Kidde KF30 Wired Interlinked Heat Alarm with Replaceable battery

WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE COVER OR CLEAN INSIDE HEAT ALARM. THIS HEAT ALARM CAN BE INTERCONNECTED ONLY WITH OTHER SPECIFIED FIREX & KIDDE ALARMS. INTERCONNECT MAX 24 UNITS. REFER TO USER GUIDE. CAUTION: DANGER OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS INCORRECTLY REPLACED. SEE USER GUIDE FOR BATTERY INFORMATION AND DISPOSAL GUIDELINES.

WARNING: HEAT ALARMS ALONE ARE NOT SUFFICIENT FOR LIFE SAFETY AS THEY ARE NOT DESIGNED TO DETECT SMOKE. THEY ARE INTENDED TO DETECT TEMPERATURES OF 57°C AND ABOVE TO PROVIDE AN ADDITIONAL SOURCE OF INFORMATION THAT IS SUPPLEMENTARY TO THAT PROVIDED BY SMOKE ALARMS TO INCREASE THE PROBABILITY THAT AN EARLY WARNING WILL BE PROVIDED AND SO ENHANCE LIFE SAFETY AND PROPERTY PROTECTION. SEE HEAT ALARMS HAVE LIMITATIONS IN THE IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION SECTION OF THE USER GUIDE.

WARNING The KF30R requires constant 230V AC power AND fully charged batteries to operate properly. It requires 2 full days under mains power to reach full back up capacity. The batteries are not replaceable. Do not connect heat alarm to any other type of device except those listed in this user guide. The KF30 and KF30LL heat alarm requires constant 230V AC power AND a healthy 9V DC battery to operate properly. Removal of battery and loss or disconnection of AC power will render the alarm inoperative. DO NOT use any other kind of battery except as specified in this user guide. Do not connect heat alarm to any other type of device except those listed in this user guide. The TEST/FALSE ALARM CONTROL button accurately tests all heat alarm functions. DO NOT use any other test method for routine testing. Test heat alarm weekly to ensure proper operation. Higher ceilings will increase the time needed by the heat alarm to detect a fire. In most dwellings the ceiling height will keep this reaction time within acceptable limits. However, ceilings with a height of over 6m may delay the reaction time of the heat alarm significantly. Advice from your local distributor or Fire Brigade should be obtained when installing a heat alarm on a ceiling higher than 6m. This heat alarm should be installed only by a qualified electrician. The installation should comply with BS 7671 and all prevailing local, regional and national codes.

This heat alarm is designed to be used only as part of the protection of a single family dwelling or a house in multiple occupation (HMO) of no more than two stories. It also may be used in conjunction with smoke alarms within individual flats or apartments in larger houses in multiple occupation, to provide an early warning to occupants of a fire in a room within the dwelling, but a communal fire alarm system also should be provided in such cases. DO NOT install this heat alarm in any other buildings, such as hotels, motels, dormitories, hospitals, nursing homes or group homes of any kind. In these occupancies, a complete automatic fire detection and alarm system, complying with BS 5839: Part 1, should be installed. Heat alarms should be used only in conjunction with smoke alarms, with which the heat alarms should be interconnected, in order to provide early warning of heat, smoke, or fire. Smoke alarms should be installed on every level of the dwelling. Interconnected heat alarms and smoke alarms offer maximum protection. By interconnecting heat alarms and smoke alarms, when one unit senses heat, smoke, or fire, and sounds its alarm, all others will sound as well. DO NOT connect this heat alarm to any other type of alarm except those stated in this user guide or an approved auxiliary device. Heat alarms interconnected with smoke alarms may not alert every household member every time. The alarm sounder of the heat alarm is loud in order to alert individuals of a potential danger. However, there may be limiting circumstances where an occupant may not hear the alarm (e.g., outdoor or indoor noise, sound sleepers, drug or alcohol usage, impaired hearing, etc.). Household members must hear the alarm’s warning sound and quickly respond to it to reduce the risk of damage, injury, or death that may result from fire.

