Forest fire early detection system with piezo/bimetallic sensor, and method for operating a forest fire early detection system

Abstract

The invention relates to a forest fire early detection system with a terminal, wherein the terminal has a sensor unit, wherein the sensor unit has a first and a second bimetallic signal transmitter, wherein the two bimetallic signal transmitters are designed differently from one another. The invention further relates to a method for detecting forest fires with the method steps of detecting the amount of heat energy from a first bimetallic signal transmitter of a forest fire early detection system, converting the amount of heat energy into a deformation of the bimetal of the first bimetallic signal transmitter, generating a first signal through the deformation of the bimetal of the first bimetallic signal transmitter.
