TFH-280F
© 2010 – 2012 Telefire Fire & Gas Detectors Ltd Revision 1.01 June 2012

1 Introduction
Telefire's TFH-280F is a fixed-temperature conventional heat detector.
The detection process is fully electronic and does not include moving parts.
The TFH-280F will trigger an alarm when the temperature reaches 65°C (149°F)
The detector contains an alarm LED viewable from 360°. This LED blinks during normal
operation and is latched on during an alarm.

2 Compatibility
2.1 Control Panels
The TFH-280F is compatible with the following control panels:
• All TSA-1000 models
• TSA-1000X
• TSA-200 and TSA-200X
• All GSA-1000 models
• GSA-2B
The TFH-280F is compatible with Telefire's ADR-3000 Analog Addressable Control
Panel when used with an ADR-812 or ADR-818 Input module.

2.2 Bases
The TFH-280F is compatible with Telefire's TFB-180 Standard Detector Base.
Warning
! Do not connect these detectors to control panels made by
manufacturers other than Telefire.

3 Installation
Planning of quantity and location of detectors shall be done according to the local codes
and regulations and in accordance to the planning consultant's requirements.

3.1 Pre-Installation Planning


3.1.1 Capacity Planning
Ensure that the total number of initiating devices (detectors, switches, call point, etc.)
does not exceed the maximum allowed per detection zone, floor area, or other
limitations as specified by the applicable standards and regulations.
3.1.2 Cabling Planning
The detector is connected to the control panel via a TFB-180 standard detector base via
a two-wire connection (the control panel's IDC loop). The detector has an output for
activating a TFL-1N Auxiliary Signaling Indicator for Conventional Detectors. Please
look at the technical manuals of the TFB-180 and TFL-1N for additional details about
connecting the cables from the control panel's input and TFL-1N to the base.
Note
i Notify the operator or the security personnel that the system will be temporary
disconnected before adding detectors to the control panel.

3.2 Installation
3.2.1 Control Panel Configuration (TSA-1000 Only)
Ensure that the input zone is configured as type d (standard initiating device zone).
Please refer to the TSA-1000 technical manual for a detailed description of programming
and configuration.
3.2.2 Location
The TFH-280F Heat Detector is recommended for use in locations where smoke
detectors are unsuitable, particularly in areas that are subject to excessive fumes, such
as boiler rooms or kitchens.
Observe NFPA 72 guidelines and local fire codes when installing the TFH-280F.
Use only Telefire's TFB-180 Standard Detector Base.
For remote signaling use only Telefire's TFL-1N Auxiliary Signaling Indicator for
Conventional Detectors.

UL UL Requirement
Heat detectors are not to be used with detector guards unless the
combination has been evaluated and found suitable for that purpose.

3.2.3 Connecting to the Control Panel’s Input Line


Connect the IDC to the detector’s base. Refer to TFB-180 technical manual for wiring
diagrams.
All wiring must conform to applicable local codes, ordinances and regulations.
Note
i Measure the wiring to ensure there are no shorts before connecting the wiring
to the control panel.
Connecting or adding detectors to the control panel shall be done when all
power to the control power (AC and batteries) is disconnected.

3.3 Post-Installation – Field Test


Perform a field test (also known as "Walk Test") to ensure that all detectors function
properly. Please see the control panel's manual for a detailed explanation on how to
perform a field test.
Testing is automatic other than the activation of the detector that is done manually by
putting a magnet next to the detector's test point. See section 4.1.1 for a detailed
explanation on how to perform the test.
Ensure that the detector functions properly and is included in the necessary activation
matrices.
Warning
! Do not apply naked flame to the detector!

4 Maintenance
4.1 Periodic Testing
Fire alarm systems should be checked periodically. Please refer to NFPA and local fire
codes to determine service frequency.
Use the control panel’s Walk Test mode to perform automatic reset. Please refer to the
control panel’s manual for additional details on how to perform Walk Test.
4.1.1 Test Procedure – Locally
1. Apply a magnet to the side of the detector next to the LED for 3 – 5 seconds. This
activates an internal testing circuit that simulates alarm temperature in the detector,
tests the sensing mechanism and the detector's electronic circuit.
Warning
! Do not apply naked flame to the detector!

2. The detector's LED should latch on and the detector will alert the control panel.
3. Once the detector is in alarm mode, it keeps an alarm condition until reset by
disconnecting the detectors power for a few seconds. Press the Reset key at the
control panel's keyboard to reset the detector. Control panels that have a “walk
test” function can reset a tested detector automatically if set to operate in walk test
mode. Please refer to the appropriate control panel manual for instructions on how
to conduct a walk test.

5 Indications and Troubleshooting


The detector includes an indicating LED that indicated the detector’s status.
The control panel will also indicate the zone in alarm on the control panel’s display.
Please see the control panel’s manual for a detailed explanation of alarm and fault
indication.
