STI-9601 Fire Smoke Detector Guard Low Profile Cover

Product Description

The SAFETY TECHNOLOGY INT'L INC STI-9601 is a protective guard assembly designed to shield fire and smoke detectors from accidental damage, tampering, and environmental interference. The unit includes a low profile cover that keeps the overall installation footprint compact while maintaining detector access for service. It fits over standard ceiling- or wall-mounted smoke and heat detectors and is typically installed by fire alarm technicians, electricians, or facility maintenance professionals in applications where detector protection is required by code or site conditions.

The STI-9601 is well suited for commercial and institutional environments where smoke detectors are exposed to physical impact, vandalism, or accidental activation. Typical installation locations include gymnasiums, warehouses, corridors, mechanical rooms, and other areas where detector damage is a known risk. The low profile cover design keeps the assembly unobtrusive in finished spaces while still providing meaningful protection to the detector beneath.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed fire alarm technician or qualified electrician. Before installing or removing the guard, ensure the fire alarm system is placed in test mode with the monitoring station notified to avoid false dispatch. Secure all mounting fasteners fully before returning the system to normal operation. Local fire codes and NFPA 72 requirements should be reviewed to confirm that use of a detector guard is permitted for the specific installation.
