PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Heat Alarms are intended to be supplementary to Smoke Alarms and
should only be placed in areas where smoke alarms cannot be used.
HSSA/HE/RF10-PRO is a xed temperature heat alarm with a radio link
mounting base which allows it to be interconnected to other Hispec alarms.
(Can be mixed and matched with the Hispec wireless series Smoke
Alarm / Heat Alarm) The radio link base has both signal transmitter and
receiver built-in. It transmits a Radio Frequency(RF) alarm signal when
the unit detects high heat. When it receives an RF alarm signal from
another unit, it will sound. This interconnect feature allow up to 20 units
to be interconnected together within 80 meters and thus all alarms will
sound when any one is activated. Using the wireless signal transmission
technology it avoids wiring location problems.
Note: This alarm cannot be connected to any other device such as a
re alarm panel.
All alarms should be interconnected to ensure the early warning will be
heard, particularly by somebody sleeping. A properly designed early
warning re system ensures the alarm is given before the escape routes
become blocked with smoke.
This Heat alarm gives a re warning when the temperature at the unit
reaches 60ºC. It is ideal for kitchens, garages, cellars, boiler rooms, attics
and other areas where there are normally high levels of fumes, smoke
or dust which preclude the use of smoke alarms due to the risk of false
alarms.
LOCATING THE HEAT ALARM
If your dwelling is on a single story, for minimum protection you should t an
alarm in a corridor or hallway between the sleeping and living areas (incl.
Kitchens). Place it as near to the living areas as possible and ensure the
audible alarm can be heard when the bedrooms are occupied. See Figure
1 for examples.
INSTALLING THE HEAT ALARM
WARNING – This alarm is mains powered and requires wiring by
a qualied electrician in accordance with the current IET Wiring
Regulations (BS7671).
On initial installation, the alarm may indicate the low battery warning by
chirping once per minute. This can be silenced (for 10 hours) by pressing
the TEST button once. The low battery warning would otherwise stop within
2 hours, and the battery will be fully charged in 12 hours.
Assemble alarm unit to the mounting base
Before wiring to the mains, assemble the alarm unit onto the mounting
base by sliding it in according to the direction of the arrows. Test the correct
operation of the alarm (operating from the battery only) by pressing the test
button on the front of the alarm. The unit should emit a loud pulsating alarm.
The circuit used to power the alarm must be a dedicated permanent supply
that cannot be switched off accidentally by the normal user. Before installing
ensure the electrical supply is isolated.
WARNING: To prevent injury, this alarm must be securely attached to
the ceiling/wall in accordance with the installation instructions.
The alarm will function correctly either as a stand-alone alarm or inter-
connected. All Interconnected alarms must be supplied from a single power
circuit. A common neutral must be used for the interconnect to function.
WARNING: Do not connect the interconnect wire to Live, Neutral or
Earth.
• Disconnect the AC main power from the circuit that is going to be used.

Wall Mounting
Do not mount tight into the corners. Put the top edge of your alarm between
150 and 300mm below the ceiling. Keep at least 300mm from room
corners. See Figure 3i
On a Sloping Ceiling
In areas with sloping or peaked ceilings install your alarm in accordance
with Figure 3ii because "dead air" at the apex may not allow hot air to
adequately enter the alarm.
If your dwelling is multi-story, for minimum protection one alarm should
be tted at the bottom of the staircase with further alarms tted on each
upstairs landing. This includes basements but excludes crawl spaces and
unnished attics. See Figure 2 for examples.
NOTE: For maximum protection smoke alarms should be tted in
every room (except kitchen, bathroom and garage).
POSITIONING THE HEAT ALARM
Ceiling Mounting
As hot air rises and spreads, it is advisable to mount on a ceiling in a
central position. Avoid areas where there is no air circulation. E.g. Corners
of rooms and keep away from items which may prevent the free ow of air.
Place the unit at least 300mm from any light ttings or decorative objects
which might obstruct smoke entering the alarm. Keep at least 300mm away
from walls. See Figure 3i.
AREAS TO BE AVOIDED:
• Situations where the temperature may fall below 4°C for extended
periods
• Humid areas such as BATHROOMS, SHOWER ROOMS where the
relative humidity may exceed 90% as vapour will cause false alarms.
• Near a DECORATIVE OBJECT, DOOR, LIGHT FITTING, WINDOW
MOULDING etc., that may prevent hot air from entering the alarm.
• In VERY DUSTY OR DIRTY environments such as workshops.
• Locate unit at least 1.5m and route wiring at least 1m away for
FLUORESCENT LIGHT FITTINGS as electrical “noise” and/or ickering
may affect the unit. Do not wire into the same circuit as uorescent lights
or dimmers.
• Do not locate in INSECT INFESTED AREAS. Insects and contamination
on the alarm sensor can increase its response time.

