The Evolec Heat Alarm is a mains powered heat detector with a 9V back-up battery. It detects fire by heat rather than smoke, so it suits kitchens, garages, lofts and other places where a smoke alarm would give false alarms. It runs on 240V. The 9V battery is included and keeps the alarm working during a power cut. Up to 20 units can be interconnected, so they all sound together. The sounder is 85dB. It has a test and hush button, a low or missing battery warning and an end of life alert. It measures 145 × 55mm, is made from white polycarbonate, is rated IP20 and is CE certified, with a 2 year warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between a heat alarm and a smoke alarm?
A: A heat alarm reacts to a rise in temperature, not smoke. That makes it suited to kitchens and garages, where cooking fumes or exhaust would set off a smoke alarm.
Q: Does the Evolec heat alarm work in a power cut?
A: Yes. It runs on 240V mains with a 9V back-up battery, which is included.
Q: How many Evolec heat alarms can be interconnected?
A: Up to 20 units, so when one alarm sounds they all sound.
Q: How loud is the alarm?
A: 85dB.
Q: Do I need an electrician to fit a mains heat alarm?
A: Yes. It is a 240V mains alarm, so in Ireland it should be installed by a registered electrician.
Q: Can it go in a bathroom or outdoors?
A: No. It is rated IP20, which gives no protection against water, so it is for dry indoor areas only.
