Detect-a-fire n-162 24v 100ma

What is the Detect-A-Fire N-162 24V 100mA?

The Detect-A-Fire Model N-162 is an electrically supervised fire detector that senses abnormal heat levels and initiates alarms or fire suppression systems. Operating on 24V, 100mA, it provides stable performance for a wide range of fire protection systems.

Since this smoke detector does not depend on the visibility of smoke or flame but on the attainment of a certain temperature rating, it should be installed in places where smoke detectors are not effective. Its compact design and solid construction fitted with a quick-response mechanism make the device popular in heavy and demanding industrial surroundings.

Key Features of Detect-A-Fire N-162

1. Heat-Responsive Design

Activating at its factory preset detection point when temperature rises, the device does not suffer variation in fire detection even when dust or smoke levels are present.

2. Operates at 24V, 100mA

Optimized for integration with standard industrial fire panels and suppression systems. Its power specifications ensure stable, low-maintenance operation.

3. Dual Function: Alarm and Suppression

Detect-A-Fire devices can activate both:

• Fire alarm systems, and
• Automatic extinguishing systems, such as CO₂ or clean agents.

4. Strong and Durable Construction

Engineered for industrial-grade use, the detector withstands:

• Vibration
• Moisture
• Harsh temperatures
• Chemical exposure depending on installation

5. Temperature detection is fast and accurate.

Designed to respond faster against abnormal heat levels, such as reducing detection delays and enhancing safety.

6. Easy Installation and Integration

Standard mounting mechanism and electrical compatibility allow for quick installation in new or existing fire protection systems.

Why select the Detect-A-Fire N-162?

1. Proven Reliability

Traditional Detect-A-Fire devices have been installed around the world for decades because of their performance stability and consistent activation.

2. Suitable for Harsh Environments

Unlike smoke detectors, the N-162 can successfully work in:

• Dusty areas
• High-humidity areas
• Industrial settings

3. Fewer False Alarms

State-of-the-art heat-sensing technology ensures that alarms are only triggered when there are actual dangerous temperature levels.

4. Long Service Life

The strong construction and few moving parts provide for longer product life and lower maintenance effort.

5. Compatible with numerous fire protection systems

It easily integrates with:

• Alarm panels
• Automatic extinguishing systems
• Monitoring consoles

6. Cost-Effective Fire Detection

Due to the relatively low installation and maintenance costs, the N-162 has become a reliable choice for fire protection in industrial and marine facilities.
