2. THE BEST AREAS TO INSTALL THE

FLOOD ALARM:

• Install a ood alarm where it is hard to discover

possible leaks.

The Flood Alarm is designed to detect a leak of water from washing machines, water pipes or under-sink cabinets. It can also be used to detect

ooded basements.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION: The maximum number of alarms that can be interlinked within a house group is 32. Please note: These must be alarms from the CAVIUS

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: 37mm. The alarm is powered by a replaceable 3v CR123A lithium battery. Please note that correct operation of

the ood alarm device is ensured by use of one of

the following batteries: DURACELL, PANASONIC or HUIDERUI.

Interlinked by RF: 868 MHz. Complies to standards: RoHS, REACH, R&TTE (EN300-220-1 and 2), EMC directive 2004/108/EC.

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.

• 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.

1. HOW TO SET UP AND CONNECT ALARMS:

1. Open the ood alarm top

4. PLACEMENT:

The ood alarm is designed to be placed on the oor near to possible leaks.

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.

NORMAL MODE

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.

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.

SCREWS AND

PLUGS

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.

Turn the alarm until it clicks all the way in and can’t be turned - then it is correct position.

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 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.

10. ADD EXTRA DEVICE:

MAINS POWERED

SMOKE ALARM

FLOOD ALARM

HEAT ALARM

SMART REMOTE

All CAVIUS interconnected alarms within the

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 sectio n 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. com for any trouble shooting.

14. OTHER INFORMATION:

Do not paint the alarm.

Note the local country regulations regarding installation.

Disposal: For battery and product, please dispose properly at the end of life. This is electronic waste which should be recycled.
