FAQs

What is the difference between a heat alarm and a smoke alarm?

A heat alarm detects rapid temperature increases or high fixed temperatures, making it suitable for kitchens and garages where smoke alarms might trigger falsely. A smoke alarm detects smoke particles produced by burning materials, essential for detecting smoldering fires early.

Can I interlink this alarm with smoke alarms from other brands?

No, this Cavius alarm is designed to interlink only with other Cavius RF interlinkable alarms. It is not compatible with smoke alarms or interlinking systems from different manufacturers.

How long does the battery last?

The alarm is equipped with a built-in lithium battery that is designed to last for 10 years of continuous operation.

What does it mean when the alarm beeps three times?

Three successive beeps indicate that the alarm has detected a heat alarm condition. This signifies a rapid rise in temperature that warrants investigation.

How many alarms can I interlink together?

You can wirelessly interlink up to 32 Cavius alarms together to create a comprehensive safety network.

Where is the best place to install a heat alarm?

Heat alarms are best installed in locations prone to false alarms from smoke, such as kitchens, garages, workshops, attics, and near heating appliances. It should be used alongside smoke alarms in living areas and bedrooms.

How do I test the alarm?

The alarm has a push-button for testing. Press and hold the button for a few seconds to activate the test sound. Ensure all interlinked alarms also sound when one is tested.

Troubleshooting

Alarm is not sounding

Ensure the alarm is properly mounted and the battery is active. Test the alarm using the test button. If interlinked, check that other alarms are also powered and linked correctly.

False alarms (non-fire related)

While designed to reduce false alarms, consider the location. If persistent, ensure the environment does not have extreme rapid temperature fluctuations unrelated to fire. If the issue persists, consider relocating or ensuring it's not near heat sources like direct sunlight or heating vents.

Interlinking not working

Verify that all alarms are within the specified wireless range (over 100m in open field). Ensure all alarms are of the compatible Cavius RF interlinkable series. Re-initiate the pairing process as per the manual.

Low battery warning (if applicable)

This model features a 10-year sealed battery. If a low battery indicator is present sooner than expected, contact customer support. For models with replaceable batteries, replace with the specified type.
