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
48 seconds.)
Press the test button on any alarm for 2 sweeps of alarm signal. 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 trouble shooting.
