LOCATING THE ALARMS

Heat Alarms are intended to be supplementary to Smoke Alarms

and should only be placed in areas where smoke alarms cannot be

used.

This heat alarm is a multiple station heat alarm and can be

connected to other alarms of the same make and type. This

interconnect feature allows up to 20 Heat Alarms and / or Smoke

Alarms to be connected together over 150 metres maximum, using

the single white wire, and thus allowing all alarms to sound when

any one is activated.

This Heat Alarm cannot be connected to any other device such as a

fire alarm panel.

This Heat alarm gives a fire warning when the temperature at the

unit reaches 60ºC. It is ideal for kitchens, garages, cellars, boiler

rooms, attics and other areas where there are normally high levels of

fumes, smoke or dust which preclude the use of Heat Alarms due to

the risk of false alarms.

All the Heat Alarms and Smoke Alarms should be interconnected to

ensure 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. A heat Alarm in the closed

room may give early warning of fire in that room.

If your dwelling is on a single storey, for minimum protection you

should fit a Smoke Alarm in a corridor or hallway between the

sleeping and living areas. Place it as near to the living areas as

possible and ensure the audible alarm can be heard when the

bedrooms are occupied. See Figure 1 for examples.

If your dwelling is multi-storey, for minimum protection one Smoke

Alarm should be fitted at the bottom of the staircase with further

alarms fitted on each upstairs landing. This includes basements but

excludes crawl spaces and unfinished attics. See Figure 2 for

examples.

POSITIONING THE ALARMS

Ceiling Mounting

As hot smoke rises and spread out, it is advisable to mount on

a ceiling in a central position. Avoid areas where there is no air

circulation, e.g. corners of rooms and keep away from items

which may prevent the free flow of air. Place the unit at least

300mm from and light fitting or decorative object which might

obstruct smoke / heat entering the alarm. Keep at least 300mm

away from walls. See Figure 3i.

Wall Mounting

Do not mount tight into the corners. Put the top edge of your

heat alarm between 150 and 300mm below the ceiling.

Keep at least 300mm from room corners. See Figure 3i

(Wall mounting is not recommended for Heat Alarms)

On a Sloping Ceiling

In areas with sloping or peaked ceilings install your Heat

Alarm 900mm from the highest point measured horizontally

because “dead air” at the apex may prevent smoke from

reaching the unit. See Figure 3ii.

Areas to be avoided include the following :-

Situations where the temperature may fall below 4

C or rise

above 40

Humid areas such as bathrooms, kitchens, shower

rooms where the relative humidity may exceed 90%

Near a decorative object, door, light fitting, window

molding etc., that may prevent smoke or heat from entering

the alarm.

Adjacent to or directly above hot components such

as radiators or wall vents that can effect the direction

of air currents.

In very dusty or dirty environments such as workshops.

Locate unit at least 1.5m and route wiring at least 1m away for

fluorescent light fittings as electrical “noise” and/or flickering

may affect the unit. Do not wire into the same circuit as

fluorescent lights or dimmers.

Do not locate in insect infested areas. Insects and

contamination on the Heat Alarm sensor can increase its

response time.

INSTALLING THE HEAT ALARM

WARNING – This heat alarm is mains powered and requires wiring

by a qualified electrician in accordance with the current

IEE Regulations for Electrical Installations (BS7671).

The circuit used to power the heat alarm must be a dedicated

permanent supply that cannot be switched off accidentally by the

normal user. Before installing ensure the electrical supply is isolated.

WARNING : To prevent injury, this heat alarm must be securely

attached to the ceiling/wall in accordance with the installation

instructions.

The Heat Alarm will function correctly either as a stand-alone alarm

or inter-connected.

All inter-connected Heat Alarms must be supplied from a single

power circuit.

A common neutral must be used for the interconnect to function.

Do not connect the Inter-connect wire to Live or Neutral.

