ELECTRICAL RATING: 120 VAC, 60HZ, 80mA maximum per alarm (maximum 80mA for originating unit with 24 devices interconnected). IMPORTANT! READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE INSTALLATION AND KEEP THIS MANUAL NEAR THE ALARM FOR FUTURE REFERENCE. WARNING! THIS HEAT ALARM IS NOT DESIGNED TO PROTECT LIFE SAFETY AGAINST FIRE AND SMOKE.
Note A: Maximum coverage established by U.L. is based on providing equal response time as sprinkler devices spaced at 10-Ft intervals (100 Sq/Ft) on a smooth ceiling approximately 15 feet high. Higher ceilings may adversely affect response time and earlier response time may be obtained by reducing the spacing between alarms. Note B: Maximum distance is from any wall or ceiling projection extending down more than 12 inches. 2.
of alarms shall be spaced and located within 3 ft (0.9m) of the peak of the ceiling measured horizontally” (see figure 3). • In rooms with open joists or beams, all ceiling mounted alarms shall be located on the bottom of such beams (see figure 2). • Alarms installed on an open-joisted ceiling shall have their smooth ceiling spacing reduced to no more than half of the listed spacing when measured at right angles to the solid joist (See figure 2).
• In an area where the temperature may fall below -20ºF or rise above 100ºF. • Near fluorescent lights – electronic "noise" may cause nuisance alarms. • Heat alarms are not to be used with detector guards unless the combination (alarm and guard) have been evaluated and found suitable for that purpose. 4. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS WIRING REQUIREMENTS • This smoke alarm should be installed on a U.L. listed or recognized junction box.
• When mixing models which have battery backup (1275, 1276, 1285, 1296, i12040, i12060, i12080, PE120, PI2000, KN-COSM-IB, HD135F, KN-COB-IC, KN-COP-IC) with models without battery backup, (1235, i12020, KN-COSM-I, 120X, SM120X, CO120X, SL177i) be advised that the models without battery backup will not respond during an AC power failure. • The maximum wire run distance between the first and last unit in an interconnected system is 1000 feet. • Figure 4 illustrates interconnection wiring.
MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS CAUTION: THIS UNIT IS SEALED. THE COVER IS NOT REMOVABLE! 1.Remove the trim ring from the back of the alarm by holding the trim ring and twisting the alarm in the direction indicated by the “OFF” arrow on the alarm cover. 2.After selecting the proper smoke alarm location as described in Section 2 and wiring the AC QUICK CONNECT harness as described in the WIRING INSTRUCTIONS, attach the trim ring to the electrical box (see figure 5). 3.
7.Install the alarm on the trim ring with the indicating marks aligned and rotate the alarm in the direction of the “ON” arrow on the cover until the alarm snaps in place (see figure 7). 8.Turn on the AC power. The green AC Power On Indicator should be lit when the alarm is operating from AC power. TAMPER RESIST LOCKING PIN: To make your heat alarm tamper resistant, a locking pin has been provided with your alarm. Using this pin will help deter children and others from removing the alarm from trim ring.
5. OPERATION AND TESTING OPERATION: The heat alarm is operating once AC power is applied, fresh batteries are installed and testing is complete. When the heat alarm senses temperatures above 135ºF (plus or minus a few degrees), the horn will sound a loud (85 db) pulsating alarm until the temperature drops below 135ºF. LED INDICATORS: This heat alarm is equipped with red and green LED indicators. The red LED is located under the test button and has two modes of operation.
6. FALSE ALARMS To avoid false alarms,DO NOT USE WHERE ROOM TEMPERATURES WILL EXCEED 100º F. Heat alarms respond only to heat. They do not detect smoke. If the unit does alarm, check for fires first. If a fire is discovered, get out of the house and call the fire department. If no fire is present check to see if one of the reasons listed in section 3 may have caused the alarm. 7.
This smoke alarm uses a 9V carbon backup battery (alkaline and lithium batteries may also be used). A fresh battery should last for one year under normal operating conditions. This alarm has a low/missing battery monitor circuit which will cause the alarm to “chirp” approximately every 30-40 seconds for a minimum of seven (7) days when the battery gets low. Replace the battery when this condition occurs. USE ONLY THE FOLLOWING 9 VOLT BATTERIES FOR SMOKE ALARM REPLACEMENT.
