with 9 Volt Battery Back Up, 135ºF fixed temperature.
Thank you for purchasing this heat alarm. It is an important part of your family’s
home safety plan. You can trust this product to provide the highest quality safe-
ty protection. We know you expect nothing less when the lives of your family
are at stake. Kidde alarms and accessories CAN ONLY BE interconnected with
other Kidde alarms and accessories as well as specified brands and models of
interconnect compatible alarms. Connection of Kidde products to a non-speci-
fied manufacturer’s interconnect system, or connection with non-specified
equipment from another manufacturer into an existing Kidde system could result
in nuisance alarming, failure to alarm, or damage to one or all of the devices in
the interconnect system. Refer to the User’s Guide supplied with each Kidde
product for interconnect compatible models, brands, and devices. Refer to the
wiring instructions in section 3 for NFPA initiating device limits
For your convenience, write down the following information. If you call
our Consumer Hotline, these are the first questions you will be asked.
Heat Alarm Model Number
(located on back of alarm):
Date Code (located on back of alarm): The
National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)
and the manufacturer recommend replacing
this alarm ten years from the date code.
Date of Purchase:
Where Purchased:
820-0917-EN Rev. C
1000-7211-00
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 spac-
ing between alarms.
Note B: Maximum distance is from any wall or ceiling projection extending
down more than 12 inches.
2. RECOMMENDED LOCATION OF ALARMS
• The most favorable mounting location
for a heat alarm is on the ceiling in the
center of the room. At this location the
alarm is closest to all areas of the room
(see figure 3).
EXCEPTION: When the mounting surface
might become considerably warmer or
cooler than the room, such as a poorly
insulated ceiling, below an unfinished attic,
or an exterior wall. In these cases the alarm
should be mounted on an inside wall.
• If the alarm cannot be located in the
center of the room, an off-center location
can be used on the ceiling. When off cen-
FIGURE 1
ter mounting an alarm on the ceiling,
locate it at a minimum of 4" (10 cm) from
the side wall (see figure 3).
•
If a ceiling mounting location is not fea-
sible the next logical location for mounting
heat alarms is on the side wall. When
mounting the alarm on the wall, use an
inside wall with the top edge of the alarm
at a minimum of 4" (10 cm) and a maxi-
mum of 12" (30.5 cm) below the ceiling
(see figure 1).
FIGURE 2
• Install Heat Alarms on sloped, peaked or cathedral ceilings at or within 3 ft
(0.9m) of the highest point (measured horizontally). NFPA 72 states: “Smoke
alarms in rooms with ceiling slopes greater than 1 ft in 8 ft (.3m in 2.4m) hori-
zontally shall be located on the high side of the room.” NFPA 72 states: “A row
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).
MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION
FIGURE 3
Modern mobile homes have been
designed and built to be energy effi-
cient. Install heat alarms as recom-
mended above (refer to RECOMMENDED LOCATIONS and FIGURE 1).
In older mobile homes that are not well insulated compared to present stan-
dards, extreme heat or cold can be transferred from the outside to the inside
through poorly insulated walls and roof. This may create a thermal barrier
which can prevent the heat from reaching an alarm mounted on the ceiling. In
such units, install the heat alarm on an inside wall with the top edge of the
alarm at a minimum of 4” (10 cm) and a maximum of 12” (30.5 cm) below the
ceiling (see figure 1).
If you are not sure about the insulation in your mobile home, or if you notice
that the outer walls and ceiling are either hot or cold, install the alarm on an
inside wall.
WARNING: TEST YOUR HEAT ALARM OPERATION AFTER RV OR MOBILE
HOME VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN STORAGE, BEFORE EACH TRIP AND AT
LEAST ONCE A WEEK DURING USE.
3. LOCATIONS TO AVOID
• In front of forced air supply ducts used for heating and air conditioning, near
ceiling fans, or other high air flow areas.
