Product Description

Amazon.com Item Description
The BRK hardwire heat alarm is perfect for use in attached garages and other locations exactly where standard smoke alarms are not appropriate. The unit alarms if either the temperature reaches 135 degrees Fahrenheit or the temperature rises extra than 15 degrees Fahrenheit in one minute.
The HD6135FB hardwire heat alarm consists of these attributes:

120-volt AC/DC with 9-volt battery backup
135 degrees Fahrenheit fixed rate and rate-of-rise temperature sensing
Microprocessor controlled for fewer nuisance alarms
The test/silence button both silences a non-threatening alarm or low battery warning and permits you to test the unit's functionality. Silencing and testing functions can be run by most household remote controls such as the ones applied for the television, stereo, and VHS or DVD players.
Latching alarm indicator which automatically identifies which unit initiated the alarm.
120-volt AC inter-connectable (with maximum 18 compatible devices). The alarm can be interconnected with up to 12 other compatible smoke alarms and six compatible devices like bells, horns, repeaters and door closers. If a single unit triggers an alarm, all smoke alarms in the series will sound. Power indicators show which unit in the series initiated the alarm.
85-decibel horn.
Meets UL needs.
ten-year restricted warranty.

Customer Reviews

The HD6135 Heat Alarm by BRK is easy to install. If you already have a hardwired BRK alarm it just plugs right in. If you do not then the included plug simply connects to your power and then plugs into the alarm.
The IR remote control silence/test feature is cool in that you can use your TV's remote control to test the alarm. We have not had a problem with remotes inadvertantly setting off the alarm, but it has been installed in the furnace room away from TVs.
We have had no false alarms, and, thankfully, no real alarms either.
I have copied the specs from the BRK website:
» 135F Fixed temperature and Rate-of-Rise
» Thermistor heat sensor
» 9V Battery Backup
» IR Remote Control Silence/Test uses most remote controls to temporarily quiet unwanted alarms and test alarm functions
» Latching alarm indicator - remembers which unit initiated an alarm
» Two silence features - can silence the low-battery chirp for up to eight hours or temporarily silence an unwanted nuisance alarm

First Alert has built very versatile products. I have an old house where I could not hard ware all of the locations so I was able to utilize a combination of their OneLink products and hard wired products to provide a complete warning system (Heat Alarms in the garage, Smoke in the bedrooms and smoke and Carbon Monoxide in halls, kitchen and basement.
