 Product Overview 
Model  OH121  from  Siemens  Industry  ─  Fire  Safety  is  a  photo  /  thermal  smoke 
detector  that  contains  a  thermal  sensor.    When  the  sensor  is  utilized,  an  Alarm 
condition  will  trigger  when  the  temperature  reaches  135°F  ─  at  this  point,  the 
detector will also lock into Alarm condition. 
The magnet-test feature allows for Model OH121 to be tested without the use of a 
heat  gun,  providing  quick  testing  for  installers  and  test  personnel  to  prove  the 
integrity  of  the  wiring  and  proper  connection  to  the  fire  alarm  control  panel 
(FACP). 
The  auto-sensitivity  feature  for  Model  OH121  stems  from  the  internal,  self-
monitoring  circuitry,  and  provides  dynamic  verification  of  sensitivity  and  /  or 
required maintenance. The auto-sensitivity feature is displayed by Siemens unique 
(3)  three-color  LED  provided  locally  on  the  detector  ─  and  optionally  with  the 
various remote LED indicators.
