HOW this Heat Alarm Works

FOLLOW THESE INSTALLATION STEPS

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 135ºF (57ºC) or the micro- processor detects a 15ºF (8.3ºC) 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 135ºF, 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 warning of a develop- ing 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.

THE COVER OF YOUR HEAT ALARM

1.Power Light, Test/Silence Button

2.Remote Control “Eye”: Aim an infrared remote control at the “Eye” on the Alarm to test or silence the unit. (Works with most infrared remote controls)

3.Air Vents

4.(Behind the Cover) Alarm Horn: 85dB audible alarm for test, alarm, and unit malfunction warning.

5.Heat Sensor

The basic installation of this Heat Alarm is the similar whether you want to install one Heat Alarm, or intercon- nect more than one Heat Alarm. If you are interconnecting more than one Heat Alarm, you MUST read “Special Requirements For Interconnected Heat Alarms” below before you begin installation.

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD. Turn off power to the area where you will install this unit at the circuit breaker or fuse box before beginning installation. Failure to turn off the power before installation may result in serious electrical shock, injury or death.

1.Remove the mounting bracket from the base. Position the screw slots on the mounting bracket over the screws in the junction box. Tighten the screws.

2.Using wire nuts, connect the power connector to the household wiring.

STAND-ALONE ALARM ONLY:

•Connect the white wire on the power connector to the neutral wire in the junction box.

•Connect the black wire on the power connector to the hot wire in the junction box.

•Tuck the orange wire inside the junction box. It is used for interconnect only.

INTERCONNECTED UNITS ONLY:

Strip off about 1/2” (12 mm) of the plastic coating on the orange wire on the power connector.

• Connect the white wire on the power connector to the neutral wire in the junction box.
•	Connect the black wire on the power connector to the hot wire in the junction box.
•	Connect the orange wire on the power connector to the interconnect wire in the junction box. Repeat for
	each unit you are interconnecting. Never connect the hot or neutral wires in the junction box to the orange
	interconnect wire. Damage may result.

HOW TO INSTALL THIS HEAT ALARM

This Heat Alarm is designed to be mounted on any standard wiring junction box to a 4-inch 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.

THE PARTS OF THIS HEAT ALARM

The Mounting Bracket:

To remove the mounting bracket from the Heat Alarm base, hold the Heat Alarm base firmly and twist the mounting bracket counterclockwise. The mounting bracket installs onto the junction box. It has a variety of screw slots to fit most boxes.

The Power Connector:

The power connector plugs into a power input block on the Heat Alarm. It supplies the unit with AC power.

•The black wire is “hot.”

•The white wire is neutral.

•The orange wire is used for interconnect.

If you need to remove the power connector, disconnect AC power at the electrical panel; insert a flat screwdriver blade between the power connector and the security tab inside the power input block. Gently pry back the tab and pull the connector free.

• Never cross-connect hot and neutral wires between interconnected Alarms. Damage will result.

3.	Plug the power connector into the back of the Heat Alarm.
4.	Position the base of the Alarm over the mounting bracket and turn. The Alarm can be positioned over the
	bracket every 60°. Turn the Alarm clockwise (right) until the unit is in place.
5.	Check all connections.

STAND-ALONE ALARM ONLY:

•If you are only installing one Heat Alarm, restore power to the junction box.

INTERCONNECTED UNITS ONLY:

•If you are interconnecting multiple Heat Alarms, repeat steps 1-5 for each Heat Alarm in the series. When you are finished, restore power to the junction box.

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD. Do not restore power until all Heat Alarms are completely installed. Restoring power before installation is complete may result in serious electrical shock, injury or death.

6.	Make sure the Heat Alarm is receiving AC power. Under normal operation, the green light (LED) will shine
	continuously.
7.	If the green power indicator light does not light, TURN OFF POWER TO THE JUNCTION BOX and recheck
	all connections. If all connections are correct and the power indicator still does not light when you restore
	the power, the unit should be replaced immediately.
8.	Test each Heat Alarm. Press the Test/Silence button until you hear a brief acknowledge (or feedback) chirp.
