Thank you for purchasing this Honeywell smoke or heat alarm.
The alarm is suitable for use in domestic premises (including static
holiday homes) and leisure accommodation vehicles (LAVs)
This manual contains important safety information about the
installation and operation of the alarm. Please read the manual
carefully and keep it in a safe place for future reference. Please
also explain the alarm operation to all other occupants of the
building.
You are advised to have a re evacuation plan, which you should
test every month. Everyone in the building should be familiar with
the alarm signals, so that they react to them without delay.
Warnings
To avoid dust and debris contamination, the smoke or heat alarm should
be removed from the mounting for the duration of any building work
involving dust or debris. If this is not possible then the alarm vents must
be fully covered with a plastic bag or tape whilst the work is in progress.
While covered, the alarm will not detect fires or smoke, so it is vital the
covering is removed when work is completed each day, and replaced the
following day if necessary.
The alarm is permanently sealed for safety, so do not attempt to open it.
If you are in any doubt regarding the cause of an alarm it should be
assumed that the alarm is due to an actual fire and the dwelling should
be evacuated.

XH100 XS100 XS100T
Honeywell offers three models of its battery powered smoke or
heat alarms:
XH100 is a heat alarm approved to BS5446-2:2003.
XS100 is an optical smoke alarm approved to EN14604:2005 and
uses an optical detection technique only.
XS100T is a optical-thermal smoke alarm approved to
EN14604:2005, which uses dual detection techniques for quicker
response times, wider range of re types and fewer false alarms.
All have a sealed-in battery with a 10-year lifetime and warranty.
They have clear visible status indications for Power (green), Fault
(yellow) and three extra-large Alarm indicators (red).
In addition, all versions have an audible alarm and a TEST/HUSH
button.

• • • • • •
All Honeywell X-Series alarms (including optional X-Series Carbon
Monoxide alarms) can be wirelessly interconnected using an
optional plug-in module. This means that if one X-Series Alarm
triggers an alarm, all interconnected units will give a loud audible
alarm (85dB) as well. This is especially useful, when living in a
large or multi-story dwelling. The maximum number of devices
that can be added to a network is 32. Some wireless module
information is included in this manual for completeness. If
equipped, the module will use the indicator for Wireless (blue) on
the smoke or heat alarms. The XH100 gives a re warning when
the temperature at the alarm reaches 58°C.
If there are other alarms connected to it in a network, they will
ash and chirp every four hours to show that an alarm somewhere
in the network has a fault, and that it needs to be investigated.
When an interconnected alarm is in fault or alarm, all the
interconnected alarms will chirp. The alarm that is in fault or
has detected a threat will chirp and ash. Only the alarm that
is in fault or detected the threat can be silenced, silencing the
interconnected alarms.
Once the alarm in the fault state is located, counting the number
of chirps and ashes will establish whether it is a wireless module
fault or a smoke alarm fault.
The chirps can be silenced for 24 hours by pressing the
TEST/HUSH button until the yellow LED blinks. Pressing the button
again will restore the chirps. The 24 hour period can be restarted
by pressing the TEST/HUSH button twice. When a remote fault
occurs, press the TEST/HUSH button on the alarm that is in the
fault state as that will hush the other alarms in the network.
You must investigate and clear all faults without delay. When you
nd the faulty alarm:
• Check the ‘Replace by...’ date, and replace the alarm if it
has expired.
• Check the dates on all of the other alarm modules if one
module has passed its ‘Replace by...’ date.
5. Testing your alarm
Automatic self-test
Your smoke or heat alarm has a self-test function, which is
performed automatically every 10 seconds.
Monthly Test
The smoke or heat alarm should be tested monthly to check that
all visual and audible signals are working.
Press the TEST/HUSH button for 1 second to activate a full test
cycle showing all lights/messages (green, yellow, red) and sound
with the audible output at a reduced level
Hold the TEST/HUSH button for 10 seconds or more if you want to
test the full 85dB sound level.

