WHERE HEAT-ONLY MODE CAN BE USED
Combustion particles are by-products of something burning. To avoid false alarms, you can install
your detectors in heat-only mode in or near areas where
non-dangerous combustion particles are typically present but do not pose a fire hazard, such as
kitchens with few windows or poor ventilation. If the distance from the detector to places where
combustion particles are normally present is less than 20 feet (6 meters) – such as in kitchens or
mobile homes, install only the heat detector as far away from the combustion particles as possible,
preferably on the wall. To prevent false alarms, provide good ventilation in such places.
IMPORTANT:
Never try to avoid false alarms by disabling the detector.

In damp or very humid areas or near bathrooms with showers. Moisture in humid air can enter
the sensing chamber, and then turns into droplets upon cooling, which can cause false smoke
alarms.

In very dusty or dirty areas, dirt and dust can build up on the detector's sensing chamber, to
make it overly sensitive.

Additionally, dust or dirt can block openings to the sensing chamber and keep the detector from
sensing smoke.
INSTALLATION
The smoke and heat detector is to be mounted on the ceiling or on the wall, if necessary. Since the
smoke and heat detector is a single-station type, it cannot be linked to other detectors.
WARNING:
Do not connect the smoke and heat detectors to any other alarm or auxiliary
device. Connecting anything else to this detector will prevent it from working
properly.
Read the "Where to install your smoke and heat detector" and "Where not to install your smoke and
"
heat detectors sections in this manual before installing.
To install the detector (see Figures 7 & 8)
1. Select the installation location.
2. Remove the locking pin securing the mounting bracket to the unit (see Figure 7).
3. Remove the mounting bracket from the unit by rotating it counterclockwise.
4. Use the bracket as a template for marking the mounting holes.
5. Using an appropriate drill, drill two holes at the marks and insert anchors.
6. Using screws (supplied) attach the bracket to the wall as shown in Figure 7.
