Introduction
This document contains important information about installing and
operating the 5451 conventional, contact-type, rate-of-rise, heat detectors.
These conventional, contact-type detectors are manufactured by System
Sensor for use with Johnson Controls systems. If you install this detector

Model 5451 is a conventional, contact-type, rate-of-rise with fixed
temperature alarm heat detector utilizing a state-of-the-art dual thermistor
sensing circuit. These detectors are designed to provide open area
protection with 50 foot (1,5240 mm) spacing capability and are to be used
with compatible control panels only.
Two Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) on each detector provide 360°
visibility of the detector indication when the detector is powered and when
it is in alarm (Figure 3).
