Probe Type Heat Detector
A heat detector that triggers when the surrounding temperature reaches a set threshold or rises abnormally fast. Because it responds to heat rather than smoke, it works reliably in areas where smoke detectors would false-alarm constantly — kitchens, boiler rooms, dusty workshops, garages and areas with fumes or steam. Typically wired into a conventional or addressable panel as part of a wider detection scheme.
