A combined heat and smoke detector with batteries you can actually replace. Most wireless smoke detectors are sealed units that get binned at end of life; this one takes fresh cells and stays on the ceiling.
Built for the installer
The smoke sensor is a double-spectrum optical device that identifies smoke by particle size rather than simply reacting to anything in the chamber, and the chamber itself is a patented design that keeps dust, dirt and insects out. Those two things together are what stop a detector crying wolf in a dusty plant room or a kitchen.
The heat sensor adds a high-temperature alarm above 135F and low-temperature detection to UL 521, so it covers the fire signatures that produce heat before visible smoke. It reports to the hub over 905.0-926.5 MHz at up to 5,550 ft.
Key features
- Replaceable batteries rather than a sealed unit that gets discarded at end of life
- Double-spectrum optical smoke sensor that identifies smoke by particle size
- Patented smoke chamber keeping dust, dirt and insects out of the sensor
- High-temperature alarm above 135F plus low-temperature detection to UL 521
- Up to 5,550 ft radio range to the hub or a range extender
System requirements
Requires an Ajax hub or range extender. Indoor use, IP20. Check local code for detector spacing and placement before installing.
