-temperature fire detection and reliable vertical orientation sensors.
Key Benefits
- Rate-Compensated Accuracy: Eliminates thermal lag by reacting to the rate of temperature rise, ensuring 225°F actuation is precise.
- Rugged Construction: Features a 300 Stainless Steel shell for superior protection against environmental degradation.
- Vertical Mounting: Optimized for overhead installations where vertical mount fire detectors are required for code compliance.
- Clear Identification: White color coding allows technicians to verify the temperature rating instantly during maintenance or inspection.
- Extreme Reliability: The Open on Rise configuration ensures dependable circuit interruption for fire suppression system triggers.
Common Questions
What is the advantage of a rate-compensated detector over a fixed-temperature sensor?
Standard fixed-temperature units often suffer from thermal lag, meaning the air must be hotter than the set point before the sensor trips. The Fenwal 12-E28020-003-05 uses rate compensation to track the heat increase, triggering exactly at 225 degrees F regardless of the fire's growth rate.
Can this Fenwal detector be used in corrosive environments?
Yes, the 300 series stainless steel head and shell provide excellent resistance to oxidation and chemical exposure, making it suitable for industrial HVACR and mechanical rooms.
How do I confirm the temperature rating in the field?
This specific model utilizes white color coding on the unit, which signifies the 225°F set point, allowing for easy visual verification without removing the device.
