FAQs
What is the difference between a heat alarm and a smoke alarm?
A smoke alarm detects smoke particles in the air, while a heat alarm detects a rapid rise in temperature. Heat alarms are recommended for areas like kitchens where smoke alarms may be prone to false alarms.
Can I install this myself?
Due to the mains power connection, professional installation by a qualified electrician is strongly recommended to ensure safety and compliance.
How often should I test the alarm?
It is recommended to test the alarm weekly by pressing the test button to ensure it is functioning correctly.
What type of battery does it use for backup?
The alarm uses a replaceable 9V alkaline battery for backup power.
What is the warranty period for this product?
The FireAngel HW10-EUT comes with a 5-year warranty from the date of purchase.
How many alarms can be interconnected?
Up to 12 compatible FireAngel mains-powered smoke or heat alarms can be interconnected.
Is this alarm suitable for bedrooms?
This is a heat alarm, not a smoke alarm. For general living areas and bedrooms, a smoke alarm is typically recommended. Heat alarms are best suited for specific locations like kitchens or garages.
Troubleshooting
Alarm not sounding during test
Check that the mains power is connected and functioning. Ensure the 9V backup battery is correctly installed and has power. Press and hold the test button for at least 5 seconds.
Low battery warning beep
Replace the 9V backup battery immediately with a fresh, high-quality alkaline battery. Ensure the battery is inserted correctly.
Alarm sounding without apparent cause
Check for environmental factors such as rapid temperature changes not related to a fire. Ensure the alarm is clean and free from dust. If the issue persists, consider relocating the unit if it is in an unsuitable environment (e.g., too close to a cooking appliance) or contact customer support.
Interconnected alarms not sounding
Verify that all interconnected alarms are powered and properly wired together according to the installation manual. Ensure all connected units are compatible models. Test each alarm individually.
