Where normal room temperatures run above 100°F (38°C) but stay below 150°F (66°C), such as mechanical rooms, the Simplex 4098-9403 Lifealarm heat detector is a suitable fixed-temperature choice. It is a conventional, direct-connect electronic detector rated at 200°F (93°C) and is wired directly to a two-wire initiating device circuit.
Key Features
- 200°F (93°C) fixed-temperature operation
- Fast-response thermistor design, inherently rate compensated due to minimal thermal lag
- Epoxy-encapsulated electronics for ceiling or wall mounting
- Self-restoring operation with repeatable accuracy for easy testing
- Alarm LED on the detector turns on steady in alarm
- Direct-connect: wiring attaches to the detector terminals; mechanical adapter plate supplied

FAQ
Where should the 4098-9403 be used?
The 200 °F fixed temperature models are for areas where normal temperatures exceed 100 °F (38 °C) but stay below 150 °F (66 °C). For lower ambient temperatures Simplex offers the 135 °F 4098-9401.
What spacing does it allow?
UL maximum spacing is 60 ft x 60 ft (18.3 x 18.3 m) and FM maximum spacing is 15 ft x 15 ft (4.5 x 4.5 m).
Is it addressable?
No. It is a two-wire direct connect detector with a current limited alarm output for conventional initiating device circuits.
How is it mounted?
It mounts with the supplied adapter plate on a 4 in. octagonal box at least 1-1/2 in. deep. It is not intended for outdoor applications.
