DETECT-A-FIREĀ® detectors are the "heart" of many fire protection systems. The highly reliable D-A-F has been the standard for over 75 years. The D-A-F is used for signalling overheat or fire conditions. In the vast majority of applications, the D-A-F provides the initial heat sensing that is used to activate suppression systems using clean agent, CO2, inert gases, wet or dry chemicals or water.
