Specification notes for installers
Grade 2 rating means the AKC-0006 pairs correctly with Grade 2 (or Grade 2/3) control panels where the install spec calls for Grade 2 detection throughout — mixing grades on a single panel typically drops the system's overall compliance grade to the lowest-rated device, so check panel and detector grading match before committing to a schedule.
The quad pyro element and digital temperature compensation are aimed at reducing nuisance alarms from environmental drift (draughts, heating cycles, direct sunlight patches) without derating the 20m/90° coverage envelope. PetWise mode is switchable, so the same SKU covers both pet-free commercial spaces and domestic rooms with small animals present.
Wall mount only, indoor rated — no external/outdoor coverage figures are specified for this unit, so treat internal hallways, rooms and protected areas as the intended zones.
