1. Introduction

The SA-17 Wireless Heat Detector is a supervised system for
detecting hi g h tem peratures and sudden temperature
increases within an area.

The detector can be used in any residential or commercial
location, require s no wiring and is ful ly equipped for RF wireless
control from a central security unit. The detector is easy to
install and powered by one 9V battery, giving a typical battery
life of on e year.

Mount the detector on the SA-13 RF base. Using the SA-13's
wireless transmitter, the detector c an connect to any standard
wireless security system. For best performance, Rosslare
recommend using the SA-17 with our custom designed
HomeLogiX and SP-03 wireless security panels. The SA-13 is
powered b y an additional 9V battery.

The detector has anti-tampering sensors on its cover and back
plate, and sends a standard status message to its host security
panel ever y 20 minutes . When the unit's batte r y is running low ,

the unit beeps, flashes its LED indicator and sends an aler t
message to its host control panel.

NOTE: The SA-17 Heat Detector is not designed as a
substitute for a primary fire detection system.

3. Installation

The SA-17 is a single station detector and must not be
connected to other fire alarm systems.

3.1 Location

For full protection, every room should have a heat detector
fitted. At the very least, a home built on a single storey should
have at least one heat detector in the hall, close to all the
living areas, including bedrooms and kitchens. Ensure the alert
siren is audible from every room.

In a home wit h more than one sto r ey, at leas t one heat
detector should be fitted on each landing and at the bottom
of the staircase.

3.2 Mounting the Detector

Before mounting the SA-17 Heat Detector, ensu re that your
chosen mounting area is not in front of any electrical wiring or
pipe work.

Mark two mounting points in the wall, using the SA-13 mounting
bracket.

Drill into the marked points and in sert wall p lu g s .
Screw the mounting bracket into the wall. Be careful not to

over-tighten the screws.
Insert a battery i nto the SA-17 Heat Detector and p ush down

the metal tab fully.
Attach the detec tor to the mounting b ra c ket.

NOTE: Do not paint or cover the detector.

4. Opera ting the Heat Detector

4.1 General Use

During normal operation, the heat detector's LED indicator
should flash once a minu te.

When the unit records dangerously high temperatures or
detects that the temperature in the area is incre asing at a
dangerously high speed, it triggers its built-in siren. If the
detector is connected to a wire less security network, it sends
an alert message to the host security panel.

The siren stops when the temperature has fal len back below
the danger level or the rate of temperature increase has
slowed. An "all clear " message is sent to th e ho s t security
panel.

As standard, the heat detector will trigger an alert when it
detects tempe r atures of 70°C or more, or registers that the
temperature is increasing at more than 12°C per minute. The
trigger values are controlled by a factory setting and can be
adjusted to meet specific client ne eds. Contact Rosslare
Security for more information.

4.2 Testing the Detector

To test the Heat detector, pus h and hold the self-test button for
3 seconds. A loud pulsating siren sounds and the LED indicator
flashes quickly.

Rosslare recommend testing your heat detector once every
week. A Heat detector installed in a car or other non­commercial vehicle should be checked before any long
journeys , and whenever t he vehicle has been in storage for an
extended period of time.

4.3 Maintenance

Dust and dirt reduce the Heat detector's se n sitivity. Clean your
heat detector regularly, by passing a vacuum cleaner with a
brush attachment gently over the front grilled sections and
sides of the heat detector.

When the detecto r ' s battery is low, the detector beeps once
every minute. If the detector is connec ted to a wireless security
network, it sends a low battery warning message to the host
control panel.

The heat detector continues operating with a low battery for
at least 7 days.
