These detectors use two
networked thermistors in a bridge
configuration to provide a fast
response, that depends both on
absolute temperature and notes
the change of temperature. The
rate of rise/fixed temperature heat detectors can
be used in areas where smoke sensors are
unsuitable due to environmental conditions
(smoke, dust etc,). Such areas include kitchens,
locker rooms, canteens, garages, loading bays
etc.
The integral electronics emulate conventional fire
detector's response curves and transmit the state
to a controller as an analogue representation of
the ambient temperature conditions.

These detectors react to the visible
and invisible fire aerosols (products
of combustion) and are therefore
capable of detecting the early
presence of hot smouldering and
flaming fires, such as wood, paper
etc.
They are particularly suitable for general applications
in all areas and use a dual ionisation chamber in
which the air is ionised by a single radioactive source
(33k Bq Americium 241). The presence of smoke in
the sampling chamber causes a change in the
balance voltage, between the two chambers. This is
then converted to a current level and transmitted as
an analogue value.