• 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. All connections should be made by a qualified electrician and all wiring
used shall be in accordance with articles 210 and 300.3(B) of the U.S. National
Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70, NFPA 72 and/or any other codes having jurisdic-
tion in your area. The multiple station interconnect wiring to the alarms must
be run in the same raceway or cable as the AC power wiring. In addition, the
resistance of the interconnect wiring shall be a maximum of 10 ohms.
• The appropriate power source is 120 Volt AC Single Phase supplied from a
non-switchable circuit which is not protected by a ground fault interrupter.
• WARNING:This alarm cannot be operated from power derived from a square
wave or modified square wave inverter. These type of inverters are sometimes
used to supply power to the structure in off grid installations, such as solar or
wind derived power sources. These power sources produce high peak voltages
that will damage the alarm.
WIRING INSTRUCTIONS FOR AC QUICK CONNECT HARNESS
CAUTION! TURN OFF THE MAIN POWER TO THE CIRCUIT BEFORE WIRING
THE ALARM.
• For alarms that are used as single station, DO NOT CONNECT THE RED WIRE
TO ANYTHING. Leave the red wire insulating cap in place to make certain that
the red wire cannot contact any metal parts or the electrical box.
• When alarms are interconnected, all interconnected units must be powered
from a single circuit.
• A maximum of 24 Kidde/Lifesaver devices may be interconnected in a multiple
station arrangement. The interconnect system should not exceed the NFPA
interconnect limit of 12 smoke alarms and/or 18 alarms total (smoke, heat,
carbon monoxide, etc.). With 18 alarms interconnected, it is still possible to
interconnect up to a total of 6 remote signaling devices and/or relay modules.
• 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 intercon-
nected system is 1000 feet.
• Figure 4 illustrates interconnection wiring. Improper connection will result in
damage to the alarm, failure to operate, or a shock hazard.
• Make certain alarms are wired to a continuous (non-switched) power line.
NOTE: Use standard UL listed household wire (as required by local codes) avail-
able at all electrical supply stores and most hardware stores.

After installation, TEST your alarm by pressing and holding the test button for
several seconds. You can also use a hand held hair dryer to test your heat alarm.
Complete details on this procedure are outlined in section 5.
CAUTION! 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 out-
side of the bedroom) and heat or smoke alarms in the living rooms, dining
rooms, kitchens, hallways, attics, furnace rooms, closets, utility storage rooms,
basements, and attached garages.
5. OPERATION AND TESTING
OPERATION: The heat alarm is operating once AC power is applied, fresh batter-
ies are installed and testing is complete. When the heat alarm senses tempera-
tures 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.
Standby Condition: The red LED will flash every 30-40 seconds to indicate that
the smoke alarm is operating properly.
Alarm Condition:
When the unit detects heat and goes into alarm, the red
LED will flash rapidly (one flash per second). The rapid
flashing LED and pulsating alarm will continue until the
temperature drops below 135 ºF.
WHEN UNITS ARE INTERCONNECTED, only the red LED of the originating alarm
or alarm being tested will flash rapidly. All other units in the interconnect sys-
tem will sound an alarm but their red LED’s will NOT flash rapidly.
The green LED is located under the other button.
Standby Condition: The green LED will be steady on, indicating the presence
of AC power.
TESTING: Test by pushing the test button on the cover and hold it down for a
minimum of 5 seconds. This will sound the alarm if all the electronic circuitry,
horn, and battery are working. THE TEST SWITCH MAY NOT CAUSE A TEST SIG-
NAL IF THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE IS BELOW 32ºF, IN THIS CASE TEST THE
UNIT BY BLOWING HOT AIR AT THE ALARM SENSING ELEMENT WITH A HAIR
DRYER HELD ABOUT 1 FOOT FROM THE UNIT.
If no alarm sounds, check the fuse or circuit breaker supplying power to the
alarm circuit, if the alarm still does not sound the unit may have defective bat-
teries or other failure.
TEST THE ALARM WEEKLY TO ENSURE PROPER OPERATION.
