Our Smoke and Heat Sensor uses a photoelectric chamber to detect smoke particles in the air, as well as a temperature sensor to detect a rapid rise in a room's air temperature. Monitored smoke sensors can dramatically reduce the response time of the fire department in an emergency.

Features

• Built-in Audible Alarm Siren
• Built-in Fixed Temperature Sensor (135 ºF)
• "Rate-of-Rise" Heat Sensor (15 ºF/min > 105 ºF)
• LED Indicates Visual Status
• "Test and Silence" Button
• Full Self-Diagnostic Test Daily

Technical Details

• 5.6" diameter x 2.4" height
• Batteries: Two 3V lithium batteries (CR123A)

Installation Tips

Where Should I Put It?

Smoke and Heat Sensors can be either ceiling or wall mounted. For ceiling mounting, they should be placed in the center of a room or hallway, at least 4" away from the nearest wall. For wall mounting, they should be placed 4-12" below the ceiling. Avoid dusty or humid areas, and areas near a ventilation source (which may prevent smoke from reaching the detector).

How Many Do I Need?

In accordance with the national fire code, we recommend at least one smoke sensor outside each sleeping area and one on each floor, including a basement. A sleeping area is a "cluster" of bedrooms that share a common hallway. Even if your home already has built in non-monitored smoke detectors, adding one or two of our monitored Smoke and Heat Sensors can help alert the fire department more quickly in the event of a fire.

What Else Should I Know?

Smoke and Heat Sensors can sometimes confuse dust, or other "particulates", with smoke. So, it's best not to use this detector in dusty areas (which may include basements, garages, etc.).
