Installation Guide SMX-AUS Fire Alarm & Emergency Communication System Limitations While a life safety system may lower insurance rates, it is not a substitute for life and property insurance! An automatic fire alarm system—typically made up of smoke detectors, heat detectors, manual call points, audible warning devices, and a fire alarm control panel (FACP) with remote notification capability—can provide early warning of a developing fire.

Installation Guide SMX-AUS Heat detectors do not sense particles of combustion and alarm only when heat on their sensors increases at a predetermined rate or reaches a predetermined level. Rate-of-rise heat detectors may be subject to reduced sensitivity over time. For this reason, the rate-of-rise feature of each detector should be tested at least once per year by a qualified fire protection specialist.
