Owner's Manual

WARNING, If the heat alarm sounds, and the heat alarm is
not being tested, the heat alarm is activated and requires
your immediate attention and action.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
1. If a zinc oxide or alkaline battery is used, the battery
should be renewed at least once a year.
2. Heat alarms are virtually maintenance free. However,
vacuuming the unit at least once every six months will
remove dust.
3. Wipe the enclosure clean with a water moistened
cloth. Do not immerse this unit or use household
cleaners. Do not apply paint or spray with any liquid.
4. All Clipsal heat alarms are manufactured and tested
to rigorous quality standards and have a minimum life
expectancy of 10 years. However, for your safety we
recommend replacing your Heat alarm with a new
Clipsal unit after 10 years. This will ensure that you are
always protected by a heat alarm that is operating
within the limits of its life expectancy.
DANGER, electric shock hazard. Turn off the a.c., 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 replacing the battery or cleaning the
heat alarm.
FITTING TAMPER PIN
A tamper resistant feature on the heat alarm may be used
to precent unauthorised removal of the heat alarm from the
mounting plate.
• From the back of the heat alarm remove the mounting
plate. Twist out and remove one of the pins moulded
into the plate. (Both pins are exactly the same).
• Position heat alarm to mounting plate and turn
clockwise to lock into place. To engage tamper resist
feature, insert pin into notch on edge of heat alarm.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Always turn off the a.c., supply to the heat alarm before
replacing the battery. Replace the battery at least once
annually, or immediately when the low battery signal
sounds once a minute, even though the heat alarm is
receiving a.c. power. Use only the following batteries as
replacements in this heat alarm: Eveready 216, 522, 1222,
Duracell MN 1604 or Ultralife U9VL - J.
The battery should only be relaced by a qualifi ed electrician
or similarly qualifi ed person.

1. Connect the heat alarm as per the fi gure below;
2. Close the cover over the terminal block supplied and fi x
the junction box in place.
3. Open the battery compartment door. Connect a
healthy 9V d.c. battery to the battery connector inside
the battery compartment. Be sure the battery is securely
connected. The heat alarm may beep briefl y when the
battery is installed.
4. Close the battery compartment door, snapping it
into place.
5. Attach the connector plug to the pins on the back of the
heat alarm. The plug will only fi t one way, and will snap
into place.
6. Gently tug the connector to be sure it is
attached securely.
7. Position the heat alarm on the mounting plate and turn
it clockwise to lock it into place.
8. Test the heat alarm to verify the 9V d.c., battery
back-up. See “TESTING THE HEAT ALARM”.
NOTE: The heat alarm will not mount the plate if the
battery is not in place.
10. Turn on the power to the heat alarm circuit at the main
distribution board.
11. Test the heat alarm for mains supply operation. See
“TESTING THE HEAT ALARM”.
INTERCONNECTING HEAT ALARMS
Use 1.5mm
2
minimum solid or stranded cable with a rating
of 240V. When interconnecting heat alarms and / or Smoke
Alarms, the maximum cable length between any two should
be 450m for 1.5mm
2
cable (20 ohm loop resistance.)
This Heat alarm may be interconnected with as many as 39
other Clipsal Lifesaver 755 Series Heat and Smoke Alarms.
Do not connect to any other type of model of Heat alarm or
Smoke Alarm. Connect all interconnected Heat and Smoke
Alarms to a single fi nal circuit.
Connecting the switch wire terminal in any other way to that
shown in this instruction may result in damage to the Heat
alarm, failure to operate or an electrical shock hazard. It
also voids the warranty.
RED AND GREEN LED INDICATORS
This heat alarm features a red and green LED indicator
that can be seen through the clear light pipe on the top of
alarm. The LEDs indicate the following:
GREEN ON - a.c. power is present.
OFF- a.c. power is not present.
RED BLINKS ONCE A MINUTE - d.c. power
is present indicating normal operation.
OFF- d.c. power is not present.
BLINKS ONCE A SECOND and unit is
sounding alarm - senses temperature of
73° to comply within the range of 58°C to
88°C per AS1603.3-1996.
OFF and unit is sounding alarm - Another
interconnected smoke/heat alarm in the
network has alarmed.
TESTING THE HEAT ALARM
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.
Test all heat alarms weekly by doing the following:
1. Check the Test push-button. A constant ON green light
indicates the Heat alarm is receiving a.c. power.
2. Firmly depress the Test push-button for at least fi ve (5)
seconds. The Heat alarm will sound a loud beep. The
alarm may sound for up to ten (10) seconds after the
Push-to-Test button is released.
NOTE: If heat alarms are interconnected, all heat
alarms should sound an alarm within three (3) seconds
after any Test button is pushed and the tested heat
alarm sounds.
3. If the heat alarm does not sound, turn off the power to
the heat alarm circuit at the main distribution board
and check the wiring. Retest the heat alarm.
4. Do not apply excessive force to the Test push-button.
Doing so may damage the unit and void the warranty.
5. Never use an open fl ame of any type to test the alarm.
You may damage the alarm or set fi re to your home.
Operating the Test push-button will check for
correct functioning.
Warning. Do not use any other type of battery except as
specifi ed in this manual. Do not use rechargeable batteries.
1. Turn off the a.c. power supply to the heat alarm at the
main distribution board.
2. Turn the heat alarm counterclockwise to detach the
alarm. (Remove tamper pin if fi tted.)
3. Gently pull down the heat alarm. Be careful not to
separate any wire connections.
4. Pull out the connector plug from the back of the
heat alarm.
5. Remove the battery from the compartment. Disconnect
the drained battery from the battery compartment
and discard.
6. Connect a new, healthy 9V d.c. battery to the connector.
The battery will only fi t one way. Be sure the battery
connector is securely attached to the battery terminals.
7. Place the battery into the battery compartment
8. Close the battery compartment door. Push down until it
snaps into place.
9. Using the Push-to-Test button, test the heat alarm to
verify 9V d.c. battery back-up. See “TESTING THE
HEAT ALARM”.
10. Replace the connector plug. The connector will “snap”
into place. Gently tug the connector to be sure it is
attached properly.
11. Reattach the heat alarm to the mounting plate by
turning the heat alarm clockwise until it snaps
into place.
12. Turn on the a.c. power and test the heat alarm using
the Push-to-Test button. See “TESTING THE
heat alarm”.
REPAIRS AND SERVICE
This heat alarm has no user serviceable parts. Dangerous
voltages are contained within, so do not attempt to repair
this unit yourself. Instead, this heat alarm should be
