System Sensor SS-PHOTO-T Photoelectric Smoke Heat Detector

Product Description

The SYSTEM SENSOR SS-PHOTO-T is an addressable photoelectric smoke and heat detector sold with a base, designed for use in commercial and life-safety fire alarm systems. It combines photoelectric smoke detection technology with thermal heat sensing in a single device, allowing it to respond to both slow-smoldering fires and rapid temperature rise events. The unit ships complete with its mounting base, simplifying installation on addressable fire alarm control panels. It is typically installed by licensed fire alarm technicians and low-voltage system integrators working on commercial, institutional, or multi-family residential projects.

The SS-PHOTO-T is suited for addressable fire alarm systems in commercial buildings, offices, schools, healthcare facilities, and similar occupancies where code-compliant smoke and heat detection is required. As an addressable device, it communicates its specific location back to the fire alarm control panel, enabling faster identification of the alarm point. The included base allows direct mounting to standard electrical boxes or system-specific bases without the need for additional hardware in most installations.

Key Features

• Dual-technology detection combining photoelectric smoke sensing and thermal heat detection
• Addressable design reports individual device location to the fire alarm control panel
• Includes mounting base for a complete, ready-to-install assembly
• Suitable for commercial and institutional life-safety fire alarm applications
• Sold as a single unit (each)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style addressable smoke and heat detector for use with compatible addressable fire alarm control panels. Consult the system documentation and applicable installation instructions to confirm loop 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. Power down and isolate the addressable loop at the fire alarm control panel before wiring or mounting the detector. Confirm the panel address programming matches the physical device address prior to restoring power. Do not install in environments outside the detector's rated temperature and humidity range as specified in the manufacturer datasheet.
