Heat Detectors

A Heat Detector is a small inexpensive device similar to a Smoke Detector. It is used best in places a smoke detector may not fare as well such as in a kitchen. Heat Detectors can be used by themselves in a small home or integrated with other devices such as Fire Alarm Control Panels and Pull Stations in large commercial buildings. There are two types of Heat Detectors: Rate-of-Rise and Fixed temperature detectors.

Our technicians at Security Engineers are specialists who have intimate knowlege of the most current technologies available on the market. We can visit your property and design a comprehensive Fire Protection System that fits both your project and your budget. Call us to schedule a free evaluation 800-540-2140. We can design, install, upgrade and test your fire alarm system. Browse some of the gear we work with below.


System Sensor 5451 Conventional Heat Detector

The 400 Series thermal rate-of-rise with fixed heat detector contains a unique dual thermistor heat sensing circuit to provide maximum performance and solid state reliability. The Model 5451 is designed to initiate an alarm at 135°F and to respond to a temperature increase in excess of 15° per minute. This enables the heat detector to communicate an alarm to the central control panel prior to reaching the static set point for these high rates of rise, providing a timely response to both rapid and slow temperature increases. This model should be used in applications where rapid response is desired and where rapid temperature increases would only be caused by a fire emergency.

GE Security GSA-HRS ROR/Fixed Temp. Heat Detector

Signature Series Model GSA-HFS and GSA-HRS Intelligent Heat Detectors gather analog information from their fixed temperature and/or rate-of-rise heat sensing elements and converts it into digital signals. The detector's on-board microprocessor measures and analyzes these signals. It compares the information to historical readings and time patterns to make an alarm decision. Digital filters remove signal patterns that are not typical of fires. Unwanted alarms are virtually eliminated.

The microprocessor in each detector provides four additional benefits - Self-diagnostics and History Log, Automatic Device Mapping, Stand-alone Operation and Fast, Stable Communication.

GE Security EC20FTU-3 Conventional Fixed Temp. Heat Detector

EC Series low-profile plug-in heat detectors measure-up to the quality and performance standards that have made GE Security fire detection products the industry's best price-performance buy available today. Meticulously engineered to deliver high-performance features, superb reliability, and unbeatable quality, EC Series heat detectors are a low-cost solution for electronic conventional heat detection applications.

The EC20RRU-3 also has an alarm threshold of 135° F (58° C), but it incorporates an advanced rate compensation sensing element that causes the detector to become more sensitive when an increase in the rate of temperature rise is detected.
