There are heat detectors that combine fixed temperature and rate of increase elements in the same detector.

Heat detectors usually have a label on them that says "Not a multifunction life safety device." That's because heat detectors are not intended to replace smoke detectors, which are placed outside rooms on stairwells and hallways and, along with carbon monoxide detectors, in bedrooms. A heat detector, however, reports a fire in the kitchen or utility area (i.e. laundry room, garage or attic), where smoke detectors should not be installed. This will give you extra time to evacuate the building or put out the fire, if possible.

Mechanical heat detectors are independent fire alert stations that - unlike smoke detectors - can be installed anywhere in a home. Portability, ease of installation and excellent performance and reliability make them a good option for home fire protection, when combined with smoke detectors. Because the detectors are not interconnected, heat activation identifies the location of the fire, making it easier to evacuate the home.

Each type of heat detector has its advantages and it cannot be said that one type of heat detector should always be used instead of another. If a rate-of-rise heat detector is to be placed above a large, closed oven, then each time the door is opened, a nuisance alarm could be generated due to the temporary sudden heat. In these circumstances, the fixed threshold detector would probably be better. If a room filled with highly combustible materials is protected with a fixed heat detector, then a rapidly flaming fire could exceed the alarm threshold due to thermal inertia. In that case, a temperature rise rate heat detector is preferable.

They are detectors that communicate by changing voltage. When the detector activates the temperature sensor, they change the consumption (voltage), pass the signal by being connected by cable to the fire panel") and this activates the entire "zone" (there can be up to 32 detectors per zone) and the panel is activated in ALARM. Activating the 'buzzer' and activating the sirens and/or carrying out maneuvers programmed by the system (closing doors, activating sirens, sending telephone signals).

These detectors are for indoor use with protection between IP20 and IP40, consumption may vary depending on the manufacturer.[4]​.

They are detectors that communicate with the binary system, unlike conventional detectors, they communicate independently with the fire panel" by the 24 V cable that leaves the loop and returns.

These detectors have a programming number that comes from the factory or is established by the final installer of the system (it depends on the brand of the system to be configured).[5]​.

According to the European standard EN 54-5 Temperature Detector. This type of detector must cover a maximum of 30 m² and must be at a maximum height of 6 or 7 meters depending on the class of the A1 or A2 detector.

If the temperature detector is installed with slope the surface to be protected will decrease.[6]​

Los productos de detección de incendio tienen la normativa Europea EN 54 Sistema de Detección y Alarma de Incendios que es obligatoria para la comercialización e instalación de estos productos en cualquier país de la Unión Europea(UE).

La EN 54 parte 5 es obligatoria para el detector de temperatura.

El Comité Europeo de Normalización (CEN) ha estado desarrollando las normas europeas para el libre movimiento de mercancías en los países de la Unión Europea.

EN 54 es ampliamente reconocida alrededor del mundo y en un futuro puede cristalizar en una norma ISO.

Classification

The standard establishes that heat detectors must conform to one of the following classifications:

The suffixes R or S can be added to the classification above.

(reorganizing it and adding the data).

Detectors that do not have a suffix, e.g. A1, B etc, can still have an additional upload speed function. The manufacturer can decide whether or not to display the R suffix.

Currently, several factories are working on the development of wireless detectors based on the EN 54-25 standard Components using radio links and system requirements. They are developing smoke and temperature detectors, but none are certified by the EN54-25 standard, to date.[8]​.

thermovelocimetric detectors, thermofoil detectors or Rate-of-Rise (ROR) heat detectors operate when there is a rapid increase in the temperature of the element of 6.7 to 8.3 °C per minute, regardless of the initial temperature. This type of heat detector can operate at a lower fire temperature limit than would be possible if the threshold were fixed. It has two heat-sensitive thermocouples or thermistors. A thermocouple monitors heat transferred by convection or radiation. The other responds to ambient temperature. The detector responds when the first temperature increases relative to the other.

Rate of rise detectors may not respond to low energy release rates from slow developing fires. To detect the development of slow-growing fires, combination detectors must have a fixed temperature sensing element added, and ultimately respond when the fixed temperature element reaches the design threshold.
