Intelligent Heat Detectors with Optional CO Sensors

Overview
Signature Series fixed temperature and rate-of-rise heat detectors bring advanced sensing technology to a practical design that increases efficiency, saves installation time, cuts costs, and extends property protection capabilities. Continuous self-diagnostics ensure reliability over the long-haul, while the latest thermister technology makes these detectors ideal whereever dependable heat detection is required. With their integral CO sensor, these devices pull double-duty — continually monitoring the environment for heat from combustion, as well as its invisible yet deadly companion, carbon monoxide.

Like all Signature Series detectors, these are intelligent device that gather analog information from their heat and CO sensor (if present), converting this data into digital signals. To make an alarm decision, the detector’s on-board microprocessor measures and analyzes sensor readings and compares this information to historical data. Digital filters remove signal patterns that are not typical of fires, thus virtually eliminating unwanted alarms.

The SIGA-HCD is a fixed temperature heat detector that includes an advanced carbon monoxide sensor. When the electrochemical cell reaches its end of life after approximately six years, the detector signals a trouble condition to the control panel.
