How the KIR-HD Heat Detector Works
The KIR-HD uses an intelligent heat sensing algorithm to monitor changes in the surrounding air temperature. When the temperature surpasses a fixed threshold of 135 °F (57 °C), the detector initiates an alarm. Alternatively, if the device is programmed in rate-of-rise mode, it detects rapid increases in temperature—such as 15 °F (8.3 °C) per minute—triggering an alarm to provide an earlier warning of fast-developing fires.
This flexibility allows building safety engineers to tailor the fire detection system based on specific environmental needs, ensuring both early warning and reduced false alarms.
