- WHT-630 includes Wi-Safe® 2 technology, allowing you to wirelessly interlink up to 50 heat alarms, smoke alarms and accessories, which contain Wi-Safe 2 technology. These may be either battery or mains powered.
WHERE TO LOCATE
For the best protection heat alarms should always be installed as part of a complete fire protection system that also includes smoke alarms. Heat alarms are best suited to areas where dust, fumes and moisture can cause nuisance alarms in smoke alarms, such as:
- Boiler rooms
- Kitchens
- Laundry rooms
- Lofts
- Garages
Heat alarms should not be installed in escape routes instead of smoke alarms.
They should only be used in the above applications and where possible be
interlinked to smoke alarms. (Smoke alarms should be installed in circulation
areas forming part of the escape routes and in every room in the house.)
When heat alarms are installed in a room, they should be placed on the
ceiling, ideally 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.
NOTE: HEAT ALARMS SHOULD NOT BE WALL MOUNTED.
Install sufficient alarms to compensate for closed doors and obstacles, which
may interfere with the path of heat to an alarm and may prevent occupants from
hearing an alarm.
IMPORTANT: These heat alarms are intended
primarily for use in single occupancy private dwellings. For use in other
applications the manufacturers advice should be sought.
INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT: Please read ‘WHERE TO LOCATE’ before installing the alarm. Fit
the mounting plate to the ceiling using the screws provided.
To fit the alarm to the mounting plate included in this pack, position the
alarm on the plate, then turn clockwise until the alarm is locked into
position. Make sure that the alarm is twisted fully. The battery will now
activate. The red LED on the front of the alarm should flash once,
approximately every 45 seconds to show that it is active. 
WIRELESS INTERLINK (WHT-630 only)
The WHT-630 heat alarm contains an inbuilt RF module, which enables you to
wirelessly interlink up to 50 Wi-Safe 2 products to create a network.
Therefore the WHT-630 alarms need to be ‘learned-in’ or interlinked in order
to communicate with each other , or other alarms with Wi-Safe 2 technology.
Once a network has been established, if one alarm activates, all other
interlinked alarms will also sound. Please note that WHT-630s can only be
interlinked with other WHT-630s and products within the Wi-Safe 2 range.
The process below describes ‘learning-in’ two alarms into a network, ‘Alarm 1’
and ‘Alarm 2’:
- Install ‘Alarm 1’ as described previously.
- Install the mounting plate for ‘Alarm 2’ in one of the recommended locations. Do not fit the second alarm onto its mounting plate yet.
- On ‘Alarm 2’, using a ballpoint pen or a paperclip opened out, briefly push and release the learn button , located in a circular hole in the back of the alarm.
- The red LED next to the learn button will flash briefly then light up for approximately five seconds to show it’s ready to receive the ‘learn-in’ signal. During these five seconds you will need to briefly press the test button on ‘Alarm 1’ to wirelessly interlink the two alarms.
- ‘Alarm 1’ will give an audible sound consisting of 2 cycles of 3 loud beeps. The red LED on the wireless module of ‘Alarm 2’ will flash to indicate that it has been ‘learned-in’ successfully.
- PLEASE NOTE : If the test button is not pressed quickly enough (before the red LED on ‘Alarm 2’ has gone out), the ‘learn-in’ process will fail. If this happens, repeat the process again, as described above.
- Fit ‘Alarm 2’ onto its mounting plate to complete the installation.
Additional alarms should be ‘learnedin’ in the same way. When ‘learning-in’ additional alarms, any alarm already in the network can be used as ‘Alarm 1’.
This means that you can ‘learn-in’ the additional alarm, into any alarm
already in the network. It will then become part of the network. You do not
have to ‘learn-in’ to each alarm in the network.
After completing the ‘learn-in’ procedure, test the alarms as described in
‘ALARM TEST’. If any interlinked alarm fails to respond to the ‘ALARM TEST’,
remove it from its mounting plate and repeat the ‘learning-in’ process.
Unlearning your Wi-Safe 2 Unit
To remove an alarm from a network, push and release, then push and hold the
learn button. When the red LED goes out, release the button. Once the LED has
flashed 5 times you have successfully ‘Unlearned’ the alarm.
When removing an alarm from any Wi-Safe 2 network it is generally good
practice to “unlearn” every alarm (in the same way as mentioned before) and
rebuild the network once again by following the “learning-in” process.
NOTE: It is important not to rush the Wi-Safe 2 system and is also good
practice to allow several minutes after un-learning the system before
rebuilding the network once again.
ALARM TEST
- Briefly press the test button in the centre and release.
- The unit will give an audible alarm consisting of 2 cycles of 3 loud beeps, then stop automatically.
- The red LED on the alarm will flash rapidly during the audible signal.
As with all electronic alarm products you should test your heat alarm every week, as well as any other interlinked alarms.
WARNING: The electronic test button provides a full test of the alarms functionality. DO NOT try to test the alarm with a naked flame, as this might present a fire hazard in itself.
MAINTENANCE
Vacuum every three months to help keep the unit working efficiently. Vacuum
the exterior. Prevent vacuum from touching the unit.
WARNING: Never attempt to open or damage the battery.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If your heat alarm chirps intermittently:
- Check the location of your alarm.
- If the alarm chirps every 45 seconds and the yellow LED flashes at the same time, this indicates that the battery is low. Replace the unit within 30 days.
- WHT-630 only: If the alarm chirps every 4 hours, another alarm in the network has a low battery and needs replacing.
If the yellow LED is flashing and the alarm is chirping:
- If the yellow LED flashes at a different time to the chirp, this means there’s a fault with your alarm and it needs replacing.
If your heat alarm does not sound during testing:
- Push the centre test button firmly.
- If the unit has been silenced and is in low sensitivity mode, it may not sound. Wait 15 minutes.
- Make sure the alarm is securely located into the mounting plate.
If the alarm fails to operate correctly, the advice of the manufacturer should be sought by contacting Technical Support on: 0330 094 5830. Fire & Rescue customers, call: 0800 141 2561.
DISPOSAL
Waste electrical products should not be disposed of with your other household
waste.
Your alarm does not contain any radioactive material. This means that the
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, retailer or contact our technical
support team for recycling/disposal advice as regional variations apply. Once
the alarm is removed from the mounting plate the internal battery will be
deactivated. The unit is now ready for disposal.
WARNING: Do not attempt to open.
WARNING: Do not burn or dispose of in fire.