Erratic or low sound coming from your alarm may indicate a defective alarm,
and it should be returned for service (see section 12).
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. MAINTENANCE
ALARM REMOVAL
IF TAMPER RESIST PIN HAS BEEN USED, REFER TO TAMPER RESIST LOCK-
ING PIN IN SECTION 4 FOR PIN REMOVAL INSTRUCTIONS.
To replace the battery, remove the alarm from the trim ring by rotating the alarm
in the direction of the “OFF” arrow on the cover (see section 4, figure 7). To dis-
connect the AC power harness, squeeze the locking arms on the sides of the
Quick Connector while pulling the connector away from the bottom of the
alarm (see section 4, figure 6).
BATTERY INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL
To replace or install the batteries, you must
first remove the alarm from the trim ring
by following the ALARM REMOVAL instruc-
tions at the beginning of this section. After
alarm has been removed, you can open the

NOT CLOSE, THE AC QUICK CONNECTOR WILL NOT ATTACH TO THE
ALARM, AND THE ALARM WILL NOT ATTACH TO THE TRIM RING.
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 operat-
ing 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.

MENTAL EFFECT ON THE SMOKE ALARM.
CLEANING YOUR ALARM
YOUR ALARM SHOULD BE CLEANED AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR
To clean your alarm, remove it from the mounting bracket as outlined in the
beginning of this section. You can clean the interior of your alarm (sensing
chamber) by using compressed air or a vacuum cleaner hose and blowing or vac-
uuming through the openings around the temperature sensor located on the
top of the alarm. The outside of the alarm can be wiped with a damp cloth.
After cleaning, reinstall your alarm and test your alarm by using the test button.
If cleaning does not restore the alarm to normal operation the alarm should be
replaced.
After cleaning, reinstall your alarm. Test your alarm by using the test button and
check that the green LED is on.
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 INFORMA-
TION AND AS A SUPPLEMENT TO THE SMOKE ALARM INSTALLATION.
HEAT ALARMS DO NOT ALWAYS DETECT FIRES, THE FIRE MAY BE A
SLOW SMOLDERING (SMOKE PRODUCING) LOW HEAT PRODUCING
TYPE, THE FIRE MAY BE IN A DIFFERENT ROOM THAN THE ALARM, OR
THE HEAT FROM THE FIRE MAY BYPASS THE ALARM. THIS ALARM WILL
NOT DETECT SMOKE, GASES OR FLAMES.
• HOME FIRES DEVELOP IN DIFFERENT WAYS AND ARE OFTEN UNPREDICTABLE.
NO ONE TYPE OF ALARM (HEAT, PHOTOELECTRIC OR IONIZATION) IS
ALWAYS BEST, AND A GIVEN ALARM MAY NOT ALWAYS PROVIDE WARNING
OF A FIRE. ALSO ALARMS DO HAVE LIMITATIONS. FOR A BATTERY POWERED
ALARM THE BATTERY MUST BE OF THE SPECIFIED TYPE, IN GOOD CONDI-
TION AND INSTALLED PROPERLY. AC POWERED ALARMS WILL NOT OPERATE
IF AC POWER HAS BEEN CUT OFF SUCH AS BY AN ELECTRICAL FIRE OR AN
OPEN FUSE. ALARMS MUST BE TESTED REGULARLY TO MAKE SURE THE BAT-
TERIES AND THE ALARM CIRCUITS ARE IN GOOD OPERATING CONDITION.
