Smoke and heat Alarms
Multi-Criteria Detection
Optical smoke alarms use an optical chamber to "see" the smoke.
Certain fire types are recognized with some delays only. Multi-criteria detection
therefore ads a thermal sensor and use an intelligent algorithm to improve
reaction speed, and reduce the number of false alarms.
Low Profile Design
Honeywell's low profile design utilising rounded corners, sleek round design
and low profile height make the unit seem a lot smaller than it really is.
Honeyruell have employed design agencies and end user market research to
select the best suitable concept.
Full Ten Year Lifespan and Warranty
Honeywell's full product lifespan warranty is one of the most comprehensive in
the industry This is backed up with more than 50 years of fire alarm experience
producing some of the most reliable alarms in the market. Honeyvvell is one of
the few companies in the market to offer a full ten year lifespan and ten year
warranty on its smoke and heat alarms.
lndependent 3rd Party Certification and Q-Label
All residential smoke alarms being sold in the EU must be cedified by a 3rd
party, for example VdS, against EN14604 which is the standard for residential
smoke alarms. This sets the minimum requirements for smoke alarms to be
sold, whether it is for DIY or professional use. The Q-Label is a voluntary
additional 3rd party certification, which is granted to high quality smoke
alarms. Smoke alarms with the Q-Label are tested for long-life, minimised false
alarms, increased protection against adverse environmental conditions and
have a sealed battery with at least 10 years lifetime.
CE Mark
The CE mark affixed to this product confirms its compliance with the European
Directives which apply to the product and, in particular, its compliance with
the harmonised specifications of standard EN 14604 relating to Construction
Products Directive 89/1 06/EEC.
BSI Kitemark
The BSI Kitemark is a product or service certification mark that shows it has
been tested independently and audited to ensure it meets the appropriate
standards of quality and safety.
NF Mark
The NF - Smoke Alarm Devices mark provides assurance as to safety and
consistent quality inspected by experts. Through its rigorous and exhaustive
inspections (holdels quality management system, product inspections,
audits and monitoring tests, etc.), the NF mark represents a comprehensive
guarantee for consumers that the certified products are compliant. The
NF - Smoke Alarm Devices mark confirms the product's compliance with
certification rules NF 292.
Automatic Self-adiustment / Self Checks
Honeywell's smoke and heat alarms have been fitted with an automatic self test
function which ensures the unit is functioning properly. Every ten seconds, the
unit tests critical systems to ensure accurate alerts are delivered rapidly once a
fire is detected.
Clearly Visible Alarms
Honeywell have integrated a set of clearly visible LED lights into the perimeter
of the unit, ensuring the alarm can be seen from all angles- This feature greatly
helps people who have hearing troubles so may not hear the alarm.
Heat Alarms
Combining fast levels of detection with minimum false alarms, the Honeywell
XH100 Heat Alarm is best suited to areas with high levels of dust or fumes,
such as kitchens and garages.
Dirt Compensation
Honeywell's unique dirt compensation ensures that nuisance alarms are kept to a
minimum. By not confusing dust with smoke, the X-Series smoke and heat alarms
only sound when a hazard is detected.
X-Series Alarms
Sealed Housing
Honeywell's X-Series alarms all have sealed housings. lt protects the
electronics from adverse environmental conditions like humidity, and
improves reliability and lifetime. We have been successfully using this
technology for many years in our commercial smoke alarms, which are
being used in harsh conditions like warehouses.
Alarm Hush
There might be situations where the unit is in full alarm, and you want
to mute the 85dB loud alarm sounder, e.g. when the situation is under
control. Pressing the button on the unit will mute the sounder for 5
minutes, whilst the alarm light will keep on flashing as long as the alarm
detects a threat.
Fault Hush
A typical fault occurs when the alarm warns of an almost depleted
battery. The alarm will start to bleep once per minute accompanied by
a flashing fault light. The Fault Hush allows you to mute the sounder for
24 hours, giving you time to address the fault. lf you wish to restart the
24 hour timer in the morning, you can press the button a second time.
Reduced Sound Level Test
Alarms need to be tested regularly, to ensure they are working properly.
After pressing the button, the alarm will start its internal self-test, flash all
lights and sounding the buzzer. Honeywell has reduced the sound level
for this test function considerably from the full alarm level of 85dB. lt still
tests the alarm, but your ears are being protected. BTW: By pressing the
alarm for more than 3 seconds, the full alarm level will sound.
Tamper-Proof
Many professional landlords want to ensure that installed alarms cannot
be stopped from normal operation by the end-user. ln the past, tenants
have often removed the batteries to use them for instance in TV remote
controls. Honeywell's X-Series alarms all have sealed batteries, which
cannot be removed by the end-user. Also, once installed, a tool like a
screwdriver is required to switch the unit off or remove it.
Maintenance Free Operation
All Honeywell X-Series alarms have batteries, which last the whole
lifetime of the alarms. No additional cost for batteries or labour cost to
replace them occur. The same applies for the CO sensor: lt lasts the
whole lifetime of up to 10 years. The only required maintenance is the
occasional cleaning of the product.
lnterlink
Interlink means the connection of several alarms to an alarm system. So if
one unit goes into alarm, all other units will sound as well. This improves
considerably the safety especially in larger accommodations like multi-
story houses. All X-Series alarms can be upgraded, to connect wirelessly.
All mains powered Honeywell X-Series alarms can be linked by wire.
Battery Back-up
l\/lains powered alarms can be effected by power outages. Therefore,
all Honeywell mains powered X-Series alarms are fitted with a battery
backup.
