This product is designed to be used with a Control Panel as part of the Fire and Life Safety signaling device. This product has two thermistors capable of detecting changes in temperature in the event of fire. Parts List One Heat Detector Two CR123A lithium batteries Mounting Plate Mounting Screws and Anchors User Guide NFPA Guidelines The required protection in NFPA 72 National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code 2013 Edition utilizes smoke alarms as the primary life safety equipment for providing a reasonable level of protection against fire. The installation of additional alarms of either smoke or heat type should result in a higher degree of protection. NFPA 72 Chapter 29 does not require heat alarms or heat detectors as part of the basic protection scheme; it is recommended that the householder consider the use and placement of additional heat detectors. For example, additional heat alarms or heat detectors should be considered but not limited to, the following areas: kitchen, dining room, attic (finished or unfinished), furnace room, utility room, basement, and integral or attached garage. NFPA 72, 29.8.4.3 Heat detectors or alarms shall be mounted on the ceiling at least 4 in. (100 mm) from a wall or on a wall with the top of the detector or alarm not less than 4 in. (100 mm), nor more than 12 in. (300 mm), below the ceiling. Exception: When the mounting surface could become considerably warmer or cooler than the room, such as a poorly insulated ceiling below an unfinished attic or an exterior wall, the detectors or alarms shall be mounted on an inside wall. NFPA 72, Install Heat Detectors on sloped, peaked or cathedral ceilings at or within 3 ft. (0.9m) of the highest point, (measured horizontally) 29.8.4.2 states For sloped ceilings having a riser greater than 1 ft. in 8 ft. (1 m in 8 m) horizontally, the detector or alarm shall be located within 36 in (910 mm) of the peak. The spacing of additional detectors or alarms, if any, shall be used on a horizontal distance measurement, not on a measurement along the slope of the ceiling. NFPA 72, 17.6.3.4.2.1 A row of detectors shall first be located at or within 36 in. (910 mm) of the peak of the ceiling. NFPA 72, 29.8.4.4 In rooms with open joists or beams, all ceiling-mounted detectors or alarms shall be located on the bottom of such joists or beams. NFPA 72, 29.8.4.5 Detectors or alarms installed on an open-joisted ceiling shall have their smooth ceiling spacing reduced where this spacing is measured at right angles to solid joists; in the case of heat detectors or heat alarms, this spacing shall not exceed one-half of the listed spacing. NFPA 72, 29.5.1.1 Required Detection for Single- and Multiple-Station Smoke Alarms Approved, single-station smoke alarms shall be installed as follows: (1) In all sleeping rooms (applies to several occupancies including: one- and two-family dwellings; lodging or rooming houses; hotels, motels, and dormitories; apartment buildings; residential board and care facilities; and day-care homes) and guest rooms (applies in the context of hotel and dormitory occupancies) (2) Outside of each separate dwelling unit (applies to one- and two-family dwellings and dwelling units of apartment buildings, including condominiums) sleeping area, within 21 ft (6.4 m) of any door to a sleeping room, with the distance measured along a path of travel (3) On every level of a dwelling unit, including basements (4) On every level of a residential board and care occupancy (small facility), including basements and excluding crawl spaces and unfinished attics (5) In the living area(s) of a guest suite (an accommodation with two or more contiguous rooms comprising a compartment, with or without doors between such rooms, that provides living, sleeping, sanitary, and storage facilities) (6) In the living area(s) (any normally occupiable space in a residential occupancy, other than sleeping rooms or rooms that are intended for combination sleeping/living, bathrooms, toilet compartments, kitchens, closets, halls, storage or utility spaces, and similar areas) of a residential board and care occupancy (small facility)

Review the information in this section to ensure you get the most out of the product. The information in this User Guide is in accordance with NFPA 72. Note A: Maximum coverage established by U.L. is based on providing equal response time as sprinkler devices spaced at 10 ft. intervals (100 sq. /ft.) on a smooth ceiling approximately 15 feet high. Higher ceilings may adversely affect response time and earlier response time may be obtained by reducing the spacing between alarms. Note B: Maximum distance is from any wall or ceiling projection extending down more than 12 inches. Pre-installation Considerations Install the smoke alarm in accordance with NFPA Standard 72, Chapters 17 and 29. Depending on the application, you may need to reference other chapters of NFPA 72 or NFPA 101. Choosing an Installation Location When choosing an installation location, consider: o Use of structure and type of construction o Contents you want to protect and their burning characteristics o Human occupancy o Total area to be monitored o Ceiling height and surface condition o Air movement and vent locations o Obstructions o Deflections After considering these factors, choose a location: o The most favorable mounting location for a Heat Detector is on the ceiling in the center of the room. At this location the alarm is closest to all areas of the room. EXCEPTION: When the mounting surface might become considerably warmer or cooler than the room, such as a poorly insulated ceiling, below an unfinished attic or an exterior wall. In these cases the alarm should be mounted on an inside wall. o In areas where the ambient temperatures normally remain between -10°F (-23°C) and 100°F (38°C). Away from ventilation sources, near ceiling fans, or other high air flow areas that can prevent heat from reaching the Heat Detector. The product shall be located on the ceiling no closer than 4 in.