The Hispec PULSE HSSA/HE/10 is a 230V mains-powered heat alarm with a 10-year rechargeable lithium back-up battery, supplied as a full unit. With a fixed 60°C alarm point, it suits kitchens, garages and other areas where a smoke alarm would give nuisance alarms. It can be hard-wire interconnected with up to 20 alarms, and can be made wireless by adding the plug-in Hispec RF PRO module (HSSA/MOD/RF-PRO). Its sensor is tested throughout manufacture and calibrated for fewer false activations.
