BEFORE USE AND RETAIN FOR FUTURE USE!
The Flood Alarm is designed to detect a leak of
water from washing machines, water pipes or un-
der-sink cabinets. It can also be used to detect
ooded basements.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:
The device comes with a 3V lithium battery. Batter-
ies are to be handled with care and battery pow-
ered devices should be kept out of reach of chil-
dren. Do not try to recharge or burn the batteries.
TECHNICAL INFORMATION:
The maximum number of alarms that can be inter-
linked within a house group is 32.
Please note: These must be alarms from the CAV-
IUS Wireless Alarm Family.
The distance between interlinked alarms depends
on the house layout and they should always be
tested after installation. It is not advised to get
more than 10m distance between two alarms.
Diameter: 60mm. Height: 31mm.
The alarm is powered by a replaceable 3v CR123A
lithium battery.
Complies to standards: RoHS, REACH, EMC di-
rective 2004/108/EC.
1. HOW TO SET UP AND CONNECT ALARMS:
Open the ood alarm top cover by twisting counter
clockwise. Remove the Test button / Lid to access
the battery and the RF learn slide switch.
Start by pulling out the battery isolation strip as
shown.
Please note: The product label must not be re-
moved as it contains important information regard-
ing the product.
All alarms that need to be connected in the house
should be put into ‘Learn Mode’ by sliding the
switch on the top of the alarm to the ‘Learn mode’
position.
The red LED will light up to indicate that ‘Learn
Mode’ has been selected.
Do not take out the battery during ‘Learn Mode’ as
this will interrupt the learn process.
Press and hold the test button at one alarm only,
until it beeps and the LED ashes. This alarm will
become the master and will start sending out a
specic house code to the other alarms.
As the other alarms receive the specic house
code, they will also ash the LED light.
When the red LED light ashes 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.
Remount the Test button / Lid. Close the ood
alarm top cover by twisting clockwise.
2. THE BEST AREAS TO INSTALL THE
FLOOD ALARM:
• Install a ood alarm where it is hard to discover
possible leaks.
• Install next to washing machine, dishwasher,
uder-sink cabinet or in the cellar.
• Install in basements.
Place the alarm where it is reachable in order to
test the battery.
3. AREAS WHERE NOT TO INSTALL FLOOD
ALARMS:
• On the ceiling.
• On the wall (unless using accessory wall
mounting base, see section 5).
• In rooms where temperature goes outside
0°C to 40°C.
Place the alarm where it is reachable in order to
test the battery.
4. PLACEMENT:
The ood alarm is designed to be placed on the
oor near to possible leaks.
NOTE: If you place the ood alarm in places where
a potential water leak / ood can rise higher than
2cm, there is a risk of your ood alarm beeing dam-
aged. In these places we recommend wall mount-
ing base with probe.
5. ACCESSORY WALL MOUNTING BASE WITH
PROBE:
NOTE: The wall mounting base with probe is an
accessory option for the ood alarm. It must be
purchased separately.
For installation in basements with risk of ooding
or areas with difcult accessibility.

Installation with screws and plugs:
Place the ood alarm base on the wall and the
probe on the oor.
Make sure that the probe reaches required level
either to the ground or down the drain.
Installation with adhesive tape:
1. Choose a suitable spot. Make sure that the
mounting area is stable, dry and free of dust and
grease. Check that the surface is at. Once as-
sembled the Mounting base cannot be removed or
repositioned.
2. Attach the alarm into the socket. Make sure that
the alarm has been tted into the socket properly
before you start sticking it to the wall.
3. Remove the protective Foil from the adhesive
tape.
4. Mount the socket with the attached alarm to the
wall by applying light pressure.
5. Test the alarm according to the users guide of
your alarm.
Note: When attached or detaching the alarm from
the socket always make sure to secure the socket
by holding onto the socket.
6. 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 ashes correctly (every 48sec.).
Press the test button on any alarm for 2 sweeps of
alarm signal 1 (--- --- ---) - Please refer to section
8. 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 ash 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 by:
A single beep every 8 seconds to indicate that the
alarms are connected and functioning.
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 nger during the testing to minimize the sound
level emitted.
Test of the water leak function:
To test the water leak function, place the ood
alarm on a wet cloth and it should go into alarm.
7. NORMAL MODE:
In normal mode the LED will ash every 48 sec-
onds to show correct operation.
8. ALARM MODE:
Flood alarm condition is indicated by a series of
repeated tones.
The ood alarm will also transmit the alarm sig-
nal 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,
like a smoke alarm.
Alarm signal 2 (- - -) is a non life threatening
alarm, like a ooding alarm.
Smoke alarm signal: --- --- ---
Heat alarm signal: --- --- ---
Flood alarm signal: - - -
Please note that only the originating alarm’s LED
will ash, so it can be identied.
9. PAUSE/HUSH FUNCTION:
Flood alarm can be paused for 10 minutes by
pressing the test button on the originating alarm
only (indicated by the ashing LED, and after 10
minutes goes back to normal function).
The reason that you can not pause the other
alarms, only the originating alarm, is for your own
safety. It is necessary to locate the source of the
alarm to make sure that it is not a situation that
needs your attention.
10. ADD EXTRA DEVICE:
All CAVIUS interconnected alarms within the
Wireless 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, ood etc.
Place all alarms into ‘Learn Mode’ and repeat sec-
tion 1.
Always test connection to all devices by repeating
test function section 6 after adding devices.
11. 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 effected by the low battery will only
beep, no other connected alarms will sound.
It is safe to change batteries in the alarms with-
out going through the learn process again – they
will not forget the codes during the battery change
process.
12. BATTERY REPLACEMENT:
To replace the battery, detach the cover of the ood
alarm by twisting counterclockwise.
Caution: There is a risk of explosion if the batter-
ies are replaced by an incorrect type.
Replace the battery respecting the polarities.
Put the test button back, close the casing by twist-
ing it clockwise, and test the alarm.
13. TROUBLE SHOOTING:
In case of bad or weak signal, change the location
of the ood alarm.
If the ood alarm does not work when the test but-
ton is pushed or tested on a damp cloth, the prob-
able cause is a faulty battery. Check if the battery
is worn out or wet and replace it. Always test the
alarm after replacement of battery.