• HEAT ALARMS CANNOT PROVIDE AN ALARM IF HEAT DOES NOT REACH THE
ALARM. THEREFORE, HEAT ALARMS MAY NOT SENSE FIRES STARTING IN
CHIMNEYS, WALLS, ON ROOFS, ON THE OTHER SIDE OF A CLOSED DOOR OR
ON A DIFFERENT FLOOR. IF THE ALARM IS LOCATED OUTSIDE THE BEDROOM
OR ON A DIFFERENT FLOOR, IT MAY NOT WAKE UP A SOUND SLEEPER. THE
USE OF ALCOHOL OR DRUGS MAY ALSO IMPAIR ONES ABILITY TO HEAR THE
ALARM. FOR MAXIMUM PROTECTION HEAT ALARMS SHOULD ONLY BE USED
AS A SUPPLEMENT TO SMOKE ALARMS. SMOKE ALARMS SHOULD BE
INSTALLED IN EACH SLEEPING AREA ON EVERY LEVEL OF A HOME AND BE
INTERCONNECTE WITH EACH OTHER AND THE HEAT ALARMS.
• ALTHOUGH HEAT ALARMS WHEN COMBINED WITH SMOKE ALARMS, CAN
HELP SAVE LIVES BY PROVIDING AN EARLY WARNING OF A FIRE, THEY ARE
NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR AN INSURANCE POLICY. HOME OWNERS AND
RENTERS SHOULD HAVE ADEQUATE INSURANCE TO PROTECT THEIR LIVES
AND PROPERTY.
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.
• Determine a place outside your home where you all can meet if a fire occurs.
• Familiarize everyone with the sound of the smoke alarm and train them to
leave your home when they hear it.
• Practice a fire drill at least every six months, including fire drills at night.
Ensure that small children hear the alarm and wake when it sounds. They
must wake up in order to execute the escape plan. Practice allows all occu-
pants to test your plan before an emergency. You may not be able to reach
your children. It is important they know what to do.
• Current studies have shown smoke alarms may not awaken all sleeping
individuals, and that it is the responsibility of individuals in the household that
are capable of assisting others to provide assistance to those who may not be
awakened by the alarm sound, or to those who may be incapable of safely
evacuating the area unassisted.
WHAT TO DO WHEN THE ALARM SOUNDS
• Leave immediately by your escape plan. Every second counts, so don’t waste
time getting dressed or picking up valuables.
• In leaving, don’t open any inside door without first feeling its surface. If hot, or
if you see smoke seeping through cracks, don’t open that door! Instead, use
your alternate exit. If the inside of the door is cool, place your shoulder against
it, open it slightly and be ready to slam it shut if heat and smoke rush in.
• Stay close to the floor if the air is smoky. Breathe shallowly through a cloth,
wet if possible.
• Once outside, go to your selected meeting place and make sure everyone is
there.
• 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. NFPA REQUIRED PROTECTION
The National Fire Protection Association’s Standard 72 provides the following
information:
Smoke Detection - Where required by applicable laws, codes, or standards for
the specified occupancy, approved single- and multiple-station smoke alarms
shall be installed as follows: (1) In all sleeping rooms Exception: Smoke alarms
shall not be required in sleeping rooms in existing one- and two-family dwelling
units. (2) Outside of each separate sleeping area, in immediate vicinity of the
sleeping rooms. (3) On each level of the dwelling unit, including basements
Exception: In existing one- and two-family dwelling units, approved smoke
alarms powered by batteries are permitted.
Smoke Detection - Are More Smoke Alarms Desirable? The required number of
smoke alarms might not provide reliable early warning protection for those areas
separated by a door from the areas protected by the required smoke alarms. For
this reason, it is recommended that the householder consider the use of addi-
tional smoke alarms for those areas for increased protection. The additional
areas include the basement, bedrooms, dining room, furnace room, utility room,
and hallways not protected by the required smoke alarms. The installation of
the smoke alarms in the kitchen, attic (finished or unfinished), or garage is nor-
mally not recommended, as these locations occasionally experience conditions
that can result in improper operation.
This equipment should be installed in accordance with the National Fire
Protection Association’s Standard 72 (NFPA, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA
02269).
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 bed-
rooms), and heat or smoke alarms in the living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms,
kitchens, hallways, attics, furnace rooms, closets, utility and storage rooms, base-
ments and attached garages.”
