General Description
The model 5551 is a fixed temperature intelligent sensor
utilizing a state-of-the-art dual thermistor sensing circuit
for fast response. These sensors are designed to provide
open area protection with 50 foot spacing capability, and
are to be used with compatible control panels only. (For in-
stallation in Canada, refer to ULC-S530-1978.)
Two LEDs on each sensor light to provide 360° visibility of
the sensor indication. The LEDs can be latched ON by code
command from the panel for an alarm indication. The
LEDs can also be unlatched to the normal condition by
code command. Remote LED annunciator capability is
available as an optional accessory (Part No. RA400).
