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.
PHL Links, LLC has introduced a
new range of product that is fully compliant with
the latest legislation The New PHL Electro Thermal
Links are being made available in all temperature
ranges to UL 864 9th Edition standards. 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.
)
The new Units incorporate a tighter
tolerance stainless steel cage, and smart circuitry
that allows Fire Control panels to constantly
monitor the unit for continuity, ground fault
interruption, and wire separation.
We are also able to supply under
UL certification the original PHL links for existing
systems and component replacement/service.

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.
