Power and Battery Back-up:
The Aico Ei144e Heat Alarm operates on mains power with a 9V Alkaline battery back-up. It uses a thermistor to trigger the alarm when the temperature reaches 58ºC. You will need to change the battery during its 10-year lifespan.
Alarm Siting:
Different alarm sensors detect various types of fires and should be placed in appropriate rooms. Heat alarms are ideal for detecting large, fast-flaming fires, commonly caused by kitchen fires. Thus, the Ei144e is perfect for kitchens and garages. Unlike smoke alarms, heat alarms react to heat rather than smoke, making them more resistant to fumes like burnt toast and less likely to cause false alarms.
