DESCRIPTION Smoke and heat detector allows to early detection of a developing fire. Alarm is triggered after detection of visible smoke or after exceeding a certain threshold temperature.
The device consists of two independent detectors – an optical smoke detector and a heat detector. The first detector works on the principle of scattered light. It is very sensitive to large dust particles which are present in dense smoke. It is less sensitive to smaller particles generated by the combustion of liquids such as alcohol. That is why the fire detector also contains a built-in heat detector which has a slower reaction but is much better at detecting fire which generates only a small amount of smoke.
The detectors are intended to used as part of a security system. Used in residential, commercial buildings, caravan trailers, boats. The product is not designed to be installed in industrial premises.
