•Maximum alarm coverage has been determined by UL to provide detection time equal to sprinkler devices spaced at 10 foot intervals (100 square foot area) on a smooth ceiling 15 ft. x 8 in. high. Higher ceilings can adversely affect detection time. In some instances, earlier detection may be obtained by reducing the spacing between detectors. See the latest edition of NFPA 72, National Fire Alarm Code.
•Maximum distance is from any wall partition or ceiling projection extending down more than 12 in.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
PLEASE READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This heat alarm requires constant 120 Volt AC power AND a working 9 Volt battery to operate properly. This heat alarm WILL NOT work if AC power is not connected or has failed or has been interrupted for any reason AND the batteries removed, drained or improperly connected. DO NOT use any other kind of battery except as specified in this manual. DO NOT connect this heat alarm to any other type of smoke alarm or heat alarm or auxiliary device, except those listed in this manual.
•This heat alarm should be installed only by a licensed, qualified electrician. Observe and follow all local and national electrical building codes for installation.
•Heat alarms should be interconnected with smoke alarms in order to provide early warning of heat, smoke or fire. In addition, smoke alarms should be installed in every bedroom and on every level of the home.
•Heat alarms interconnected with smoke alarms may not alert every household member every time. The alarm horn of the heat alarm and smoke alarm is loud in order to alert individuals of a potential danger. However, there may be limiting circumstances where a household member may not hear the alarm (i.e. outdoor or indoor noise, sound sleepers, drug or alcohol use, the hearing impaired, etc.). If you suspect that your heat alarm or smoke alarm may not alert a household member, install and maintain specialty smoke alarms. Household members must hear the alarm's warning sound and quickly respond to it to reduce the risk of damage, injury or death that may result from fire. This heat alarm cannot be interconnected with specialty smoke alarms unless specified in this manual.
•Heat alarms should be used to provide an added source of information and supplement smoke alarm installation. Some fires are slow, smoldering, low heat- producing or are in a different room than the heat alarm, or the heat from the fire may bypass the alarm. This heat alarm will not always detect this type of fire.

•Interconnected heat alarms and smoke alarms offer maximum protection. The National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) recommends interconnecting heat alarms and smoke alarms so that when one unit senses heat, smoke or fire and sounds its alarm, all others will sound as well. Do not interconnect heat alarms or smoke alarms from one individual family living unit to another. Do not connect this heat alarm to any other type of alarm (except those stated in this manual) or auxiliary device.
