Heat detectors are used to alert people that a fire may have started.  Unlike smoke detectors, they do not respond to smoke; rather, they are designed with sensors that are triggered when a certain temperature is reached or when the temperature rises at a certain rate.

The best places to use heat detectors are those areas in which it is impractical to have smoke detectors, such as kitchens.  Kitchens are prone to small amounts of smoke from cooking, so having a smoke detector there would be more of a nuisance than a help.  A heat detector offers protection in the kitchen, where changes in temperature may indicate the presence of fire.

Since most fires are detected more quickly by smoke detectors than with heat detectors, heat detectors are not a replacement for them; rather, they should be used as a supplement to the protection offered by smoke detectors.

Honeywell’s 5809 wireless fixed heat and rate-of-rise temperature sensor offers expanded fire detection and installation flexibility. It is ideal for hard to wire locations and applications that require more than smoke detection. With no wires to run, the 5809 is fast and easy to install.

The 5809 combines both rate-of-rise and fixed temperature sensors.

Fires typically cause a rapid rise in temperature in the surrounding area. The 5809’s rate-of-rise thermostat senses the rise in temperature and signals an alarm if the increase is 15° or more per minute.

A built-in fixed temperature sensor will also signal an alarm if the environmental temperature rises above 135°F.

Features:

• Contains a built-in transmitter which can send alarm, supervisory and battery condition messages to the system’s receiver/control unit
• Powered by a three-volt lithium battery. If the battery voltage gets too low, the 5809 sends a low battery signal to the control panel
• Features a tamper switch, which causes a trouble signal to be sent to the control if the unit is removed from the mounting base

You can’t be at your business 24/7, but we can.  Installing Honeywell motion sensors in your business enables you to harness the power of Honeywell’s technology for your protection.

In an intrusion detection system, the motion detector is a wall-mounted sensor that detects motion within the protected area, and then analyzes the motion to determine if an actual intruder causes it.

When the motion detector determines that an intruder causes the motion, it sends a data message to the system control panel for processing.

When there is no motion in the protected area, the motion detector sends a data message to the control panel, indicating that the area is in a normal, idle condition.

Users see status and alarms from the sensor at the local keypad. The control panel can also send a message to the monitoring station.

Reasons to Choose this Sensor

The motion detector provides some important advantages. To provide better analysis of motion within an area, we included Dual-Tec™ technology: Passive Infrared (PIR) and Microwave detection. The detector continuously supervises both PIR and Microwave channels to ensure maximum performance. Advanced dual-slope temperature compensation allows the detector to automatically compensate for background temperature variants by dynamically setting the sensor’s gain to the most effective level.

To minimize false alarms caused by air conditioners and heaters, we included the capability for automatic adaptation to environmental disturbances. An infinite rejection of disturbances caused by fluorescent lights, with a patented digital filter, further reduces the likelihood of false activations.

For more accurate calibration of the sensing regions, we included a special environmental test feature, which allows installers to check for environmental disturbances on both the PIR and microwave at the same time. For the best security against tampering, we provided tamper switches on the front cover and the back of case.

Design Considerations

Locate the motion detector on a wall inside of the protected area. For best results, locate the motion detector in a corner, or on a wall that is perpendicular to the door and windows. Avoid aiming motion detectors at moving displays, vents, or directly at windows.

Honeywell solutions help you shoulder the burden of asset management and control, so you'll have the freedom to operate your properties with the peace of mind that comes from feeling better informed and being fully protected.

Intrusion Detection systems sense a number of events that indicate unauthorized entry into a facility during times when no one should be present.

In today’s facility, it is typical to include door/window position sensors, motion detectors, glassbreak detection, and panic buttons.

Solving Intrusion Issues

There are a number of critical issues that are solved with an intrusion detection system.

Unauthorized entry through doors: Intruders can open a door in many ways, including using prying tools, torches, or even an issued key to the lock. No matter how the door is opened, the door position sensor detects the opening and reports its status to the control panel for processing.

Protecting Glass Windows: Entry by breaking glass windows is a common method of unauthorized entry into a facility. Glassbreak detectors sense the sound of breaking glass, and then activate the alarm condition while the intruder is still outside, often thwarting the attempt. Finding glass break detectors that successfully sense glass breakage from different types of glass like Tempered, Laminated, Coated, Wired, Plate, and others is no longer a challenge. Honeywell offers the most effective glass break sensor for all types of glass.

Unauthorized entry through walls and roofs: Some unauthorized entries are achieved by cutting through walls and facility roofs. Motion detectors sense movement within protected rooms and departments of the building. While the Intrusion Detection System is armed, an activated motion detector causes a local alarm and sends a message to a central monitoring station.

Crisis during work hours: When intruders arrive during business hours, employees are often inhibited from using the telephone to call authorities. A panic button allows for a discrete, undetected method of calling for help. You can locate a panic button below counters and desktops to provide users with an easy, yet subtle method of notifying the authorities.

You can be very specific as to who shall respond to a panic situation, and you can have many panic buttons for many purposes.
