What is the heat alarm?
The Tunstall heat alarm is a wireless, indoor sensor which gives early warning of potential fire in the home and raises an alarm to alert help.
How does it work?
The heat alarm is easily fitted onto the ceiling and raises an alarm if the temperature rises to 58°C.
When activated, the heat detector sounds an audible alarm to notify the person in the property.
At the same time, an alert is transmitted to a monitoring centre via a Lifeline home unit or Tunstall enabled telecare system, to ensure the most appropriate and immediate action.
Who is it for?
It is suitable for anyone living independently who is potentially at risk of fi re within their home.
