Tamperproofing the Alarm
The Alarm can be made tamperproof to
prevent unauthorized removal of the Alarm.
Break off the small pillar on the base as
shown in Figure 5a. To remove the Alarm
from the ceiling it is now necessary to use a
small screwdriver, to release the catch (push
catch towards the ceiling) and then twist off
the Alarm (see Figure 5b).

neighbor’s house or mobile phone.

5. NEVER re-enter a burning house.
4. Alarm Limitations
Limitations of Heat Alarms
There are various situations where a Heat
Alarm may not be effective:
• Fires where the victim is intimate with a
flaming initiated fire; for example, when a
person’s clothes catch fire while cooking.
• Fires where the heat is prevented from
reaching the Heat Alarm due to a closed
door or other obstruction.
• Incendiary fires where the fire grows
so rapidly that an occupant’s egress is
blocked even with properly located Heat
Alarms.
