Fire Protection
Prepare for the unexpected...
Last year more 3,000 civilians, one every 162 minutes, were killed in residential fires. In addition, firefighters responded to over 500,000 residential fires which destroyed nearly $7 billion in property.
It is vital that you take positive steps to ensure the safety and protection of your family and property. The addition of monitored smoke detectors to your Simplx Security alarm system provides you with the protection and peace of mind you deserve.
Even if you forget to activate your alarm system, a Simplx Security wireless smoke detector is continuously monitored, to ensure you are always protected.
Wireless Smoke Detector
Our Wireless Smoke Detector features a built-in heat sensor. This allows the sensor to detect heat over 135°F which is beneficial in situations where heat reaches the sensor before any smoke. This sensor also features a 15°F Rate of Rise per minute. So if the temperature rises faster than 15°F in less than 60 seconds, typically indicating a fire, the system will detect it. The sensor is most effective in stairways between floors or in a central hallway.
