TEMPERATURE SETTING SELECTION
To avoid nuisance activations, Fenwal Controls strongly suggests selecting a D-A-F detector with a temperature setting a minimum of
100°F above the maximum ambient expected temperature.
DEVICE SELECTION
The table below shows three categories of fire detection devices and their relative response levels for reaction to three different rate-of-
rise conditions. Consult the AHJ for specific applications.
AGENCY LISTINGS
D-A-F detectors are UL and ULC listed and FM Approved as fire detection thermostats (close on temperature rise) and as releasing devices
(open on temperature rise).
NOTES:
• D-A-F detectors are temperature preset at the factory.
• For corrosive environments, care should be taken to protect the D-A-F detector to obtain optimal performance and maximum
life. Consult factory for fluorocarbon coating option.
• For field wiring requirements to connect to D-A-F, please refer to the installation instructions.
• Per UL521 requirements - low temperature exposure test is - 22°F (-30°C)
• D-A-F detectors are designed for long life expectancy, however due to various field conditions it is required that the detectors
be tested annually per NFPA guidelines or local fire codes.
• Replace D-A-F detector after any fire or heat related event, any mechanical damage, or after 10 years of continuous service.
• D-A-F detectors are CE Listed. The product family has been evaluated in accordance with IEC 60947-1 and IEC 60947-5- 1, and
is documented under Intertek Report No. 102294754 BOX-001 as an overheat detector. Detectors have a rated insulation and
impulse voltages of 1500 VAC.
