Question 1

When should I use a heat detector instead of a smoke detector?

Accepted Answer

Use heat detectors in areas where smoke detectors would cause frequent false alarms: kitchens (cooking fumes), garages (exhaust fumes), dusty workshops (airborne particles), boiler rooms (steam), laundries (steam and heat), and outdoor covered areas. Heat detectors respond to temperature rather than smoke particles.

Question 2

What is the difference between fixed temperature and rate-of-rise?

Accepted Answer

Fixed temperature detectors activate when the surrounding temperature reaches a preset level (typically 57 or 70 degrees C). Rate-of-rise detectors activate when the temperature increases rapidly (8-10 degrees C per minute), even if the absolute temperature is below the fixed threshold. Combination detectors with both mechanisms provide the best coverage.

Question 3

What is the price of a heat detector in Bihar?

Accepted Answer

We supply conventional and addressable heat detectors including fixed temperature and rate-of-rise types, compatible with all major fire alarm panel brands. Contact us for current pricing.

Question 4

Can heat detectors replace smoke detectors entirely?

Accepted Answer

No. Heat detectors respond slower than smoke detectors because significant heat buildup occurs later in a fire compared to smoke generation. Smoke detectors provide earlier warning, giving more time for evacuation. Heat detectors should only be used where smoke detectors are impractical. Most buildings need a combination of both.

Question 5

What temperature should I set for the heat detector?

Accepted Answer

Standard setting is 57 degrees C for normal environments. For kitchens where ambient temperatures can be high, 70 or 90 degrees C settings are used. The detector should be rated at least 20 degrees C above the maximum expected ambient temperature to avoid false alarms. We recommend the appropriate setting during the design phase.
