The Firex® 5700 Heat Alarm offers contractors the same reliability and quality they have long depended on from the leader in fire safety technology. The Firex Heat Alarm, Model 5700, is a fixed temperature unit that detects heat at 135F (57C) or greater. It relies on a thermistor that is sensitive only to temperature. When the temperature reaches 135F (57C) or greater, the alarm is triggered. The 5700 requires 120V AC power and includes a 9V battery back-up for added protection in the event of a power failure. The 5700 heat alarm is interconnectable with other Firex heat alarms and smoke alarms. Up to 18 units can be interconnected, 6 of which may be Firex heat alarms.
Contractors have been installing the best selling Firex smoke alarms for over 20 years and will appreciate the design similarities when installing Firex heat alarms. Both products utilize a Quick Connect wire harness, an optional tamper-resist feature and a unique power connector that prevents interconnection with incompatible heat alarms, smoke alarms or security systems.

Why Install a Firex Heat Alarm?
Some environments can trigger nuisance alarms in conventional smoke alarms due to shifts in temperature and humidity as well as dust, fumes and insects. Heat alarms are intended for use in the locations listed below because they are virtually unaffected by these adverse conditions:
• Kitchens • Unfinished Attics • Basements
• Garages • Boiler Rooms • Other areas where high levels
of dust and fumes are present
Heat alarms should always be interconnected with smoke alarms to provide early warning when fire is present.
