Introduction

This heat alarm uses an NTC thermistor to monitor temperature changes that may be caused by a fire. The faster the temperature rises, the faster the alarm responds to the fire. It is widely used in environments where there are false alarms from cooking fumes, dry ice, or dust, so it can be installed in locations such as attics, garages, and kitchens. This device is Class A1 certified and activates when the temperature reaches a preset range of 129°F (54°C) to 149°F (65°C).
This heat alarm can be interconnected with alarms from the X-Sense Link wireless series including smoke alarms, carbon monoxide alarms, and combination alarms, which will create a wireless home safety network to protect your entire home.

How to Set Up and Interconnect Wireless Alarms
All X-Sense Link+ wireless interlinked alarms contain a built-in RF module that enables you to wirelessly connect 2 or more interlinked alarms and create an interlinked network. When one unit is triggered, all interconnected alarms will sound. The X-Sense Link+ series contain wireless interlinked smoke alarms, wireless interlinked heat alarms, wireless interlinked carbon monoxide alarms, and wireless interlinked combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarms. This model is designed to be wirelessly interlinked with other X-Sense Link+ alarms, but is not designed to communicate with wireless interlinked alarms from other manufacturers.
The wireless interlinked alarms in one multi-pack have already been interconnected to each other, so the alarms in each multi-pack have their own independent interlinked network. If you have more than one multi-pack, you will need to connect them all to the same network, but you do not have to disconnect each alarm individually. Choose one multi-pack as your base network and connect the other multi-packs to it.
NOTE: The following instructions regarding wireless interconnection are applicable to X-Sense Link+ wireless interlinked alarms only.

How to Interconnect

1. Make sure you only work with 2 units at a time, and that they are both turned on to ensure successful connection.
   NOTE: To turn on the alarm, switch the ON/OFF button to the ON position. To learn how to turn on different models of wireless interlinked alarms, please refer to their specific user manuals for more details.

2. Quickly press the pairing button on the back of one of the 2 units 4 times; it will beep once and the LED will flash red slowly, indicating it has entered pairing mode and is waiting for a new unit to be added. Quickly press the pairing button on the other unit twice; it will beep once and the LED will flash red rapidly, indicating it is searching for a unit to connect to.

3. After the search is successful and an interconnected group is created, both units will beep once and automatically exit the interconnection mode. At this point, both units will only flash once every 60 seconds, indicating they are in normal standby mode.

4. If you want to connect a third alarm to this group, first activate the new device according to its operating instructions, and then quickly press the pairing button on either of the 2 previously interconnected units 4 times. This unit will beep once and the LED will flash red slowly, indicating it is ready to add a new device to the network. Next, quickly press the pairing button on the new unit twice, and the LED will flash red rapidly as it searches for a network to connect to. After the third unit successfully joins the interconnected network, both units will beep once and automatically exit the interconnection mode.

5. If you want to connect more units, simply repeat step 4. Up to 24 alarms can be interconnected this way. To ensure that all alarms enter the same interlinked network, make sure you only work with 2 units at a time—one unit enters the pairing mode and the other unit enters the searching mode.

6. Test the alarms according to the steps in the section “Alarm Test”.

NOTES

1. The alarm will enter the searching mode or the pairing mode for 60 seconds with the LED flashing red. After 60 seconds, repeat step 2 to connect the alarms. If needed, press the pairing button once while the alarm is in the searching mode or the pairing mode, and the LED will stop flashing red and the alarm will quit the pairing mode to enter normal status.
2. Test all wireless alarms to ensure they are interconnected before installation.
3. A maximum of 24 wireless alarms can be interconnected on the same network.
4. The model can only be interconnected with other X-Sense Link + wireless interlinked alarms.

How to Disconnect
Press the pairing button 4 times; the alarm will beep once. Then, hold down the pairing button until the unit beeps once more to disconnect. After disconnecting, it can be reconnected to the same network, or added to a new network.
NOTE: The X-Sense Link+ wireless interlinked alarms in one multi-pack have already been interconnected. To create a new network, you will first need to disconnect each alarm individually in this multi-pack to avoid having them all join the same network.
Alarm Mode
X-Sense Link+ wireless interlinked alarms can be interconnected such that any unit that senses danger will cause all other units in the interconnected network to alarm.

1. If the Initiating Unit Is Triggered by Smoke/Heat:
   When one smoke/heat alarm is triggered in the interconnected network, the unit will beep 3 times, paired with the LED that flashes red every 4 seconds. Any other interconnected units will follow suit—they will beep 3 times every 4 seconds, paired with the LED flashing red and green in succession.

2. If the Initiating Unit Is Triggered by CO:
   When one CO alarm is triggered in the interconnected network, the unit will beep 4 times every 5.8 seconds, paired with the LED flashing red. Any other interconnected units in the network will follow suit—they will beep 4 times every 5.8 seconds, paired with the LED that flashes red 4 times first, followed by the LED that flashes green once with every beep. When the CO concentration level drops below the alarm threshold, the alarm will cease.

NOTES

1. When one unit is triggered, other interconnected units will sound. If the smoke alarm, heat alarm, and CO alarm in the network are all triggered at the same time, the alarm signal of the smoke alarm will take priority, followed by the heat alarm and CO alarm.
2. This alarm has a relay function that extends the wireless interconnected network for wide detection coverage.

