What are the benefits of owning a heat detector?

A heat detector is a good addition to the smoke alarm. It will help to detect a heat source that is growing in case the smoke alarm in the home is not functioning.


What are smoke and heat alarms?

They are devices that are made to sense changes in heat (heat alarm/fire alarm) which then activated either self sounders or complex alarm systems Smoke alarms detect chemical changes and as like heat set off either internal sounders or complex alarm networks


What is the detector?

Any device that detects smoke or heat and that sounds an alarm.


What is the fire detector?

Any device that detects smoke or heat and that sounds an alarm.


How does a smoke alarm work?

press onThere are two kinds of smoke detectors. 1. When a fire burns, it releases smoke. The smoke detector senses the smoke. 2. A fire is very hot. The detector feels the heat. A smoke detector will then either set off an alarm, or it will turn on the sprinklers.


What is fire alarm system and heat detection system?

They can be the same thing. Fire Alarm Systems are electronic systems which are designed to warn and alert people in the case of a fire. These systems usually contain a central fire alarm control panel, a manual call point and smoke/heat detectors. The heat detectors and detect heat and set off the fire alarm and the smoke detectors detect the smoke from a fire to also set of the fire alarm system. The manual call points are pressed, smashed by someone in order to set off the fire alarms to warn occupants that there is a fire. Heat detectors and usually used in kitchens, bioler houses etc where a lot of smoke/stome is produced, thus stoppping false alarms. Although, you can get seperate heat detection systems which nearly do the same job as fire alarm systems, just with heat detectors.


What room is the fire alarm in your house?

This would normally be a smoke alarm/detector. At the basic lengths, you should have a heat detector in the kitchen, smoke alarm in the hallway of every floor. I.e. the entrance hallway on the ground floor and the landing on the first floor, second floor etc. If possible, also put one in the loft/atic and the basement (if you have one).


What kind of smoke alarm will monitor another floor and alert you at the floor you are on?

This would be one kind of "interconnected" smoke alarm. It is also possible to have any number of smoke or heat detectors wired to a Fire Alarm Control Panel, which can have an "auxiliary" display at your location to indicate which sensors have been triggered, if any.


What is fire detector?

It is a photocell set to read clean air if smoke interfere with the light an alarm will sounds is the basics anyhow


What is the principle of the working of the alarm?

There are a lot of fire alarm systems depending what kind of an alarm system you want.Fire alarm system with (smoke detectors,heat detectors,flame detectors almost the same with heat detectors,ionized smoke detectors and duct detectors) depending on the system of your needs.For you to understand it I will explain 2 of it.Smoke detectors have smoke sensors in side if the smoke is too much the alarm system starts to work,that means alarm works.How the alarm works the smoke detection system analysis the air which goes through it , if the sensor senses any increase of CO or CO2 then it starts the alarm. Flame or heat detector has a contact which is made of 2 different materials which has different specific heat, İf any heat reaches to this contact according t the different specific heated material contact bends towards the more specific heated material( you can do it with copper and iron at home if you fix them with a nonmetallic material and heat them even with a lighter you will see it with your eyes) than the alarm starts because the contact touches a metallic material to give the energy to the horn or bell.( for more specific information try Notifier or Honeywell


What does a burglar alarm sense?

A burglar alarm may be designed to detect several things, mainly doors or windows opening, but also movement, heat, smoke, and carbon monoxide.


Why does the smoke alarm go off if someone is cooking even when the food isn't burnt?

Smoke alarm may go off when it's not smokey inside because tiny, weak radioactive material which ionizes the air triggers the false alarm by sensing invisible smoke.
