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 learn
process.

Press the button at the top of one alarm only. This alarm will become
the master and will start sending out a specific house code to the other
alarms. The red LED will flash.

As the other alarms receive the specic house code, they will also ash the
LED light.
When all alarms ash the red LED, they are connected and can be switched
out of ‘Learn Mode’ and installed. 9
2. THE BEST AREAS TO INSTALL THE SMOKE ALARM:
• Install an alarm between possible re sources and
bedrooms as a minimum.
• Install alarms on each oor of the house, in hallways and stairways.
• Alarms in each room such as bed rooms and living rooms.
Additional alarms increase the security.

3. 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 out side +4oto 38oC or above 90%
relative humidity not condensing.
• In kitchens, garages, laundries, or too close to replaces; 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.

Once the mounting base is installed, attach the alarm by twisting clock-
wise 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.

6. 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 ashes correctly
(every 48sec.)
Press the test button on any alarm for at least 6.5 seconds (count 2 sets of 3 sound
sweeps). 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.
18

7. NORMAL MODE:
In normal mode the LED will ash every 48 seconds to show correct operation.
20
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 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 hole with your nger during the testing to
minimize the sound level emitted.
If the problem continues, please visit www.cavius.com for any trouble shooting.

8. 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 ash.
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.
Please note that only the originating alarm’s LED will ash, so it can be
identied.
21
9. PAUSE/HUSH FUNCTION:
If the smoke alarms are to set into a false alarm by cooking, replace, etc. they
can be paused for 10 minutes by pressing the test button on the originating
smoke alarm only (indicated by the ashing LED).
The reason of 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.

10. ADD EXTRA DEVICE:
All CAVIUS interconnected alarms within the
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 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.
25
12. BATTERY REPLACEMENT:
To replace the battery, detach the smoke alarm from the mounting base by
twisting counterclockwise.
Replace the battery respecting the polarities.
Attach the alarm in the mounting base by twisting clockwise until it clicks, and
test the alarm.
26

13.MAINTENANCE & TROUBLE SHOOTING:
• 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 replacement of battery.
