Why are temperature sensors in the alarm system important?

Temperature detectors are a key element of an advanced alarm system. They react to a change in temperature above or below the thresholds, and some models can also alert with rapid heat growth, allowing rapid detection of fire hazards or technical problems in the premises.

Types of temperature detectors offered in MikaShop

• Programmable temperature sensors: They allow you to set alarm thresholds for the upper and lower and signal too fast an increase in temperature — ideal for warehouses, cold stores, server rooms.
• Thermal detectors (warm): They react to a constant or sudden increase in temperature — often used in fire systems.
• Multi-sensor (dym + temperature): They combine smoke detection and temperature detection in one device — an effective and cost-effective place.
• External probes: Sensors allow the external temperature probe to be connected, e.g. outside the building or in technical spaces.

What should you pay attention to when choosing a temperature detector?

• Measurement range: Make sure the detector supports a temperature range suitable for your needs (e.g. from –35 °C to +60 °C).
• Programming thresholds: Models allowing to set different alarm thresholds (upper / lower) give more flexibility.
• Response speed: Check that the detector also alerts at a rapid increase in temperature — crucial for fire applications.
• Alarm outputs: Relay outputs are useful for integration with the control panel or other alarm devices.
• Sabotage: The Tamper functions (e.g. detecting the opening of the housing) protect the detector from manipulation.
• Power supply: Make sure that the device needs a power supply of 12 V DC or another — this will affect the installation.

Most common questions (FAQ)

Can a temperature detector be used as a fire detector?

Yes, heat detectors or programmable detectors (e.g. Satellite TD-1) can alert when the temperature rises, which is useful as a complement to standard smoke detectors.

Where is the temperature detector best installed?

Depending on the application, room detectors are mounted on the wall at mid-altitude, external probes in sensitive places (coilers, warehouses, cold stores).

Does the temperature detector need calibration?

Most alarm detectors are pre-calibrated for alarm thresholds; for design or industrial probes it is worth checking the manufacturer's documentation.
