Battery Back Up
9V Alkaline back up supplied

  • Mains-powered heat alarm that can be interlinked with up to 23 other Kidde mains alarms, be they ionisation, optical or heat.

  • Once interlinked, the detection of the relevant danger by an individual unit will sound across all the connected alarms.

  • Mains-powered heat alarms can be used throughout the home in humid or dusty environments where an optical or ionisation smoke alarm is unsuitable, e.g. kitchens, loft spaces and garages.

  • The Firex range requires installation by a professionally qualified electrician and complies with UK Building Regulations for new housing and associated standards (Grade D BS 5839, Part 6).

  • Interlink with up to 23 Firex hard-wired alarms – all alarms sound if danger is detected

  • Alarm memory – identifies source unit within interconnecting network

  • Combined Test/Hush button allows regular testing of alarm function and can be used to temporarily silence nuisance alarms

  • Auto reset after activation

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

  • Mains operation – 9V Alkaline back-up battery supplied as standard

  • Model KF30

  • Alarm Frequency 3.2 kHz typical

  • Alarm Status Red LED flashes approx once every five minutes = normal operation

  • Red LED flashes once a second = sensing heat in excess of 58ºC (sounder alarm sounds)

  • Interconnection Up to 24 Firex and Kidde ‘Slick’ units (smoke, heat and CO) can be hardwire interconnected with optional control (see below)

  • Optional Controls Wired Remote Test and Hush Unit (REMTH) allows test and hush of interlinked units

  • Optional Pattresses SMK23RU also has integral switchable relay for operating remote devices
