2.14 SAFETY CONTROLS
A. Freezestats: Shall be UL-listed, manual reset type, with 20-foot, non-averaging elements
and auxiliary contacts for alarm purposes. Any one foot of element sensing a temperature
below setpoint shall trigger fan shutdown. Provide one freezestat for each coil section of
each coil bank (e.g., one coil with three sections requires three freezestats). Wire
freezestats to protect unit in both hand and automatic operation. Wire one set of contacts
directly to the fan starter circuit and the other to an alarm input.
B. Smoke Detectors: Specified to be furnished under Division 16 and mounted by this Con-

where directed by Fire Marshall. Switch function and system controlled shall be clearly
identified at switch location.
D. High-static Safety Switches: Shall be UL-Listed, manual reset type and shall have auxiliary
contact for alarm. Wire High-static safety to protect unit in both hand and automatic
