Overview
Figure 1 Roof Space Heat Detectors
Standard Smoke or Heat Alarms are not suitable for residential roof space
applications where fire may occur.
Brooks has developed a solution to protect residential roof space when a residential
fire panel is used. The heat detector utilises a bi-metallic heat switches to detect
temperature rise in the roof space.
When the temperature in the roof space reaches the set point of the bi-metallic
switch, the contact of the switch will close and connects approximately 12V (with a
diode forward voltage drop) to the interconnect which activates all Smoke or Heat
A
larms within RFP V2 series. Roof space detectors available for 60⁰ C or 80⁰ C
applications.
