Abstract

An electronic heat detector provides a fire alarm with a rapid rate of rise of temperature. The rate of rise indication is obtained from a comparison of outputs from a first temperature sensor which responds rapidly to environmental temperature, referenced to a second temperature sensor which has an intermediate response between that of the first sensor and an electronics board. The second sensor is positioned within a protuberance from the heat detector housing.
