        Red Smoke Alarms | Wireless Heat Alarm 10-Year Lithium Battery | White Interconnectable

        The Red Smoke Alarms RHA10RF is an RF wireless heat alarm rated to activate at 55–59°C using a thermistor sensor, powered by a 10-year non-removable lithium battery. The RHA10RF is certified to AS1603.3:2018 and interconnects wirelessly with up to 40 Red smoke and heat alarms across a 30-metre indoor range. It is not a smoke detector; instead, it is engineered specifically to detect heat in kitchens, bathrooms, laundries, and other spaces where steam or cooking smoke would trigger false alarms on traditional photoelectric sensors. The RHA10RF mounts on ceiling or wall and includes a test/hush button with visual LED indicators for alarm and low-battery status.

        Standard photoelectric smoke alarms are prone to false activation in environments with steam or cooking fumes, forcing occupants to disable them entirely or become desensitised to alarm sounds. This creates a serious safety risk when a real fire is present. The RHA10RF solves this by responding only to heat, cutting false alarms in kitchens and bathrooms while maintaining protection in high-risk areas. Licensed electricians and renovators fit heat alarms alongside photoelectric units to create comprehensive fire detection without nuisance triggers on a single wireless mesh. No hardwiring required, no battery changes for a decade, and simple pairing with other Red alarms makes the RHA10RF the default upgrade for kitchen and bathroom fire safety in domestic rewires and renovations.

        The compact 83mm-diameter unit is quick to install and pairs instantly with an existing Red wireless system, making it an ideal retrofit solution for properties where ceiling cavities are inaccessible or wall chasing is not feasible. Its 10-year sealed battery removes the annual maintenance burden that catches many households unprepared, and the wireless interconnection ensures that a fire detected by one alarm triggers all others in the house simultaneously. Occupants can silence nuisance alarms using the hush button without committing to permanent disablement, preserving fire safety across the entire network.

        Features

        • Heat activation at 55–59°C — thermistor sensor targets temperature rise, not smoke, eliminating false alarms from cooking steam, bathroom humidity, and kitchen fumes.
        • 10-year non-replaceable lithium battery — eliminates the annual "change your smoke alarm battery" cycle and the risk of occupants discovering dead batteries during a fire emergency.
        • RF wireless interconnection — connects to up to 40 Red smoke and heat alarms on a single mesh network, triggering all alarms simultaneously if any one detects heat.
        • 433.92 MHz transmission frequency — operates on the same frequency as all Red Smoke Alarms RF modules and wireless bases, allowing full integration into existing systems.
        • 30-metre indoor operating range — covers standard residential homes on a single storey; 100-metre range in free field for larger properties or outdoor testing.
        • 85 dB alarm sound at 3 metres — meets AS1603.3:2018 requirements for audibility in domestic settings without excessive volume for occupants.
        • Test and hush function — verify operation monthly with the test button and silence nuisance alarms without disabling the entire network.
        • Red and green LED indicators — visual confirmation of operation (green) and low-battery status (red) without opening the casing.
        • Surface-mount installation — attaches to ceiling or wall with screws, no tool changeover or special fixings required on standard plasterboard.
        • Compact 83mm-diameter design — fits standard ceiling roses and wall-mounted positions without the bulk of hardwired 240V units.
        • Compatible with Red Smoke Alarms wireless systems — pairs with R10RF photoelectric alarms, RHA240SL 240V heat alarms (when fitted with RHARFM), and R240/R240RC alarms with RWB wireless base for unified network integration.
        • Not suitable for smoke detection — the RHA10RF responds to heat only; use alongside photoelectric alarms for comprehensive fire coverage, not as a replacement for smoke detection.

        Where to use

        • Kitchens and cooking areas — the RHA10RF eliminates false alarms from cooking steam and fumes while maintaining fire detection, the key reason to choose heat over photoelectric in these spaces.
        • Bathrooms with high humidity — shower steam no longer triggers the network; the alarm responds only to true temperature rise from fire.
        • Laundries and drying rooms — environments with continuous condensation benefit from heat-only detection without the constant false-alarm cycle.
        • Garages and workshops — where welding, grinding, or other processes generate temporary smoke or dust, a heat alarm avoids the need to disable protection.
        • Properties without hardwiring capacity — rental properties, heritage homes, and buildings where ceiling cavities are inaccessible or plaster chasing is not permitted can install wireless heat alarms without hardwiring.
        • Retrofit and renovation upgrades — replace failed hardwired units in kitchens and bathrooms with wireless heat alarms to avoid re-running mains power and re-plastering.

        The RHA10RF is not a replacement for photoelectric smoke alarms and should not be used as the sole fire detection device in a home. Queensland legislation (and national fire safety standards) require photoelectric smoke alarms in bedrooms and hallways; the RHA10RF supplements these in kitchens and bathrooms where steam would cause false triggers. Install both sensor types on a single wireless network to achieve comprehensive, nuisance-free fire detection.

        (RHA10RF)

        The RHA10RF is a heat alarm only. It detects fire by temperature rise (55–59°C), not smoke. Use it in kitchens, bathrooms, and laundries alongside photoelectric smoke alarms to avoid false triggers from steam and cooking fumes.

        The RHA10RF is a battery-powered wireless unit and does not require a licensed electrician for installation. Surface-mount installation uses only a drill and screws. However, as fire detection is safety-critical, confirm proper positioning and system pairing before relying on it.

        Yes. The RHA10RF pairs wirelessly with R10RF photoelectric alarms, RHA240SL heat alarms (when fitted with RHARFM wireless module), and R240/R240RC models (when fitted with RWB wireless base). Up to 40 alarms interconnect on one network.

        The RHA10RF operates at 30 metres indoor range line-of-sight, and 100 metres in free field for testing. Walls and distance reduce effective range; test pairing before relying on distant units.

        The 10-year lithium battery is sealed and non-replaceable. When the battery reaches end-of-life, the alarm stops sounding low-battery alerts and must be discarded and replaced with a new RHA10RF. There are no replaceable batteries to change annually.

        The RHA10RF produces 85 dB at 3 metres, meeting AS1603.3:2018 audibility standards. The hush button on the unit silences the alarm for 10 minutes (standard nuisance-alarm silence delay), allowing you to clear steam without disabling the entire network.

        Once triggered, the RHA10RF sounds continuously, interconnecting wirelessly to trigger all other Red alarms on the network. The alarm will not stop sounding until manually silenced or the heat drops below activation threshold.
