Replacement for DETA 1155 Mains Powered Heat Alarm

Discontinued Product - No Compatible Replacement

Please Note: The manufacturer has withdrawn from the European market and there is no compatible alternative that will fit onto your existing. Since it is not possible to interlink alarms from different manufacturers, new alarms will be needed throughout. The recommended replacement for the whole discontinued DETA range is the Kidde Firex series. This will require an electrician to replace your old DETA bases with new Kidde bases.

Product Overview

The DETA 1155 mains powered heat alarm with akaline back-up battery has now been discontinued by the manufacturer. To enable DETA 1100 series alarm owners to continue to update their systems, BRK have developed their range of alarms to be entirely compatible with your existing DETA alarm bases. This means that you don't need an electrician to install your replacement alarm.

The recommended replacement for the DETA 1155 heat alarm is the BRK 690MBX. This is also a mains powered heat alarm with replaceable alkaline battery back-up. Heat alarms are designed for locations where smoke alarms may be falsely triggered by everyday household fumes such as kitchens and garages. The replacement alarm features a test & hush button for easy testing and maintenance.

  • Power: 230V mains powered with back-up battery
  • Back-up Battery: 9V alkaline back-up battery (included)
  • Warranty: 5 year manufacturer's warranty
  • Fits onto your existing DETA alarm push-fit base
    • BRK twist-fit base included to keep as a spare
  • Suitable for kitchens, garages and home workshops
  • Thermistor heat sensor provides resilience against false alarms from normal fumes
  • CE and Kitemarked to BS 5446-2: 2003
  • Performs a self-check every 48 seconds to ensure the alarm is functioning correctly
  • Test and silence button feature
  • Replacements are also available for the DETA 1151 and 1153 mains powered smoke alarms
  • Other DETA / BRK replacement kits are available to cover the full DETA 1110 and 1150 series
  • Product warranty and life commences from date of purchase

The simple installation process of the 690MBX replacement alarm negates the need for an electrician, though you must ensure that mains power to all interlinked alarms is cut before beginning work. The interlink wire can carry a live electric current between alarms if they are powered from different circuits.

Compatible Alarms

Below is a table of all alarms which can be interchanged using the same base plate and interlink system. Care should be taken to ensure the correct model is purchased to replace existing alarms. Optical smoke alarms can be used in place of ionisation smoke alarms, but heat alarms and smoke alarms serve different purposes and cannot be swapped.
