Ionisation technology is faster atdetecting fast flaming fires that give off little smoke. Optical (photo-electric) technologyis faster at responding to slow, smouldering smoky fires. Heat alarms are installedin environments where excessive steam, dust etc. make smoke alarms impracticale.g. kitchens/boiler rooms/lofts.Electrical rating 230V AC,50Hz 80mA max per alarm(maximum 80mA for originating unitwith 24 alarms interconnected).Smoke and Heat alarmOwner’s Manual230V Interconnectable Mains Operated Alarms For models:1SF23/9HI, 1SF23/9HIR, 1SF23/9HIRE, 2SF23/9HI, 2SF23/9HIR,2SF23/9HIRE, 3SF23/9HI, 3SF23/9HIR, 3SF23/9HIREINSTALLER LEAVE IN SAFE PLACE FOR HOUSEHOLDERSAVE THIS MANUAL FOR FUTURE REFERENCEContentsSection 1.
