Analog Heat Detector | FAH-440 | BOSCH

• Selectable Fixed Temperature threshold
• Rate-of-Rise feature can be switched on or off
• Selectable base locking mechanism prevents malicious removal of the detector

The FAH‐440 Analog Heat Detector is an open-area fire detector that works with the FPA‐1000 Analog
Addressable Fire Panels. Use it with the FAA‐440 family of bases in indoor dry environments with high ambient temperatures where smoke detectors might not be suitable because of steam or fumes; such as kitchens, boiler rooms, or drying rooms.possible to turn on or off operation of the polling indicator. In the event of an alarm condition, the detector LED will always show a steady red light.

Modular Construction
The detector is part of a two‐piece modular design for detector assemblies. A detector attaches to a base in the FAA‐440 Analog Standard Base or Analog Isolator Base family. The base’s security locking tab prevents any unauthorized detector removal from the base.

Selectable Threshold Setting
The detector has an alarm threshold temperature range of +135°F to +194°F (+57°C to +90°C) with 17 possible settings. The rate-of-rise feature can be switched on or off.

Installation/configuration notes

Compatible Products
The following products are compatible with the FAH‐440 Analog Heat Detector:

Mounting Considerations

Detectors are typically mounted on the ceiling. However, if detectors are mounted on a wall, they
must be at least 4 in. (10.2 cm), but no more than 12 in. (30.5 cm), below the ceiling. When other
devices containing magnets or producing magnetic fields (for example, loudspeakers) are present in the area, the base must be at least 1 ft (30 cm) from these devices to prevent unwanted activation of the test switch.

For UL Listing requirements, the spacing between heat detectors should be no more than 50 ft (15.24 m).

Wiring Considerations

The control panel communicates to the detectors via the analog addressable loop (SLC), which allows the use of standard non‐twisted, non‐shielded wiring.

Remote Indicator
If a remote indicator is used in the circuit, it must be no more than 10 ft (3 m) from the base.
