Potter PAD300-HD is a certified Analog Addressable Rate of Rise and/or Fixed Temperature Heat Detector compatible with any fire alarm control panel that has the Potter Addressable Device (PAD) protocol
The heat sensing portion utilizes a proven thermistor for accurate and reliable heat detection. The detector and base (not included) are made of a durable plastic in an off-white to blend in with the ceiling.
The PAD300-HD is UL certified with a selectable fixed temperature point from 135° to 185° Fahrenheit and can be used for rate of rise applications. See detector spacing limitations below.
This flexibility allows the installer to cover a wide variety of applications with a single unit.
The PAD300-HD and the control panel communicate over a proven and robust digital communication path and the system analyzes the information at the particular device.
The total polling speed is less than five (5) seconds, well under the UL requirements. The detector is compatible with any of the PAD300 series detector bases and simply twists on.
The PAD300-HD is addressed using DIP switches in the rear of the detector and can be easily programmed in the field without special tools.

FAQ
Is a base included?
No. The base is sold separately; the detector twists onto any PAD300 series base such as the PAD300-4DB or PAD300-6DB.
Which panels is it compatible with?
Any fire alarm control panel that uses the Potter Addressable Device (PAD) protocol. It uses one address on the SLC.
How is the address set?
With DIP switches on the rear of the detector, from 1 to 127, with no programming tool required.
What spacing does it allow?
Maximum 70 ft spacing on smooth ceilings for both rate of rise and fixed temperature, across the 135°F to 185°F set-point range.
