Zeta ZT-Mains-H5 User Manual

ZT-Mains-H5 AC/DC heat alarm
Cautions
ELECTRICAL HAZARD: Disconnect power from equipment prior to making any
internal adjustments. Service should only be performed by qualified personnel.
PRODUCT LIMITATIONS: This heat alarm does not detect smoke, gas, or flame,
and should not be covered with a guard or similar obstructing item.
Hazardous levels of smoke and toxic gas can build up before a heat alarm might
operate. Where life safety is the primary requirement in the event of a fire, smoke, gas or
combination alarms usually provide earlier warning than heat alarms alone.
This heat alarm may not alert people who are hearing impaired. It is strongly recommended
that the special-purpose heat alarms using visual or vibrating alerting devices, should be
installed for these occupants.
This heat alarm may not be effective in fires where heat is prevented from reaching the device
(eg where intermediate doors are closed), where the fire grows so rapidly that the egress path
is blocked (even when correctly located), and where the fire is intimate to a person (eg where
a victim's clothes catch fire).
SLEEPING AREAS: Heat alarms should not replace required smoke alarms in
sleeping areas.
INSTALLATION LIMITATIONS This product is designed for use in a single
residential unit, such as a family home or apartment. Heat alarms, located outside
the dwelling may not provide early warning to occupants.
This product is not designed for use in non-residential buildings. Non-residential buildings
require special fire detection and alarm systems. This product alone is not a suitable
substitute for a fire detection system installed in places of work or where people sleep on a
temporary basis, such as hotels or motels, dormitories, hospitals, nursing homes or group
homes of any kind, even if they were once dwellings. Please refer to local regulations for fire
detection and alarm system requirements.
Features
ZT-Mains-H5 AC/DC heat alarms provide AC mains, DC or AC/DC powered
heat detection and alarm functions within a single product. A single battery
(available with some models) will ensure that the heat alarm remains operational,
even if mains power is temporarily unavailable.
ZT-Mains-H5 AC/DC heat alarms are suitable for general residential applications
where a smoke alarm may result in unwanted activation (eg kitchens, garages
with exhaust fumes, and areas subject to high levels of dust and other air-borne
contaminants).
ZT-Mains-H5 AC/DC heat alarms provide home owners with an easy-to-install,
premium solution for property protection.
Audible and Visual Alarm Indicators (all models)
When operating normally, a red LED in the Test button will flash every 32 s.

User manual

When heat is detected, an internal sounder will activate to alert occupants, and
the LED will flash rapidly. The sounder is a loud, pulsating alarm.
Test Button (all models)
Pressing and holding the Test button for 5 s will activate the heat alarm to
check its operation. The alarm will sound and the LED will flash rapidly.
Releasing the test button will return the unit to normal operation.
Low Battery (battery models only)
When the battery is depleted, the heat alarm will emit a short audible signal
every 32 s for at least 30 days. When the Low Battery signal is given, change
the battery without delay.
Interconnection Terminals (where fitted)
Interconnected heat alarms will activate sounders on all units if any heat alarm
detects heat. In this case, only the heat alarm(s) that detected heat will flash the
LED. This allows the home owner to quickly locate the cause of the alarm. Up to
25 units can be interconnected as long as the cabling is less than 250 m in
length. Interconnection terminals are only available on some models.

Installation Preparation
Equipment
Before commencing installation, ensure all equipment and tools to mount and
test the device are available, such as drills, mounting screws (supplied), cables
and ladders.
Location Selection in Homes and Apartments
Heat alarms are suitable for residential applications where smoke or gas
detectors may cause unwanted alarms. The following locations are suitable for
heat alarms.

Areas where combustion particles are present, such as kitchens with few
windows or poor ventilation.

Garages where there may be vehicle exhaust fumes.

Near furnaces, combustion heaters, and space heaters.

Damp or very humid areas, such as bathrooms with showers.

Dusty or dirty areas.

Insect-infested areas.
WARNING: Hazardous levels of smoke and toxic gas can build up
before a heat alarm might operate. Where life safety is the primary
requirement in the event of a fire, smoke, gas or combination alarms
usually provide earlier warning than heat alarms alone.
For complete coverage, smoke alarms should be installed in all rooms, halls,
storage areas, basements, and attics in dwellings. The minimum coverage is
one smoke alarm on each floor and one outside each sleeping area.
Installation Location
Install heat alarms as close to the centre of the ceiling as possible, away from
light fittings and air-conditioning ducts. If this is not practical, mount the heat
alarm on the ceiling, no closer than 50 cm from any wall or corner (see Fig. 1).
If some of your rooms have sloped, peaked, or gabled ceilings, try to mount
heat alarms 0.9 m measured horizontally from the highest point of the ceiling
as shown in Fig. 2.
Where Not to Install Your Heat alarm
Heat alarms are not a suitable substitute for smoke alarms required in sleeping
areas.
