TESTING YOUR HEAT ALARM:
After installation and after reoccupation of the dwelling after a
vacation etc; check all alarms for correct operation.
It is recommended that you test your heat alarm once a week
to ensure the detector is working correctly.
Push and hold the test button for approximately 3 seconds. A
loud pulsating alarm should sound and a red flashing indicator
light (LED) can be seen to indicate that the unit is functioning
correctly.
NOTE:
For multiple interconnected heat alarms; test each alarm in
turn checking also that the alarm is triggered on all other heat
alarms.
MAINTAING YOUR HEAT ALARM:
If the heat detector emits a short “beep” once a minute then
the battery is at the end of its life and should be replaced
immediately. This low voltage warning will continue to sound
for at least 7 days.
WARNING:
The use of batteries other than those recommended on the
back of the heat alarm may be detrimental to its operation.
Clean your heat alarm regularly to prevent dust build up
this can be done using a vacuum cleaner with the brush
attachment. Clean gently around the front grille sections and
sides.
IMPORTANT:
If there is any question as to the cause of an alarm it
should be assumed that the alarm is due to an actual fire
and the dwelling should be evacuated immediately.
IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE:
• Leave the building as quickly as possible.
• Check room doors for smoke or heat do not open a hot
door. Use an alternative escape route, crawl along the floor if
possible breathe through a wet cloth or hold your breath. Do
not stop to collect anything.
• Meet at a pre-arranged meeting place outside the dwelling
and check everybody is there.
• Call the Fire Brigade immediately from outside the building.
The brigade should be summoned regardless of the size
of the fire and regardless of whether there is a facility for
transmission of alarms to a remote manned centre.
• Do not go back inside a burning building wait for the Fire
Brigade to arrive.
IMPORTANT SAFE GUARDS:
Installation of your heat alarm is only one step in your safety
plan. Other important steps should be taken to further
improve your safety:
• Install this heat alarm properly by following this instruction
leaflet.
• Test your heat alarm weekly.
• Replace the battery immediately once depleted.
• Do not smoke in bed.
• Keep matches and lighters away from children.
• Store flammable materials in a proper manner and never use
them near naked flames or sparks.
• Maintain emergency equipment such as fire extinguishers,
escape ladders etc and ensure all occupants know how to
use them correctly.
• Plan an escape route(s) from your building in advance and
ensure all occupants are aware of them. Re-enforce this
awareness periodically throughout the year.
• Make sure that the escape routes remain free of any
obstructions.

COMMON CAUSES AND AVOIDING FALSE
ALARMS:
The heart alarm may be triggered by steam, condensation or
heat. Keep away from these sources to avoid nuisance alarms.
(See areas to be avoided in the positioning the heat alarm
section on page 2 and 3).
ACTION IN THE EVENT OF A FALSE
ALARM:
Check the house carefully in case there is a small fire
smouldering somewhere.
Check whether the alarm was triggered by a source of heat.
You should get your family into a safe place before your
investigation
If there are frequent nuisance false alarms it may be necessary
to re- locate the device. If for some reason the unit continues
to give false alarm it can be silenced by disconnecting the
mains power and removing the unit. If cleaning the alarm
does not correct the problem it can be returned to the place
where you bought it.
