AVTECH's Smoke Sensor w/Escape Light is a battery-
powered smoke detector with additional electronics that
allow it to interface with Room Alert as a switch sensor; you
may set up and receive alerts remotely when the switch
state changes to assist your IT staff in monitoring and
protecting your valuable IT equipment.
The Smoke Sensor monitors the air, and when smoke
reaches its sensing chamber, it alarms. This unit will not
sense gas, heat, or flame.
