Connecting the EXODUS fire detectors to the C-WG-0503S module

Fire detectors from the EXODUS series, manufactured by TEXECOM, can be used for monitoring areas as a part of fire prevention. The detectors are available in four designs, depending on the type of protected area. All variants have the same mounting base with the terminal block, the same size and design. The detectors are approved for protection in family houses and buildings intended for housing.

Selection of a suitable detector depends on the type of space:

rooms, offices (dust free environment) EXODUS OH/4W

kitchens, garages, boiler rooms EXODUS RR/4W

boiler rooms, operations up to 50 °C EXODUS FT64/4W

boiler rooms, operations up to 80 °C EXODUS FT90/4W

The EXODUS OH/4W is a detector with optical detection of smoke and thermo-differential detection of rising temperature;

it detects dense smoke (smoldering fire) or little smoke and a temperature rise from fast flaming fires; it is suitable for fast detection of a normal fire; the resistance to false alarms is higher compared with only optical or ionization detectors, which are not suitable for smoky, dusty and steamy environment (a kitchen, bars, bathrooms).

The EXODUS RR/4W works on the principle of thermo-differential detection of temperature rise (rapid increase in temperature), or triggers an alarm when the temperature exceeds 58°C; it is suitable for fast fire detection in smoky or dusty environment, e.g. in bars, attics, and in spaces where the temperature does not exceed 38°C; it is not suitable for environments where the temperature changes rapidly, such as bathrooms or kitchens.

The EXODUS FT64/4W works on the principle of fixed temperature heat detectors, and it triggers alarm when the temperature reaches 64 °C; it is suitable for fire detection in a smoky environment, or where temperature changes rapidly, e.g. bathrooms, kitchens and other areas where temperatures exceed 44 °C; it is not suitable for rapid detection of slow burning or smoldering fires or for operating temperatures above 44 °C.

The EXODUS FT90/4W operates on the principle of thermo-maximum detection of temperatures above 90 °C; the detector is suitable for environments with temperatures up to 70 °C, e.g. boiler rooms, but it is not suitable for rapid detection of slow burning or smoldering fires.

Notes:

1. The example is applicable to all variants of the EXODUS detectors (they have the same mounting base with the terminal block).

2. Terminals A to F are arranged in a circle around the perimeter of the detector.

3. Correct installation of the detector is specified in the product operating instructions.

4. The NC terminal is not used.

5. A cable with the wire diameter of at least 0.3 mm can be used for the connection, e.g. the SYKFY cable; its length can be up to dozens of meters.
