7. Operation And Test

TESTING THE HEAT ALARM

  Warning: test each heat alarm and smoke alarm to be sure 

that each is installed correctly and is operating properly.

Stand at arm’s length from the heat alarm when testing. The alarm 
sounder is loud to alert you to an emergency and can be harmful to 
hearing.
Test the heat alarm weekly and upon returning from holiday, or when 
the house has been unoccupied for several days. 

Test all heat alarms weekly by doing the following:

1. Check the Hush/Test button. If the green LED above the test button 

is ON, the heat alarm is receiving AC power.

2. Firmly depress and hold the Hush/Test button for at least five (5) 

seconds. The heat alarm will sound 3 long beeps, pause, 3 longs 

beeps, repeating for up to 10 seconds after the Hush/Test button 

is released. 

NOTE:

 If heat alarms are interconnected, all heat and 

smoke alarms should sound an alarm within three (3) seconds after 

any test button is pushed and the tested heat alarm sounds.

3. If the heat alarm does not sound, please refer to Section 9: 

Troubleshooting. If this doesn’t work please contact your 

electrician.

 Warning: If the heat alarm sounds, and the heat alarm 

is not being tested, the heat alarm is sensing a temperature 
of 57°C or above. THE ALARM SOUND REQUIRES YOUR 
IMMEDIATE ATTENTION AND ACTION. EVACUATE THE 
DWELLING IMMEDIATELY!
