Proper use
This heat detector is intended for use indoors within private households. At a temperature above approx
57°C the heat detector will sound a 85 dB(A) loud alarm signal, as a warning in case of fire.
If one of the detectors gives alarm, then the alarm signal will be given from all interconnected detectors.
Install heat detectors in areas in which dust, steam or cooking fumes could cause a false alarm from a
smoke detector, for example in the kitchen, and possibly also in the cellar, laundry room and garage.
Heat detectors must not be used in place of smoke detectors in escape routes, living rooms or bedrooms.
Observe local building regulations. In general smoke detectors react to fire quicker than heat detectors,
therefore smoke detectors must be installed appropriately, especially in the hallway outside the room in
which a heat detector is installed. Without the additional protection of smoke detectors, heat detectors
will not provide adequate protection in case of fire.
The heat detector is powered by a 9 V block battery. The heat detector will only function when a correct
and good condition battery is correctly inserted. Do not use rechargeable batteries.
Unless there is a legal responsibility, no liability will be accepted for any damages in particular to
persons or property caused by non-functioning or incorrect functioning of the heat detector.
Smoke and heat detectors are no substitute for your duty of supervision and care, and are no substitute
for property or life insurance. You are responsible for provision of adequate insurance cover. No liability
for damages will be accepted in case of fire or false alarm.
This heat detector is not suitable for persons with impaired hearing. Replace the heat detector within10
years, at the latest 13 years, from the date of manufacture.

Safety instructions

The following instructions are for your own safety when installing and operating the heat detector.
Please note that non-compliance with these safety instructions leads to a serious risk of danger.
Danger to life and risk of injury!
!
This appliance is not intended to be used by people (including children) with restricted physical,
sensory or mental capacities, or a lack of experience and/or knowledge, unless they are supervised
by or receive instructions how to use the appliance from a person responsible for their safety.
Children must be supervised in order to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
!
Do not leave small children unsupervised with the packaging material, the device or with any small
parts. Danger to life from suffocation!
!
Do not damage any gas, electricity or telecommunication lines when fitting the device. Danger to
life, risk of injury and damage!
!
Ensure that the battery is inserted with the correct polarity. Ensure that the battery is not short
circuited or exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine or fire. The battery must also never be
recharged. Danger to life from explosion!
!
ATTENTION: Risk of explosion if the battery is not replaced correctly. Replacement only with the
same or equivalent type.
!
Make sure that your hearing is not exposed to the loud alarm signal for any length of time and that
the signal is not triggered close to the ears. This can cause serious damage to hearing.
!
Leaking or damaged batteries can cause acid burns if they come into contact with the skin. Always
use suitable protective gloves when handling.
!
Never attempt to repair the device yourself. Otherwise there is a risk of damage to the device and of
improper functioning. The guarantee will also be invalid.
!
Do not paint or apply any covering over the heat detector otherwise the function will be impaired!
!
Do not use an open flame to test the heat detector. Otherwise there is a risk to life and of damage
through fire!
Preparation in case of fire
!
Draw up an emergency escape plan by drawing the escape routes on a floor plan of your home.
Draw at least two escape routes from every bedroom.
!
Discuss the emergency escape plan with all family members /occupants. Children will often hide
when they are unsure of what action to take. Practice your escape routine together.
!
Familiarise all family members with the alarm sounds of the heat and smoke detectors. They must
be prepared for fire and must know what action they should take.
!
Determine a place outside your home for a meeting point. This way you can check if all persons have
left the building.
!
Ask your fire brigade for advice about fire extinguishers and fire blankets and their use, and also
about how you can best protect yourself against the danger of fire. What to do in case of fire?
!
Never use water to extinguish a chip-pan or deep-fat fryer fire as this causes an explosion. Use a fire
blanket to cut off the oxygen supply to the flames.
!
Alert all occupants.
!
Keep calm and avoid panic. Follow your emergency escape plan. Your safe escape depends on clear
thinking and remembering what you have practiced.
!
Leave the house as quickly as possible using the safest exit. Do not waste time getting dressed or
collecting valuables. Do not use lifts.
!
Close all doors behind yourself in order to slow down the spread of the fire.
!
If you have to cross a smoke filled room, keep your head as low as possible. Hold a (preferably
damp) cloth in front of your mouth.
!
Feel doors before opening them.
- if these are warm, it is possible they are holding back the fire. Try to find an alternative escape route.
- if the surface of the door is cool, then hold your shoulder against the door and open it carefully a few
centimetres. If you can see smoke or flames then close the door.
!
Call the fire brigade as soon as you have left the house. Give your exact address and wait at the
roadside until the fire brigade arrives.
Do not return into a burning house.
Where to locate
!
Install the heat detector in areas in which dust, steam or cooking fumes could cause a false alarm
from a smoke detector, for example in the kitchen, and possibly also in the cellar, laundry room and
garage. The heat detector must not be used in place of a smoke detector in escape routes, living
rooms or bedrooms. Observe local building regulations. In general smoke detectors react to fire
quicker than heat detectors, therefore smoke detectors must be installed appropriately, especially
in the hallway outside the room in which the heat detector is installed.
!
Check that the alarm sound is loud enough in the bedrooms to wake occupants in the case of fire.
!
The heat detector must be installed on the ceiling, as close to the centre of the room as possible. The
distance to each wall must not exceed 5,3 m. The distance between two heat detectors within a
room should not exceed 5,3 m. In larger rooms the installation of additional heat detectors may be
necessary.
!
The distance to walls and corners must not be less then 30 cm.
!
A closed door or other obstacles will block heat from the device and reduce the audibility of the
alarm sound. Install an adequate number of detectors.
!
The heat detector must be easily accessible for testing and battery replacement.
!
For complicated or larger dwellings seek advice from a fire safety specialist or from the fire brigade.
