2GIG WIRELESS ENCRYPTED SMOKE-HEAT-FREEZE SENSOR. Meets new UL217 8th edition and UL268 7th edition requirements. Designed to recognize smoke from some synthetic materials. Monitors and reports on excessive temperature variations. The Future of residential home security and home management is NOW! The 2GIG Smoke Heat Freeze Detectors are designed to recognize smoke from common synthetic materials and decrease nuisance alarms from everyday cooking. Using advanced detection algorithms and a sophisticated photo-electric optical sensor, these two detectors meet the new UL standards for the year 2020. UL 217 & 268 Smoke Alarm Standards bring 250 new technological changes to traditional smoke detection. Meeting the new UL standards, the 2GIG Smoke Heat & Freeze Detector provides increased performance and better detection of smoke, including smoke from common synthetic materials found in home furnishings. These synthetic materials generally have a faster burn rate reducing escape time from an average of 17 minutes to 3-4 minutes (UL Press Release – February 2018). Traditional smoke detectors trigger an alarm when any smoke density reached a specific level, which could have just been normal cooking events. The 2GIG Smoke Heat & Freeze Detector uses advanced algorithms and a sophisticated optical chamber to improve the detection of smoke particles created by some synthetic materials, separate from organic smoke associated with normal cooking events. The new technology is designed to trigger an alarm faster when synthetic smoke is detected versus smoke from cooking, adding to safety and peace of mind. Optical smoke detection chamber for improved smoke detection. Rate of Rise alert is sent to the panel and. A siren is triggered once the room temperature is 104? F and the temperature rises 15 degrees or more in one minute. Extreme high/low temperature alerts. Long-lasting battery with projected life of 10 years. A permit may be required for this alarm system. Some cities and municipalities may require an alarm system permit. Before installing this system, always ensure that you are in compliance with any national, regional, and local laws. The system cannot be used for ordinance required fire protection in commercial settings. In a commercial setting, it is important to know that the Control Panel is neither designed nor intended for use as a fire protection system. Since 2007, 2GIG has manufactured the most technologically advanced residential security and home automation solutions in the industry. 2GIG built the Go! No stranger to awards, the Go! Control system earned the 2011 Security Product of the Year from the TechHome Division of the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA), the 2011 Best Wireless Security Panel, and 2011 Best in Show at Electronic Security Expo (ESX). 2.0 won the Overall Maximum Impact Award and Best Wireless Alarm Equipment Award ESX. 2GIG is committed to providing customers with cost-effective technology that enables them to manage home automation and security functions from the Go! Control panels’ LCD touch-screen display, the Internet, or their PDA. 2GIG was acquired by Nortek in April of 2013 and placed under the Nortek Security & Control family of products. Nortek Security & Control’s broad array of offerings include access control and security solutions, health and wellness technology products, heating, and cooling equipment, as well as central vacuum, garage door and other solutions for residential and commercial applications. Nortek Security & Control also has an entire line of Z-Wave lighting products, expanding 2GIG’s home control options. We are proud to be the #1 largest installed base for home security & control systems anywhere. There’s a reason for that. We changed the game in the residential security landscape with our industry-shattering color touchscreen GC2 panel.
