The MHG 383 Heat Detector is a self-acting detector intended for the automatic fire alarm signalling as a heat detector of the analog and addressable Electric Fire Detection and Alarm System LITES.

It is especially intended for environs with explosion danger, eventually for such environs without explosion danger that require higher mechanical endurance of detectors. It responds to a fixed reached temperature level or to a temperature change before or during a fire.

The detector may work:

• in zone 1 and 2 of a space with gas burst danger according to ČSN EN 60079-14
• in zone 22 of a combustible dust space according to ČSN EN 50281-1-2
• in space V1, V2, V3 with fire or explosion of explosives danger according to ČSN 33 2340

The MHG 383 detector is meant for cooperation with the analog Control and Indicating Equipments (C.I.E.) MHU 110 or MHU 111, eventually with the addressable C.I.E. MHU 109. The
detector contains a program that evaluates the fire situation pursuant to measuring of the surrounding temperature, namely in agreement with the following adjustable characteristics:

• the threshold temperature - at this temperature level the fire alert puts on; it can be set in the interval 45°C - 90°C at 3°C
• the temperature change that leads to an alert (so-called differencial part); it may be set in the interval 10°C - 45°C at 5°C; eventually the reactio n to the temperature change may be not allowed
• the minimum average speed (steepness) of the temperature increase so that it comes to a respond to the differencial part, if it`s allowed; it may be set at c. 3°C/min or 10°C/min
• the minimum temperature that must be reached at a fire alert and also at the reaction of the differencial part; it can be set from 0°C up to the threshold temperature in seven equidistant steps

Further the pre-alert in the interval between 3°C and 24°C before the alert can be adjusted (applies only for the C.I.E.`s MHU 110 and MHU 111). If the evaluated temperatures are too low,
too high, or they do not make sense, the detector signals a fault.

The adjustable characteristics can be set either into the configuration program and recorded to the detector through the C.I.E. (MHU 110 or MHU 111), or they can be programmed right by
means of the preparation MHY 535 (MHU 109).

To a detection line the detector is to install through the use of the MHY 703 Mounting Base, eventually in environs without explosion danger through the MHY 713 Base.

The detector complies with the standard specifications ČSN EN 54-7. For its use in the Electric Fire Detection and Alarm System it is liable to the compliance examination according to law No. 22/1997 Sb., in wording law No. 71/2000 Sb. and the relevant orders of the government. For the use in environs with explosion danger the detector is liable to the homologation of the FTZÚ Ostrava - Radvanice A0 210.

 *) It is possible to set the classifications A1, A1S, A1R, A2, A2S, A2R, B, BS, BR to these detectors. The detectors may also be adjusted in a way so that they don`t conform to any
classification according to ČSN EN 54-5.
