Aritech DT713-5 Conventional Heat Detector (A2, 57°C)

1. Product Name: Aritech DT713-5 Conventional Heat Detector (A2, 57°C)

2. Description:

What Is the Aritech DT713-5 Heat Detector?

The Aritech DT713-5 is a conventional heat detector in the Dx700 series, classified as Class A2. It combines a fixed temperature threshold of 57°C with an integrated rate-of-rise (ROR) function. It complies with EN54-5 and is CPR-certified.

Operating Principle

The detector typically triggers an alarm when the ambient temperature reaches +57°C ± 1.5°C. It also responds to rapid temperature rises of 8°C per minute above 40°C, enabling it to detect developing fires. The alarm is indicated by a red LED. 700 series heat detectors continuously monitor their own sensitivity and operating status; once a day, they perform a full diagnostic test that dynamically checks their internal electronic circuits and reports any abnormal conditions to the compatible panel.

Role in Fire Detection Systems

Heat detectors are preferred in areas with dust, steam or exhaust where smoke detectors are prone to false alarms. DT713-5 sends an alarm to the panel via the zone in these areas and allows the alarm to be monitored externally via a remote indicator connection. The same family also includes the DT713-5R model, which has an integral volt-free relay.

Why Choose It?

• High immunity to false alarms: Heat-based detection reduces nuisance alarms in smoky or dusty environments.
• Fixed threshold and ROR: A fixed threshold of 57°C and rate-of-rise detection are combined in a single device.
• Automatic self-diagnostics: Faults are reported to the panel through a daily dynamic test.
• Wide compatibility: Works with Aritech conventional systems and Aritech and Excellence conventional ZMUs.
• Polarity-independent: Installation is faster because the connection polarity does not matter.

Installation and Commissioning

The detector is fitted to the DB702 base, which is ceiling-mounted. Each 700 series base has a normally closed continuity link between the LINE IN (1) and LINE OUT (2) terminals, allowing zone wiring to be tested using the bases alone before the detectors are installed. When a detector is fitted, the link opens automatically; if the detector is removed, the panel generates a fault message. The device is polarity-independent.
