Heat detector for domestic use
The HA-58 is a heat detector meant to discover cases of fire in the first phase. If the temperature rises, the HA-58 will start emitting a loud alarm tone of at least 85dB (A). It’s advisable to test the heat detector weekly by using the test button. Attention: This heat detector only signals when the temperature rises to 55˚C or higher. It doesn’t directly detect smoke or fire. Save this manual in a secure location, like the fuse box cabinet.RECOMMENDED INSTALLATION LOCATIONS FOR THE HA-58:• Install the heat detector in areas where you cannot place a smoke detector. Ensure that it is placed in a location that ensures that, if there would be a fire nearby the detector, the escape route is still accessible.• Use multiple detectors to increase your safety and to ensure an escape route will be available in case of fire.• It’s advisable to place one heat detector in every location where there is no smoke detector.• Place at least one heat detector in the kitchen and garage, where equipment present may cause a fire.• Both heat and smoke will first move upwards, to the ceiling. Then it will travel horizontally. Wall-mounting may technically be possible but will result in a slower alarm.• When mounting the detector to the ceiling, place it at a minimum distance of 50 cm from any wall and 61 cm from any corner. Due to natural airflow, such corners will slow or prevent the detection of heat.
AVOID THE FOLLOWING LOCATION INSTALLATIONS:
• Keep away at least 3 meters from any cooking apparatus.• Do not place in the bathroom; hot showers may cause false alarms.• Do not place near a fan or near the exhaust of an air conditioner or heater.• Do not place in the nook of an A-shaped ceiling.• Do not place in rooms where the temperature can reach below 0°C or beyond 45°C.• Do not paint the heat detector and do not cover it in any way,
INSTALLATION INFORMATION:
Install the ceiling plate on a location fitting the description above using plugs and screws. Remove the plastic foil from the battery that is placed inside of the detector, plug it in the cable located inside the battery compartment and place it firmly inside the compartment. Once a battery is placed, you should be able to place the detector on the ceiling plate and rotate it easily. Test the detector first by holding the “Test”-key for 2 seconds. The RED LED will blink every minute to show the detector is still operational.
USE, TESTING, AND MAINTENANCE:
USE:The heat detector is operational if the 9-volt battery (6F22) is placed and the HA-58 is mounted to the ceiling. You can only place the detector on the ceiling plate if the 9-volt battery is installed. If the detector is operational the red LED will blink every minute. Once the measured temperature by the heat detector is higher than 55°C the alarm will go off. A loud beep will sound and the red LED will blink continuously. Once the heat dissipates, the alarm will stop automatically.Testing:By pressing the test key on the HA-58, the alarm can be tested to ensure it is still operational. Hold the key for at least 2 seconds. Operation is correct if the red LED blinks and a tone is audible. Preferably check the detector weekly. During the alarm state, the HA-58 will generate a tone of at least 85dB(A) sound pressure. Do not test the heat detector with candles, open flames, cigarettes, or similar methods. It is possible to test the heat detector with a hairdryer.ATTENTION:• If there is any doubt over the cause of an alarm, then assume the alarm is caused by fire and evacuate the premises as soon as possible.• Keep the heat detector away from small children.• During renovations, protect the heat detector against dust. It will lose its functionality is covered by dust.Maintenance:The HA-58 can be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner.PLAN AN ESCAPE ROUTE:• Make a map and mark all locations of doors and windows and a possible escape route. Note that you may need an escape ladder on high floors.• Ensure everyone in the house knows the sound the smoke alarms produce and regularly practice the use of the escape route.• Leave the house immediately according to the plan when hearing the alarm. Every second counts: so respond quickly. If you do not notice smoke or heat, check if everyone in the house is in a secure location.• Do not open any doors without feeling whether the door is warm or if there is smoke coming from underneath the doors. If it is, do not open that door. If the door is cold, put your shoulder firmly against the door and open it a small amount to check for any heat or smoke first.• If there is much smoke, keep low and take shallow breaths, preferably through a moist towel. Call the fire department as soon as you are safe outside.REPLACING THE BATTERIES:The detector is supplied using a 9Volt block battery. Only use the recommended type Pairdeer 6F22. Under normal conditions, the battery will last at least one year. If it is about to need replacement, the smoke detector will make a chirping sound every 60 seconds for at least 30 days. Test the detector after every battery replacement. If the heat detector does not function, please contact your supplierENVIRONMENT:Do not throw away used batteries, but recycle them using your local chemical depot. Product may not be thrown out as normal waste but must be recycled as electrical waste.SPECIFICATIONS:Usage temperature …………………………………………………………. 0˚C tot 60˚CPower …………………………………………………………………………… 9V DC batteryAlarm point ……………………………………………………………………. 50~60 ˚CPower usage in standby ………………………………………………….. 15 µA max.Sound level during alarm …………………………………………………. 85dB op 1 meterMaximum distance from the wall ………………………………………. 7,5m
| PROBLEM | SOLUTION |
| No sound during the test procedure Note: Hold the test button several seconds during a test. | 1.Remove the detector from the ceiling plate and check if the battery is properly connected. |
| 2.Clean the heat detector. | |
| The heat detector beeps every minute | Replace the 9V battery |
| The heat alarm regularly gives a false alarm during cooking or during use of the shower. | 1.Clean the heat detector. |
| 2.Move the heat detector to another location. |
