Description

The Gent 805590 is a detector base for ES Detect conventional heads and compatible intrinsically safe detectors. It accepts the 800171, 800177, 800271 and 800371 ES Detect heads, as well as the 803271.EX, 803371.EX and 803374.EX detectors. The head fits in one orientation and a lock is included to secure it against removal. Cables can enter from the side or through the bottom plate. The white ABS base is 117mm in diameter and 24mm high, with a height of 62mm when a compatible detector is fitted. It has an application temperature range of -20°C to +72°C and stores from -25°C to +75°C.

The 805590 is the standard base for ES Detect heads. It fits the 800171 fixed heat detector, 800177 Class B fixed heat detector, 800271 rate-of-rise heat detector and 800371 optical smoke detector.

Read the full technical description

The 805590 is the standard base for ES Detect heads. It fits the 800171 fixed heat detector, 800177 Class B fixed heat detector, 800271 rate-of-rise heat detector and 800371 optical smoke detector.

The same base also fits the 803271.EX, 803371.EX and 803374.EX intrinsically safe detectors. These detector circuits connect through the appropriate barrier and interface for the intrinsically safe system.

The head fits the base in one orientation. A detector removal lock is included. Cables can enter through the side or the bottom plate, and the terminals accommodate conductors from 0.6mm diameter to 2mm² cross-section.

The white ABS base is similar to RAL 9010 and measures 117mm in diameter by 24mm high. A compatible detector and base together are 62mm high. The base application temperature range is -20°C to +72°C and its storage range is -25°C to +75°C.

FAQs

Which ES Detect detectors fit the 805590?

The 805590 fits the 800171 fixed heat detector, 800177 Class B fixed heat detector, 800271 rate-of-rise heat detector and 800371 optical smoke detector. It is the standard mounting base for those conventional heads. The head fits in one orientation, and a removal lock is included in the base. Cables can enter from the side or through the bottom plate. The base measures 117mm in diameter and 24mm high, with a height of 62mm when a compatible head is fitted.

Can the 805590 be used with intrinsically safe detector heads?

The 805590 fits the 803271.EX rate-of-rise heat detector, 803371.EX optical smoke detector and 803374.EX dual-angle optical heat detector. Those detector circuits connect through the appropriate barrier and interface for the intrinsically safe system. The head fits directly into the base, which has a removal lock and accepts cables from the side or bottom plate. This base is also used with the 800171, 800177, 800271 and 800371 ES Detect heads on conventional fire detection circuits.

How do cables enter the 805590, and how does the head fit?

Cables enter the 805590 from the side or through the bottom plate. Its terminals accommodate conductors from 0.6mm diameter to 2mm² cross-section. The detector head fits in one orientation and the base includes a lock to secure it against removal. The base is 117mm in diameter and 24mm high. With a compatible detector fitted, the combined height is 62mm. Its white ABS body has an application temperature range extending from -20°C to +72°C.

What is the difference between the 805590 and the 805590-D?

The 805590 is the standard base, while the 805590-D is the diode base for ES Detect. The diode base maintains zone continuity when a detector head is removed. The 805590 has a 117mm diameter and a height of 24mm; the 805590-D has a 115mm diameter and a depth of 24mm. Both fit the 800171, 800177, 800271 and 800371 ES Detect heads. The standard 805590 is also the base used with the 803271.EX, 803371.EX and 803374.EX intrinsically safe heads.

What are the size and temperature limits of the 805590?

The 805590 is 117mm in diameter and 24mm high. A compatible head and base together have a height of 62mm. The base uses white ABS, similar to RAL 9010, and has an application temperature range of -20°C to +72°C. Its storage temperature range is -25°C to +75°C. Cables can enter through the side or the bottom plate. A detector removal lock is included, and the compatible head fits into the base in one orientation.
