Smoke Detector Ferguson FS2SD-GSM with GSM Alert Functionality

Ferguson FS2SD-GSM is a compact smoke detector with integrated GSM alert functionality designed for continuous smoke sensing and remote notification. The unit monitors air for smoke particles and triggers an audible alarm locally while simultaneously sending GSM messages to predefined phone numbers, enabling faster awareness of fire events in homes or small businesses. The detector is intended to be mounted on ceilings or high walls and operates independently without the need for a wired alarm panel.

Advantages

The Ferguson FS2SD-GSM combines standard smoke detection with cellular alerting, removing dependence on a central alarm system and enabling direct notifications to mobile phones. Its integrated GSM capability allows for immediate remote alerts when smoke is detected, while the local audible alarm provides on-site warning. The device’s compact design and simple installation make it suitable for retrofit and new installations where wired networks are impractical.

Suitable for

• Homes and apartments requiring autonomous smoke detection and remote alerting
• Small offices and retail premises without central alarm monitoring
• Vacation properties and rental units where remote notification to owners is needed
• Garages, workshops, and utility rooms where early smoke detection is important
