Product description
The product is a mechanical heat detector used in specific indoor applications to detect the presence of an elevated temperature. It does not detect smoke, nor does it contain an audible notification device as part of the assembly. This product is professionally installed and used as part of a fire detection system, in places where a smoke alarm would be unsuitable. In residential settings this product is installed in kitchens, attics and garages for the purpose of property protection, but not life safety. This detector must be connected to a fire alarm or security panel for monitoring and supervision, as the panel, and not the affected product, drives the connected alarm signals.

What you should do
Consumers who use the product in life-safety applications should contact a fire alarm professional of their choice for replacement options.
