The detector stands just 1.8 inches tall in an ultra-low-profile housing that sits flush against ceilings in finished spaces, and the non-directional smoke chamber eliminates the need to orient the detector toward any particular area during installation. A pulsed LED light source paired with a silicon photodiode receiver provides reliable photoelectric smoke detection, and the built-in sounder delivers local audible notification at the point of detection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe FW-2S is designed for \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/napco\"\u003eNAPCO\u003c\/a\u003e fire alarm panels and compatible 2-wire conventional systems where installers need a dependable detector that simplifies both installation and long-term maintenance. The removable smoke labyrinth allows field cleaning without replacing the detector head, the tamper-resistant locking feature prevents unauthorized removal, and the magnetic Go\/No-Go test capability lets technicians verify detector operation during inspections without climbing a ladder with aerosol cans.