Alarm Test
Be sure to test your alarms when you turn them on for the first time, or when the group configuration has changed. In addition to the weekly tests you should perform, it is recommended to test the alarm after returning from a long trip or vacation.
If your X-Sense Link+ alarm is interconnected to other X-Sense wireless alarms, we recommend that every individual alarm is tested during the weekly test.

| Test a single alarm| Test all interconnected alarms
---|---|---
Action| Press the test/silence button.| Hold down the test/silence button.
Indication| • The alarm will beep 3 times every 4 seconds.
• The LED will flash red 4  times every 4 seconds.

• Other interconnected units in the network will receive the signal after 5 seconds, then they will beep continuously with the LED flashing red and green successively. Release the
test/silence button and all the units will stop testing.
• The testing of the units should be completed within 3 minutes.
• After testing, the units will automatically enter standby mode.

Location and Placement

The installation of heat alarms is part of a fire alarm system and is used in conjunction with smoke alarms but not as a substitute for the functions of smoke alarms. Heat alarms are suitable for installation in the following locations:

1. Where possible smokeless fire may occur;
2. Where a lot of dust and dirt are accumulated;
3. Places where smoke or vapor is trapped under normal conditions, such as smoking rooms;
4. Kitchens, boiler rooms, generator rooms, drying rooms, and other places where smoke alarms should not be installed;
5. Other places where no one stays and is not suitable for installing smoke alarms, but an alarm is needed when a fire occurs.

NOTE: This product is suitable for indoor use such as in kitchens, attics, drying rooms, laundry rooms, smoking rooms and where smoke alarms should not be installed.
Location in Your Home
To effectively protect against fire hazards, we recommend installing a complete fire protection system:

1. On every level of your home, including finished attics and basements;
2. Inside every bedroom or adjacent hallway to every sleeping area. If a room or hallway is longer than 40 feet (12 m), install a device at each end;
3. In every room containing a fuel-burning appliance;
4. In all rooms, hallways, and storage areas where the temperature is usually between 40-100°F (4.4-37.8°C).

IMPORTANT:
The intended primary use of these heat alarms is in single-family homes. For use in other applications, the manufacturer’s advice should be sought.
Placement on a Wall or Ceiling
When heat alarms are installed in a room, the most effective mounting location for the heat alarm is on the ceiling in the center of the room. The alarm should be at a distance less than 17.4 ft (5.3 m) from the farthest wall, door to any room in which a fire might
start, and the next heat alarm.

1. Prioritize the installation of a heat alarm in the kitchen and furnace room, and make sure you can hear the alarm from all sleeping areas. If you have a lot of rooms, make sure you have heat alarms installed in your hallways and attics.
2. Install heat alarms in every room where a smokeless fire may occur.
3. Heat, smoke and anything burning will spread horizontally after rising to the ceiling, so install the alarm in the middle of the ceiling where possible. Ensure that the alarm is installed at the minimum distance away from the corner.
4. If an alarm cannot be installed in the middle of a ceiling, install it at a distance of 20 inches (50 cm) away from the corners of the room.
5. If an alarm is installed onto a wall, a distance of 4–12 inches (10–30 cm) should be kept below the ceiling.
6. If the length of a room or hall is beyond 30 feet (900 cm), several alarms should be installed in the same room.
7. When the wall or ceiling is angled, the alarm needs to be installed within 3 feet (90 cm) of the highest wall or ceiling point (measured horizontally) in the room.

NOTE: If you install the alarm on a sloped ceiling, place it at least 4 inches (10 cm) from the peak. Keep the device at least 5 feet (1.5 m) from potential heat sources such as stoves, furnaces, water heaters, and space heaters.
Locations to Avoid
Improper location can have a negative impact on device performance and may cause false alarms. To promote accurate detection and full protection of your home, do not install this heat alarm:

1. In areas where temperatures may be below -20°F (-28.9°C) or above 100°F (37.8°C).
2. In front of forced air ducts for heating and air conditioning systems, near ceiling fans, or other high airflow areas.
3. Near fluorescent lighting—the heat generated by fluorescent lighting may cause a false alarm.

Installation

1. Use the mounting bracket to mark the screw holes on the ceiling or the wall.
2. Drill holes at the 2 marks using an appropriately-sized drill bit. Insert the anchor plugs and screw the mounting bracket using the screws provided.
3. Attach the alarm to the mounting bracket and turn clockwise to lock the alarm.
4. Test the alarm according to the steps in the section below.

NOTE: The test function accurately tests the alarm’s heat sensing circuit without the need to test with fire. If your alarm fails to emit an audible test signal, refer to the troubleshooting guide at the end of this manual immediately. Never use an open flame to test this device.

NOTES

1. Battery life is calculated on the current ratings in the standby mode with weekly testings. If its operation mode changes to an alarming condition, the battery life will be decreased accordingly.
2. The heat alarm functions between 40 and 100°F (4.4 and 37.8°C). Prolonged exposure to temperatures outside of this range can reduce battery life and affect accuracy. We do not recommend operating the device outside of this range.

Maintenance

To keep your heat alarm in good working order, follow these simple steps:

1. Verify the unit’s alarm sound and indicator are working properly by testing the unit once a week.
2. As a minimum your heat alarm should be cleaned once every 3 months: Remove the unit from the ceiling and clean the alarm cover and vents with your vacuum cleaner fitted with the soft brush attachment to remove dust and dirt.
3. Never use detergents or other solvents to clean the unit.
4. Avoid spraying air fresheners, hair spray or other aerosols near the alarm.
5. Do not paint the unit. Paint will seal the vents and interfere with the sensor’s ability to detect fire.
6. Never attempt to disassemble the unit or clean inside. Doing so will void your warranty.
7. When removed, place the heat alarm back in its proper location as soon as possible, to assure continuous protection from fire.
8. When household cleaning supplies or similar contaminants are used, the area should be ventilated.
