Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is an A1R heat detector?
A: A1R is the EN54-5 classification for a heat detector that responds to a rate of temperature rise (rate-of-rise) while also detecting a fixed maximum temperature, giving fast and reliable heat detection.
Q: Is it certified to EN54-5?
A: Yes. The WL-LW500 is EN54-5 A1R certified with EN54-25 wireless link compliance, CE and RoHS marking, and complete test documentation is provided.
Q: Why specify A1R rather than a standard heat detector?
A: A1R units respond to rapid temperature changes much faster than fixed-temperature-only units, which matters in data centres, plant rooms and industrial areas where fast-developing fires must be caught early.
Q: Does it work in the Indian frequency band?
A: Yes. It is configured for IN865-867 MHz, the licensed-exempt LoRaWAN band in India, and joins standard Indian LoRaWAN networks.
Q: What is the delivery time for project orders?
A: Standard production takes 12-15 days and OEM/ODM 15-20 days; samples ship in 5-7 days. Bulk project orders can be scheduled with staged delivery.
