Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Where is a heat detector required instead of smoke?
A: BFP-aligned engineering practice places heat detectors in kitchens, boiler rooms, garages and dusty industrial spaces where smoke detectors would generate nuisance alarms.
Q: What is the difference between A1R and CS classes?
A: A1R responds to about 58°C fixed or 9°C/min rate of rise, while CS is a fixed high-temperature class around 70°C, used in hot environments like boiler rooms.
Q: Does the detector latch its alarm?
A: Yes. The red LED latches on alarm until the panel resets the zone, matching fire alarm panel conventions.
Q: Can it be used in outdoor or wet areas?
A: A weatherproof housing option is available for covered outdoor and washdown areas; standard units are for indoor use.
Q: Is the heat detector compatible with your panels?
A: Yes. Conventional versions wire into any compatible zone, and addressable versions run on the Wanlin addressable loop protocol.
