Commercial and Domestic Smoke Detectors and Heat Detectors

Prevention is the best form of active protection against fires. Fire detectors act as a warning to give you enough time to take precautionary measures and protect life and property. You can choose from two types of detectors:

Heat Detectors

When temperatures reach exceptionally high levels, heat detectors sound off an alarm.

Smoke Detectors

As soon as there is the smallest sign of smoke, these detectors will warn you of a possible fire. 

 

Extensive Range of Smoke and Heat Detectors

Aside from fire blankets, we also have an extensive range of best in class smoke alarms, heat alarms, and detectors that will cater to every need and meet local fire codes and safety standards. Powered by smart technology, our fire alarm systems are designed to prevent fires originating from almost every possible source within a home, business or office. 

We offer these types of smoke and heat detectors:

Photoelectric Smoke Detectors

Photoelectric smoke detectors are highly effective due to their quick response to low energy smoke particles. These detectors are ideal for providing early warnings in areas where slow, smouldering fires are likely to occur, significantly enhancing safety.

Ionisation Smoke Detectors

Ionisation smoke detectors are designed to react swiftly to flaming fires. They are perfect for environments where fast-flaming fires are a concern, offering quick alerts and improving overall fire safety.

Projected Beam Smoke Detectors

Projected beam smoke detectors are excellent for covering large areas. They use a beam of light to detect smoke across wide spaces, making them ideal for warehouses and large commercial settings. 

Rate of Rising Heat Detectors

Rate of rising heat detectors are designed to sense rapid increases in temperature, providing alerts before temperatures reach critical levels. These detectors offer early warnings, which are crucial for preventing fires in environments where sudden temperature spikes indicate potential danger.

Fixed Temperature Heat Detectors

Fixed temperature heat detectors activate at a predetermined temperature, ensuring reliable fire detection. These detectors are particularly dependable in environments with constant high temperatures, offering consistent and effective fire safety.

Easy Installation and Maintenance

Ensuring your smoke and heat detectors are properly installed and maintained is essential for optimal fire safety. Here’s a step-by-step guide to installing your detectors:

1. Choose the Location

You can install smoke detectors on ceilings or high on walls, ideally in every bedroom, outside each sleeping area, and on every level of your home, including the basement. Heat detectors are best placed in kitchens, attics, and garages where smoke detectors might trigger false alarms.

2. Mount the Detector

Use the mounting bracket that comes with your detector. Secure it to the ceiling or wall with screws. Then, attach the smoke or heat detector to the mounting bracket by aligning it and twisting it into place.

3. Power Up

For battery-operated detectors, insert the batteries. For hardwired smoke or heat detectors, ensure they are connected to the home's power supply, and test the connection.

 

Tips for Maintaining Your Detectors for Optimal Performance

Regular testing is crucial to ensure your detectors are functioning correctly. Here are some maintenance tips you can follow:

 

Ei Electronics Smoke Detector for Home Fire Protection

Made in Ireland, Ei Electronics has been the renowned specialist for fire protection products in the UK since 1963.

The Ei650 is an optical smoke detector, and is fitted with a proprietary photoelectric sensor to quickly sense low energy smoke particles. This optical alarm is sensitive to all domestic fire types but is especially sensitive to smouldering fires, thus protecting you and your family.

The Ei603TYC is a heat detector, and is fitted with a Class A1 sensor that will trigger an alarm when the temperature reaches 58°C ± 4°C. To ensure better effectiveness at detecting fires, it is recommended to use the heat alarm with a smoke alarm to ensure early warning.

If you need help choosing a detector which best suits your needs, you can get in touch with our support team at Falcon and we will be happy to help you. Additionally, we can provide recommendations on the appropriate fire suppression system and fire extinguisher for home and office use.


 

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT SMOKE DETECTORS

 

How Does a Smoke Detector Work?

Smoke detectors work by detecting the presence of smoke particles in the air using one of two main types of sensors: ionisation or photoelectric. Ionisation-type smoke alarms use a small amount of radioactive material to ionise the air between two electrically charged plates. When smoke enters the chamber, it disrupts the flow of ions, reducing the flow of current and activating the alarm. Photoelectric-type smoke detectors use a beam of light directed into a chamber. When smoke particles enter the chamber, they scatter the light, triggering an alarm.

Which Type of Smoke Detector is the Best?

For an optimal fire protection solution, it is advised to use a dual-sensor alarm. This type of alarm uses both photoelectric and ionisation sensors to detect different types of fires. However, more advanced solutions such as multi-criteria or intelligent alarms are becoming increasingly available. These alarms use a variety of sensors, including photoelectric, ionisation, and heat, along with sophisticated algorithms to accurately detect fires and minimise false alarms.

Are Smoke Detectors Required in Singapore?

Under the regulations, home fire alarm devices (HFADs) are mandatory for new residential premises and existing residential premises undergoing fire safety works. It is recommended, but not compulsory, to install smoke detectors in existing residential premises. The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) suggests the use of HFADs with built-in batteries having a lifespan of ten years, which cost around S$50 to S$80 each, excluding installation charges.

What's the Difference Between a Fire Detector and Smoke Detector?

When it comes to detecting and alerting others of potential fire hazards, smoke detectors and fire alarms serve distinct purposes. While smoke detectors are equipped to detect smoke and trigger alarms in specific zones, fire alarms act as a broader warning system that can alert occupants across an entire building or location based on the activation of smoke detectors.

Can a Heat Detector Replace a Smoke Detector?

Smoke detectors and heat sensors serve distinct purposes in fire detection. While smoke detectors are effective at sensing smoke, they may give false alarms when exposed to excessive dust or steam in certain areas. Heat sensors, on the other hand, are useful in such locations as they can detect changes in temperature caused by a fire, without being affected by dust or steam. Therefore, heat sensors are not intended to replace smoke detectors, but rather complement them in areas where they cannot be used.

What are Heat Detectors Best Used For?

To avoid false alarms, heat detectors are frequently installed in rooms where smoke detectors may not be ideal due to excessive dust or fumes, such as garages or cellars. This is because smoke detectors can mistake these particles for smoke or combustible elements in the atmosphere. Additionally, heat detectors are utilised in areas where highly flammable chemicals are stored, as they can detect changes in temperature caused by a fire.
