Heat Detectors: Minimize property damage by reacting to temperature. Virtually trouble-free in harsh environments.

Smoke Detectors: Protect people by warning building occupants before smoke accumulates. Vital for smoldering fires and CO protection.

Why install Heat Detectors instead?

In areas where property protection is primary, or where smoke detectors cause false alarms (dusty/humid zones), heat detectors are the ideal choice. They are often used to trigger sprinklers or fire suppression systems.

Solving "Thermal Lag"

Fixed-temperature detectors can suffer from thermal lag during fast fires, alarming at temperatures higher than set points. JBE's Rate-of-Rise Compensated detectors prevent this. They respond like standard detectors for slow fires, but for fast-building fires, the compensation prevents lag, ensuring the set point is reached exactly on time.

Application Areas

Suitable for locations prone to cooking fumes, dust and steam, where smoke alarms may cause false alarms:

• • Kitchens
• • Garages
• • Laundry rooms
• • Boiler rooms
• • Lofts / Attics
• • Cellars

Detection & Spacing Limits

Max. 5.3 m to the furthest wall

Max. 5.3 m to potential fire-hazard room doors

Max. 5.3 m between adjacent heat alarms

Clearance Requirements

Minimum 300 mm clearance from walls

Minimum 300 mm clearance from corners and light fittings

Minimum 1500 mm clearance from fluorescent light fittings

Q: Can this heat alarm replace smoke alarms for bedrooms and escape routes?

A: No. Heat alarms must not be installed on escape routes. Bedrooms, hallways and escape routes require smoke alarms for fire protection.

Q: How often should I test the heat alarm? Can I test it with an open flame?

A: Weekly testing is required. Never use an open-flame test, which may damage the unit or cause fire hazards.

Q: Will closed doors affect the alarm performance?

A: Yes. Closed doors and obstructions can block heat transmission. Install sufficient alarms to compensate for such obstacles.

Q: How long does a heat detector alarm last?

A: Normally up to ten years. JBE products come with a 3-year warranty and a long-lasting lithium battery.

Q: Where should I NOT install the heat alarm?

A: Avoid bathrooms, high-humidity areas, positions with turbulent air flow, areas outside 0-40℃ operating temperature, very dusty locations, A-frame ceiling apexes and poorly-insulated ceilings.

Q: Why disconnect AC power before changing batteries?

A: To prevent shock hazards in case of miswiring. Disconnecting ensures a safe battery swap.

Q: How long is the lead time?

A: Generally 30-35 days, depending on quantity and production arrangement.

Q: How do you treat the customer complaints?

A: All requests and complaints will be replied to within 12 hours.
