AUTONOMOUS HEAT DETECTOR, 10 years battery life
Form
Autonomous heat detector. The thermistor sensor allows reliable detection of heat. It is equipped with a pause button for locations prone to false alarms.
Features:
- detection type: heat, approximately 54-70 °C
- power supply: sealed lithium battery
- 1 battery
- battery life 10 years
- low battery warning
- sound power: 85dB at 3 m
- detection area: an approximate coverage area of 56.3 m²
- operation temperature: 4 °C to +50 °C
- test button
- mounting plate
- conform to European smoke alarm standard: EN14604:2005
Per piece.
Fit
Standalone installation on standard indoor ceilings. Operates independently without wiring, external power, or connection to central fire alarm systems. No additional components required for use.
Location of detector:
- do not install heat alarms on walls
- do not locate near fans or extractors; these can pull smoke and heat away from the alarm
- do not install in bathrooms and showers
- do not install in rooms where the normal temperature may exceed 50 °C or fall below 4 °C. These may cause nuisance alarms.
- do not install in the peak of an A frame ceiling, this may delay heat reaching it due to still air (see diagram above for minimum distances from the peak)
- do not install less than 300 mm from walls and beams due to still air
- do not install less than 300 mm from light fittings
- do not install heat alarms in sleeping areas such as bedrooms, nurseries, playrooms or areas where the elderly and disabled may spend long periods of time
- do not install on poorly insulated ceilings where cold air boundary layers may delay heat from reaching the alarm
- do not install near objects that may delay or prevent heat from reaching the alarm
- avoid installing within 1500mm of fluorescent light fittings that could cause nuisance alarms
- do not paint the alarm
Function
The autonomous heat detector is designed to identify rapid temperature increases indicative of fire hazards and emits an audible alarm upon detection. It is limited to heat detection and does not identify smoke or gas. Intended for fire detection in MSF facilities where autonomous, local alerting is sufficient, such as offices, accommodation or storage areas. Provides on-site warning only and requires dry indoor storage prior to installation.