8. LIMITATIONS OF HEAT ALARMS WARNING: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND THOROUGHLY • HEAT ALARMS ARE NOT DESIGNED TO PROTECT LIFE SAFETY AGAINST FIRE AND SMOKE. IN MOST FIRES, HAZARDOUS LEVELS OF TOXIC GASES, SMOKE AND HEAT CAN BUILD UP BEFORE A HEAT ALARM WILL OPERATE. IN CASES WHERE LIFE SAFETY IS AN ISSUE, HEAT ALARMS SHOULD ONLY BE USED TO PROVIDE AN ADDED SOURCE OF INFORMATION AND AS A SUPPLEMENT TO THE SMOKE ALARM INSTALLATION.
9. GOOD SAFETY HABITS DEVELOP AND PRACTICE A PLAN OF ESCAPE • Install and maintain Fire extinguishers on every level of the home and in the kitchen, basement and garage. Know how to use a fire extinguisher prior to an emergency. • Make a floor plan indicating all doors and windows and at least two (2) escape routes from each room. Second story windows may need a rope or chain ladder. • Have a family meeting and discuss your escape plan, showing everyone what to do in case of fire.
• Call the fire department from your neighbor’s home - not from yours! • Don’t return to your home until the fire officials say that it is all right to do so. There are situations where a smoke alarm may not be effective to protect against fire as stated in the NFPA Standard 72. For instance: a) smoking in bed b) leaving children home alone c) cleaning with flammable liquids, such as gasoline 10.
11. CAUTION (AS REQUIRED BY THE CALIFORNIA STATE FIRE MARSHAL) “Early warning fire detection is best achieved by the installation of fire detection equipment in all rooms and areas of the household as follows. A smoke alarm installed in each separate sleeping area (in the vicinity of, but outside of the bedrooms), and heat or smoke alarms in the living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, hallways, attics, furnace rooms, closets, utility and storage rooms, basements and attached garages.” 12.
FIVE YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY KIDDE Safety warrants to the original purchaser that the enclosed heat alarm (but not the battery) will be free from defects in material and workmanship or design under normal use and service for a period of five years from the date of purchase.

4. Introduzca el CONECTOR RÁPIDO DE CA por el orificio central del anillo de ajuste e instale el anillo, asegurándose de que los tornillos de montaje estén ubicados en los extremos pequeños de los orificios de agarre antes de apretar los tornillos (consulte la Figura 5). 5. Conecte el CONECTOR RÁPIDO DE CA en la parte posterior de la alarma (consulte la Figura 6), asegurándose de que los enganches en el conector encajen en su lugar.
Condición de alarma Cuando la unidad detecte calor y suene, el LED rojo comenzará a destellar rápidamente (un destello por segundo). El LED de destello rápido y la alarma pulsante continuarán hasta que la temperatura baje a menos de 135 º F. CUANDO LAS UNIDADES ESTÉN INTERCONECTADAS, sólo destellará rápidamente el LED rojo de la alarma de origen o de la alarma que se está probando. Todas las otras unidades en el sistema interconectado activarán una alarma, pero sus LED rojos NO destellarán rápidamente.
FIGURA 9 ¡PRECAUCIÓN! SI LA BATERÍA NO MANTIENE PRESIONADO EL ENGANCHE DE RETENCIÓN INDICADOR DE BATERÍA EN EL COMPARTIMIENTO CORRESPONDIENTE, LA PUERTA DEL COMPARTIMIENTO NO SE CERRARÁ, EL CONECTOR RÁPIDO DE CA NO SE CONECTARÁ A LA ALARMA Y, A SU VEZ, ÉSTA NO SE CONECTARÁ AL ANILLO DE AJUSTE. Esta alarma contra humo usa una batería de emergencia de carbón de 9 V (también se pueden usar baterías de litio y alcalinas).
DETECTAN INCENDIOS, YA QUE ES POSIBLE QUE SE PRODUZCA UN INCENDIO DE EXPANSIÓN LENTA (QUE PRODUZCA HUMO) DEL TIPO QUE PRODUCE POCO CALOR, QUE EL INCENDIO SEA EN UNA HABITACIÓN DISTINTA A LA DE LA ALARMA O QUE EL CALOR DEL INCENDIO NO PASE CERCA DE LA ALARMA. ESTA ALARMA NO DETECTARÁ HUMO, GASES NI LLAMAS. • LOS INCENDIOS EN LAS CASAS SE PUEDEN PRODUCIR DE DIFERENTES FORMAS Y, CON FRECUENCIA, SON IMPREDECIBLES.
QUÉ HACER CUANDO SUENA LA ALARMA • Salga inmediatamente de la casa de acuerdo con su plan de escape. Cada segundo cuenta, no se detenga para vestirse o tomar objetos de valor. • Al salir de la casa, no abra ninguna puerta interior sin primero tocar su superficie. Si está caliente o si ve humo filtrándose por los bordes, ¡no abra esa puerta! En lugar de eso, use la salida de emergencia alternativa.
