GE Interlogix Learn Mode Rate-of-Rise Heat Sensor — Installation Instructions

Installation instructions for the GE Interlogix / ITI Learn Mode Rate-of-Rise Heat Sensor (models 60-460 and 60-752) — a wireless heat detector for property protection with a learn-mode transmitter.

Product Summary

The Learn Mode Rate-of-Rise Heat Sensor combines a Chemtron Model 601 detector and an ITI learn-mode wireless transmitter in one unit. A built-in thermostat trips the transmitter when the temperature at the sensor's location reaches about 135°F, or if the temperature rises 15°F or more per minute (since many fires cause a rapid temperature increase).

The sensor is powered by a single 9-volt battery (alkaline or lithium). The alkaline battery lasts 12–18 months; lithium lasts about twice as long. When battery voltage gets low, the sensor sends a low-battery signal to the panel, which activates sirens emitting trouble beeps to notify the customer.

Note: Heat sensors provide property protection. Reliance should not be placed only on heat detectors for life safety — where life safety is involved, smoke sensors must also be installed.

CAUTION

SX-V Special panels must have software version 8.0 or later installed for correct response from Learn Mode Rate-of-Rise Heat Sensors. Do not install these sensors if the panel uses an earlier software version. Call ITI Technical Services at 1-800-777-2624 for assistance.

Installation Guidelines

• Ceiling temperatures should not exceed 100°F under normal fluctuations.
• Mount the sensor in a central location of the area to be protected, either on the ceiling or on a wall.
• If mounting on a ceiling, the sensor must be at least 4 inches from any walls.
• If mounting on a wall, the top of the sensor must be within 4 to 6 inches of the ceiling.
• UL maximum spacing allowance is 50' x 50'. Refer to NFPA Standard 72 for application requirements.
• Do not mount close to devices that change temperature rapidly, such as ovens, heat vents, a furnace, or boilers.

Programming

The panel must learn the sensor's ID code to respond to its signals. For complete programming information, refer to the installation instructions for the specific control panel.

1. Separate the sensor from the base by twisting the sensor counter-clockwise and pulling it off. Set the base aside.
2. Place the panel in program mode.
3. Enter the LEARN SENSORS mode.
4. When prompted for a sensor group number, enter the number for the fire group.
5. Select the desired sensor number.
6. When prompted to trip the sensor, press and release the tamper switch on the sensor.
7. Exit program mode.

Testing

Before permanently securing the sensor, test it from the area where it will be located, using one of the two methods below.

CAUTION: The Learn Mode Rate-of-Rise Heat Sensor is a one-time device that prolonged heat can destroy. If the round disc on the sensor ever pops off, the sensor must be replaced.

Method 1 (hand warmth)

1. Place the panel in the dealer sensor test mode.
2. Rub your hands together vigorously until they feel hot.
3. Place the palm of one hand on the round disc of the sensor for about 7–10 seconds.
4. Listen for interior sirens/speakers to emit 7–8 beeps.
5. Exit sensor test. The sensor should reset in less than 1 minute.

Method 2 (hair dryer)

1. Plug in a portable hair dryer.
2. Hold the hair dryer about 12–18 inches from the sensor, aiming at the side of the sensor.
3. Listen for interior sirens/speakers to emit 7–8 beeps.
4. Exit sensor test. The sensor should reset in less than 1 minute.

CAUTION: Do not aim the hair dryer directly at the round disc on the sensor; otherwise the sensor must be replaced.

Mounting the Sensor

1. Locate the base mounting holes (inner pair and outer pair) and mount the base to the wall or ceiling with the appropriate hardware.
2. Attach the sensor to the base.
