Positioning

Heat alarms are best suited to areas where dust, fumes and moisture can cause nuisance alarms in smoke alarms such as; kitchens, laundry rooms, lofts, and garages. Heat alarms must be ceiling mounted in the centre of the room. They should be at a distance no greater than 5.3m from the farthest wall, no greater than 5.3m from a door to any room in which a fire might start and no greater than 5.3m from the next heat alarm. Heat alarms should not be wall mounted. Thermistek technology activates the alarm sooner if it predicts a significant rate of rise of temperature. Refer to the Manufacturer’s instruction booklet for more information on positioning.

Normal Operation

• The red light will flash once every 45 seconds to indicate normal operation.

Alarm Condition

• The unit will repeatedly sound 3 loud beeps and the red light will flash every second. Check if there is a fire hazard and leave the building immediately.
• DANGER: Never ignore any alarm. If you are not certain of the cause, leave the building immediately.

Alarm Silence

• In the event of a known false alarm you can temporarily silence the heat alarm by pressing the Test/ button. The alarm will automatically return to full sensitivity within 10 minutes.
• NOTE: If the level of heat is very high the alarm silence will be overridden, and the alarm will continue to sound.

Low Battery Condition

If the unit chirps every 45 seconds and the yellow light flashes at the same time, this indicates the battery is running low. The low battery condition will also be reported automatically to the Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) or the local Manager once a day. The telecare transceiver module also contains a battery – this is self-tested once a day, if it’s low for 7 consecutive days a low battery condition will be reported once a week. The complete heat alarm should be replaced as soon as possible within 30 days.

Sleep Easy Feature

• Low battery warnings often start when it is inconvenient to replace the alarm.
• You can silence the audible low battery chirp for a period of 8 hours by pressing the Test/ button. After this period the audible chirp will start again.
• This process can be repeated up to 10 times. The alarm will still detect heat during this time, however it must be replaced within 30 days.

Fault Condition

• If the unit chirps every 45 seconds and the yellow light flashes 20-25 seconds after, this indicates a fault with the heat alarm and it should be replaced immediately.

Out of Range Notification (Reach IP)

The Reach IP can monitor all radio peripheral devices to determine whether they have been damaged or removed from an installation. Should the Reach IP be unable to detect a device’s heartbeat it will automatically generate a “radio out of range” notification. Firstly, investigate if there’s a genuine reason for the alert, if not, arrange for the peripheral device to be replaced immediately. The “Radio out of range timer” can be set from 30 hours to 99999 hours in Pulse CMP. “Radio supervision” can be disabled by unchecking the tick box associated with each peripheral device in Pulse CMP.

Maintenance

• Test the heat alarm once every month.
• Clean once every 3 months using a vacuum cleaner fitted with the soft brush attachment.
• Do not use solvents or cleaners on the heat alarm, the unit can be wiped with a damp cloth.

Disposal

Waste electrical products should not be disposed of with normal household waste. The heat alarm is ideally suited for disposal within the waste electronic and electrical equipment (WEEE) recycling scheme. Please recycle where facilities exist. Check with your local authority or contact your supplier for recycling/disposal advice.

Warning

• The heat alarm contains a powerful Lithium battery.
• If tampered with the battery may be damaged and create a fire hazard.
• No attempt should be made to open the case or remove the battery. Do not incinerate.

How to install the Heat Alarm

• Make sure you have read and understood the instructions on positioning the alarm before starting.
• The base plate must be securely fixed to the ceiling. Use the fixing slots on the base plate as a guide when marking the position of the drill holes.
• Fix with the screws and plugs provided. Alternatively, the base plate can be fixed with the self-adhesive pads provided.
• Ensure the surface is smooth, clean and dry.
• Press hard to make sure the pads are properly adhered.
• Position the alarm on the base plate then twist it clockwise until the alarm is fully locked in position.
• The battery power will now be switched on and the red light will flash once every 45 seconds to show that it is active.

IMPORTANT: when the heat alarm is fitted to the base plate it enters a power-up initialization period. It is possible the first Test/ button press will be missed during this period. All subsequent Test/ button presses will function correctly. Heat will always be detected during the initialization period.

WARNING: Removing the alarm from its base plate will de-activate the unit and prevent it from detecting heat.
