Introduction
The EIB603CX Heat Alarm is a modified version of the standard EIB603C to
enable hardwired connection to a Brooks Residential Fire Alarm Panel (RFAP). The
combination of the Smoke and Heat Alarms with the RFAP provides for a residential
fire alarm system with features and capabilities beyond simple interconnected Smoke
/ Heat Alarms. To fully understand these added features, this leaflet should be read
in conjunction with the manual for the specific RFAP selected and the technical
datasheet for the interface mounting base.
The RFAP externally powers the heat alarm and provides the interconnect facility.
The Heat Alarms can be installed in kitchens and other areas where Smoke Alarms
are unsuitable.
EIB603CX and EIB650iWX are interconnected with hard wiring to the RFAP to give
the loudest alarm sound level throughout the house.
The EIB603CX can be used only with an RFAP, it cannot be used as standalone Heat
Alarm or connected to any other systems. As Brooks are continually developing new
products always check compatibility with the respective RFAP.
The Heat Alarm gives a fire warning when the nominal temperature at the Alarm
reaches 58°C. It is ideal for kitchens, garages, boiler houses and other areas where
there are normally high levels of fumes, smoke or dust i.e. places where Smoke
Alarms cannot be installed without the risk of excessive nuisance alarms. A Heat
Alarm should only be used in rooms adjoining escape routes, in conjunction with
Smoke Alarms on the escape routes.

Heat Alarms EIB603CX are supplementary to Smoke Alarms and must be
interconnected to the Smoke Alarms EIB650iWX to ensure that the early warning
will be heard, particularly by somebody sleeping. A properly designed early warning
fire system ensures the alarm is given before the escape routes become blocked
with smoke. Therefore, there must be Smoke Alarms along the escape routes as
Heat Alarms would not give sufficient warning.
However, a fire in a closed room (e.g. kitchen) adjoining the escape route, can
eventually cause the corridor to become smoke-logged due to smoke leaking out
from around the door before adequate warning can be given by detectors in the
corridor. (Smoke leaking out from a room is often cool and slow moving so it can
take a long time to rise to the ceiling, and travel to a detector which could be some
distance away). A Heat Alarm in the closed room will give early warning of fire in
that room and help overcome this problem.
Locating your Smoke Alarm
The following two examples can be used as a guide line for locating your Smoke /
Heat Alarms to obtain the highest possible sound.
Multi-Storey Dwellings
If your home has more than one storey, at least one Alarm should be fitted on each
level (see Figure 1). The units will be hard-wired interconnected so as to give sufficient
warning throughout the property.
Figure 1 illustrates where Heat Alarms and Smoke Alarms should be located in a
typical two storey house. Note the spacings in “Protection Levels” as given in Figure 1
& 2 which ensure the early detection of fire and that the warning will be heard.

8
Locate Heat Alarms in rooms adjoining escape routes - kitchens, garages, boiler
houses etc. where Smoke Alarms are unsuitable. Install within 5.3m of potential
sources of fire.
Single Storey Dwelling
If the premises is one storey you should put your first Smoke Alarm in a corridor or
hallway between the sleeping and living areas. Place it as near to the living area as
possible, but make sure that it can be heard loudly enough in the bedroom to wake
someone. See Figure 2 for placement example.
In houses with more than one sleeping area, Smoke Alarms should be placed
between each sleeping area and the living area and it is recommended that Heat
Alarms should be placed in the kitchen & garage.
Recommended Protection
Fire authorities recommend you put individual Smoke Alarms in or near all
rooms where fire is most likely to break out (apart from the locations to avoid e.g
bathrooms - see Section 3). The living room is the most likely place for a fire to
start at night, followed by the kitchen (where a Heat Alarm is recommended) and
then the dining room. Consideration should be given to installing Smoke Alarms in
any bedrooms where fires might occur, for instance, where there is an electrical
appliance such as an electric blanket or heater, or where the occupant is a smoker.
In addition, consideration should be also given to installing Smoke Alarms in any
rooms where the occupant is unable to respond very well to a fire starting in that
room, such as an elderly or sick person or a very young child.

Figure 2
For minimum protection
- Smoke Alarm on each storey
- in each sleeping area
- every 7.5 metres of hallways and
rooms
- within 3 metres of all bedroom doors
- all units interconnected
For recommended protection
(in addition to the above):
- Smoke Alarms in every room (except
kitchens and bathrooms)
- Heat Alarms located in kitchens,
garages etc. within 5.3m of potential
fire sources 9
Figure 1
Checking Alarms Can Be Heard
With the Alarms sounding in their intended locations check that the alarm can be
heard in each bedroom with the door closed, above the sound of any TV/audio
systems. The TV/audio systems should be set to a reasonably loud conversation
level. If you cannot hear the alarm over the sound of the TV/audio system, the
chances are it would not wake you. Interconnecting the Alarms will help to ensure
that the alarm will be heard throughout the property.
Positioning
Ceiling Mounting
Hot smoke rises and spreads out, so a central ceiling position is the recommended
location. The air is “dead” and does not move in corners, therefore Smoke & Heat
Alarms must be mounted away from corners. Keep at least 0.3m from walls and
corners (see Figure 3). Additionally, mount the unit at least 0.3m from any light
fitting or decorative object which might prevent smoke or heat entering the Smoke/
Heat Alarm.
We do not recommend wall mounting these Smoke/Heat Alarms.
On a Sloping Ceiling
With a sloping or peaked ceiling install a Smoke or Heat Alarm between 500mm
min. and 1500mm max. of the peak (measured vertically). If this height is between
300mm min. and 500mm max. for Smoke Alarms or for Heat Alarms it is regarded
as being flat (see Figure 4).
