Product Overview

The BOSCH 5603 is a professional-grade heat detector designed to activate at a consistent fixed temperature of 135°F. As part of a critical security system, it provides a dependable method of heat-based threat detection in areas where smoke detection may be less effective or impractical—such as mechanical rooms, garages, or attics. Its fixed threshold ensures a rapid response to gradual heat build-up, reducing false alarms in challenging installation environments.

This model meets TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliance requirements, making it suitable for government and federally funded projects. Manufactured in the United States, it also supports domestic supply chain preferences and qualifies for various U.S.-based procurement standards. Installers and integrators benefit from the detector’s straightforward utility in both new installations and retrofit applications within larger commercial fire or safety systems.

Although detailed electrical specifications and compatibility data are unavailable, the clear thermal trigger point provides a simple, effective solution for heat-based event monitoring. Its solid-state reliability and straightforward configuration make it a key component in any code-compliant fire safety strategy.
