Interconnectable Heat Alarm
3SFW

Mains powered heat alarm from the ‘Slick’ range of fast-fit alarms that can be interconnected with up to 23 other Kidde and Firex mains alarms.

The ‘Slick’ range requires installation by a professionally qualified electrician and complies with UK Building Regulations for new housing and associated standards (Grade D, BS5839, Part 6).

Unique fast-fit system with separate base plate, for ease of fitting and maintenance

Integral, double-decker screwless terminal block for fast, push-fit connection

Auto reset after activation with latching LED allowing the initiating alarm to be identified

Separate Test and Hush buttons to test and temporarily silence nuisance alarms

Alkaline back-up battery provides continuous operation in the event of mains failure

Interconnectable with other Kidde mains smoke and heat alarms and Kidde mains CO alarmsusing ‘Smart Interconnect’ technology

Tamper-resistant locking device – prevents unauthorised removal without the use of a tool

Deep Base – allows easier wiring
