LIMITATIONS OF HEAT ALARMS
<br />This Heat Alarm is not a Smoke Alarm. This unit is not suitable protection
<br />when used alone. Do not use this unit as the only means of fire detection
<br />in a home. This unit is intended for use as a supplement to Smoke
<br />Alarms.
<br />Heat Alarms are not life safety devices.
<br />Heat Alarms are intended for use as supplements to Smoke Alarms.
<br />Because this unit cannot detect smoke, carbon monoxide or other toxic gases,
<br />do not rely solely on this Heat Alarm in a fire emergency. Slow developing fires
<br />may produce smoke and toxic gasses without a significant increase in room
<br />temperatures. For this reason, Heat Alarms are only to be installed as
<br />supplementary protection with Smoke Alarms.
<br />Heat Alarms cannot work without power.AC powered Heat Alarms and
<br />Smoke Alarms cannot work if the AC power is cut off for any reason (open
<br />fuse or circuit breaker, failure along a power line or at a power station,
<br />electrical fire that burns the electrical wires, etc.).
<br />AC units with battery (DC) back-up: will operate if electricity fails, provided
<br />the batteries are fresh and correctly installed. AC and AC/DC units must be
<br />installed by a qualified electrician.
<br />Heat Alarms for Solar or Wind Energy users and battery backup power
<br />systems:AC powered Heat Alarms should only be operated with true or pure
<br />sine wave inverters. Operating this Heat Alarm with most battery-powered
<br />UPS (uninterruptible power supply) products or square wave or “quasi sine
<br />wave” inverters will damage the Alarm. If you are not sure about your inverter
<br />or UPS type, please consult with the manufacturer to verify.
<br />Heat Alarms cannot sense fires if the heat does not reach them.Heat
<br />from fires in chimneys or walls, on roofs, or on the other side of closed doors
<br />may not reach the sensing chamber and set off the alarm. That is why one
<br />unit should be installed on every floor, in the attic, basement and garage and
<br />only as a supplement to Smoke Alarms.
<br />Heat Alarms may not sense heat from a fire on another level of the home.
<br />Example: a stand-alone unit on the second floor may not detect heat from a
<br />fire in a crawl space until the fire spreads. This may not give you enough time
<br />to escape safely. That is why recommended minimum protection is at least
<br />one Smoke Alarm on every level of your home and Heat Alarms in any areas
<br />not suitable for Smoke Alarms. Even with a unit on every floor, stand-alone
<br />units may not provide as much protection as interconnected units, especially
<br />if the fire starts in a remote area. Interconnected units may provide earlier
<br />warning than stand-alone units since all units alarm when one senses heat
<br />or smoke.
<br />Heat Alarms may not be heard. The alarm horn loudness meets or exceeds
<br />the current UL standard. However, if the device is installed outside the bed-
<br />room, it may not wake up a sound sleeper or one who has recently used
<br />drugs or has been drinking alcoholic beverages. This is especially true if the
<br />door is closed or only partly open. Even persons who are awake may not
<br />hear the alarm horn if the sound is blocked by distance or closed doors.
<br />Noise from traffic, stereo, radio, television, air conditioner, or other appliances
<br />may also prevent alert persons from hearing the alarm horn. This alarm
<br />device is not intended for people who are hearing impaired.
<br />Heat Alarms may not have time to alarm before the fire itself causes
<br />damage, injury, or death, since heat from some fires may not reach the
<br />unit immediately. Examples of this include persons smoking in bed,
<br />children playing with matches, or fires caused by violent explosions
<br />resulting from escaping gas.
<br />This Heat Alarm is not foolproof.Like any electronic device, Heat Alarms are
<br />made of components that can wear out or fail at any time. You must test the
<br />unit weekly to ensure your continued protection. Heat Alarms cannot prevent
<br />or extinguish fires. They are not a substitute for property or life insurance.
<br />Heat Alarms have a limited life.The unit should be replaced immediately if it
<br />is not operating properly. In no case should it be used for more than 10 years.
