V-PS and V-PHS optical detectors continuously adjust their sen-
sitivity to compensate for changes in the environment such as the
presence of dirt, smoke, temperature, and humidity. These detec-
tors issue a dirty sensor warning when they reach their preset limit.

Heat Detectors Detector Bases
The V-Series heat detectors are capable of performing compre-
hensive self-diagnostics and storing the results.
4 in. square electrical box
Thanks to advanced thermistor technology, V-Series heat detectors
are ideal for sensing fast, flaming fires and for applications where
smoke detection is inappropriate. They are particularly well-suited
to areas such as kitchens and shower rooms, where the ambient
temperature is relatively constant, but where steam and smoke are
present.