If you have carefully read all of these instructions and your alarm
still fails to work, contact the nearest customer service centre
listed in the ‘Contact Us’ section. Our Customer Service advisors
may be able to resolve your problem quickly. Alternatively you
can contact your local supplier.
To return the alarm for repair or replacement, please either use
the original packaging or put it in a solid box or padded envelope
with a letter describing the fault. To prevent inadvertent activation
in transit, please switch off the alarm by removing it from the
mounting plate.
Please notify your postal service that the package contains
sealed batteries, as they might be restricted or forbidden postal
items.
Proof of purchase must be provided if you want to claim repair
under the warranty.
17. Recyclable packaging
The Green Dot logo signies that we are a
member of an organisation which collects and
recycles packaging. Our packaging is widely
recycled using local facilities.
This section provides general recommendations for the location
of battery powered smoke or heat alarms in residential premises.
Please ensure that you also follow country specic regulations
and guidelines such as the British BS5839-6 or the German
DIN14676. For example, certain countries require the installation of
interconnected mains powered smoke or heat alarms.
The selection of the correct smoke or heat alarm model depends
on the location it will protect.
Where to install Smoke Alarms (XS100T and XS100)
Ideally a smoke alarm should be installed in every room of a
house, except kitchens, bathrooms and garages. As a minimum,
one smoke alarm should be tted on every level of the house,
including stairways. While the XS100 smoke alarm is sufcient for
this purpose, the XS100T optical-thermal re and smoke alarm is
specially recommended for use on exit routes and stairways as it
has the potential to detect heat build-up in narrow or high areas
where smoke may not reach the alarm.
Where to install Heat Alarms (XH100)
Heat alarms should be installed where smoke alarms can’t go, as
they are not affected by fumes, vapours or condensation. I.e. they
can go in kitchens, bathrooms or garages.
7. Installation – Where to site the alarms continued
Using alarms in a network
Networked alarms can give advance warning of potential danger
from hidden res. They operate as shown below.
8. Installation – Where not to put the alarm
Where not to put the Smoke Alarms (XS100T and XS100)
A smoke alarm (XS100T, XS100) should not be installed in
bathrooms or kitchens where steam or cooking fumes could give
rise to false alarms, or in a garage where it could react to exhaust
fumes from your vehicle.
Where not to put the Heat Alarm (XH100)
Heat alarms should not be installed in locations where local
regulations require a Smoke alarm that satises EN14604. Check
with your local re and rescue service if you are unsure.
11. First time switch on
First read the paragraph above and decide whether or not you
want the power light to ash.
To switch on the alarm:
1. Fit the alarm onto the ceiling mounting plate approximately
10 mm off centre
2. Press rmly against the mounting plate and slide the alarm
sideways until the locking tab clicks
3. The unit will automatically switch on
12. For Tamper Proof Ceiling Mounting
The alarm can be locked via use of a tamper-proof clip on the
mounting plate. This should be removed before installation.
1. Break off the removable clip. Pliers can be used if required.
2. Fix the alarm in place on the ceiling.
3. The alarm can now only be removed (and turned off) by using
a screwdriver
This product complies with the Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive 2002/96/EC.
Components or assemblies bearing this or similar
symbols shall not be treated as household or municipal waste.
Waste electrical products (end of life) shall be recovered and
disposed of at specialist WEEE disposal facilities.
Please contact your local authority, your distributor,
or the manufacturer if you require more information
about recycling WEEE.
19. Disclaimer
Smoke and heat alarms are designed to alert you to the presence
of potentially dangerous smoke or re. They are not designed or
intended to remedy a re or to locate or record a specic source of
re. Honeywell shall therefore not be held liable to pay for any re
investigation or service call carried out or arranged in response to
an alarm.
Dust and insect contamination is beyond our control, it is totally
unpredictable and is considered normal wear and tear. For this
reason, contamination is not covered by the warranty.
