Overview
This heat alarm is a re detection
and alarm device which gives o󰀨
an audible and visual warning
when the ambient temperature
reaches 54°C to 70°C. These
temperatures are abnormal in
a typical setting and thus are
likely to be caused by an actual
re. Heat alarms are ideal for
areas with a risk of re but
where traditional smoke alarms
would experience regular false
alarms, such as in kitchens and garages. A heat alarm is not suitable for
bathrooms and other excessively humid rooms.
During standby, the LED will ash every 32 seconds to indicate normal
operation. When in alarm mode the LED ashes approximately once per
second and the alarm enters into one of the alarm patterns described in
the Alarm Signals section.

Suitability
UltraFire’s range of battery-powered re detection and alarm devices are
designed to meet BS 5839-6 Grade F2 requirements. Even if interlinked
as a network with multiple sensor types, these alarms are only intended
for use in single household premises which are permitted to use battery-
powered alarms.
Local Building Regulations, legislation, or other requirements may
specify mains-powered alarms, in which case this product is not suitable.
Multi-household domestic premises and commercial premises usually
require more advanced re detection and alarm systems.

Alarm Silence Mode
WARNING: Before silencing an active alarm you must ensure the
environment is safe. Do not silence the alarm in the event of an actual
re, as this may prevent other occupants from evacuating.
When in alarm mode, pushing the test button will silence the unit for
approximately 10 minutes. The red LED will ash as per the Status
Indicators section to indicate that the alarm has been silenced.
The alarm will automatically reset after approximately 10 minutes. If after
this period there are still signs of a potential re then the alarm will sound
again. The alarm silence mode can be repeated.
Do Not Disturb Mode
When the alarm is indicating any kind of fault it will chirp as per the
Status Indicators section. Pressing the silence button at this time will
silence the warning for approximately 8 to 10 hours, ideal for postponing
corrective action overnight.
The alarm will still continue to monitor for signs of a potential re during
this time, providing the fault does not prevent normal operation, so it may
go into alarm mode. The alarm’s Do Not Disturb Mode only prevents the
fault warning chirp.

Placement
UltraFire Wireless Heat Alarms
must be installed on the ceiling, at
least 30cm from the nearest wall,
light tting, or other obstruction.
These alarms should be installed no
more than 150mm vertically below
the apex of a pitched ceiling. Where
the depth from apex to eaves is
600mm or less the ceiling should be
treated as at.
Try to ensure that the alarm is within reach without taking any undue
risks, so that you can perform routine maintenance and replace the
batteries.
Above all else you must ensure that you follow local building regulations,
legislation, and o󰀩cial standards.

Radio-Interlink
Radio-Interlink
UltraFire radio-interlinked alarms are designed to be wirelessly
interlinked as a network with up to 50 products. These alarms need to
be “learned in” or interlinked in order to communicate with each other. If
one alarm activates, all other interlinked alarms will also sound. They are
not designed to communicate with wireless alarms from other ranges or
manufacturers.
Note: Obstructions such as steel reinforcement in concrete could block
or impede the wireless signal. While the wireless range is over 200m
in open spaces, the e󰀨ective range may be reduced by walls and other
obstructions within a building. It is recommended not to exceed 35m as
the maximum distance between the alarms in a network.

Maintenance
Maintenance
Testing
Test your alarms to ensure proper operation once per week by pressing
the test button. If there is no sound output it means that the alarm is
faulty, the batteries are at, or that the installation procedure may not
have been followed correctly. Please try replacing the batteries and
reinstalling the alarm head. If the alarm still fails to react to the test
button, please read the Troubleshooting section of this manual.
WARNING: The test button accurately tests the alarm’s components
and functions. Do not expose the alarm to an open ame. You may
contaminate and damage the sensor, preventing the alarm from
providing adequate protection from real res, and invalidate the warranty.
Note: When testing a single alarm, because the alarm transmits a
wireless signal, other connected alarms should also sound. You may
need to hold the test button for up to 30 seconds for the alarm to sound.
Once the test button has been released, the other alarms will silence
within 1 minute.
Repairing
Do not attempt to repair the alarm yourself; dismantling the alarm will
a󰀨ect your warranty. If the alarm is not operating properly, and it is still
under warranty, contact the retailer who sold you the product or the
manufacturer.

Fire Safety Advice
Fire Safety Advice
Familiarise yourself with and follow the national and local regulations
regarding selection and installation of the di󰀨erent kinds of smoke and
heat alarms.
Plan Your Escape
If an alarm sounds but you did not push the test button and it is not a
fault tone then it is likely a dangerous situation has developed in the
property. To prepare for such occurrences, it is recommended that
you develop escape plans for the premises and discuss them with all
occupants. Regular practice of your emergency plans can be vital to a
successful evacuation.
1. Familiarise everyone with the alarm patterns of all alarm devices
and explain what they represent.
2. Identify all exits from each room and plan an escape route to the
outside from each exit.
3. Teach all occupants to carefully touch doors and to use alternate
exit when the door is hot; instruct them not to open the door if the
door is hot.
4. Teach occupants to crawl along the oor, to stay below dangerous
fumes and gases.
5. Identify a safe meeting place for all occupants outside the building
and make sure everyone is aware of it.

17
What to Do in Case of Fire
What to Do in Case of Fire
1. Calmly leave the premises as quickly as possible. Follow your
personalised Escape Plan if possible; otherwise:
a. Carefully touch doors to ensure they are not hot before
opening them.
b. Use an alternate exit if necessary.
c. Crawl along the oor to avoid smoke.
d. Do not stop to collect anything.
2. Meet at a pre-arranged meeting place outside the building if there
are multiple occupants. Check if anyone is missing, but do not
re-enter the premises.
3. Call the re service from outside the building; do not delay your
escape to contact the emergency services.
4. Do not go back inside a burning building for any reason. Wait for
the re service to arrive.
NOTE: These guidelines will assist you in the event of a re; however,
UltraFire cannot predict the exact situation of any home re. Creating
your own escape plan based on your specic premises and occupants
is the best way to ensure safe evacuation. Follow re safety guidance
and legislation to reduce the chance that res will start and prevent
hazardous situations.
