 1. Overview
This User Guide provides information on interfacing the FPC-5 module with the
bimetallic sensor (or LHD cable) with the condensed aerosol fire extinguishing units.

The rated temperatures for Bimetallic sensor and LHD cable are listed below:

Bimetallic Rated Temperatures 60°C, 70°C, 80°,100°C

LHD Rated Temperatures 68°C, 88°C, 105°C
