The 302-EPM-135 brings reliable heat detection into hazardous locations - a hermetically sealed, self-restoring sensor rated for explosionproof mounting where a standard detector isn't safe to install.

Built for the commercial fire installer

Rate compensation offsets thermal lag so the sensor responds appropriately to both slow and fast temperature rises, alarming at its rated 135°F regardless of how quickly the space heats up. The hexagonal grip bushing threads onto a JALX-11 explosionproof outlet body (or equivalent), hand-tightened only, and the shell automatically resets once the surrounding temperature drops back down - no manual reset needed.

FAQs

Does this include the outlet body?
No. Order a JALX-11 explosionproof outlet body (or equivalent Killark series JL fitting) separately.
Is this suitable for outdoor use?
No. This explosionproof model is for indoor use only. For outdoor hazardous-location applications, consult an all-weather 302-AW model instead.
Does this need to be manually reset after an alarm?
No. It self-restores once the surrounding temperature drops back below the rated level.
