Summary
The Hochiki DCD-AE3 is a conventional combined rate of rise and fixed temperature heat detector designed for environments where medium ambient temperatures exist, such as drying rooms, or where smoke detectors are unsuitable due to the presence of steam or cooking fumes, like in kitchens. It features a 60°C fixed temperature element using a thermistor and linearising circuit to provide an accurate linear response. The DCD-AE3 is compatible with a range of bases for different applications and is supported on most conventional systems. It also includes a third terminal for remote indicator output.
