System Sensor SS-HEAT Fixed Temp Heat Detector with Base

Product Description

The SYSTEM SENSOR SS-HEAT is a fixed temperature heat detector sold as a complete unit with its mounting base included. Fixed temperature heat detectors trigger an alarm when the surrounding air temperature reaches a predetermined threshold, making them well suited for environments where smoke detectors would produce frequent false alarms — such as dusty, steamy, or fume-prone spaces. The SS-HEAT operates on an addressable fire alarm loop, meaning each device reports its individual address back to the fire alarm control panel. Licensed fire alarm technicians and low-voltage contractors are the primary installers of this device.

This detector is designed for use on addressable fire alarm systems in commercial and light industrial applications. Typical installation locations include boiler rooms, kitchens, laundry areas, garages, and other spaces where airborne particulates or humidity would cause nuisance activations with standard smoke detection. The unit ships with its base, eliminating the need to source the base separately and allowing direct installation onto standard electrical box or ceiling mounting surfaces.

Key Features

• Fixed temperature detection triggers at a set temperature threshold without requiring rate-of-rise sensing
• Addressable design allows individual device identification at the fire alarm control panel
• Includes mounting base — no separate base purchase required
• Suited for dusty, humid, or fume-prone environments where smoke detection is impractical
• Single unit quantity per package for straightforward procurement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style addressable heat detector for use on compatible addressable fire alarm control panel loops. Consult the system panel documentation to confirm addressable protocol compatibility before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed fire alarm technician or low-voltage contractor in accordance with NFPA 72 and all applicable local codes. Disconnect and lock out power to the fire alarm loop before wiring the detector to its base. Follow the fire alarm control panel manufacturer instructions for address programming prior to placing the detector into service. Do not install in locations subject to temperatures outside the detector rated operating range.
