Silent Knight SK-PHOTO-T-W. Smoke & Heat Detector.

Silent Knight SK-PHOTO-T-W Smoke & Heat Detector

The Silent Knight SK-PHOTO-T-W Smoke & Heat Detector offers dependable multi-criteria fire detection by combining photoelectric smoke sensing with fixed temperature heat detection. Designed for use with Silent Knight addressable fire alarm systems, this detector enhances life safety through rapid and accurate response to both smoldering and flaming fires.

Its low-profile white housing blends well into modern interiors, making it a practical choice for schools, hospitals, commercial properties, and residential buildings.

Dual Detection for Greater Accuracy

This model uses a photoelectric sensor to detect smoke particles and a thermal sensor to monitor rising temperatures. The combination of both technologies reduces the likelihood of false alarms while improving detection speed. While the smoke sensor reacts to particles produced by slow-burning fires, the heat sensor activates when the ambient temperature reaches a fixed threshold.

Because of this dual functionality, the SK-PHOTO-T-W delivers early warning in a wider range of fire scenarios than single-sensor devices.

Intelligent Addressable Design

As part of the Silent Knight addressable system, this detector communicates directly with compatible control panels. It provides real-time status updates and operates under a unique device address, which helps identify the precise location of fire conditions. This level of system integration supports targeted evacuation procedures and faster emergency response.

In addition, control panels can monitor, test, and reset the detector remotely, which helps streamline system management.

Easy Installation and Maintenance

The SK-PHOTO-T-W mounts easily using standard detector bases, reducing labor time for installers. Its plug-in design simplifies wiring and allows for quick device replacement without disturbing connected equipment. Technicians can also identify detector status using the onboard LED, which flashes for normal operation and provides visual alerts during alarms or faults.

Routine maintenance is straightforward, with field-replaceable components that make servicing cost-effective.

The Silent Knight SK-PHOTO-T-W Smoke & Heat Detector combines intelligent sensing, reliable performance, and modern design to meet the needs of diverse building environments. With dual detection technology and seamless panel integration, it improves fire response and supports compliance with safety codes. Whether you’re installing in a new building or upgrading an existing system, this detector offers protection you can trust.
