CAVIUS 2208 Mains Powered Smoke Alarm Device 

Product Information: Mains Powered Smoke Alarm Device

The mains powered smoke alarm device is a product developed by CAVIUS and is designed for private homes. It complies with the Radio Equipment Directive 2014/53/EU and has a radio-frequency power transmitted of 20 dBm. The product has two different alarm signals – Alarm signal 1 (— — —) for life-threatening alarms and Alarm signal 2 (- – -) for non-life-threatening alarms.

Alarm Mode

When smoke is detected, the smoke alarm will go into Alarm Mode. The red LED will flash, and it will sound the alarm signal. The smoke alarm will also transmit the alarm signal to other connected alarms, which will also sound the alarm signal after a short delay.

Test Function

The test function of the smoke alarm is used to ensure that all alarms are operating correctly and are within range of each other. It is recommended to test the alarms at least once per quarter. Press the test button on any alarm for at least 10 seconds. This will send out a test signal from the alarm, and 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 that only the originating alarm’s red LED will flash, so it can be identified.

Pause/Hush Function

If the smoke alarms are set into a false alarm by cooking, fireplace, etc., they can be paused for 10 minutes by pressing the test button on the originating smoke alarm only (indicated by the flashing LED). It is necessary to locate the source of the alarm before using the hush function to make sure that it is not a life-threatening situation. All alarms should be assumed as due to an actual fire, and the dwelling should be evacuated immediately.

Mains powered smoke alarm device Commercial reference: 2208
Developed by CAVIUS
The smoke alarm is designed for private homes.

PLEASE READ THE USER GUIDE CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLATION AND RETAIN FOR FU- TURE USE.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The device comes with a 3V lithium battery. Batteries are to be handled with care and battery powered de-vices should be kept out of reach of children. Do not try to recharge or burn the batteries.

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 at least 10 seconds. 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 transmits a weaker RF signal to ensure an optimal operation in normal conditions. When the test signal is sent out, the alarms will respond in two ways:

1. A single beep every 8 seconds indicates that the alarms are connected and functioning.
2. Three short beeps every 8 seconds indicates a smoke sensor fault. The alarm should be cleaned by running the vacuum (on a low setting) around the smoke alarm chamber and tested again.
   If required this indication can be stopped early on each alarm by a short press of the test button.
   TIP: It is safe to cover the sound output holes with your finger or a cloth during the testing to minimize the sound level emitted.
   If the problem continues, please visit www.cavius.com for any trouble shooting.

NORMAL MODE
In normal mode the LED will flash every 48 seconds to show correct operation. The green LED is on when the alarm is connected to mains power. It may take up to 1 minute to indicate that mains power has been connected.

ALARM MODE
When the smoke is detected, the smoke alarm will go into ‘Alarm Mode’. It will sound the alarm signal and the red LED will flash.
The smoke 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.
