Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for providing point heat detectors based on surface mounted thermistors are described herein. One circuit board for a point heat detector of a fire sensing system includes a circuit board body having number of corners, at least one hole provided in the circuit board body proximate to one of the corners, and a surface mounted thermistor mounted on at least one corner.

Abstract: Information as to a group of devices which are part of a monitoring system, can be accumulated in one or more databases. The databases can be addressed via a computer network, such as the Internet. Monitoring systems can access one or more of the databases seeking identification of those devices that correspond to a selected criterion. A database can provide serial numbers of devices that meet the selected criteria. The respective monitoring system can determine if any local devices have serial numbers that match the received serial numbers. A trouble indicator can be generated in response thereto.
