Cavius FLOOD User manual

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 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 all alarms flash the red LED, they are
connected and can be switched out of ‘Learn
Mode’ and installed.
4. Switch out of ‘Learn Mode’ by sliding the switch
on the top of the alarm to the ‘Normal mode’ position.

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
damaged. In these places we recommend wall
mounting base with probe.

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 section 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 without
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.
Replace the battery respecting the polarities.
Put the test button back, close the casing by
twisting 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
button is pushed or tested on a damp cloth, the
probable 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.
If the problem continues, please visit www.cavius.

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 flat. Once
assembled 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 be-
fore 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 op-
erating correctly 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 seconds
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 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, 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: - - -
CO alarm low level signal: - - -
CO alarm high level 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.
