Installation
Each detector includes a patented reversible mounting
plate. In one position, it easily attaches to 4” junction
box, 3 1/4” octagon box or plaster ring.
In reverse, the plate can be used for open wiring
without a junction box. A 1/4” space between detector
and mounting surface allows for wire connections. All
Description mounting screws are concealed.
Mircom’s MIR-600 Series Heat Detectors are attractive, The detector simply attaches to the mounting plate with
durable and feature combination rate-of-rise and a push and twist motion. No tools are required. The

reacts to heat by responding to a specific temperature
setting. Mircom’s MIR-600 Series detectors use the
same reliable pneumatic rate-of-rise element of former
models, but offer added aesthetic appeal.
The pneumatic rate-of-rise element responds to a
rapid rise in temperature, approximately 15°F (8°C) per
minute, by expansion of air within the sealed chamber
faster than it can escape through a calibrated vent. The
resultant increase in pressure depresses the diaphragm,
causing the electrical contact to close the circuit. The
fixed temperature element uses a fusible alloy. When
activated, the external heat collector drops away to
provide quick visual confirmation that the element has
operated. The units protrude only 1-3/8 inch from the
ceiling surface with a junction box mounting. They have
pleasing contours and an all-white finish that conforms
to ceiling aesthetics.
MIR-600 Testing Methods
Models 601/621 and 602/622 can be tested by the
application of quick heat from any convenient source. A
portable hair dryer is recommended. However, do not
apply heat that exceeds the fixed temperature rating of
the detector. Models 603/623 and 604/624 cannot be MEA
approved
tested. However, the fusible alloy element is generally
S6299 S7498 7270-1477:120 313-97-E
considered so reliable that testing is not necessary.

NOTE A ELECTRICAL RATINGS:
Maximum detector coverage has been determined by ULC to provide 3.0 Amp. @ 6-125 VAC
detection time equal to sprinkler devices at 10 ft. (3m) intervals on a 1.0 Amp. @ 6-28 VDC
smooth ceiling 15 ft. 9in. (4.8m) high. Higher ceilings can adversely 0.3 Amp. @ 125 VDC
affect detection time. In some instances, earlier detection time may be 1.0 Amp @ 25 VDC
obtained by reducing the spacing between the detectors. Refer to the
latest edition of CAN/ULC-S524, Standard for the Installation of Fire Screw Terminals
Systems, section heat detectors.
NOTE B
FM rates this detector at 30 ft. (9.14m) spacing. This is the maximum
FM rating available.
NOTE C
Maximum distance shown is from any wall partition or ceiling projection
extending down more than 122 inches (305mm)
The coverage and spacing figures given here are intended as a guide
only. Heat detectors must be spaced and installed as per the specific
requirements outlined in the ULC codes as well as all other applicable
national and local code requirements.
IMPORTANT SPECIAL NOTES
Application:
Heat detectors should be used for property protection. Reliance should
not be solely placed on heat detectors for life safety. When Life Safety
is involved smoke detectors MUST also be used. Detectors must not
ne painted.
Battery Back Up:
Heat detectors should be electronically supervised with battery back-
up at the panel.
