135°F FIXED TEMPERATURE HEAT ALARM,
AC POWERED WITH BATTERY BACKUP
Installation Instructions - Owner's Information READ CAREFULLY AND SAVE
INTRODUCTION HD135
The HD135 Series heat alarm is for use as an evacuation device in
residential applications. Each alarm has a solid state piezo that emits a
temporal 3 signal to warn and alert the household to the presence of
threatening heat.
Your heat alarm is designed to detect heat that results from an actual fire.
Heat alarms are intended for use as added protection to smoke alarms. This
unit cannot detect smoke or other toxic gases, therefore, do not rely solely on
this heat alarm to provide warning of a fire.
BASIC SAFETY INFORMATION
Dangers, Warnings, Cautions and Notices alert you to important operating
procedures or to potentially hazardous situations. Pay special attention to
these items.
This heat alarm is listed for use in single-family and multi-family
residences, along with hotels, motels and other commercial residential
occupancies.
NEVER ignore your heat alarm if it sounds. Failure to do so can result in
serious injury or death.
Test this device once a week per manufacturer installation recommendation.
If the device ever fails to test correctly, replace immediately! If the device is
not working properly, it can not alert you to a problem.
This product is intended for use in indoor locations.

**HD135-223.........................................220VAC, 50/60Hz with Temporal 3 Horn
* These units produce a non-temporal audible alarm and are therefore not
intended for locations where the desired action of the occupant(s) is
evacuation.
** Per NFPA 72, the
American National Standard Audible Emergency Evacuation
Signal
as defined in ANSI S3.41, is required whenever the intended response is
to evacuate the building.
NOTICE:
IN THE EVENT AC POWER FAILS, A 9VDC BATTERY WILL
PROVIDE PROPER ALARM OPERATION FOR A MINIMUM OF A 24-HOUR
PERIOD.

HOW TO TELL IF YOUR HEAT ALARM IS WORKING
PROPERLY
Your heat alarm is provided with an alarm horn and pulsating Light Emitting
(indicator) Diode, which pulses every 30 seconds and a green AC power on
LED.
If the battery is low or missing, a chirp will be emitted when the red LED
flashes. If the heat alarm is malfunctioning, the chirp is sounded without the
red LED flashing. If AC power fails, the green LED will turn off.
To test your heat alarm, direct a hair dryer at the sensor element (silver
disk) at a 4-6" distance. Alternatively, a cordless soldering iron may be
applied to the sensor element. The unit will return to normal standby mode
once the disk cools down. A cold damp rag or sponge may be used to
quickly cool the sensor.
NOTE:
Tandem Interconnect Models.
When testing one heat alarm, the heat alarm that is activated will flash the
red indicator light and sound its alarm horn. All other units will sound the
alarm horn with their red indicator lights remaining off. The relays will also
activate on all units in tandem on models equipped with the relay option.
FIRE PROTECTION PLAN: WHAT YOU CAN DO TO MAKE
YOUR FAMILY SAFE FROM FIRES
Please note that there are hazards against which heat detection may not
be effective, such as smoking in bed, explosions, when a closed door sepa-
rates the heat alarm from the source of the fire, etc. The ultimate responsibility
for fire protection rests solely on you.
Installing heat alarms is just the first step in protecting your family from fires.
You also must reduce the chances that fires will start in your home and
increase your chances of safely escaping if one does start. To have an
effective fire safety program:
a. Install smoke and heat alarms properly following the instructions in
this manual. Keep your units clean. Test your alarm weekly and have
unit repaired or replace alarm when it when it no longer functions.
As
with any electronic product, smoke and heat alarms have a limited life, and
devices that don't work cannot protect you.
b. Follow safety rules and prevent hazardous situations:
Use smoking materials properly; never smoke in bed.
Keep matches and cigarette lighters away from children.
Store flammable materials in proper containers and never use them near
open flames or sparks.
Keep electrical appliances and cords in good working order and do not
overload electrical circuits.
Keep stoves, fireplaces, chimneys, and barbecue grills grease-free and
make sure they are properly installed away from combustible materials.
Keep portable heaters and open flames such as candles away from
combustible materials.
Do not allow rubbish to accumulate.
Do not leave small children home alone.
c. Develop a family escape plan and practice it with your entire family,
especially small children.
Draw and post a floor plan of your home and find two ways to exit from
each room. There should be one way to get out of each bedroom
without opening the door.
Teach children what the smoke and heat alarm signal means, and that
they must be prepared to leave the residence by themselves if
necessary. Show them how to check to see if doors are hot before
opening them, how to stay close to the floor and crawl if necessary, and
how to use the alternate exit if the door is hot and should not be opened.
Decide on a meeting place a safe distance from your house and make
sure that all your children understand that they should go and wait for
you if there is a fire.
Hold fire drills at least every 6 months to make sure that everyone, even
small children, know what to do to escape safely.
Know where to go to call the fire department from outside your residence.
Provide emergency equipment such as fire extinguishers and teach your
family to use this equipment properly.
