Cavius MAINS POWERED SMOKE ALARM
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The device comes with a 3V lithium battery. Batteries are to be handled with care and battery-powered devices 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 con-ditions.
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 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 holes with your finger or cloth 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 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 has two different alarm signals:
- Alarm signal 1 (— — —) is life-threatening alarm.
- 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.
LOW BATTERY SIGNAL
- Your product has a sealed battery backup with a 1-year life in battery mode without mains power and up to 10 years of normal life with mains.
- When the battery is starting its end of life, a short beep will sound out every 48 seconds for 30 days.
- Only the alarm with the low battery will sound, no other connected alarms will sound.
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 power failure.
- If the problem continues, please visit www.cavius.com for any troubleshooting.
