HOW TO INSTALL THIS HEAT ALARM
THE PARTS OF THIS HEAT ALARM
This Heat Alarm is designed to be mounted on any standard wiring junction box to a 4-inch (10 cm) 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.
This Heat Alarm monitors the air and when heat reaches the sensor, it alarms.
The unit will alarm when the temperature reaches a fixed 135º F (57º C).
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 developing 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.
