5251BPI Detector

Fixed Heat

The 5251BPI is an AS 7240.5:2018 Class A2 point-type heat detector with fixed temperature threshold. Available in White (5251BPI-W) and Ivory (5251BPI-IV).

These analogue addressable point-type heat detectors are available in two types: fixed (static) alarm threshold; or rate-of-rise (ROR) alarm threshold. There are indoor and weatherproof variants of each type.

Both rate-of-rise and fixed (static) threshold types measure the temperature in their surroundings, and continually report this temperature measurement to the fire panel. The panel will initiate an alarm condition if the temperature measurement goes above the alarm threshold, which is defined in the panel configuration.

Rate-of-rise heat detectors also signal an alarm condition to the panel if the temperature increases rapidly. The rate of rise alarm is pre-configured in the detector. The fire panel will automatically initiate an alarm condition if it receives a rate-of-rise alarm from the detector.

Heat detector addresses are easily configured during installation, allowing the fire panel to identify the exact location of the source of an alarm.

The fire panel may be configured to briefly light up the LEDs (“blink”) when each detector is polled.