Figure A

! Important ! A correct AC Quick Connector Plug should have a

Brown, Blue, White wire on it as the configuration on Figure A

above. If the AC Quick Connector Plug does not have the

correct color order, please STOP USING IT and contact your

retailer store immediately to replace for a new AC Quick

Connector.

Disconnect the AC main power from the circuit that is going to be

used.

Having established the mounting location install a junction box

suitable for locating the termination point. Ensure that there is

no other electrical wiring or pipe work in the area adjacent to

the mounting surface.

Unlock the detector unit from the base by push back the snap

lock with a screw driver and turn the alarm unit anti-clockwise to

release it. See Figure 5 and Figure 6

Fix mounting plate in position.

Strip the Live / Neutral and Interconnect (if used) wires.

Connect the wires correctly. If the heat alarms are to be

interconnected, connect the white wire. For Alarm that are used as

single station, DO NOT CONNECT THE WHITE WIRE TO

ANYTHING. Ensure the screws are fully tightened. See Figure 6.

The alarm must be wired in accordance with National wiring

codes.



OPERATING YOUR HEAT ALARM

Once the heat alarm has been installed a small GREEN indicator

light (LED) should be visible through the alarm grill indicating that

AC supply is healthy. A RED indicator light (LED) should also flash

approximately once a minute to indicate the battery is healthy and

the unit is operating properly.

When the Heat Alarm senses temperature above 60ºC (plus or

minus a few degrees), the unit will emit a loud (85dB) pulsating

alarm until the temperature drops below 60ºC. During the alarm

condition, the RED indicator light (LED) will flash quickly

TESTING YOUR HEAT ALARM

It is recommended that you test your Heat Alarm once a week to

ensure the detector is working correctly.

Push and hold the test button for approximately 3 seconds. A loud

pulsating alarm should sound and a RED flashing indicator light

(LED) can be seen to indicate the correct function.

NOTE – for multiple interconnected Smoke / Heat Alarms, only the

RED indicator light (LED) of the originating unit will flash rapidly. All

other units in the interconnect system will sound an alarm but their

RED indicator light (LED) will NOT flash. Test each alarm checking

that the alarm is triggered on all other alarms installed.

MAINTAINING YOUR HEAT ALARM

A fresh battery should last for approximately one year. If the Heat

Alarm emits a short ‘beep’ once a minute the battery is at the end of its

life and should be replaced immediately. This low voltage

warning will be given for at least 7 days. If the red indicator light

(LED) does not flash every minute then replace the battery.

Clean your alarm at least once every six months to prevent dust

build up. This can be done using a vacuum cleaner with the brush

attachment. Clean gently around the front grilled section and sides.

WARNING : The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or

splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be

placed on the apparatus.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

Always TURN OFF the A.C. supply to the Heat Alarm before

replacing the battery. Replace the battery at least once annually, or

immediately when the low battery signal sounds once a minute,

even though the Heat Alarm is receiving A.C. power.

Test the alarm for correct operation using the test facility

whenever the battery is replaced.

WARNING: DANGER OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY

IS INCORRECTLY REPLACED. THE USE OF BATTERIES

OTHER THAN THOSE RECOMMENDED ON THE BACK OF

THE HEAT ALARM MAY BE DETRIMENTAL TO ITS

OPERATION

The battery should only be replaced by a qualified

electrician or similarly qualified person.

LIMITATIONS OF THE HEAT ALARM



Heat Alarms are not designed to protect life safety

against fire and smoke. In most fires, hazardous levels of

toxics gases and smoke can build up before the

Heat Alarm will operate. In cases where life safety is an

issue, Heat Alarms should only be used to provide an

added source of protection.



Heat alarms cannot provide an alarm if heat does not reach the

alarm. Therefore, Heat Alarms may not sense fires starting in

chimneys, walls, on roofs, on the other side of a closed door or on

a different floor.



Home fires develop in different ways and are often

unpredictable. No one type of alarm is always best, and a given

alarm may not always provide warning of a fire.
