Smoke
and
heat Alarms
Multi-Criteria
Detection
Optical smoke alarms
use an optical
chamber
to "see" the smoke.
Certain
fire types are
recognized
with some delays
only. Multi-criteria
detection
therefore ads a
thermal sensor and
use an intelligent
algorithm
to improve
reaction speed,
and reduce
the number of false
alarms.
Low Profile
Design
Honeywell's
low
profile
design utilising
rounded corners,
sleek round
design
and low
profile
height make
the unit seem a
lot smaller than it
really is.
Honeyruell
have employed design
agencies and
end user market
research to
select the best
suitable concept.
Full Ten Year
Lifespan and Warranty
Honeywell's
full
product
lifespan
warranty is one of
the most comprehensive
in
the industry
This is backed up
with more than 50
years
of fire alarm
experience
producing
some
of the most
reliable alarms in
the market. Honeyvvell
is one of
the few companies
in the market
to
offer
a full
ten
year
lifespan and
ten
year
warranty on
its smoke and
heat alarms.
lndependent 3rd
Party Certification
and
Q-Label
All residential smoke
alarms being
sold in the
EU must be cedified by
a 3rd
party,
for example
VdS, against
EN14604 which
is the standard for
residential
smoke alarms.
This sets
the minimum requirements
for smoke alarms
to be
sold,
whether it is for
DIY or
professional
use.
The
Q-Label
is a voluntary
additional
3rd
party
certification,
which is
granted
to high
quality
smoke
alarms. Smoke
alarms
with the
Q-Label
are
tested for long-life,
minimised
false
alarms,
increased
protection
against adverse
environmental conditions
and
have
a
sealed battery
with at least 10
years
lifetime.

Automatic Self-adiustment
/ Self
Checks
Honeywell's smoke
and heat alarms
have been
fitted with an automatic
self test
function
which ensures the unit
is functioning
properly.
Every ten seconds,
the
unit
tests critical systems
to ensure accurate
alerts are delivered
rapidly once a
fire is
detected.
Clearly
Visible Alarms
Honeywell have integrated
a set of clearly
visible LED lights
into the
perimeter
of
the unit, ensuring
the alarm can be seen
from all angles-
This feature
greatly
helps
people
who
have hearing troubles so
may not hear the alarm.
Heat Alarms
Combining
fast levels of
detection with minimum
false alarms, the
Honeywell
XH100 Heat Alarm
is best suited to areas
with high levels of dust
or fumes,
such as kitchens and
garages.
Dirt Compensation
Honeywell's unique
dirt compensation
ensures
that nuisance alarms are
kept to
a
minimum.
By not confusing dust
with smoke, the
X-Series smoke and heat alarms
only sound
when a hazard
is detected.
X-Series
Alarms
Sealed
Housing
Honeywell's
X-Series alarms all
have sealed housings.
lt
protects
the
electronics
from adverse environmental
conditions
like humidity,
and
improves
reliability and lifetime.
We have been successfully
using
this
technology for many
years
in our commercial
smoke alarms,
which are
being used
in harsh conditions
like warehouses.
Alarm
Hush
There might be situations
where
the unit is in full alarm,
and
you
want
to mute
the 85dB loud alarm
sounder, e.g.
when the situation
is under
control.
Pressing
the button on the unit
will mute the sounder
for 5
minutes,
whilst the alarm
light will keep on
flashing as long as
the alarm
detects a
threat.
Fault
Hush
A typical fault occurs
when the alarm
warns of an almost
depleted
battery.
The alarm
will
start
to bleep once
per
minute accompanied
by
a flashing
fault light. The Fault
Hush allows
you
to mute the sounder
for
24 hours,
giving you
time to address the
fault. lf
you
wish to restart the
24 hour
timer in the morning,
you
can
press
the button
a second
time.
Reduced Sound
Level Test
Alarms
need to be tested regularly,
to ensure they are
working
properly.
After
pressing
the button,
the alarm will start
its internal self-test,
flash all
lights and sounding
the buzzer.
Honeywell has reduced
the sound
level
for
this test function considerably
from the
full
alarm
level of 85dB.
lt still
tests the alarm,
but
your
ears are being
protected.
BTW: By
pressing
the
alarm
for more
than
3
seconds, the
full
alarm
level will sound.
Tamper-Proof
Many
professional
landlords
want to ensure
that installed alarms
cannot
be stopped
from normal operation by
the end-user.
ln the
past,
tenants
have often
removed the batteries
to use them
for instance
in TV remote
controls.
Honeywell's
X-Series alarms all
have sealed batteries,
which
cannot be
removed by the end-user.
Also, once
installed, a
tool like a
screwdriver
is required to switch
the unit off or remove
it.
Maintenance
Free Operation
All Honeywell
X-Series alarms have batteries,
which
last the whole
lifetime of the alarms.
No
additional
cost
for batteries or labour
cost to
replace
them
occur.
The same applies
for the CO sensor:
lt lasts
the
whole
lifetime of up to 10
years.
The only required
maintenance
is the
occasional cleaning
of the
product.
lnterlink
Interlink means
the connection of several alarms
to an alarm
system. So if
one unit
goes
into alarm, all other
units will sound as
well. This
improves
considerably the safety
especially in larger accommodations
like multi-
story
houses. All X-Series alarms
can be upgraded,
to connect wirelessly.
All mains
powered
Honeywell X-Series
alarms can be
linked by wire.
Battery
Back-up
l\/lains
powered
alarms
can be effected by
power
outages.
Therefore,
all
Honeywell mains
powered
X-Series alarms are
fitted with a battery
backup.
