Fire/Smoke/Ionization/Heat detectors for RSD on EG4 ESS?

Also, is there likely to be carbon monoxide released from a LFP battery fire?

Smoke alarm with dry contact or 12v relay? To shut down battery bank.

I am not so sure about that. I have a variety of CO and other detectors. Only the ones that say they detect gas do. uhm, but one thing, don't mount on of those near a bathroom. We had an "incident" at christmas one year where a family member was in the bathroom and doing stinky things... the...

I’m about to install an EG4 ESS system comprised of two 18 Kpv inverters and six power pro outdoor batteries in a detatched concrete ‘garage’.

Some of the recent threads on fires and other anomalies have made me consider that it would be useful to have a fire detector with a normally closed contact, that would shut my system down in the event of fire, smoke, ionization, or over temperature.

Anyone has any recommendations on something like this, along with an appropriate power supply option? Obviously, there is 120/240 and 48 V DC available in the detached garage, but I would think there would also have to be some kind of battery back up in case the power failed just before the fire started.

Thanks!

I would imagine this type of system would be standalone and not in any way dependent of the power system.

A simple 12v battery and probably a single panel would cover you here.
