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. All Rights Reserved. P/N 3102241 – Rev. EN03 – Jan 05, 2015 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. 2. Mounting Guideline This product is a member of a reliable, high-quality product family using the latest technology available. 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 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. 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 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. 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. In areas where the ambient temperatures normally remain between -10°F (-23°C) and 100°F (38°C). 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. Away from ventilation sources, near ceiling fans, or other high air flow areas that can prevent heat from reaching the Heat Detector. 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. 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. 3. Mounting the Sensor If mounting to suspended ceiling tile, secure the tile with the appropriate fastener to prevent tile removal. Note: Add the product to the Control Panel before physically mounting the alarm in the desired location. Heat Detectors are not to be used with alarm guards unless the combination has been evaluated and found suitable for that purpose. A.
