1. ULLH10RF PRODUCT OVERVIEW
All UltraFire heat alarms are approved to BS5446:2: 2003 the most recent
and rigorous Standard. The ULLH10RF comes with Advanced Thermistor
based detection, controlled by bespoke software that is specically designed
for applications where smoke alarms would be unsuitable, such as kitchens,
garages and dusty areas.
Product Features
• Radio interlinkable to other heat, smoke or carbon monoxide alarms. By
connecting up to 15 alarms, they will be connected by radio link so that
when one alarm sounds all connected alarms will sound.
• Two sealed in long life batteries.
• Bespoke software maximises detection ability, false alarm rejection and
Alarm Silence operation.
• Power automatically switched on as alarm is installed onto its Radio
Pattress and switched o when it is removed.
• Red LED ashes approximately every minute conrming the alarm is
receiving power and ready to detect re conditions.
• End of life low battery warning beeps once every minute.
• Low battery warning silence allows you to silence the warning at night
and replace the alarm during the following day.
• Extra large test button for ease of use to test sensitivity, circuitry, battery
and alarm sounder.
• Loud 85 dB piezo-electric sounder automatically resets when hazardous
situation has passed.
• Alarm Silence feature allows you to silence nuisance alarms by pressing
the test button, ideal in non-emergency situations. The red LED
ashes every 2-3 seconds while the alarm is in the silenced mode and
automatically resets in approximately ten minutes.
• Easy installation. Fixing screw kit supplied and there is no need to t the
batteries!

2. CHOICE AND LOCATION OF ALARMS
NOTE: For minimum total property protection install at least one smoke alarm
in the escape route from each oor of your home and within 3 metres of all
bedroom doors.
Heat alarms are most suitable for kitchens, boiler rooms, workshops and
garages where steam, cooking fumes, dirt and dust contaminate smoke alarms
causing nuisance alarms and in some cases a failure to detect a re early.
When installing heat alarms in living and working accommodation they should
always be interlinked to smoke alarms and should not be used in escape routes
from the building.
Photoelectric (Optical) Smoke Alarms are best for sensing smouldering res
and are therefore most suitable for rooms containing soft furnishings, carpets
bedding and clothes, such as hallways, living rooms and bedrooms.
Optical alarms are recommended by BS5839 part 6 for living accommodation
where most res are started by electrical equipment and smouldering material.
These alarms should be interconnected to heat alarms. See diagrams below.
All alarms should be interlinked.
Recommended siting of smoke and heat alarms in:
SINGLE STOREY HOME WITH ONE
SLEEPING AREA
SINGLE STOREY HOME WITH TWO
SLEEPING AREAS
MULTIPLE STOREY HOME WITH
MULTIPLE SLEEPING AREAS
3. AVOID THE FOLLOWING LOCATIONS
The life of the alarm can be signicantly reduced by adverse environments, incorrect
location and a failure to regularly clean and maintain it according to the following
instructions. Incorrect location and a lack of reasonable care may also cause it to
malfunction and will invalidate the warranty.
• 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 40°C or
fall below 0°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 300mm from walls and beams due to still air.
• Do not install less than 300mm from light ttings.
• 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 uorescent light ttings that could cause
nuisance alarms.
• Do not paint the alarm.
• The location of alarms must be in accordance with Part B of the applicable
Building Regulations. Further help and guidance can also be found in
BS5839 Part 6.
WARNING: Do not store alarms in temperatures below 5 degrees and above
30 degrees, and in low humidity; this may cause beeping and nuisance alarms
when rst installed. These will clear after a short time when the alarm has become
acclimatised. Extended periods under these conditions will reduce the life of the
alarms and invalidate the warranty.
4. You need to ensure surfaces do not contain hazardous materials eg asbestos.
The screw ttings supplied are suitable for use on wood, plaster and
plasterboard but on other surfaces such as concrete where adhesive material
or adhesive pads may be better. For certain applications, the installer may
need to source their own xings.
5. Screw the pattress to ceiling using the xings provided. You may also use
double sided xing pads. Alternatively, you may use any proprietary builders
xing adhesive normally used to x skirting boards and other light building
components to walls etc.
6. Once the base is xed to the ceiling, line the alarm head up with the marked
arrows and twist to lock in place.
NOTE: Be sparing with any adhesives used on the back of the radio pattress to
avoid excess adhesive squeezing through holes onto the circuit board. When
using adhesive pads or adhesives make sure the surfaces are ake free, clean,
dry and at. Take care to use all appropriate Health and Safety precautions when
xing the pattress and alarm to their surface - in particular use appropriate access
equipment, protect yourself from dust and wear eye protection.
Do not change any components of the system for those made by other
manufacturers. Up to 15 alarms may be paired to the system.
WARNING: The electronic test button provides a full test of the alarm’s
functionality. Do not try to test the alarm using either heat, smoke, or naked ame
as damage will occur.
Recommended position of alarms in a room, corridor or escape route:
• At least one smoke alarm should be installed in the escape route from all
oors of the building.
• The detection element of the heat alarm should be between 25mm and
150mm below the ceiling.
• Heat alarms should be mounted at least 300mm from any wall or light tting.
• Heat alarms should NOT be mounted on walls.
• Do not use heat alarms in escape routes.
• No heat alarm should be further than 5.3 metres from other heat or smoke
alarms.
• To give the earliest warning of a developing re, smoke and heat alarms (as
appropriate) should be installed in all rooms of your home and interlinked.
4. INTERLINK INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preparing the alarms:
a. Plug the alarm into the RF base and switch the RF base on.
b. Fit the alarm onto the RF base and twist to lock them; the alarm will
beep twice to indicate it is powered on.
c. Repeat these steps for all alarms you wish to interlink.
2. Interlinking the alarms:
a. Press the test button on one alarm, wait 3 seconds, and then press
the test button on a second alarm; the alarms will sound a test
sequence.
b. The LED indicators on both RF bases will ash green and red for a
while before one will ash only green, the other will continue with red
and green until it beeps and then will also ash only green.
c. If adding further alarms to the system keep the alarm that beeped in
the last step, move the other to the side, take a new unlinked alarm,
then repeat steps a. and b. until all alarms have been connected.
3. If any RF base ashes red only during the interlinking steps or if you need to
remove an alarm from your system for any reason:
a. Push the security tag in the side of the alarm, then twist to separate
the alarm and the RF base.
b. Press the black button inside the RF base, next to the on/o switch;
the LED on the RF base should ash red four times.
c. You can now attempt to interlink the alarm again, or turn the RF base
o and unplug the alarm to remove it from the system.
5. INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
Refer to the separate “Instructions for Pairing Radio Linked Alarms” in the
previous section.
1. When the pairing of the complete system has been completed, test all alarms
to make sure they all link to one another. If they do not, re-pair the alarms
according to the instructions in the previous section.
2. Take the alarms to the rooms they are to be installed in and test the system
again to make sure that they still operate correctly in their new location.
3. Now separate the alarms from their radio pattresses by depressing the
security tag shown below and twisting the alarm anticlockwise
