Chemetron 501 Fire Systems Fire / Heat Detector 125VAC / 6-28VDC / 125/250VDC
Overview
Description
The Chemetron 501 Fire/Heat Detector is an industrial-grade thermal detection device designed to provide reliable fire protection by sensing abnormal temperature conditions. Engineered for use in fire alarm and safety systems, this detector operates across multiple voltage ranges including 125VAC, 6–28VDC, and 125/250VDC, making it highly versatile for integration into a wide range of control panels and alarm circuits. It functions as a heat-sensitive switch that activates upon detecting either a rapid rise in temperature or a fixed temperature threshold, closing the circuit to trigger alarms or safety responses. Built with durable materials and designed for dependable operation, it is suitable for harsh environments where consistent fire detection is critical.
