Product Description
The Texecom Exodus FT64 is a fixed-temperature heat detector that triggers at 64°C, ignoring smoke entirely. That's the specification that decides where it goes: kitchens, garages and dusty stores where a smoke head nuisance-trips.
Where it fits a spec
Heat-only detection makes the FT64 a fit for commercial catering areas, workshop bays and warehouse loading zones — anywhere airborne particles or cooking fumes would otherwise cause false alarms on a smoke detector.
Key specs
- Activation point: fixed at 64°C
- Wiring: 12V four-wire configuration
- Output: built-in alarm relay
- Standard: EN54-5 compliant fire detection device
- Detection: microprocessor-controlled thermal detection
- Commissioning: alarm simulation test button fitted
Panel integration
The four-wire configuration with an integrated relay connects directly to a conventional fire or intruder alarm control panel — confirm the panel's zone supports 4-wire conventional heat detectors before specifying it on a job.
Commissioning note
The built-in test button lets an installer simulate an alarm condition during commissioning or routine maintenance without needing to apply actual heat to the sensor.

Frequently Asked Questions
What temperature triggers the Texecom FT64?
It activates at a fixed 64°C, using microprocessor-controlled thermal detection rather than smoke sensing.
Does the FT64 detect smoke as well as heat?
No — it is a fixed temperature heat detector only, designed for areas where smoke detectors would generate false alarms.
How does the FT64 wire into a control panel?
It uses a 12V four-wire configuration with a built-in alarm relay for direct connection to a conventional fire or intruder alarm panel.
Is the FT64 suitable for kitchens and garages?
Yes, Texecom specifies it for kitchens, garages and dusty environments where smoke-based detection is impractical.
