You appear to know what you’re talking about. I am dealing with a plan to install the FAPT-851 devices in an existing hotel here in Canada. Their intent is to catch people who smoke in their hotel rooms. The building is already sprinklered (so there are heats in the rooms) and there are hard-wired smoke alarms in the rooms (not detectors). They have submitted a plan for approval that will upgrade the panel to an addressable Notifier NFS2-3030 and install the FAPT-851 devices in the suites in addition to the existing detection devices. They claim they can dial up the smoke sensitivity (I thought these smart detectors automatically adjust their sensitivity) so that a smoke activation will produce a trouble on the panel and never an alarm. However they also claim the heat detector can produce an alarm condition to the panel.
I’m new, so please be patient. My question is: Can the device be programmed to only generate a trouble alarm on smoke sensor activation and fire alarm on heat sensor activation.
Patiently awaiting your sage response I remain,
