Honeywell TC808ES – Addressable Thermal Detector

Honeywell TC808ES – Addressable Thermal Detector

The Honeywell TC808ES is an intelligent addressable thermal (heat) detector designed for use in professional fire alarm systems. It belongs to the TC808 series and is used for early detection of fire conditions based on temperature rise or fixed temperature thresholds.

It is typically installed in commercial, industrial, and public buildings as part of an EN54-compliant fire detection system, where smoke detection is not suitable (dusty, humid, or high-airflow environments).

Key Features

• Intelligent addressable heat detector
• Available in different variants (fixed temperature / rate-of-rise types)
• Designed for open-area fire protection
• Dual LED indicators with 360° visibility
• Compatible with Honeywell addressable fire alarm panels
• Remote LED output support
• Automatic system recognition and communication via loop protocol
• High resistance to false alarms in harsh environments

Technical Specifications

• Model: TC808ES (part of TC808 series)
• Type: Thermal / heat detector (addressable)
• Detection Principle: Thermistor-based temperature sensing

Electrical:

• Operating voltage: approx. 15–32 V DC
• Very low standby current (microamp range)
• Loop-powered device (no external power required)

Temperature Detection (depending on variant):

• Fixed temperature alarm (typical class A1S / ~58°C versions exist in series)
• Rate-of-rise detection models available
• Designed for EN54 fire safety standards

Indicators:

• Dual LEDs for status indication (alarm / normal / fault depending on panel)
• 360° visible alarm indication

Installation
