.etectors are rated by temperature and coverage. For e/ample in ordinary rooms, detectors are rated at (+0 deg F per 1)) sqft. For kitchens, attics and basements #here ambient temperature is higher, units are rated at (2) deg to 1)) deg F.

3. /oni0ation Detector These detectors operate by detecting ioni&ed particles in the air. They do not detect fires producing heavy smoke but fe# particles such as alcohol and plastic fires. 3hotoelectric and Ioni&ation .etectors are classed respectively as early #arning smoke and fire detection devices.
