PHL McCabe Electro Thermal Fire Link Upgrade
March 2009
Underwriters Laboratories (UL File 864 9th Edition) requires that all fire and smoke alarm devices allow electrical supervision of not only the device, but also the corresponding leads. The PHL McCabe Electro Thermal Bi-metal Resettable Fire Links fall into this category.
Correspondingly, PHL Links, LLC is in the process of upgrading the PHL Electro Thermal Links in all temperature ranges to UL 864 9th Edition standards. As a result, PHL will only be able to offer the upgraded units following the UL advised testing period of between six to eight weeks. In the meantime, we will have limited availability on the current PHL Electro Thermal units until the compliant product is available.
Important Note: The new UL 864 9th Edition requirement only affects the PHL Electro Thermal units. All Thermal activated units from PHL will continue to be covered under current UL certifications.
For many of our customers the UL designation is important, however if in the short term UL certification is not required, we can build existing product according to demand.
