31、FROM UL INTRODUCTION 1 Scope 1.1 These requirements cover heat detectors for re protective signaling systems intended to be installed in ordinary indoor and outdoor locations in accordance with the Standard for Automatic Fire Detectors, NFPA 72E. 1.2 Heat detectors covered by these requirements empl
32、oy either normally open contacts or normally closed contacts, provide an electronic signal, or consist of a heat-sensitive cable. The requirements do not cover heat detectors for journal-alarm or unit-alarm devices. 1.3 Deleted October 3, 2002 2 General 2.1 Components 2.1.1 Except as indicated in 2.
33、1.2, a component of a product covered by this standard shall comply with the requirements for that component. See Appendix A for a list of standards covering components generally used in the products covered by this standard. 2.1.2 A component is not required to comply with a specic requirement that
34、: a) Involves a feature or characteristic not required in the application of the component in the product covered by this standard, or b) Is superseded by a requirement in this standard. 2.1.3 A component shall be used in accordance with its rating established for the intended conditions of use. 2.1
35、.4 Specic components are incomplete in construction features or restricted in performance capabilities. Such components are intended for use only under limited conditions, such as certain temperatures not exceeding specied limits, and shall be used only under those specic conditions. OCTOBER 3, 2002

37、proximate information. 2.3 Undated references 2.3.1 Any undated reference to a code or standard appearing in the requirements of this standard shall be interpreted as referring to the latest edition of that code or standard. 3 Glossary 3.1 For the purpose of this standard the following denitions app
38、ly. Heat detectors may combine two or more of the following characteristics in one device, such as a xed-temperature, a spot-type capable of repeated operation, or a rate-of-rise type also employing a xed-temperature element. 3.2 COMPONENT, LIMITED-LIFE A component that is expected to fail and be pe
39、riodically replaced and the failure of which is supervised, if failure of the component affects the intended operation, sensitivity, or both. Typical examples of such components include incandescent lamps, electronic tube heaters, and functional heating elements. 3.3 COMPONENT, RELIABLE An electrica
40、l component that is not expected to fail or be periodically replaced and is not supervised. A reliable component shall have a predicted failure rate of 2.5 or fewer failures per million hours as determined for a Ground Fixed (GF) environment by MIL-HDBK 217B, or equivalent (see Supplement SA). 3.4 E
41、LECTRONIC-TYPE HEAT DETECTOR A device that uses electronic circuitry to respond to an abnormal high temperature or rate of temperature rise. 3.5 FIXED-TEMPERATURE TYPE HEAT DETECTOR A device that will respond when its operating element becomes heated to a predetermined level. The temperature of the
42、air surrounding the device at the moment of operation will vary, depending on the rate at which the temperature is rising. 3.6 HEAT DETECTOR A device that detects an abnormal high temperature or rate of temperature rise. 3.7 HEAT-SENSITIVE CABLE A line-type device whose sensitive element comprises t
43、wo current- carrying wires held separated by a heat-sensitive insulation that softens at the rated temperature, thus allowing the wires to make electrical contact. 3.8 LINE-TYPE HEAT DETECTOR A device in which detection is continuous along a path. 3.9 NONRESTORABLE HEAT DETECTOR A device whose sensi
44、ng element is intended to be destroyed by the process of detecting a re. 3.10 RATE-COMPENSATION HEAT DETECTOR A device that will respond when the temperature of the surrounding air reaches the predetermined level, regardless of the rate of temperature rise. 3.11 RATE-OF-RISE HEAT DETECTOR A device t
45、hat will respond when the temperature rises at a rate exceeding a predetermined amount. 3.12 RESTORABLE HEAT DETECTOR A device whose sensing element is not destroyed during intended service by the processes of detecting a re. Restoration may be manual or automatic. OCTOBER 3, 2002 HEAT DETECTORS FOR
