Notice: Be sure the installer tests each alarm in your presence and instructs
you on the operation and maintenance of the device.
Properly functioning Smoke Alarms give earlier warning than Heat Alarms in
nearly all residential fires. This is because detectable levels of smoke almost
always develop before detectable levels of heat.
Installing a combination of early-detecting Smoke Alarms and reliable Heat
Alarms in their appropriate locations throughout the home may make you
eligible for lower fire insurance rates.
Heat and Smoke Alarms are not a substitute for an adequate homeowner’s
fire insurance policy. Homeowners and renters should continue to insure
their lives and property. Remember, protecting the lives of your family is
ultimately your responsibility.

Recommended Locations for your Heat Alarm
Kitchens. Most household fires originate in
the kitchen. The QR-50 is ideal for the kitchen
since it is not activated by the by-products of
cooking, (i.e. smoke or cooking scents). The
recommended Heat Sensor rating is 117°F
(47°C).
Attached Garages. Exhaust gases from
vehicles will not trigger the Heat Alarm. The
recommended Heat Sensor rating is 136°F
(58°C).
Utility and Furnace Rooms. The low
volume steam and gases produced by
mechanical equipment will not activate the
QR-50. The recommended Heat Sensor rating
is 136°F (58°C).
Laundry Areas. The low volume steam and
gases produced by dryers and other
equipment will not trigger the Heat Alarm.
The recommended Heat Sensor rating is 136°F
(58°C).
General Notes: Test activate the Alarm to
ensure that the sound volume is sufficiently
loud to warn occupants in other areas of the
home.
If the alarm activates but no fire has occurred,
a higher temperature sensor should be used.

Attics. The QR-50 is not affected by dust,
small insects or seasonal changes in
temperature, and its low-maintenance
operation ensures that the alarm will be
functional for many years. In attics, a 175°F
(79°C) Heat Sensor is recommended, but in
cooler regions a 136°F (58°C) Sensor may be
used.

Recommended Locations for your Heat Alarm
Complete Home Fire Protection
Complete home fire protection is recommended. This can be achieved by
installing a combination of Smoke and Heat Alarms in their appropriate
locations in every room of the house. Do not install Heat Alarms in bedrooms
without accompanying Smoke Alarms.
Basements and Crawlspaces. The QR-50
is not affected by dust, small insects or
seasonal changes in temperature, and its
low-maintenance operation ensures that the
alarm will be functional for many years. The
recommended Heat Sensor rating for
basements and crawlspaces is 117°F (47°C).

National Fire Protection Association Standards
This equipment should be installed in accordance with the National Fire
Protection Association’s Standard 72 (National Fire Protection Association,
Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269).
For your information, the National Fire Protection Association’s Standard 72,
2010 Edition, Section 29.5.1 covering required protection in One- and
Two-Family Dwelling Units, reads as follows:
29.5.1.1* Where required by other governing laws, codes, or standards for a
specific type of occupancy, approved single- and multiple-station smoke
alarms shall be installed as follows:
(1)* In all sleeping rooms and guest rooms
(2)* Outside of each separate dwelling unit sleeping area, within 21 ft
(6.4m) of any door to a sleeping room, with the distance measured
along the path of travel
(3) On every level of a dwelling unit, including basements
(4) On every level of a residential board and care occupancy (small facility),
including basements and excluding crawl spaces and unfinished attics
(5)* In the living area(s) of a guest suite
(6) In the living area(s) of a residential board and care occupancy
(small facility)
29.8.4* Heat Detectors and Heat Alarms.
A.29.8.4. While Chapter 29 does not require heat alarms or heat detectors as
part of the basic protection scheme, it is recommended that the householder
consider the use and placement of additional heat detectors for the same
reasons presented under A.29.8.3. For example, additional heat alarms or
heat detectors could be considered, but not limited to, the following areas:
kitchen, dining room, attic (finished or unfinished), furnace room, utility
room, basement, and integral or attached garage.
The placement of the heat alarm or heat detector is critical where maximum
speed of fire detection is desired. Thus, a logical location for a heat alarm or
heat detector is the center of the ceiling. At this location, the heat alarm or
heat detector is closest to all areas of the room.
Note: Applicable building codes or other local laws may require the
installation of additional fire alarms in addition to the minimum
recommended by the NFPA.

1 Insert Key
Insert winding wrench (located in pocket on
back of Alarm) into slot.
2 Wind
Wind wrench clockwise until it stops (38
turns), and HOLD the winding key in this
position until the sensor is installed.
3 Hold and Check
Still holding winding key, ensure that the
Alarm is fully wound by checking that the
trigger pin can be depressed to the level of the
chrome snap.
Note: The Sensor will snap into place only if
the trigger pin can be fully depressed!
4 Snap Sensor Into Place
Still holding winding key, use thumb to press
the Heat Sensor onto the snap in the center of
the Alarm face. Press the Heat Sensor on its
center to avoid damage. Use a rolling motion
to help it snap into place.
Gently release winding wrench. The wrench
may travel back a short distance before
stopping, causing the alarm to ring briefly.
