Heat Detector Installation
Sheet
Description
The model KIR-HD Intelligent Fixed-Temperature and Rate-of-Rise
Heat Detector that contains a fixed-temperature heat sensor to detect
heat from fire. The heat sensor monitors the temperature of the air in
its surroundings and the detector analyzes the data to determine
whether to initiate an alarm.
LED indicator. The LED indicator (see Figure 1) displays the following
states:
•Normal: Green LED indicator flashes, no action
•Alarm/active: Red LED indicator flashes, evacuate the area

Installation
Install and wire this device in accordance with applicable national and
local codes, ordinances, and regulations.
WARNINGS
•Independent studies indicate that heat detectors should only be
used when property protection alone is involved. Never rely on
heat detectors as the sole means of fire protection.
Note:
•To ensure proper operation, store the detector within the
recommended ranges. Allow the detector to stabilize to room
temperature before applying power.
•The dust cover (supplied) must remain on the detector during
installation and be removed prior to commissioning and service.
The dust cover is not a substitute for removing the detector during
new construction or heavy remodeling.
•This detector does not operate without electrical power. As fires
frequently cause power interruption, discuss further safeguards
with the local fire protection specialist.
•This detector does not sense fires in areas where heat cannot
reach the detector. Heat from fires in walls, roofs, or on the
opposite side of closed doors may not reach the detector.
•This detector by itself does not provide smoke or fire protection.
Use this detector with ionization or photoelectric smoke detectors,
or both.
•This detector does not detect oxygen levels, smoke, toxic gases,
or flames. Use this device as part of a broad-based life safety
program, which includes a variety of information sources pertaining
to heat and smoke levels, extinguishment systems, visible and
audible devices, and other safety measures.
•In Canada, install according to CAN/ULC-S524 Standard for the
Installation of Fire Alarm Systems, CSA C22.1 Canadian Electrical
Code Part 1, and the local authority having jurisdiction.
To install the detector:
1. Install and wire the base, as described on the installation sheet
supplied with the base.
2. Set the detector address. Refer to the panel technical reference
manual for a list of valid addresses. Use a screwdriver to adjust
the two rotary switches on the back of the detector.
(See Figure 2.) Set the left rotary switch (0 through 12) for the 10s
and 100s digit and the right rotary switch for the 0 through 9 digit.
3. Attach the detector to the base by rotating the detector clockwise
until it snaps into the locked position.

Testing
Before testing, notify the proper authorities that the fire alarm system is
undergoing maintenance and will be temporarily out of service.
Test each sensor in the detector.
Caution: Heat damage. Excessive heat may damage the detector
outer cover. Do not apply excessive heat when using a hair dryer.
When using a Testifire detector tester, you must install a Testifire
Adapter Assembly.
Make sure the Testifire Adapter Assembly (model
SIGA2-TSTSPACER) is installed in the Testifire detector tester before
testing. Refer to the Testifire Adapter Assembly Installation Sheet
(P/N 3101942-ML) for further details.
To perform an initial installation test:
1. Remove the detector from its base and verify that the proper
detector address, trouble signals, and messages are reported.
2. If wired for Class A operation, verify that the detector continues to
operate first with SLC_IN disconnected, reconnect SLC_IN and
then with SLC_OUT disconnected. (Refer to the installation sheet
for the base.)
3. Place a momentary ground fault on the SLC to verify operation of
the ground fault detection circuitry.
4. Run a system detector maintenance report on all detectors and
verify that the readings fall within acceptable limits.
5. Perform a sensor function test, as described below.
To perform a function test:
1. If desired, use the fire alarm control panel to put the detector or
zone into a service group for testing. (Refer to the panel technical
reference manual for instructions.)
2. Activate the heat sensor using a hair dryer (maintaining a distance
of three inches) or using a Testifire detector tester per the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Maintenance
To ensure proper operation, plan maintenance in accordance with the
requirements of the authority having jurisdiction. Refer to
CAN/ULC-S536 Standard for the Inspection and Testing of Fire Alarm
Systems and NFPA 72 National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code.
Refer to application bulletin P/N 3102534-EN for additional information
and cleaning instructions.
