SA-17

Wireless Maximum Heat Rise Rate Detector with RF Base

Rosslare's SA-17 is one of a powerful line of high performance indoor wireless smoke and heat detectors,
ideal for residential, commercial and institutional applications. This heat detector detects danger in areas
where high heat may normally occur, such as in kitchens or attics. Encased in a compact elegantly designed
shell, the SA-17 provides the most reliable, convenient and cost effective solution for heat and fire
detection.
With the SA-17, you can sleep easy. This battery-powered unit packs advanced features such as a field-
proven electronic NTC precision temperature sensor , detector removal tampering and low battery
messages, a test button to verify the detection electronics are working as intended, and local alarm
sounder.

General Description
The SA-17 Wireless Heat Detector is an indispensable
component in any security system.
The heart of the SA-17 is a built-in electronic NTC precision
temperature sensor, a built-in local Piezoelectric siren for
alarms, and beeps to indicate a low battery condition. On the
head there is a self-test button with an integral LED, set to
beep every 60 seconds when the battery is low.
The SA-17 Wireless Heat Detector comes in one package
with the integrated SA-13 RF Base, adaptor, and two new 9-
Volt Alkaline batteries (one for Head and one for Base).
When the detector's ambient temperature rises rapidly and
reaches pre-fire temperature of approximately 57°C (135°F),
the SA-17 Wireless Heat Detector will sound its alarm horn.
Since many fires grow rapidly in intensity causing a rapid
temperature increase, the thermostat also trips the
transmitter if the temperature rises 8°C (15°F) or more, per
minute.
