- absolute heat level of 58 degrees C.
INSTRUCTION
The maximum number of alarms that can be interlinked within a house group are
32.
Please note: These must be alarms from the CAVIUS Wireless Alarm Family.
The distance between interlinked alarms depends on the house layout and they
should always be tested after installation. It is not advised to get more than
10m distance between two alarms.
Diameter: 65mm. Height: 44mm.
The alarm is powered by a replaceable 3v CR123A lithium battery.
HOW TO SET UP AND CONNECT ALARMS
Start by pulling out the battery isolation strip as shown.
Please note: The product label must not be removed as it contains important information regarding the product.
All alarms that need to be connected in the house should be put into ‘Learn Mode’ by sliding the switch on the back of the alarm to the ‘Learn Mode’ position.
The red LED will light up to indicate that ‘Learn Mode’ has been selected.
Please note that when the alarms are placed in ‘Learn Mode’ they can’t be
inserted into the mounting base.
Do not take out the battery during ‘Learn Mode’ as this will interrupt the
learn process.
Press and hold the test button at one alarm only, until it beeps and the LED flashes. This alarm will become the master and will start sending out a specific house code to the other alarms.
As the other alarms receive the specific house code, they will also flash the LED light.
When the red LED light flashes on all alarms, they are connected and MUST BE SWITCHED OUT OF ‘LEARN MODE’ and installed.
Label the original “Learn” alarm in order to easily add new CAVIUS Wireless Family alarms to the system.
THE BEST AREAS TO INSTALL THE HEAT ALARM
- Areas not suitable for smoke alarms due to high risk of false alarms
- Kitchen area

For wall installation:
For celling installation
INSTALLING THE HEAT ALARM
Detach the alarm from the mounting base by twisting counterclockwise.
Use the mounting base ring to mark the screw holes on the ceiling or the wall.
Once the mounting base is installed, attach the alarm by twisting clockwise until it clicks. If the bat-tery is either missing or inserted incorrectly, or the switch is in ‘Learn Mode’, the heat alarm will not be able to click into the mounting base.
TEST FUNCTION
After installation, and at least once per quarter, test all of your alarms to
ensure they are operating correctly and are within range of each other.
It is recommended to check visually every week if the LED flashes correctly
(every 48sec.)
Press the test button on any alarm for 2 sweeps of alarm signal 1 (— — —) –
Please refer to section 8. This will send out a test signal from the alarm;
all other connected alarms should receive the signal within a short time. The
alarms will emit a short beep and the LED will flash every 8 seconds for 2
minutes.
NOTE: Test function also allows to send a depleted RF signal to ensure an optimal operation in normal conditions.
When the test signal is sent out, the alarms will respond in two ways:
- A single beep every 8 seconds indicates that the alarms are connected and functioning.
- Three short beeps every 8 seconds indicates a heat sensor fault.
If required this indication can be stopped early on each alarm by a short
press of the test button.
If the problem continues, please visit www.cavius.com
for any troubleshooting.
NORMAL MODE:
In normal mode the LED will flash every 48 seconds to show correct operation.
ALARM MODE
When a rapid and constant change of temperature is detected, the heat alarm
will go into ‘Alarm Mode’. It will sound the alarm signal and the LED will
flash.
The heat alarm will also transmit the alarm signal to the other connected
alarms, which will also sound the alarm signal after a short delay.
The CAVIUS Wireless Family have two different alarm signals:
Alarm signal 1 (— — —) is life-threatening alarms, like a smoke alarm.
Alarm signal 2 (- – -) is a non life-threatening alarm, like a flooding alarm:
alarm, like a flooding alarm:
- Smoke alarm signal: — — —
- Heat alarm signal: — — —
- Flood alarm signal: – – –
Please note that only the originating alarm’s LED
will flash, so it can be identified.
PAUSE/HUSH FUNCTION
If the heat alarms are to set into a false alarm by cooking, fireplace, etc.
they can be paused for 10 minutes by pressing the test button on the
originating heat alarm only (indicated by the flashing LED).
The reason of this is that it is necessary to locate the source of the alarm
before using the hush function. This is to make sure that it is not a life
threatening situation.
ADD EXTRA DEVICE
All CAVIUS interconnected alarms within the can be added to the system as they run on the same frequency and use the same data protocol.This means that the wireless system can consist of a combination of smoke, heat, flood etc.
Place all alarms into ‘Learn Mode’ and repeat section 1.
Always test connection to all devices by repeating test function section 6
after adding devices.
LOW BATTERY SIGNAL
Your product has a 5Y battery life.
When the battery is starting its end of life, a short beep will sound out
every 48 seconds for 30 days.
The alarm effected by the low battery will only beep, no other connected
alarms will sound.
It is safe to change batteries in the alarms without going through the learn
process again – they will not forget the codes during the battery change
process.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT:
To replace the battery, detach the heat alarm from the mounting base by
twisting it counterclockwise.
Replace the battery respecting the polarities.
Attach the alarm in the mounting base by twisting clockwise until it clicks,
and test the alarm.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If you are experiencing false alarms with just general cooking, you may have
your heat alarm too close to the cooking hobs and stove. Try reinstalling
slightly further away to alleviate any issues.
If the heat alarm does not work when the test button is pushed, the probable
cause is a faulty battery.
Check if the battery is worn out and replace it.
Always test the alarm after replacement of battery.
