Smoke Alarm w/ Heat Detection Sensor
Product Introduction
This wireless photoelectric smoke alarm and heat detector (product)
continually monitor operational status and provide a visual trouble
condition if they drift out of the sensitivity range or fail internal
diagnostics. This product meets NFPA 72 field sensitivity testing
requirements without the need for external meters. The alarm
sensitivity level can be determined at the product. Another feature is
built-in drift compensation that allows the product to adjust sensitivity
automatically as it becomes dirty over time. The drift compensation
feature dramatically increases the time between cleanings, as well as
reducing the chance of a nuisance alarm. Additional diagnostic
information is activated by applying a magnet near the detector’s
integral reed switch. This initiates a self-diagnostic routine and provides
visual indication of sensitivity level, or if service is required. The product
is powered by long life 3V Lithium batteries providing power to both the
sensor and wireless transmitter.
This wireless product works in conjunction with your wireless Control
Panel, providing a local indication.
