Limitations of Smoke / Heat Alarms

Service and Guarantee

Smoke / Heat Alarms have significantly helped to reduce 

the number of fire fatalities in countries where they are 

widely installed.
However independent authorities have stated that they 

may be ineffective in some circumstances. There are a 

number of reasons for this: 
• NOTE: Constant exposure to high or low temperatures 

or high humidity may reduce the life of the battery.

• Smoke / Heat Alarms will not detect fire if sufficient 

smoke / heat does not reach the Alarm. Smoke / heat 

may be prevented from reaching the Alarm if the fire is 

too far away, for example, if the fire is on another floor, 

behind a closed door, in a chimney, in a wall cavity, 

or if the prevailing air draughts carry the smoke / heat 

away.  Installing Smoke / Heat Alarms on both sides 

of  closed doors and installing more than one Smoke 

/ Heat Alarm as recommended in the ‘INSTALLER 

INSTRUCTIONS’ section significantly improves the 

probability of early detection.

• The alarm may not be heard.
• A Smoke / Heat Alarm may not wake a person who has 

taken drugs or alcohol.

• Smoke / Heat Alarms may not detect every type of fire 

to give sufficient early warning.   

• Optical Smoke Alarms should be fitted as 1st choice for 

minimum protection. Ionisation Smoke Alarms may be 

fitted after this.

• Smoke / Heat Alarms don’t last indefinitely. For 

example if there is a build up of contamination, 

performance will be impaired. 

It is recommended that the Smoke / Heat Alarms are 

replaced after 10 years as a precaution.

If your Alarm fails to work after you have carefully read 

all the instructions, checked the unit has been installed 

correctly, and is receiving AC power (green light on) 

contact Customer Assistance at the address given at 

the end of this leaflet. If it needs to be returned for repair 

or replacement put it in a padded box and send it to 

“Customer Assistance and Information” at the nearest 

address given on the Alarm or in this leaflet. Do not snap 

on to the mounting plate as this connects the battery and 

the unit may beep or alarm in the post. State the nature 

of the fault, where the Alarm was purchased and the 

date of purchase.
Brooks guarantees this Alarm for five years from date 

of purchase against any defects that are due to faulty 

materials or workmanship. This guarantee only applies 

to normal conditions of use and service, and does 

not include damage resulting from accident, neglect, 

misuse, unauthorised dismantling, or contamination 

howsoever caused. This guarantee excludes incidental 

and consequential damage. If this Alarm should become 

defective within the guarantee period, it must be 

returned to Brooks, with proof of purchase, carefully 

packaged, with the problem clearly stated. We shall at 

our discretion repair or replace the faulty unit.
