FAQs

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

A smoke alarm detects the visible particles produced by smoldering fires, while a heat alarm detects rapid temperature increases. Heat alarms are better suited for environments where smoke alarms might false alarm, like kitchens.

Can this heat alarm be used as the only fire detector in my home?

No, heat alarms should not be used as the sole method of fire detection. They should be part of a system that includes smoke alarms to provide comprehensive protection against all types of fires.

How many Cavius alarms can be interlinked together?

You can interlink up to 32 other Cavius alarms wirelessly using their RF signal.

What is the warranty period for this alarm?

The Cavius Thermal Heat Detection Alarm comes with a 10-year warranty.

How often should I test the alarm?

It is recommended to test your heat alarm monthly by pressing the test button to ensure it is functioning correctly.

What areas are most suitable for a heat alarm?

Heat alarms are recommended for kitchens, garages, loft spaces, boiler rooms, and workshops where smoke alarms may cause false alarms due to steam, cooking fumes, or dust.

Does the 10-year battery need to be replaced after 10 years?

Yes, after the 10-year lifespan, the internal battery will need replacement, and the alarm unit should be replaced entirely as per manufacturer guidelines.

Troubleshooting

Alarm sounds for no apparent reason.

Check for rapid temperature changes in the room. Ensure the alarm is not located too close to heat sources like ovens or heaters. If the issue persists, try resetting the alarm or contact customer support.

Alarm does not sound when tested.

Verify that the alarm is properly connected to mains power and that the 10-year battery backup is functioning. Check the test button for responsiveness. If it remains unresponsive, the unit may need replacement.

Interlinked alarms are not communicating.

Ensure all connected alarms are within the 100m open-field range. Check that the pairing process was completed correctly for each alarm. Verify that all units are powered.

Low battery indicator (if applicable, though unit has 10-year battery).

The primary battery is designed for 10 years. If a low battery warning occurs unexpectedly, it may indicate a fault with the unit or an issue with the mains power connection. Contact support.