Check carefully that, when any one device operates, the alarm signal given by interconnected devices is clearly audible throughout the building, particularly in bedrooms, where it is essential that the alarm signal will wake sleeping occupants. This heat alarm can sound an alarm only when it detects temperatures of 57°C or above. Heat alarms do not sense smoke or gas. In some fires, hazardous levels of toxic chemicals and smoke can build up before a heat alarm will operate. Temperatures may not reach 57°C to activate the heat alarm QUICKLY ENOUGH to ensure safe escape. Some fires are slow smouldering, low heat-producing, or are in a different room to that in which the heat alarm is located, or the heat from the fire may bypass the alarm – the heat alarm may not give a warning under these circumstances. HEAT ALARMS HAVE LIMITATIONS. This heat alarm is not guaranteed to protect lives or property. Heat alarms are not a substitute for insurance. Householders should insure their lives and property. In addition, as with any electronic device, it is possible for the heat alarm to fail at any time. Never paint this heat alarm.

WARNING: BEFORE USING THE ALARM’S HUSH FEATURE, FULLY IDENTIFY THE SOURCE OF THE HEAT BUILD UP AND MAKE SURE THAT THE AREA IS SAFE. TO ACTIVATE CONTROL PUSH AND RELEASE THE TEST/FALSE ALARM CONTROL BUTTON IN THE CENTER OF THE ALARM. THE ALARM WILL SILENCE IMMEDIATELY AND THE RED LIGHT (LED) WILL BLINK APPROXIMATELY EVERY 10 SECONDS FOR THE NEXT 10 MINUTES. THIS FEATURE IS TO BE USED ONLY WHEN A SAFE CONDITION IS KNOWN TO EXIST. WARNING: TEST EACH HEAT ALARM AND SMOKE ALARM TO BE SURE THAT EACH IS INSTALLED CORRECTLY AND IS OPERATING PROPERLY. STAND AT ARM’S LENGTH FROM THE HEAT ALARM WHEN TESTING. THE ALARM SOUNDER IS LOUD TO ALERT YOU TO AN EMERGENCY AND CAN BE HARMFUL TO HEARING. TEST THE HEAT ALARM WEEKLY AND UPON RETURNING FROM HOLIDAY, OR WHEN THE HOUSE HAS BEEN UNOCCUPIED FOR SEVERAL DAYS. WARNING: IF THE HEAT ALARM SOUNDS, AND THE HEAT ALARM IS NOT BEING TESTED, THE HEAT ALARM IS SENSING A TEMPERATURE OF 57°C OR ABOVE. THE ALARM SOUND REQUIRES YOUR IMMEDIATE ATTENTION AND ACTION. EVACUATE THE DWELLING IMMEDIATELY! DANGER: ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD. TURN OFF THE AC SUPPLY TO THE HEAT ALARM AT THE MAIN DISTRIBUTION BOARD BY REMOVING THE FUSE OR SWITCHING THE APPROPRIATE CIRCUIT BREAKER TO THE OFF POSITION BEFORE CLEANING THE HEAT ALARM. WARNING: HEAT ALARMS ARE LIFE-SAVING DEVICES AND SHOULD BE CARED FOR PERIODICALLY WARNING: BATTERIES NOT REPLACEABLE IN THE KF30LL OR KF30R. MODEL KF30R HAS PERMANENTLY MOUNTED RECHARGEABLE LITHIUM BATTERIES THAT ARE DESIGNED TO LAST THE USEFUL LIFE OF THE ALARM. CAUTION: DANGER OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS INCORRECTLY REPLACED. USE ONLY THE BATTERIES SPECIFIED IN THE USER USER GUIDE. WARNING: DO NOT USE ANY OTHER TYPE OF BATTERY, EXCEPT AS SPECIFIED IN THIS USER GUIDE. DO NOT USE RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES.
