The freeze warning in the 5808 is intended to let a dealer and customer know that the device is in trouble do to the fact it may not function below 40 degrees. The wireless motion detector has the same setup. It is not intended to save anything in the building from freezing. Our zone list description reads "Zone 12 second floor smoke detector freeze warning" The ceiling is the last place to install a low temperature sensor. Feel free to share. Joe Sacchetti Catskill Security systems ************************** Response ************************** Thanks for the clarification. This scenario could potentially fall into the "no good deed goes unpunished" category. You don't want to tell the customer that you have gratuitously installed heat detectors when you know that you haven't. Heat sensor to let you know the smoke detector may not function is not a heat sensor. The All in One, whether residential or commercial, requires a Schedule of Equipment and Services in which you detail the equipment and systems you are installing. Many companies use their proposal as the Schedule, which is fine. I'm not so sure it is necessary to even mention that the smoke detector has a heat sensor. That information is likely to confuse the customer without more information. *************************** To order up to date Standard Form Alarm / Security / Fire and related Agreements click here: www.alarmcontracts.com *************************** CONCIERGE LAWYER SERVICE PROGRAM FOR THE ALARM INDUSTRY - You can check out the program and sign up here: https://www.kirschenbaumesq.com/page/concierge or contact our Program Coordinator Stacy Spector, Esq at 516 747 6700 x 304. *********************** ALARM ARTICLES: You can always read our Articles on our website at ww.kirschenbaumesq.com/page/alarm-articles updated daily ******************** THE ALARM EXCHANGE - the alarm industries leading classified and business exchange - updated daily ************************* Wondering how much your alarm company is worth?
