System Sensor 5600 Series Heat Detectors - Install Guide Dated 2009

Before Installing
This detector must be installed in compliance with
the control panel installation manual and meet the
requirements of NFPA 72, and/or the local authority
having jurisdiction.
Read this manual carefully before using the detec-
tor. This manual should be left with the owner/user
of this equipment.
General Description
The 5600 series mechanical heat detector is in-
tended for use in property protection applications,
or for non-life-safety installations where smoke de-
tection is not practical or appropriate.
W
ARNING
For life-safety installations, smoke detectors must
be used, in lieu of, or in addition to mechanical heat
detectors.
The 5600 series consists of both single- and dual-
circuit heat detectors featuring fixed temperature
thermal sensors or combination fixed temperature/
rate-of-rise sensors, with temperature ratings of 135ºF
(57ºC) or 194ºF (90ºC).

Mechanical Heat Detector
Single Circuit: 5601P, 5602, 5603, 5604
Dual Circuit: 5621, 5622, 5623, 5624
Markings on the exterior of the detector indicate the
specific activation method and temperature rating. All
models are identified as either 135ºF/57ºC or 194ºF/
90ºC. Models equipped with combination fixed tem
-
perature/rate-of-rise sensors are marked FX/ROR.
Fixed temperature only models are marked FX.
Non-Resettable Fixed Temperature Sensor
The fixed temperature element reacts to heat by re-
sponding to a specific temperature setting (135ºF
or 194ºF). The detection method is based on the
spring action of a metal contact, held to the metal
chamber by a fusible alloy. When the temperature
reaches the alloy’s melting point, the metal contact
will depress the diaphragm, causing the electrical
contact to close the circuit. The circular external
heat collector is released from the detector to visu-
ally indicate that the detector has been activated.
NOTE:
5600 series Fixed Temperature models (5603,
5604, 5623, and 5624) are non-resettable, and can-
not be tested.

CAUTION
To prevent the activation of the fixed temperature element, the shipping and storage temperature must not
exceed 122°F (50°C).
I56-2175-003R Self-Restoring Rate-of-Rise (ROR) Sensor
The rate-of-rise element responds to a rapid rise of
temperature, approximately 15ºF (8.3ºC) per min-
ute. As the temperature rises, the air within the
sealed chamber expands. Should the chamber air
expand faster than it can escape through the cali-
brated vent, the diaphragm is depressed, and the
electrical contact closes the circuit.
NOTE:
Only the ROR element of 5600 series com-
bination fixed temperature/ROR models (5601P,
5602, 5621, and 5622) are self-restoring, and may be
tested using a hair dryer or heat gun. When testing
the ROR element, to prevent the activation of the
fixed temperature element, the heat source must not
exceed the fixed temperature rating of the detector.
Mounting Bracket
All 5600 series detectors are equipped with a mount

Wiring Installation Guidelines
All wiring must be installed in compliance with the
National Electrical Code, applicable state and local
codes, and any special requirements of the local
Authority Having Jurisdiction. Proper wire gauges
should be used. The conductors used to connect
heat detectors to the alarm control panel and ac-
cessory devices should be color-coded to reduce the

likelihood of wiring errors. Improper connections
can prevent a system from responding properly in
the event of a fire.
The non-polarized screw terminals on the back of
the detector will accept 14–22 AWG wire. For best
system performance, all wiring should be installed
in separate grounded conduit; do not mix fire alarm
system wiring in the same conduit as any other
electrical wiring. Twisted pair may be used to pro-
vide additional protection against extraneous elec-
trical interference.
Wire connections are made by stripping approxi-

Installation
Remove power from the alarm control unit or initi-
ating device circuits before installing detectors.
1.

Detach the detector from the mounting bracket by
rotating the detector 1⁄4 turn counter-clockwise.
2.
Orient the mounting bracket properly for either a
flush- or surface-mount installation (Figure 2).
3.
Select the pair of mounting holes suitable for the
junction box, (Figure 1) and secure the bracket
to the box.
4.
Connect the wires to the detector per Figure 3 or
Figure 4, as applicable.
5.
Place the detector onto the mounting bracket by
rotating clockwise. The detector will lock into
place with a “click”.
6.
After all detectors have been installed, apply
power to the alarm control unit.
7.
Test each detector as described in Testing.
8.
Reset all the detectors at the alarm control unit.
9.

Notify the proper authorities that the system is
in operation.

Testing/Maintenance
The rate-of-rise mechanism may be subject to re-
duced sensitivity over time. Annual testing of the
rate-of-rise operation is therefore recommended.
Before testing, notify the proper authorities that
maintenance is being performed and the system will
be temporarily out of service. Disable the zone or
system undergoing maintenance to prevent any un-
wanted alarms.
Only the ROR element of 5600 series combination
fixed temperature/ROR models (5601P, 5602, 5621,
and 5622) are self-restoring, and may be tested us-
ing a hair dryer or heat gun.
W
ARNING
When testing the ROR element, to prevent the ac-
tivation of the fixed temperature element, the heat
source must not exceed the fixed temperature rating
of the detector.
W
ARNING
5600 series fixed temperature models (5603, 5604,
5623, and 5624) are non-resettable, and cannot
be tested.
CAUTION
When using the RRS-MOD with model 2WTA-B, do
not mix the 2WTA-B with other model smoke de-
tectors and dry contact closure devices, including
mechanical heat detectors, manual pull stations and
waterflow switches. Such mixing can cause a direct
short on the auxiliary power terminals, damaging
the control panel’s internal circuitry and/or damage
devices connected to the initiating device circuit.
