Wireless ceiling-mounted thermal
detector GC 173
3. 1
Use
The GC 173 is a wireless ceiling-mounted thermal detector for
use in the GEZE hold-open system FA GC 150 or FA GC 160.
Signal transfer from the detector takes place wirelessly.
A wireless module GC 171 is essential for use of the
wireless ceiling-mounted thermal detector GC 173.
Thermal detectors measure the ambient temperature and
respond if the temperature exceeds a certain maximum
value or increases quickly within a certain time.
Usually, smoke and fire gases spread quickly when a fire
breaks out. It is only later that the temperature increases.
As far as possible, smoke detectors should generally be
used for hold-open systems. In areas where disruption such
as steam, dust, condensation or operation-related smoke
development (workshops, kitchens) occurs, it may, however,
be sensible to use thermal detectors rather than smoke
detectors.
Smoke detectors must be used for hold-
