Longhorn Heat Detector Network Alarm

The Longhorn Heat Detector Network Alarm LH-201 is a device specifically designed for use in fire alarm networks, particularly in commercial, industrial, and residential use. It’s particularly designed to detect any sign of heat, producing an alarm when a temperature level is attained, a level that can actually be programmed in advance. It’s used in a general network of alarm devices for fires, most times in larger ones for added observation and security.

Here’s a complete rundown of its key features, specs, and capabilities:

1. Overall Purpose:
The LH-201 Heat Detector is designed for specific use in detecting excessive temperature rise in a localized zone. It is in constant observation of ambient temperature and raises an alarm when temperature level reaches a predetermined level, indicative of a case of impending fires.
The device is temperature-sensitive and not smoke and gas, and can, therefore, be mounted in areas including kitchens, boiler rooms, and high-smoke, smoke, and humidity environments, in which smoke detectors could not be ideal.

2. Networking Skill:
The LH-201 is part of a networked alarm system for fires. What that means is that it can be networked with other protective gear for fires, including smoke detectors, alarm panels, and other heat detectors, and monitored and operated centrally.
Multi-detector networks enable several detectors to report to a single, centrally located control unit, offering real-time information, status reporting, and a coordinated alarm when a problem arises.

3. Temperature Detection and Threshold:
The alarm is generally designed to act when a preset temperature, most often between 57°C and 70°C (135°F and 158°F), is reached in the surrounding temperature, but adjustable types can vary.
Either can be constructed in a form for a fixed temperature alarm, which will sound when a specific temperature is attained, and a form for a rate-of-rise alarm, which will sound when a temperature rise over a short interval is too high.

4. Notification and Alarm:
Once temperature level is over a critical level, the LH-201 will produce an audible alarm and even a flashing LED alarm, can transmit a message to a central alarm controlling unit, and can report to a monitor system.
The consolidated system will most often transmit warnings to responsible persons or observation posts, allowing for a quick reaction.

5. Power and Connectivity:
The LH-201 operates in general with a 12V DC or 24V DC source, with model and system requirements specifying the voltage level in detail.
Both its communications and its power can regularly be looped into the network, and in such a configuration, it remains in continuous contact with the central system.
The alarm can have provisions for battery backup during a failure in mains power, allowing for continuous function in a state of emergency.

6. Design and Mounting:
The detector is housed in a durable, compact case, for installation in a ceiling or a wall, and is engineered to integrate with a building’s interior but with high performance in capabilities.
The unit is equipped with a conventional screw-mount or snap-on installation, and it can be installed and replaced with ease.

7. Sensitivity and Coverage Area:
The detector’s sensitivity for LH-201 is designed to detect effectively and reject spurious temperature rise not representing a fire.
It is equipped with a default range of cover in relation to its installation site and settings, offering full-fledged monitoring for the target room.

8. LED Indicator:
The temperature alarm can have an LED state reflection with its current state. It can feature:
Green: All working
Red/Flashing: Signals alarm started or fault state
Yellow: In testing or maintenance state

9. Uses:
Industrial and Commercial Environments: Best for use in high temperature environment spaces, such as electrical closets, machine shops, server closets, and kitchens.
Domestic Application: Can be installed in residential environments, specifically in areas such as attics, garages, and kitchens, in which traditional smoke alarm smoke detectors could not work effectively.
Critical Installations: Server farms, warehouses, generating stations, and any installation in which early alarm for a fire is critical.

10. Compliance and Standards:
The LH-201 thermal alarm device complies with a variety of a region’s fire protection and building codes, including compliance with markings such as UL (Underwriters Laboratories) or CE markings for alarm devices for fires.
It is designed in a general manner for compliance with residential, commercial, and industrial installation requirements and specifications.

11. Testing and maintenance:
Periodical testing and maintenance must be performed in order to maintain the dependability of the LH-201. This can involve inspecting its physical state, checking for correct temperature range, and testing its network communications.
The device can have an inbuilt self-test for routine testing, but can, in alternative, be checked with a thermal test.

The Longhorn Heat Detector Network Alarm LH-201 is an integral part of a general system for safeguarding against fires, issuing early warnings of impending danger through temperature fluctuations. With its integration in a networked alarm system, overall supervision is enhanced, and it is ideal for use in large commercial and industrial settings where rapid, reliable fire detection is a must. With its application, one can have confidence knowing a quick temperature and rise in temperature in a case of a fire will not escape undetected and will have immediate attention drawn to it.
