HOW TO INSTALL THIS HEAT ALARM
THE PARTS OF THIS HEAT ALARM
This Heat Alarm is designed to be mounted on any standard wiring junction box to a 4-inch (10 cm) size, on either the ceiling or wall (if allowed by local codes).
Read “Recommended Locations For Heat Alarms” and “Locations to Avoid For Heat Alarms” before you begin installation.
Tools you will need: • Needle-nose pliers or utility knife • Standard Flathead screwdriver.
Fixed Temperature and Rate-of-Rise.
This Heat Alarm monitors the air and when heat reaches the sensor, it alarms.
The unit will alarm either when the temperature reaches a fixed 135º F (57º C) or
the microprocessor detects a 15º F (8.3º C) per minute rate of rise temperature
change. This allows the unit to sense a heat rise and alarm prior to reaching the
fixed temperature of 135º F (57º C), providing quicker response to a potential fire.
Heat Alarms are intended for use as supplemental safety devices with Smoke
Alarms. Heat Alarms are designed for use in areas where Smoke Alarms
cannot be installed due to temperature and environmental conditions, as in
unheated garages and crawl spaces. A Heat Alarm can only give early warn-
ing of a developing fire if it is properly installed and maintained and located
where heat can reach it. The unit will not sense gas, smoke or flame. Heat
Alarms cannot prevent or extinguish fires.
This Heat Alarm is approved for use in single-family residences. It is NOT
designed for marine or RV use.