(102 mm) from the sidewall or, if on a sidewall, mount between 4 (102 mm) and 12 in. (300 mm) from the ceiling. In rooms with sloped or peaked ceilings, place alarms 3 feet (910 mm) down or away from the highest point of the ceiling. If mounting to suspended ceiling tile, secure the tile with the appropriate fastener to prevent tile removal. Heat Detectors are not to be used with alarm guards unless the combination has been evaluated and found suitable for that purpose. Note: A Heat Detector does not provide warnings for fires resulting from explosions, smoking in bed, or other furniture; ignition of flammable liquids, vapors, and gasses; and children playing with matches or lighters. Locations to Avoid o Areas where normal ambient temperature exceeds products operating temperature range. o On the ceiling in rooms next to kitchens, where there is no transom between the kitchen and such rooms. o In areas with high humidity, like bathrooms/shower rooms or areas near dishwashers or washing machines. Install at least 10 feet (3 m) away from these areas if possible. o Near fresh-air inlets or returns or very drafty areas. o Near heating/air conditioning vents, fans, and fresh air intakes, which can drive heat away from the alarm. o In dead-air spaces at the top of peaked ceilings or in corners where walls and ceiling meet. Dead air can prevent heat from reaching a Heat Detector. o Within 10 feet (3 m) of fluorescent light fixtures or within 12 in (300 mm) of a light fitting. o Not suitable for outdoor use. WARNING! LIMITATIONS OF HEAT DETECTORS Wireless Heat Detectors are very reliable, but may not work under all conditions. No fire alarm provides total protection of life or property. Heat Detectors require a source of power to work. This Heat Detector will not operate and the alarm will not sound if batteries are dead or not installed properly. Heat Detectors may not be heard. A sound sleeper or someone who has taken drugs or alcohol may not awaken if the alarm is installed outside a bedroom. Closed or partially closed doors and distance can block sound. This alarm is not designed for the hearing impaired. Alarms may not always activate and provide warning early enough. Heat Detectors only activate when it has exceeded the rate of rise or fixed temperature rating. If a fire starts in a chimney, wall, roof, on the other side of closed doors, or on a different level of the property, enough heat may not reach the alarm for it to alarm. Alarms are a significant help in reducing loss, injury and even death. However, no matter how good a detection device is, nothing works perfectly under every circumstance and we must warn you that you cannot expect an alarm to ensure that you will never suffer any damage or injury. Current studies have shown alarms may not awaken all sleeping individuals. It is the responsibility of individuals in the household that are capable of assisting others to provide assistance to those who may not be awakened by the alarm sound, or to those who may be incapable of safely evacuating the area unassisted. 3. Mounting the Sensor Note: Add the product to the Control Panel before physically mounting the alarm in the desired location. A. Disconnect alarm-notification appliances, service-release devices, and extinguishing systems. Test communications between the control panel and alarm before permanently mounting the alarm as follows: − Hold the alarm where you plan to install it. − Press the alarm test button for 8-to-10 seconds. The alarm sends a signal to the control panel.

CAUTION (AS REQUIRED BY THE CALIFORNIA STATE FIRE MARSHAL) “Early warning fire detection is best achieved by the installation of fire detection equipment in all rooms and areas of the household as follows. A smoke alarm installed in each separate sleeping (in the vicinity of, but outside of the bedrooms), and heat or smoke alarms in the living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, hallways, attics, furnace rooms, closets, utility and storage rooms, basements, and attached garages.” 12. Product Information Fire Prevention and Escape The purpose of an early warning alarm is to detect the presence of fire in its early stages and sound an alarm giving the occupant(s) time to exit the premises safely. Avoid Fire Hazards No detection device can protect life in all situations. Therefore, safeguards should be taken to avoid potentially dangerous situations as follows: o Do not smoke in bed. o Do not leave children home alone. o Never clean with flammable liquids such as gasoline. o Properly store materials. Use general good housekeeping techniques to keep your home neat and tidy. A cluttered basement, attic, or other storage area is an open invitation to fire. o Use combustible materials and electrical appliances carefully and only for their intended uses. Do not overload electrical outlets
All Rights Reserved. 6 P/N 3102241 – Rev. EN03 – Jan 05, 2015 o Do not store explosive and/or fast burning materials in your home. o Even after proper precautions have been taken, fires can start. Be prepared. In Case of Fire In the event of a fire: o Leave immediately. Don’t stop to pack or search for valuables. o In heavy smoke, hold your breath and stay low, crawl if necessary. The clearest air is usually near the floor. o If you have to go through a closed door, carefully feel the door and door knob to see if undue heat is present. If they seem cool, brace your foot against the bottom of the door with your hip against the door and one hand against the top edge. Open it slightly. If a rush of hot air is felt, slam the door quickly and latch it. Unvented fire tends to build up considerable pressure. Be sure all members of the household realize and understand this danger. o Use your neighbor’s phone or a street fire alarm box to call the fire department. The job of extinguishing the fire should be left to trained professionals. Be Prepared Practice the following steps to prepare you and your family in the event of a fire: o Perform fire drills regularly. Use them to assure recognition of an alarm signal. o Draw a floor plan and show two exits from each room. It is important that children be instructed carefully, because they tend to hide in times of crisis. o Establish one meeting place outside the home. Insist that everyone meet there during an alarm. This will eliminate the possibility of someone re-entering the house for a missing member who is actually safe. o If you have children, elderly or anyone requiring additional assistance residing in your household, use window decals to help emergency personnel identify the sleeping quarters of these individuals.
