Product description
Overview
The duct smoke detector is used to detect smoke under
extended temperature ranges, typically in self-contained
commercial rooftop HVAC systems. In self-contained
commercial HVAC units, the HVAC equipment is enclosed in
a single package to protect the internal components
(compressor, condensing unit, heating coils, etc.) from adverse
environmental conditions. Hinged or removable service panels
provide access to the equipment.