Preferred locations
The alarm should be tted on the ceiling, as close to the centre of
the room as possible but at least 50 cm (10 inches) from any wall
or light tting. This is to avoid dead air in the
corners of the room where smoke might not
reach, or possible obstruction
by light ttings.
>70 cm
Optimal Satisfactory
The alarm should be tted where you can hear it when you are
asleep, for example in the hallway outside your bedrooms. This will
also protect you from smoke rising up the stairs from a lower level.
9. Installation – Mounting the Alarm
The Alarm pack contains:
• 1 x Smoke or heat alarm
• 1 x Ceiling mounting plate
• Plugs and screws
• Instructions (this document)
Clip with a breakable part
The alarm must be xed horizontally and to the ceiling using the
enclosed mounting plate. The mounting plate can be screwed
to the ceiling using either the central hole or the two slots in the

<7.6 m
15 - 30 cm
Note: National regulations differ with respect to quantity
and placement of smoke detectors. If in doubt, please
check, for example by contacting your local Fire Service.
Mounting the Alarm on a ceiling
The central hole may be used on its own or alternatively if
specic xed orientation is required, the two slots can be used
1. Place mounting plate where you want to mount the alarm.
2. With a pencil, mark the location of the screw holes.
3. Drill either one or two holes 5 mm in diameter and >25 mm
in depth and then insert the provided plastic plugs.
4. Screw the mounting plate to the ceiling using supplied
screws.
Mounting the Alarm on a wall
Sometimes it may be advisable to mount additional alarms on a
wall instead of a ceiling. For example, this might be necessary in
tall vertical spaces such as stairwells, because heat and smoke
may rise rapidly and by-pass the ‘dead air’ areas that can form
beneath stair landings. Also, by visibly ashing above the stairs,
it can warn occupants of danger on a lower oor before they
descend into it.
If you do use this method, the alarm(s) should be placed where
they can be seen from above, and should be well away from any
corners or obstructions.
The procedure for tting the alarm is the same as that used for
ceiling mounting, but you may want to put the locking tab at the
bottom or side where it is more easily accessible.
14. Decorating and Building Work
You are advised to cover or remove the alarm during decoration
and building work to protect the alarm from inadvertent
operation, damage, or the ingress of dust or debris.
Please ensure that alternative safety arrangements are in place
while the alarm is covered and inoperable, and ensure that
the protection is removed when work has stopped for the day.
Failure to do so could lead to loss of life.
15. Conformance
The XS100 and XS100T have been tested and approved to EN
14604 for compliance with Construction Products Regulation
305/2011.
The XW100 radio module complies with the R&TTE directive and
RED directive.
The XS100T, XS100 and XH100 comply with the current EMC
and ROHS directives.
The XH100 has been tested and approved to BS 5446-2, re
detection and re alarm devices for dwellings, specication for
heat alarms.
These declarations of conformity are available for download from
homesafety.honeywell.com.
21. What to do in the case of a re alarm
• Raise the alarm by shouting Fire, Fire, Fire, or by banging
metal objects together.
• Get out straight away, using the nearest re exit.
• Do not stop to investigate the re or to collect valuables
or pets.
• Use your escape route to get everyone out and meet at an
agreed point.
• Close any doors which are open, and only open the doors you
need to go through. This will help to stop the re spreading
so rapidly.
• Check doors and handles with the back of your hand. If they
feel warm, don’t open the door as the re is on the other side.
• If there is a lot of smoke, crawl along the oor as the air and
visibility will be better.
• Once you’ve got everyone out of the building, call the Fire
Brigade from any phone. Give the operator your name and
address.
• Don’t go back into the building for anything. If there is still
someone inside, tell reghters when they arrive – they will
be able to nd the person quicker and more safely than you.
• Find somewhere safe to wait for the Fire Brigade. When they
arrive, try to give them as much information as possible about
the re and building.
