Our Mission

Plain and simple – our mission is to keep our customers safe and satisfied.

Headquarters and Personnel

Det-Tronics is a division of United Technology Corporation with headquarters in Minneapolis, MN, USA. At our headquarters and new systems center, we design and manufacture flame detectors, gas detectors, and safety systems. We also maintain a complete fire and gas test facility, one of the largest in the world. With more than 280 employees, 76 representatives, and 18 sales offices around the globe, we are ready to serve you.

Complete Product Line

To offer products that meet our exact requirements, we manufacture (at a component level) many of the flame and gas detectors used in our systems. This characteristic makes us unique among many of the safety system manufacturers.

• Our fire and gas safety systems support addressable-loop and point-to-point architectures — all solutions are highly fault tolerant, configurable detection and releasing systems.
• Our optical flame detectors incorporate the latest technologies in UV, IR, UV/IR, Dual IR, and Multispectrum IR to maximize detection while minimizing false alarms.
• Our gas detectors accurately detect the presence of combustible and toxic gases. The full line includes nanotechnology metal oxide semiconductor (NTMOS), catalytic, electrochemical, and IR absorption technologies.

By offering the widest range of fire and gas detection products, Det-Tronics ensures the right technology for every application.

Global Approvals

Det-Tronics submits products to recognized third-party testing agencies around the world for verification of performance and quality. We were one of the world’s first detection manufacturers to earn and retain the coveted quality approval award, the European ISO 9001. Worldwide, we are also the recipient of hundreds of local and national approvals, certifying that our product has withstood each agency’s most rigorous performance and area-classification tests. In addition, we are a member of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA).

World-Class Product Testing Facility

Det-Tronics maintains one of the most sophisticated fire and gas testing facilities in the world. As we develop new flame detectors, we perform countless tests encompassing a full range of fuel types, fire sizes, and false-alarm sources. Our gas detectors undergo similar testing against possible triggering sources, including attempts to trick the product into false alarm.

24-Hour customer service and support

As a world leader in fire and gas detection, we take extra measures to ensure the best protection and minimize the need for assistance. However, when questions arise, our customer service support team is well prepared.

Det-Tronics maintains a large, highly-trained network of service personnel around the world to support and train our customers. Experts with extensive experience in engineering, customer service, and field applications are ready to assist you.
