The phrase ‘Point Type’ Detector refers to the standard ceiling mounted detector which is shaped roughly like a cone, where the base of the cone contains the sensors for the detector.
Heat Detection is ideal for areas where smoke detection may be set off by the day to day activities taking place. They are commonly used in kitchen areas, plant rooms and low level warehouses.
Point type heat detectors should not be used on ceilings higher than 7.5m for fixed temperature heat detectors, or 9.5m high for rate of rise heat detectors (which detect an unusually rapid increase in temperature).
