What are specialist sensors?

Speciality detectors are sensors that go beyond typical motion detectors or magnetic contactors. They are used to detect less standard but equally dangerous threats — such as water flooding, temperature surges, shocks, vibrations, and carbon monoxide. Thanks to them, your alarm system becomes comprehensive and responds to many emergency scenarios.

Main types of specialist detectors

• Flood detectors/water detectors: They detect liquids where they should not be — e.g. in basements, boiler rooms, or under washing machines. Example of the SWD-1000 flood probe. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
• Temperature detectors: They react to rapid increase or drop in temperature — protecting against fire, but also from freezing the installation. {index=1}
• Carbon monoxide detectors (CO): They detect hot — odourless and very dangerous gas. CO sensors can be connected to the alarm system or used autonomously. {index=2}
• Universal detectors / multi-function detectors: Models that can operate in different modes — e.g. shock detector, magnetic detector, flooding (Satel XD–2). {index=3}

Why is it worth investing in specialist detectors?

• Increased safety: They respond to unusual threats that can escape traditional sensors. {index=4}
• Integration with SSWiN: The detectors can be connected to the emergency control unit, which allows to send alarm messages or activate sirens.
• Installation flexibility: Wire and wireless models are available, allowing them to be mounted even in difficult places.
• Protection of property and infrastructure: They provide early warning against flooding, fire (by temperature rise) or CO poisoning.

What should I draw attention to when selecting special sensors?

• Detection range: Check the specification — e.g. the flood detector, how many probes can handle, or the temperature sensor, what temperature range is measured. {index=5}
• Power supply: Should the device work on the battery, or will it be connected to the 12 V power supply?
• Communication: Do you need a radio sensor (wireless) or a wire (alarm contact)?
• Sabotage/security: It is worth that the detector has the function of "tamper" (detection of the opening of the housing).
• Place of installation: The flood detector should be mounted low (e.g. by the floor), the temperature detector – where heat or cold is possible. {index=6}

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Can the flood detector function as part of the SSWiN system?

Yes — many flood detectors can be connected to the emergency control unit, so that the flooding activates the alarm and alerts the system.

Where is the best place to install a temperature or flooding detector?

The flooding probe shall be mounted low, by the floor or near a potential source of leakage. The temperature detector should be placed in a place where the temperature spike can occur – e.g. boiler room, server room. :contentReference[oaicite:15]{index=15}

Does the CO detector have to be replaced after a certain time?

Yes, CO electrochemical sensors have limited service life. After a few years (usually 5–10) it is worth considering replacing the detector for accuracy and safety.
