    Affected products

    Edwards 280 Series Mechanical Heat Detector

     

    Product description

    The product is a mechanical heat detector used in specific indoor applications to detect the presence of an elevated temperature.  It does not detect smoke, nor does it contain an audible notification device as part of the assembly.  This product is professionally installed and used as part of a fire detection system, in places where a smoke alarm would be unsuitable.  In residential settings this product is installed in kitchens, attics and garages for the purpose of property protection, but not life safety.  This detector must be connected to a fire alarm or security panel for monitoring and supervision, as the panel, and not the affected product, drives the connected alarm signals.

    Number sold

    The company estimates that between 275,000 and 382,000 units of the affected product were sold in Canada since 2004.

     

    Time period sold

    The affected products were sold from approximately 1979 to March 2019.

     

    Place of origin
