TESTING
Use a hair dryer and direct hot air towards the silver disk on the face of the
alarm or use a portable soldering iron and place it against the heat sensor.
Never use an open flame of any kind to test your
heat alarm. You may ignite and damage the alarm as well as your home.
Heat alarms are not to be used with alarm guards unless
the combination has been evaluated and found suitable for that purpose.
TO RETURN A HEAT ALARM
Should you experience problems with your heat alarm, proceed as follows:
1. Turn off electrical power to the heat alarm.
2. Twist the heat alarm counter-clockwise to remove it from its mounting plate.
3. Unplug the connector from the back of the heat alarm. Do not remove the
wire connection; leave the connector for your replacement heat alarm.
4. Remove battery from heat alarm. Do not ship heat alarm with battery still
attached to battery clip.
5. Carefully pack (the manufacturer cannot be responsible for consequential
damage) and return to the manufacturer. Include complete details as to
exact nature of difficulties being experienced and date of installation.
6. Return to: Gentex Corporation, 10985 Chicago Drive, Zeeland, Michigan,
49464. Prior to returning, call Gentex at 1-800-436-8391 or e-mail
[email protected] to obtain a RMA Number from our Customer
Service Department.
3. Place the heat alarm up to the mounting plate, rotating it clockwise until
alarm firmly snap locks into place. Keep the heat alarm parallel to the
mounting plate so upper and lower tabs on the plate seat correctly into the
heat alarm.
1. Run a minimum of 16 gauge, 3-conductor cable, plus ground (4 wires) to
the first alarm junction box from a power supply and between all alarms that
are to be tandem connected together. Use ANSI/UL Listed Class 1 wire.
2. Make wire connections to the supplied plug-in connector as follows: black to
black, white to white, 3rd conductor to the red/yellow wire. The red/yellow
wire should be stripped to make the connection. Connect ground wire
between metal outlet boxes.
NOTICE:
TANDEM INTERCONNECTING MODELS
DO NOT
connect Gentex smoke or heat alarms to other manufacturers'
smoke alarms.
All units connected in tandem
MUST
get their power from the same circuit,
that is, all heat and/or smoke alarms in tandem must be controlled by the
same fuse or circuit breaker.
After installation to verify proper working conditions all horns must sound in
this system.
CAUTION:
Failure to observe any of the conditions set forth may cause
system malfunction and damage to the alarm.
BATTERY INSTALLATION
1. Remove heat alarm from mounting plate by turning counter-clockwise.
2. Remove AC power connector and unsnap power leads from the top of
the old battery. Snap new battery onto snaps and reinsert battery through
hole in the back of the alarm. WARNING: Units with battery back-up will
not provide power or transmit an alarm to AC only units in the event of an
AC power failure. All battery back-up units in tandem with good batteries
will operate normally during an AC power failure.
3. Use only Duracell
®
MN 1604 battery with the HD135 Series heat alarm.
CAUTION:
Units with battery back-up will not provide power or transmit an alarm
to AC only units in the event of an AC power failure. All battery back-up units in
tandem, with good batteries, will operate normally during an AC power failure.

TANDEM UNITS WILL NOT OPERATE. TANDEM UNITS WILL OPERATE IN
THE EVENT OF AC POWER FAILURE IF BATTERY IS CONNECTED TO
THE HEAT ALARM.
LIMITATIONS:
A maximum of (12) smoke alarms (9120/9123, 7100/ 7103,
9220/9223 or 7200/7203) may be tandem connected together. A total of (12)
smoke alarms and (6) heat alarms may be tandem interconnected together.
Do not exceed 125 feet between each alarm. Do not exceed 1125 feet
between first and last alarm.
A maximum of six (6) smoke alarms with relay options (9120F/9123F,
9220F/9223F, 7100F/7103F, 7200F/7203F, 710CS/713CS or 7109CS/7139CS)
may be tandem interconnected. If a HD135 is interconnected, a maximum of
(5) 9120F/9123F, 9220F/9223F, 7100F/7103F, 7200F/7203F, 710CS/713CS or
7109CS/7139CS and (3) HD135 units may be tandem interconnected.
Wire used for interconnecting shall be in accordance with the latest edition of
Article 760 of the National Electrical Code (NEC) and NFPA 70, and must not
exceed a resistance of 10 ohms.
