Comprehensive protection for your home with this bundle of one heat alarm and two interlinked smok...Comprehensive protection for your home with this bundle of one heat alarm and two interlinked smoke alarms. The heat alarm is ideal for kitchens as it won't be triggered by cooking vapor, dust, or smoke. The smoke alarms use a photoelectric sensor for fast and accurate detection, with an NTC thermistor to detect sudden temperature rises between 129°F (54°C) and 149°F (65°C). These Link+ series alarms can be wirelessly interconnected, so when one alarm is triggered, all connected alarms will sound, providing an early warning throughout your home. Equipped with sealed 10-year lithium batteries, these alarms offer 24/7 protection even during power outages, eliminating the need for frequent battery replacements. Constructed from durable, corrosion-resistant, and flame-retardant materials, they are built for long-term reliability. Installation is simple, with all necessary accessories included for wall or ceiling mounting in minutes. This ready-to-use kit includes 1 XH02-W Heat Alarm, 2 SD19-W Smoke Alarms, mounting brackets, screws, anchor plugs, CR123A batteries, and a user manual. The alarms in this multi-pack are pre-interconnected; simply press the test/silence button to confirm interconnection and begin protecting your home. Weight: 0.2976240537 Pounds. Manufacturer: X-Sense.
This X-Sense Interlinked Smoke and Heat Alarms bundle (HS21) is designed for homeowners seeking comprehensive fire detection with minimal hassle. It offers a key benefit of interconnected alarms, ensuring a loud, unified alert across your home when any single unit is triggered, while the dedicated heat alarm prevents nuisance alerts in the kitchen. A potential caveat is that these alarms are pre-interconnected, limiting flexibility for custom grouping beyond the included units. The kit includes one heat alarm and two smoke alarms, featuring sealed 10-year lithium batteries, photoelectric smoke sensors, NTC thermistors for rapid temperature rise detection, and wireless interconnection capabilities for 24/7 protection.

FAQs
How do I know if the alarms are interconnected?
After installation, press the test/silence button on any one alarm. All interconnected alarms should sound simultaneously. You can also confirm interconnection by checking the indicator lights or performing a full system test as described in the user manual.
What is the lifespan of the batteries?
The alarms are equipped with sealed lithium batteries that are designed to last for 10 years. Once the 10-year period is reached, the entire alarm unit must be replaced.
Can I add more alarms to this system?
This bundle contains pre-interconnected alarms. To expand your system, you would need to purchase additional X-Sense Link+ series alarms and follow the pairing instructions in their respective manuals to interconnect them with the existing units.
Where should I install the heat alarm?
The heat alarm is recommended for use in kitchens or garages where smoke alarms might be prone to false alarms due to cooking fumes or dust. It should be mounted on the ceiling or wall, at least 6 inches (15 cm) away from any corner.
How often should I test the alarms?
It is recommended to test all smoke and heat alarms at least once a month to ensure they are functioning correctly and that the interconnection is active.
What does the photoelectric sensor detect?
The photoelectric sensor is best at detecting '`);`, a type of fire that burns slowly, smolders, and produces a lot of smoke before breaking into flames. This is common for fires starting with furniture or electrical short circuits.
Are these alarms mains powered?
No, these alarms are battery-powered by sealed 10-year lithium batteries. They do not require connection to the mains power supply, ensuring protection even during power outages.
Troubleshooting
Alarm does not sound when tested.
Ensure the alarm is properly installed and has power. Press and hold the test button for a few seconds. If it still does not sound, check the battery connection or consider replacing the unit if it's beyond its warranty period.
False alarms are occurring frequently.
For smoke alarms, ensure they are not placed too close to cooking appliances or bathrooms with high humidity. For the heat alarm, confirm it is placed appropriately in the kitchen. Clean the alarms regularly to remove dust. If false alarms persist, relocate the alarm or consider replacing it.
Only one alarm sounds, not the interconnected ones.
Verify that the alarms are correctly paired and within wireless range. Press the test/silence button on each alarm to re-confirm interconnection. Ensure no obstructions are blocking the wireless signal between alarms. If issues persist, contact X-Sense support.
Low battery warning chirp is heard.
These alarms feature 10-year sealed batteries. A chirp indicating a low battery signifies that the 10-year lifespan is nearing its end, and the unit needs to be replaced. Refer to the manufacturing date on the alarm.
