The strenght of heat detector and smoke detector

The strengths of a Heat detector are:

• Less Prone to False Alarms. While smoke detectors are prone to false alarms, heat detectors are harder to fool. Heat detectors rely on the actual temperature of the room, and, if the temperature of the room hasn`t increased, the alarm won`t be activated.
• Protects Attics and Basements. Smoke detectors struggle to protect attics and basements due to the dust and other particles in the air. Heat sensors, on the other hand, can easily protect their areas without losing their efficiency. They maintain their effectiveness in a variety of rooms and situations.
• Used With Ceiling Sprinklers. Heat detectors are the number one choice for triggering ceiling sprinklers in a building. The last thing that a business would want is a false alarm that activates the sprinklers. However, if there is a fire, ceiling sprinklers can save the building. Because heat detectors are incredibly effective and hard to fool, they are the best choice for this job.

The key to using heat detectors is knowing where to use them. They are not the best choice for bedrooms or everyday fire protection. Heat detection is best used in areas where a Smoke Detector won`t be accurate, such as garages, sheds, barns, attics, and basements. Smoke detection works best in open areas, bedrooms, kitchens, living rooms, and dining rooms.

How Long Do Heat Detectors Last?

Heat detectors can be wired or wireless. Most home security experts recommend that homeowners use wireless, battery-operated heat detectors. Using batteries will make sure that the heat detector continues to work even if the power in the house is shut off. Wired alarms may face challenges during neighborhood blackouts. The batteries that are used to power heat sensors are extremely reliable and have been known to last up to 10 years without failing. However, to be safe, heat detectors batteries should be replaced every five years.

About once a year, homeowners should test the heat detector to make sure that the device is still working. Most heat detectors will have a small testing button on the device. When the button is pressed, the device will give a short few beeps, similar to a Fire Detector. Testing the heat sensor ensures that the thermal detection on the device continues to work properly.

The detector itself should last ten years without any issues. Heat detectors use a very small amount of energy to work. Thermal detection can actively work without requiring any additional energy for years. However, if you experience complications or problems while testing the thermal sensor, it`s best to have the device replaced.

Does a Heat Detector Protect Your Home?

Heat detectors are very capable at protecting your home. Combined with a Smart Smoke Detector, heat detectors can give homes full protection from fires. While the smoke detector protects the home from low energy fires, heat detectors protect your home from high energy fires. High energy fires produce very little smoke and move quickly. They get hot fast and have high flames. Of course, they will still give off a small amount of smoke, so a Fire Alarm will still be able to alert the family. Having a heat detector will simply add an additional layer of protection.

Due to recent innovations in fire alarm technology, some fire alarms offer combined sensors. Combined sensors use both smoke detection and thermal detection to ensure that your home is protected from all fires.

Isafenest offers one of the best-combined sensors on the market. This fire detector can sense smoke, and tell the difference between the inorganic smoke and organic smoke. Inorganic smoke is smoke that comes from burning drywall, carpet, and treated wood. When the detector senses this type of smoke, the smart alarm will send you a notification alerting you that something that shouldn`t be on fire is on fire. Organic smoke is smoke that comes from burning wood, grass, hay, or other natural materials. If the sensor detects organic smoke in the air, the alarm will send you a different alert. With this alert, the sensor will ask you if the fire was intentional (such as an outdoor bonfire). If the fire is intentional, simply dismiss the notification and deactivate the alarm.

Isafenest fire detector offers more than smoke detection; it also offers heat detection. The heat sensor installed in the fire detector is a fixed thermal detector, meaning that the alarm activates when the air temperature reaches a specific heat for an extended period of time. For the best accuracy, the device monitors for three things:

• A temperature of 125 degrees for more than three minutes.
• A ten-degree increase in temperature in under one minute.
• If the temperature hits 125 degrees in under one minute (a combination of the first two).

In addition to having smoke detection and heat detection, the sensor also has freeze detection. Freeze detection alerts the homeowner if the indoor temperature is less than 41 degrees Fahrenheit or if the temperature in the home drops 10 degrees in under one minute.

Isafenest`s smart fire alarm helps homeowners to fully protect their homes from every possible threat. Homeowners are often exposed to a variety of dangers, including floods, fires, and earthquakes.
