Electric Fire Detection

CORE Firestat - The Firestat is a device installed in the hood's duct connection that measures temperature. The standard temperature setting is 360°F. If a temperature higher than the set point is sensed or a rapid rate of rise is detected, the Firestat contacts will close and energize the fire system.

Electric System with Battery Backup - The detection and pull station for CORE comprise an electric circuit that is connected to a battery backup system. In the event of a power outage, the power to all gas and electric appliances must be disrupted through the use of electric gas valves or shunt trip breakers. The battery powers the detection and pull station circuits, as well as monitoring those devices.
