Siemens FPT-11 Intelligent Thermal Detector P/N:500-095918

The Siemens FPT-11 Intelligent Thermal Detector is an addressable heat detector designed for compatible Siemens FireFinder XLS and MXL fire alarm systems. It uses a solid-state thermistor to provide fast, accurate thermal sensing with a 135°F (57.2°C) rate-compensated temperature rating.

The FPT-11 combines microprocessor-based processing, electronic address storage, two-wire operation, self-diagnostics, and a multi-color status LED. Siemens identifies the detector under part number 500-095918.

135°F Thermal Detection

The FPT-11 is rated for:

135°F / 57.2°C

rate-compensated thermal detection.

Its electronic thermistor continuously monitors temperature changes and provides temperature information to the compatible fire alarm control panel. The electronic sensing method minimizes the thermal lag associated with traditional mechanical heat detectors.

Rate-Compensated Operation

The FPT-11 uses rate-compensated thermal sensing rather than a simple mechanical fixed-temperature element.

This allows the electronic sensing circuitry to evaluate changing temperature conditions while maintaining its 135°F temperature rating.

Intelligent Addressable Operation

The FPT-11 is a plug-in, two-wire intelligent detector that communicates directly with compatible Siemens fire alarm control equipment.

Each detector operates as an individually identifiable point, allowing the system to identify the exact thermal detector reporting an alarm, fault, or other condition.

Electronic Addressing

The FPT-11 stores its detector address electronically in:

EEPROM memory

This eliminates mechanical addressing methods such as:

• DIP switches
• Rotary address switches
• Programming jumpers

The address can be programmed and verified using compatible Siemens field programming equipment.

DPU & FPI-32 Programming

Compatible programming and testing equipment includes:

DPU — Device Programming Unit

FPI-32 — Field Programmer / Tester

These tools can electronically program the detector address and perform functional tests before the detector is installed.

Multi-Color LED

The FPT-11 incorporates a multi-color detector-status LED.

Typical indication includes:

Green: Normal communication and successful self-test

Amber: Fault or detector condition

Red: Confirmed alarm indication

The LED provides convenient local status information during normal operation, testing, and troubleshooting.
