Installation and Maintenance Instructions for
Addressable Plug-in Model H350R
Rate of Rise Temperature Sensor with Fixed Temperature Alarm
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Model H350R is an addressable sensor that uses a state-of-the-art thermistor sensing circuit for fast response. This sen-
sor is designed to provide open area protection with 50 foot spacing capability, and is intended for use with compatible
control panels only. The sensor responds to rate of rise conditions of greater than 15°F/minute. The sensor also provides
fixed temperature alarm detection at 135°F.
Two LEDs on each sensor light to provide a local, visible sensor indication. Remote LED annunciator capability is avail-
able as an optional accessory (Part No. RA400Z).

WIRING GUIDE
Refer to the installation instructions for the plug-in base being used. Bases are equipped with screw terminals for power, ground,
and remote annunciator connections. See Figure 1.
NOTE: All wiring must conform to applicable local codes, ordinances, and regulations.
NOTE: Verify that all sensor bases are installed and that the wiring polarity is correct at each base.
WARNING: Disconnect the power from the loop before installing sensors.
Before installing sensors, please thoroughly read the system wiring and installation manual, which provides detailed in-
formation on sensor spacing, placement, zoning, and special applications. Copies of these manuals are available from
Fire•Lite. NFPA standard 72 should also be referenced.

FCC Statement
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device
may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part
15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in
a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not in-
stalled and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
– Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
– Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
– Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
– Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Please refer to insert for the Limitations of Fire Alarm Systems

LISTED COMPATIBLE
CONTROL PANEL
1. Install Sensors:
a. Verify that the sensor type matches the type written on the label in the base.
b. Set the address on the sensor per job drawings.
Note: Some panels support extended addressing. In order to set
the sensor above address 99 on compatible systems, carefully
remove the stop on the upper rotary switch with thumb or finger
as shown in Figure 2.
c. Place the sensor into the sensor base.
d. Turn the sensor clockwise until it drops into place.
e. Continue turning the sensor clockwise to lock it in place.
2. Tamper Resistance
The sensor base includes a tamper proof feature which when activated prevents
removal of the sensor without the use of a tool. See the installation instruction
manual for the sensor base for details in using this feature.
3. After all sensors have been installed, apply power to the control unit.
4. Test the sensor by placing a magnet against the sensor plastic, as shown in Figure 3. The alarm level should be recog-
nized at the panel and the LED controlled by communication command from the panel.
5. The reset of the sensor LED is controlled by communication command from the panel.
TESTING SENSITIVITY
Sensors must be tested after installation and periodic maintenance. The sensitivity may be tested in the following ways.
A. Test Magnet (p/n M02-04-01 or M02-09-00)
1. Place the optional test magnet against the cover in the magnet test area, as shown in Figure 3, to activate the test
feature.
2. The LEDs should latch on within 10 seconds, indicating alarm and annunciating the panel.
3. Reset the detector at the system control panel.
B. Direct Heat Method (Hair dryer of 1000 – 1500 watts)
1. From the side of the detector, direct the heat toward the sensor. Hold the heat source about 6 inches (15 cm) away
to prevent damage to the cover during testing.
2. The LEDs on the detector should light when the temperature at the detector reaches the alarm setpoint. If the LEDs
fail to light, check the power to the detector and the wiring in the detector base.
3. Reset the detector at the system control panel.
Detectors that fail these tests should be returned for repair.
