CAVIUS 3202-008 Thermal Mains Powered Heat Alarm

Product Information

The Thermal Mains powered heat alarm is a device developed by CAVIUS. It is designed for areas that are not suitable for smoke alarms due to a high risk of false alarms, such as kitchens, garages, or workshops. The heat alarm detects rapidly increased temperature levels and absolute heat levels of 58 degrees Celsius. It is powered by mains power (110-230volt AC) and has a lithium back-up battery (CR2). The maximum number of alarms that can be interlinked within a house group is 32. The heat alarm has a diameter of 78mm and a height of 46mm. It comes with a battery back-up that lasts for 1 year in battery mode without mains power and up to 10 years with mains power. The product complies with standards such as EN54-5 class A1/R, RoHS, REACH, RED, and Kitemark BS 5446 part2.

Product Usage Instructions

1. Before installation, read the installation guide carefully and retain it for future use.
2. Handle the 3V lithium battery with care and keep battery-powered devices out of reach of children. Do not attempt to recharge or burn the batteries.
3. To interlink alarms within a house group, ensure they are from the CAVIUS Wireless Alarm Family. The distance between interlinked alarms should be tested after installation and should not exceed 10m.
4. To put alarms into Learn Mode, slide 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.
5. Do not remove the battery during Learn Mode as it will interrupt the learning process.
6. Press and hold the test button on one alarm until it beeps and the LED flashes. This alarm will become the master and send out a specific house code to the other alarms.
7. Do not install heat alarms in areas where smoldering fires occur over flaming fires. Photoelectric smoke alarms are recommended for such areas.
8. For wall installation, ensure the minimum distance from the ceiling is 15cm and the maximum distance is 30cm. Install the heat alarm on the ceiling or wall, keeping it away from the oven/hob/stove.
9. For ceiling installation, ensure the minimum distance from the wall is 30cm and the minimum distance from the stove is 30cm, with a maximum distance of 50cm from the stove.
10. To set up and connect alarms, start by pulling out the battery isolation strip. The RF connection is done with the device powered by the battery only. The product label must not be removed as it contains important information regarding the product.
11. Once all alarms have their red LED light flashing, they are connected and must be switched out of Learn Mode and installed.