pushing up the security latch with a screw driver. See Figure 8
• Slide the alarm unit out from the mounting base.
NOTE: For multiple interconnected alarms, only the RED indicator
light (LED) of the originating unit will ash rapidly. All other units in the
interconnect system will sound an alarm but their RED indicator light (LED)
will NOT ash. Test each alarm checking that the alarm is triggered on all
other alarms installed.
HUSH OR SILENCE FEATURE
This alarm has a built-in Hush or Silence feature incorporated into the Test
button. If cooking or other non-hazardous sources cause an unwanted
alarm, it can be temporarily silenced by depressing the test button and
holding for approximately 3 seconds. The alarm will enter a dormant period
for 10 minutes. The red LED will ash every 10 seconds to indicate the
sensitivity is reduced. At the end of the hush period the alarm will reset to
normal sensitivity.
NOTE – If the heat density increase during this period (i.e. from a re)
the unit will go into alarm mode.
LOW BATTERY WARNING
If the alarm emits a short ‘beep’ once a minute the battery is at the end of
its life. This low voltage warning will be given for at least 30 days.
In this case, the other interconnected units in the system which are not in
low battery condition will chirps for a few seconds once an hour as long as
the detector with the “dead” battery beeps. If the red indicator light (LED)
does not ash every minute then replace the battery.
WARNING: BATTERY IS NON-REPLACEABLE
The secondary backup power for the alarm is supplied by a non-
removable rechargeable lithium battery. The battery is sealed in
the alarm and cannot be replaced. If the red indicator light (LED)
does not ash every minute then replace the alarm.
MAINTAINING YOUR HEAT ALARM
Clean your alarm at least once every six months to prevent dust build up.
This can be done using a vacuum cleaner with the brush attachment. Clean

LIMITATIONS OF THE HEAT ALARM
Heat alarms are not designed to protect life safety against re and smoke.
In most res, hazardous levels of toxic gases and smoke can build up
before the heat alarm will operate. Heat alarms should only be used to
provide an added source of protection.
Heat alarms cannot provide an alarm if heat does not reach the unit.
Therefore, heat alarms may not sense res starting in chimneys, walls, on
roofs, on the other side of a closed door or on a different oor. Home res
develop in different ways and are often unpredicatable.

OPERATING YOUR HEAT ALARM
Once the alarm has been installed a small GREEN indicator light (LED)
should be visible through the alarm grill indicating that AC supply is healthy.
A RED indicator light (LED) should also ash approximately once a minute
to indicate the battery is healthy and the unit is operating properly.
If hot air is detected, the unit will emit a load pulsating alarm and a RED
indicator light (LED) will be ashing quickly at the same time until the air
is clear.
In normal operation, the radio link module is working under sleep mode. It
will open the receiving window for a short time every 20 seconds.
TESTING YOUR HEAT ALARM
It is recommended that you test your alarm once a week to ensure
the detector is working correctly. Push and hold the test button for
approximately 3 seconds (at least 20 seconds to trigger other alarms). A
loud pulsating alarm should sound and a RED indicator light (LED) will ash
at the same time.
