Product Usage Instructions

Before installation, read the user guide carefully and retain it for future use.
Handle the lithium battery with care and keep battery-powered devices out of reach of children. Do not attempt to recharge or burn the batteries.
For interlinking alarms within a house group, put all alarms 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.
Do not remove the product label, as it contains important information regarding the product.
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.
Do not remove the battery during “Learn Mode” as it will interrupt the learning process.
Place the alarms in areas where not to install smoke alarms: avoid corners and within 50cm of a wall.
For ceiling installation, place the smoke alarm a minimum of 50cm from the wall. For cathedral or peak ceiling or wall installation, place it a minimum of 30cm and a maximum of 50cm from the ceiling.
Detach the alarm from the mounting base by twisting it counterclockwise.
Use the mounting base ring to mark the screw holes on the ceiling or wall.
Use the enclosed screws and plugs to install the smoke alarm.
Ensure a minimum of one smoke alarm per floor and a maximum distance between smoke alarms of 10 meters.
Once all alarms receive the specific house code, they will 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.

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 learning 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.

THE BEST AREAS TO INSTALL THE SMOKE ALARM

Install an alarm between possible fire sources and bedrooms as a minimum.
Install alarms on each floor of the house, in hallways and stairways.
Alarms in each room such as bedrooms and living rooms.

Additional alarms increase security.

AREAS WHERE NOT TO INSTALL SMOKE ALARMS

In dusty rooms.
At the top of a high pointed ceiling, in ceiling corners, and within 50cm of a wall.
In rooms where the temperature goes outside +4o to 38oC or above 90% relative humidity does not condense.
In kitchens, garages, laundries, or too close to fireplaces; areas where either dampness, gases, or smoke could occur.

Place the alarm where it is reachable in order to test the battery and for maintenance.

PLACEMENT

The smoke alarm is designed to be installed on a ceiling or wall.

For ceiling installation:
The smoke alarm should be a minimum of 50cm from the wall.

For cathedral or peak ceiling or wall installation:

$CAVIUS-2113-Optical-Smoke-Alarm-Device-fig- $8$$

With a minimum of one smoke alarm per floor and a maximum distance between smoke alarms of 10 meters.

INSTALLING THE SMOKE ALARM

Detach the alarm from the mounting base by twisting it 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 it clockwise until it clicks. If the battery is either missing or inserted incorrectly, or the switch is in ‘Learn Mode’, the smoke 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 48 seconds.)
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: The test function also allows to sending of a depleted RF signal to ensure 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 indicate 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 hole with your finger during the testing to minimize the sound level emitted.
- 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 the correct operation.

ALARM MODE

When a concentration of smoke is detected, the smoke alarm will go into ‘Alarm Mode’. It will sound the alarm signal and the 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 has two different alarm signals:

Alarm signal 1 (— — —) is a life-threatening alarm, like a smoke alarm.
Alarm signal 2 (- – -) is a non-life-threatening 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 smoke 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 smoke alarm only (indicated by the flashing LED).
The reason for 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 Wireless Alarm Family 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 the connection to all devices by repeating test function section 7 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 affected 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 learning process again – they will not forget the codes during the battery change process.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

To replace the battery, detach the smoke alarm from the mounting base by twisting it counterclockwise. Replace the battery respecting the polarities.
Caution: There is a risk of explosion if the batteries are replaced by an incorrect type.
Attach the alarm in the mounting base by twisting it clockwise until it clicks, and test the alarm.

MAINTENANCE & TROUBLESHOOTING

The smoke alarm should be vacuum cleaned once per quarter, to remove dust particles, and it can be wiped with a damp cloth. (Do not open the alarm).
High humidity condensing which can be resolved by drying the smoke alarm.
If the smoke 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 the replacement of the battery.
