Mains powered smoke alarm device
Model no.: 2208
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 cor-rectly 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 con-ditions.
When the test signal is sent out, the alarms will re-spond 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 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.
- Alarm signal 2 (- – -) is a non life threatening alarm.
- Smoke alarm signal: — — —
- Heat alarm signal: — — —
Please note that only the originating alarm’s red 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.

Your product has a sealed battery back-up with a 1 year life in battery mode
without mains power, and up to 10 years normal life with mains.

Only the alarm with the low battery will sound, no oth-er connected alarms
will sound.
