About the ADT Heat Sensing Smoke Detector
Pairing this Heat Sensing Smoke Detector with ADT monitoring services is a great way to help protect your home from the risk of fires. The ADT-Monitored Heat Sensing Smoke Detector detects smoke through the ionization of the air surrounding the detector. Any changes in the air quality will trigger a smoke alarm. The same smoke alarm will be triggered when heat is sensed.
Key features of the ADT-Monitored Heat Sensing Smoke Detector include:
- Automatic drift compensation
- Built-in, dual-sensor heat detector with fixed heat and rate of rise detection
- Built-in 85dB smoke alarm
- Local test button
- Low profile design
- High/Low sensitivity reporting
- Low battery indication
- Easy-maintenance removable smoke chamber
- Long-life lithium batteries included
- Reliable 433 MHz and 868 MHz communication technology
The ADT-Monitored Heat Sensing Smoke Detector comes equipped with dual heat detector sensors. These sensors are a fixed temperature and rate-of-rise sensors. All heat detectors are classified into these two categories. Fixed temperature heat detectors contain a detective alloy that changes from a solid to a liquid when it reaches a specific temperature. Once the heat detects an overall temperature of 177 degrees, the alloy will change to liquid, triggering the smoke alarm. Rate-of-rise heat detectors measure temperature fluctuations between 12-15 degrees per minute. These detectors contain two heat-sensitive resistors within them; one monitoring the ambient temperature of the room and the other heat from the convection of a fire. Once the second resistor measures a temperature increase vs. the other, the smoke alarm is triggered. These two monitoring functions provide protection for your home while you’re away
