Heat Detector - Commercial Type

These types of detectors are connected to a Fire Detection and Alarm System.

There are two methods for detecting fire from the presence of heat.

1. Fixed temperature heat detectors operate when the ambient temperature increases sufficiently to predetermined level where the heat detector will operate; and
2. A Rate-of-Rise heat detector operates when the ambient temperature increases over time equal to or greater than the rate of change the detector was manufactured to operate.

Knowing the type you require is important. Visit What is a Heat Detector
