Heat Detector LOGILINK SC0232, Class A1 (54–65°C) Heat Alarm, White, ~85 dB

The LOGILINK SC0232 heat detector is a wall- or ceiling-mounted thermal alarm designed to detect sustained rises in ambient temperature between 54°C and 65°C and to emit an audible alarm of approximately 85 dB. Its Class A1 detection profile makes it suitable for locations where smoke detection is not appropriate, providing a straightforward heat-triggered alert to occupants. The device is finished in white and intended for domestic and light commercial environments where early heat detection can improve response time to developing fires.

Advantages

The heat detector provides reliable Class A1 heat sensing with a defined activation range of 54–65 °C and an integrated audible alarm around 85 dB to draw attention when heat levels indicate a potential fire. Its thermal-only sensing principle reduces false alarms in environments with normal smoke or steam, such as kitchens or garages, where smoke detectors may be unsuitable. The compact white housing enables discreet installation on ceilings or walls, and the device requires minimal user interaction once installed.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Residential kitchens where cooking smoke and steam trigger conventional smoke alarms
• Garages and workshops with dust, fumes, or exhaust that may cause false smoke alarms
• Boiler rooms or utility spaces with potential for temperature rise but limited airborne smoke
• Basements and storage rooms where heat buildup rather than smoke is the primary risk

When it may not be suitable

This heat detector is not a replacement for comprehensive fire detection systems that require multi-criteria sensing or networked alarm functions. It does not detect low levels of smoke or slow-smoldering fires that do not produce a sustained temperature increase into its activation range. In environments requiring monitored, zoned, or legally certified fire alarm systems, this standalone heat alarm may be insufficient.

Key specifications

• Detection class: A1 (thermal detection)
• Activation temperature range: approximately 54 °C to 65 °C
• Alarm output: approximately 85 dB audible signal
• Colour: white
• Mounting: ceiling or wall installation

How to use

Install the heat detector on a ceiling or high on a wall in the protected area following the manufacturer’s mounting instructions. Ensure the chosen location is free from obstructions that could shield the sensor and not directly adjacent to ovens, heaters, or other local heat sources that could cause nuisance activation. After mounting, power the device as specified in the product instructions and test the alarm to confirm it sounds at the expected level. Routine visual inspection and occasional functional tests are recommended to maintain reliable operation.

What to consider before purchase

• Whether heat-only detection meets local fire safety regulations or insurance requirements
• Environmental factors: proximity to normal heat sources that could cause false triggers
• Need for interconnected or monitored alarm systems versus standalone devices
• Mounting location and height to ensure correct thermal sensing

Usage recommendations

Position the detector away from routine heat sources and install it at ceiling level where heat accumulates. Test the alarm after installation and perform periodic checks. Use this heat detector in conjunction with appropriate smoke detection and alarm systems where comprehensive coverage is required.
