A. SMOKE DETECTOR: A. SMOKE DETECTOR: Honeywell Wireless Photoelectric Smoke Detector
Honeywell Wireless Heat Detector • Occasionally, fires don't produce heat as quickly as they would produce smoke.
• features a fixed heat and rate-of-rise temperature sensor • They are faster to detect possible fires than heat detectors
• contains built in temp detector, which will signal an alarm if the • It can alarm people earlier in the development of the fire,
