G. The detector electronic circuitry shall be of highest possible reliability and protected
against voltage spikes and surges. The detector shall be capable of operating
satisfactorily under a reasonable variation in supply voltage, such as may normally
occur in service due to charge and discharge of the alarm system battery.
H. The detectors shall suit a temperature range of -10ºC to 60ºC.
I. There shall be twin LEDs on each detector head so that the alarm condition of the
detector can be seen from all directions. Upon determination of an alarm condition, the
LEDs shall be latched on.
J. The detector shall be of low profile type. The total height of the detector mounted on
the base shall not be more than 50mm. Recess mounting type detector base is not
acceptable.
