Introduction
Non-resettable line-type heat detectors (NLTHD) have been used for a considerable number of years
and are incorporated into fire detection systems and in some countries even into fire alarm systems if
accepted by the relevant authorities. These detectors are typically used in areas where point type heat
detectors are presented with challenging environmental characteristics and also, where access to the
detectors, may significantly influence the fire alarm system design.
This standard defines the minimum system functionality for NLTHD products.
Due to the various applications for NLTHD, it is necessary to devise separate environmental
classification tests for the sensing element and the sensor control units of these systems. It is not the
purpose of this standard to define applications or how NLTHD should be used in applications.
Generally NLTHD operate on using the same basic principle. However, they can have different
performance with respect to the temperature response. Therefore they have been differentiated by a
type code which reflects the nominal alarm temperature, the tolerance range and the maximum
ambient temperature at which they could be used.

1 Scope
This European Standard applies to non-resettable line-type heat detectors consisting of a sensing
element using an electrical sensor cable which can be connected to a sensor control unit or either
directly or through an interface module to a control and indicating equipment intended for use in fire
detection and fire alarm systems installed in and around buildings and civil engineering works (see
EN 54-1:2011).
The non-resettable sensing element has a fixed temperature alarm threshold and does not distinguish
between short circuit and alarm condition.
This European Standard specifies the requirements and performance criteria, the corresponding test
methods and provides for the Assessment and Verification of Constancy of Performance (AVCP) of non-
resettable line-type heat detectors to this European Standard.
This European Standard also covers non-resettable line-type heat detectors intended for use in the local
protection of plant and equipment.
Non-resettable line-type heat detectors with special characteristics and developed for specific risks are
not covered by this standard.

3.2 Abbreviations
For the purposes of this document, the following abbreviation applies.
NLTHD: non-resettable line-type heat detector
4 Product characteristics
4.1 General
4.1.1 Compliance
In order to comply with the present standard, detectors NLTHD shall comply with the requirements of
Clause 4, which shall be verified by visual inspection or engineering assessment as described in Clause 5
and shall meet the requirements of the tests.
4.1.2 NLTHD performance type
To simplify/standardize/rationalize product marking (see Clause 8), the performance type of the
NLTHD is described using the following format, Txxx-Vyy-Azzz, where:
— Txxx is the nominal alarm temperature in the range 54 °C to 160 °C;
— Vyy is the variance of the nominal alarm temperature in ± %, which is either 05 or 10;
— Azzz is the maximum ambient temperature in °C, i.e. the maximum environment temperature at
which the sensing element of the NLTHD could be installed and operated without generating an
alarm.
EXAMPLE T085-V10-A066 means a NLTHD with a nominal alarm temperature of 85 °C having a variance of
10 % (i.e. a minimum alarm temperature of 76,5 °C and a maximum alarm temperature of 93,5 °C) which can be
used for an application in which the ambient temperature is no greater than 66 °C.
The difference between the maximum ambient temperature and the minimum alarm temperature is to
be at least 4°C.
4.1.3 Environmental groups
Different environmental groups are necessary to reflect the different service environment of the
components of an NLTHD:
The sensing element is in either environmental group II or III.
The sensor control unit and the functional unit are in either environmental group I, II or III.
NOTE Environmental group I covers equipment likely to be installed indoors in commercial/industrial
premises but for which the avoidance of extreme environmental conditions can be taken into account in the
selection of the mounting site. Environmental group II covers equipment likely to be installed indoors in
commercial/industrial premises in all general areas. Environmental group III covers equipment which is intended
to be installed outdoors.
4.2 Nominal activation conditions/sensitivity
4.2.1 Individual alarm indication
Each sensor control unit shall be provided with an integral latched red visual indicator, by which the
individual sensor control unit, which released an alarm, can be identified, until the alarm condition is
reset. Where other conditions of the sensor control unit can be visually indicated, they shall be clearly
distinguishable from the alarm indication, except when the sensor control unit is switched into a service

The NLTHD shall signal a fault condition when the sensing element is interrupted.
To confirm this, the detector shall be assessed in accordance with 5.3.5.
4.3.6 On-site adjustment of response behaviour
The effective response behaviour of a NLTHD is dependent upon both the sensitivity settings of the
sensor control unit and the heat sensing element. Some types of NLTHD therefore may have facilities to
adjust the sensitivity of the NLTHD to suit the application.
If there is provision for on-site adjustment of the response behaviour of the detector then:
a) for each setting, at which the manufacturer claims compliance with this standard, the detector shall
comply with the requirements of this standard, and access to the adjustment means shall only be
possible by the use of a code or special tool;
b) any setting(s), at which the manufacturer does not claim compliance with this standard, shall only
be accessible by the use of a code or special tool, and it shall be clearly marked on the detector or in
the associated data, that if these setting(s) are used, the detector does not comply with the
standard.
These adjustments may be carried out at the sensor control unit or at the control and indicating
equipment.
To confirm this, the detector shall be assessed in accordance with 5.3.6.
