Potter PAD300-PHD Analog Photoelectric Smoke and Heat Detector

Protect critical spaces with fast, dependable detection from the Potter Electric Signal PAD300-PHD photoelectric smoke and heat detector. Designed for networked fire alarm and security systems, this combination detector pairs photoelectric smoke sensing with selectable rate-of-rise or a 135°F fixed-temperature heat element to minimize nuisance alarms while offering rapid response where it matters. The PAD300-PHD supports the Potter PAD addressable protocol with device-level sensitivity reporting (1.1–3.5%/ft) and polling times under five seconds, giving facility managers and integrators clear status and faster diagnostics for building monitoring and surveillance integrations. UL 268 and UUKL listings, 24V DC operation, drift compensation and a dirty-detector warning help ensure code-compliant performance and reduced maintenance costs. Its low-profile ceiling form factor and simple DIP-switch addressing make it ideal for new construction, retrofits, and security-conscious installations. Specify the PAD300-PHD for reliable, addressable fire detection in commercial, education, healthcare, and data center environments—contact your distributor or add it to your next system design.
