The Pyronix Two-Way Wireless Heat Sensor (Model: HEAT-WE) is designed to detect heat rather than smoke, making it suitable for specific environments where smoke detection alone may not be effective. Here’s an overview of its installation, application, compatibility with Pyronix alarms, and functionality:

1. Installation Steps

A. Preparation

1. Select a Suitable Location

   • Avoid areas with high airflow (e.g., near air vents or fans).
   • Do not install near heat sources like ovens or radiators to prevent false alarms.
   • Ensure the sensor is within range of the Pyronix wireless alarm panel or a compatible wireless expander.

2. Mounting the Sensor

   • The sensor typically comes with a base for wall or ceiling mounting.
   • Use screws or adhesive pads (if provided) to fix the sensor to the chosen location.

3. Power and Enrollment

   • The HEAT-WE is battery-powered. Insert the provided batteries if not pre-installed.
   • Follow the user manual to enroll the sensor into the Pyronix alarm panel:
     • Access the programming menu on your Pyronix panel.
     • Select the "Learn Device" option and trigger the sensor to pair it.

4. Testing

   • Perform a heat test (usually using a heat source, per the manual) to ensure the sensor triggers correctly.

2. Areas to Install

The HEAT-WE is ideal for environments where traditional smoke detectors might not work effectively or could give false alarms. Examples include:

• Kitchens: To avoid false alarms caused by cooking fumes.
• Garages: Where smoke or dust particles might interfere with a smoke detector.
• Boiler Rooms or Utility Rooms: Where heat is more indicative of fire than smoke.

Ensure the sensor is installed in locations that comply with local fire safety regulations.

3. Compatibility with Pyronix Alarms

The HEAT-WE is part of the Pyronix Enforcer range and is compatible with:

• Pyronix Enforcer Control Panel: Fully supported for two-way communication and configuration.
• Wireless Expanders: Can be paired with Pyronix wireless receivers if you’re using a hybrid or wired Pyronix system.
• Pyronix Cloud and App Integration: If connected to a compatible Pyronix system, alarms from the HEAT-WE can trigger notifications on the ProControl+ app.

Ensure your Pyronix system is updated to the latest firmware for optimal compatibility.

4. How It Works

• The HEAT-WE detects abnormal temperature rises or when the temperature exceeds a preset threshold, typically around 57°C (135°F).
• It uses two-way wireless communication to:
  • Confirm receipt of signals by the control panel.
  • Extend battery life by reducing unnecessary transmissions.

Features:

• Event Triggering: If the heat sensor detects a fire-like condition, it will send an alarm signal to the control panel.
• Tamper Detection: Alerts you if the sensor is removed or tampered with.
• Battery Monitoring: Notifies the panel when the battery needs replacement.

Maintenance Tips

• Test the sensor regularly to ensure it’s working correctly.
• Replace batteries as needed (typically every 1-2 years, depending on usage).
• Clean the sensor occasionally to remove dust or debris that could affect performance.
