2. Heat detector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_detector

   A residential heat detector. A heat detector is a fire alarm device designed to respond when the convected thermal energy of a fire increases the temperature of a heat sensitive element. The thermal mass and conductivity of the element regulate the rate flow of heat into the element. All heat detectors have this thermal lag. Heat detectors have ...

3. Fire alarm system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_alarm_system

   Fire alarm systems are required in most commercial buildings. They may include smoke detectors, heat detectors, and manual fire alarm activation devices (pull stations). All components of a fire alarm system are connected to a fire alarm control panel. Fire alarm control panels are usually found in an electrical or panel room.

4. Thermal imaging camera - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_imaging_camera

   A handheld thermal imaging camera. A thermal imaging camera consists of five components: an optic system, detector, amplifier, signal processing, and display. [1] Fire-service specific thermal imaging cameras incorporate these components in a heat-resistant, [2] ruggedized, and waterproof housing. [3]

5. Linear heat detection - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_Heat_Detection

   Linear heat detection (LHD) (also known as linear detection wire or linear heat detection cable or linear heat) is a very commonly used method of fire detection. It can detect a fire anywhere along the length of the cable, and can be of lengths in excess of a kilometer. Applications can range from building fire alarm systems to mobile plant ...

7. Flame detector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flame_detector

   A flame detector is a sensor designed to detect and respond to the presence of a flame or fire, allowing flame detection.Responses to a detected flame depend on the installation, but can include sounding an alarm, deactivating a fuel line (such as a propane or a natural gas line), and activating a fire suppression system.

8. Active fire protection - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_fire_protection

   A common, residential smoke detector sounds an alarm when smoke is detected. Fire detection works using smoke or heat sensors. These systems are very effective tool at alerting people in the immediate vicinity of where the fire is detected but building regulations [ 9 ] require an integrated fire detection system.

9. EN 54 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EN_54

   For smoke detectors according to EN 54-7 and fire detectors with smoke sensor (parts 12, 20 and 30 of EN 54) the test fires TF2, TF3, TF4 and TF5 are used. The EN 54-20 defines the following test fires with reduced fuel quantity for aspirating smoke detectors with enhanced or very high sensitivity (class A or B):
